7:33 P.M.

Phone again.

Maybe it’s—

Mom and Dad. It’s Mom and Dad.

I answer. “Hello.”

“Hi, Callie.” Mom.

“Hey, Cal.” Dad.

“How are you doing?” Mom.

Melanie has talked to them. I can tell. She obviously told them not to mention anything—not to mention him. Thanks, Mel.

“I’m fine, Mom. Just tired.” Lies. Not fine. Not tired.

“Do you want to come for dinner tomorrow night? Your mother and I can cancel—”

“No, Dad. You and Mom go to your neighborhood party thing. I have a lot of schoolwork to do anyway.” That’s actually true. I said something that is true. I have done no schoolwork since Thursday.

Silence on the other end of the phone. Just breathing.

Awkward.

I’m sorry that I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m—

“Okay, we’ll let you go get some work done then.” Mom. “We love you, Callie.”

“I love you guys too.”

“Good night, Cal.”

“Night, Dad. Night, Mom.”

Phone down.

Staring again. Staring at the clock. Staring at the ceiling.

{Listening to something. It doesn’t even matter what.}
