CARRIE

Chapter Twenty-Eight

I checked the time on my phone. I haven't talked to Jenny for a while now, I set up the living room for the movie as I contemplated whether to text or call her. I was thinking about doing both when I heard Carrie and Leah come downstairs. "What movie are we watching?" Carrie asked as they both went to get popcorn and drinks from the kitchen. "I have no idea, I was waiting for you two to decide" I sighed as I sat down. "Let the algorithm decide, just search for a genre and pick one" Leah suggested to both of us. We agreed so I played the first movie that popped up. Into the movie, it was like everything reminded me of Jenny. I was still thinking about her when my phone rang, I looked at the screen and saw it was my Mom calling. I picked the call and sat up, "Hey Mom, what's up?" I asked, still smiling. She whispered into the phone "Someone is following me Barry, I don't know who it is or why the person is following me". I didn't hear clearly at first, I put the phone on speaker and signaled to Leah and Carrie to come closer. She repeated it and Carrie got so scared. She collected the phone and talked into it, "Mom what's wrong? Where are you?".
