2 amThe faint glow of phone light on Jamie's face did nothing to alleviate his sleeplessness. Putting it away wouldn't do any good either, though. Darkness and the hum of aquarium filters had been his only company for at least four hours. Since deciding to try and call it a night, he'd done absolutely no sleeping or even dozing and the slow, painful tick of time had become too much to handle.
On the screen held above his head was a text window. I can't sleep, was what he typed first, then deleted it and went for are you awake? Inevitably that was deleted too, replaced with a single word.

2 am
The drone of the television from downstairs made his room feel worlds away. Laying in bed with his eyes closed made him feel like he was floating. He hadn't been asleep, but he wasn't fully awake either, stuck in some strange half woken purgatory. Everything felt light here, quiet and ephemeral...
His phone buzzed, and he lazily looked over at the lit screen before it dimmed. He picked it up.
Hi.
The reply is a few minutes later.

2 amThe wait was one of two things. Shiloh had warned him about the first, about the fact that his responses could be pretty slow, and Jamie had witnessed firsthand how he seemed to hesitate hardcore while he typed. No idea why, but Jamie didn't mind. The second, well, that was simple. He could be sleeping and honestly Jamie wouldn't have minded that either.
He'd almost set down his phone when the text came through.TEXT TO SHILOH yeah i wanna sleep but i feel wide awake i didn't actually wake you up did i

2 amDang, Jamie responded fast. Or maybe that was just normal. Shiloh had to squint at the screen to make out the letters, though he wasn't sure if it was from the brightness or his dyslexia or just bad vision. Probably a big ******** mix of the three.

2 amThere were always the longest pauses when Jamie was listening to the songs Shiloh sent. If the app would let him listen to them while doing other things, he would've kept talking, but he really was the type to want to listen to each recommendation with his full attention.TEXT TO SHILOH omg i heard a foals song on the radio yesterday but that was the first one this is only the second one rly good tho and i like listening to the songs you send TEXT TO SHILOH pity sex omg that band name i might try to sleep tho again maybe i just wanna not be tired in the morning
