Chapter 84: Hollie's Messages

"Girl! Where have you been!? We need to meet. What's up with you? I went to your mum's shop, and she said you are out of town.. I was so worried, you weren't replying to me.." Hollie rushed her words out.

Aila pursed her lips as she rounded the corner and entered the living room, only to go to the patio door that Charles replaced after seeing Ajax and Finn playing an army game on the PlayBox while snapping at each other where to go on the map. Closing the door behind her, she walked a few steps before sitting on the ground.

"Sorry," Aila began to mumble until Hollie cut her off, continuing to blabber on about Aila's disappearance. 

There was something off about the way her friend was talking. She sounded nervous. Nervous about what? 

".. Ugh, look at me going on and on. You haven't even said a word! Aila, let's meet. Are you free at the weekend?"

Aila paused a second before replying, "Yeah, I can meet you Saturday?"
