The Unexpected… II 53C

It was the strangest things. Messages from both Jenny and Aida. What are the odds? Sawyer looked down at his phone, baffled by the coincidence which wasn’t really one, because they had sent messages days ago and because he only called Alastair all through the week and did absolutely nothing else with his phone really, he’s only now seeing it. So he called his sister’s best friend. “Sawyer?” Aida sounded surprised.

He rubbed the back of his head, getting up from his bed as he did. “Hey Aida. How are you?”

“I’m fine.”

Silence. “I saw your message and I thought I should check on you.” This feels a bit strange.

“Why didn’t you come? They’re your sister and your mom and you didn’t come.”

“I had classes. I couldn’t make it.”

“On a Sunday?” This isn’t good. He sighed. “It wasn’t fair.”

“There are worse unfair things Aida. I did not want to be there.”

“Your dad wasn’t there either.”
