Chapter 56 CHAPTER 56: RIGHT FUCKING NOW

ZAYNE’S POV

“Hey,” I greeted as I answered Andrea’s call. “Gotten an Uber yet?”

A weird sound responded. I frowned and stood up from the couch in the living room. Nora looked up from the TV at me in question.

I signaled that I would be back and moved towards the foyer.

“Drea?” I called out.

I couldn’t hear anything other than that strange sound like…choking?

“Andrea!” I called out again, feeling panic rise in my chest. “Andrea, can you hear me?”

I heard a soft thud, like the phone had fallen. “Andrea!” I yelled.

Then I heard a small shuffle and a feminine voice I didn’t recognize floated through the speaker.

“Andrea can’t come to the phone right now, but feel free to leave a message.” There was a manic giggle. “Although I can’t promise she’ll ever receive it.”

Dread settled in my stomach. “Who—” The dial tone cut me off.

My hands shaking with panic, I dialed Andrea’s number again. An automated voice informed me that the number I was dialing was unreachable.
