Chapter 23: Trail by Media

*Sophie’s POV*

Nigel: Sophie, pick up the phone. I need to talk to you now.

Nigel: Sophie, where are you? Why aren't you picking up the phone?

Nigel: Seriously, Sophie. I need to talk to you. Have you seen the f*cking news?

I glanced down at my phone, which I had set aside to be plugged, and saw the onslaught of messages. 'What was going on with Nigel? I hadn't checked my phone since I told him I had arrived at my mother's house the following morning.

Sophie: Nigel, I'm just seeing your messages. What the hell is going on?

Nigel: You tell me.

Sophie: Tell you what???

Nigel: Pick up the phone. I don't feel comfortable texting you anymore. You can't be trusted.

Sophie: What? What the hell are you talking about?

Sophie: ???

Sophie: Nigel, you're scaring me. What are you talking about? Is this some joke? Because if it is, it's not funny.

Sophie: Nigel??

"Sophie, can you-"

"What, d*mmit!!" I screamed, interrupting Uncle John.
