Stella
You left last night like your ass was on fire. What happened?
Cassie is freaking out. You have to clue her in.
I told her you and Cole have something going on, but that it was your story to tell.
After they both pepper me with texts separately, they decide to start in our group chat.
Stella
hello? Anyone there?
Cassie
Right. A reminder that Layla is MIA.
Stella
We are gonna need proof of life
Cassie
If we don’t get it in T-Minus 30 minutes we are coming over.
Cassie:
I’ve got a key so I’m not even gonna knock.
Stella
what if she’s dead?
Cassie:
We make sure she’s fully clothed, grab the pup, then get the f*ck out
Stella:
Like how you are more worried about her embarrassment level when she’s dead and not calling the police because she’s dead.
Cassie:
Hoes before bros, ya know?
I got your backs, ladies
Stella
Right, good to know.
Their banter threatens a bubble of laughter, but I just don’t have the energy to enjoy their commentary.
There are a few texts from Cole that I don’t want to read, but I do anyway. The first one is several hours old.
Cole:
I’m at your grandma’s house. I don’t see your car.
