Book 1: Chapter 59 - Life must go on.
My head vibrates and I groan, my eyes twitching in the morning sun. I reach under my pillow and pull out my phone, glancing at the screen.
Unknown Caller ID.
I frown and answer it, sitting up straighter in my bed.
"Hello?" I yawn sleepily, rubbing my eyes. I must have had around two or three hours sleep max. My mind eventually collapsed early hours in the morning and I was able to finally close my eyes and sleep.
"Emily?"
I hear a low husky voice on the other end of the phone and my stomach does a quick somersault inside my body. My eyes widen and within a split second, I'm now wide awake.
"Jake," I breathe out, my voice shaky and quiet.
"Can we talk?" He responds and I feel my stomach tighten in several different knots, twisting in different direction. I shake my head, my teeth clenched tightly together as I struggle to stay composed.
Don't cry Emily, don't cry.
"I don't know," I whisper down the phone, closing my eyes.
