I still wait for an answer. A positive one.
Or maybe a headache that helps me to come back to reality.
"A-Alex?" I ask, but he has already hung up.
I immediately call again. There's still no response on the other side.
My knees start trembling as my mind imagines every possible scenario. Fortunately, my thoughts are soon vanished by a voice in the distance.
"Eric?!" Noah yells from inside the house.
"I'll be there in a second!" I yell, fighting back my anxiety.
What should I tell him? If I knew what has just happened, would it be easier to find the words to say?
I shake my head and tighten the grip on my device, giving my complete attention to it just in case I get a call or something. A fake smile shows on my face as I slowly make my way to the living room.
