She wanted to distract herself from all the chaos that she has been so she could feel normal back again . Her phone was ringing but she wasn't giving any attention to it . The caller hit the voice mail' Emily call me back as soon as possible . I have something important to tell you . So please call me back ! '
Emily got off the couch and picked up her phone Had it been somebody else she would have ignored the mail but it was Rachel . Out of all the people she could have never ignored her . She called her ;
