9:20 p.mMy phone buzzed in my hand as I stared out the window of my room. The moon was coveted by clouds and only it's faint glow could be seen through them.
I glanced at the caller id and paused for a moment.
Himanshu was calling.
My brows knitted in their place as I took the call and answered. "Hey..."
There was no response on the other end. My heart constricted in it's place.
"Himanshu....?"
Again, no response. My fists bundled up.
"Moose...."
"Ronnie...."
His voice was hoarse and low, but it came out perfectly on the other end.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Mm....not...not really." I could feel a strain in his tone. I walked back towards the bed.
"What happened?" I asked but a painful silence followed. "Moose?"
"Can you....meet me at my house?" He asked, his voice getting softer with each word. I realised something must be wrong. Why else would he call me?
"Should I inform the others?" I asked, already putting on my jacket. "We can all come if you want-"
"No." He interjected, this time loud and clear. "Just you."
I stopped in my tracks as I heard that.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Blinking twice, I licked my lips before answering, "Okay. I'll be there in ten."
"Hm."
Saying that, he disconnected the call. Stuffing my phone in my jacket pocket, I stared at the ground, still processing what just happened when Zoya came in.
