“Don’t worry about it. Just get yourself something.” I watched her walk down the street, her pace slow but steady. Then an idea struck me, one I didn’t like but had no other choice. I dialed Marcus but it went to voicemail. I hung up, tried again and got the same result. On the third attempt, I gave in and left a message. “I… I need… I need to take you up on that offer,” I said, voice breaking despite my attempt to sound calm. “Please call me.” Two hours later, my phone buzzed with a text.

One name that still had power over me. “Cass,” I breathed out when the call connected, “I … “

I pulled out my phone and tried her line one more time. ***The person you are calling is currently unavailable...***

Alive. “One…”

i call out softly "Orion, i know its late im sorry i just need to check that your ok you havent answered my calls" I open the door.
