Chapter 12. Wakeup Call

Brayden

Ring…ring…ring…

Ugh… I roll over on the bed and grab my phone off the nightstand. A groan slips out of my mouth when I see what time it is. It isn’t even time to wake up yet. I should have another hour. Why?

Grumbling under my breath, I put the phone on speaker and practically slam it back down on the nightstand as I grunt, “I still have another hour to sleep. You should have waited.”

Hunter’s cheery voice replies, “I didn’t want to wait. I miss you. Plus, you didn’t call last night.”

Last night. Jacob’s words bubble up in my mind while they also slice right through my heart.

Luckily, Zack was here to take my mind off of it. I have to admit, I didn’t think talking to anyone would help, but it did. I still don’t know why I feel comfortable around him. Usually, the only ones who I can talk to like that are Jacob and Hunter.

I bury my head deeper into my pillow as I groan. “I didn’t feel like talking. I’m going back to bed.”
