Wrong Number...Part 1

"You would if your father told you too..." I said and watched her pause mid chew. Nicole screamed out before she could catch herself; causing Symone to give a boring look into the screen.

"Fuck both of yall." She mumbled and we both laughed.

We were on a FaceTime call in the middle of the afternoon. It was Saturday and the three of us were enjoying our time off...meaning we weren't doing a damn thing.

"So what time are you going to your peoples house-" I cut Nicole off with a smack of my lips and got more comfortable on my couch.

"NOT! It's my first weekend in my place...I'm staying the fuck right her-" I was in the middle of talking when that damn phone started ringing.

"HAAA! That's probably your mother calling!" I cut my eyes at my IPhone screen before looking over at the cordless on the end table from my spot on the couch.

"Fuck that phone." I dismissed it and after a minute or two it stopped ringing.

"Shit, unplug it!" Nicole said. I looked at the screen and smacked my lips at the fact she had her phone down so all I could see was her damn ceiling fan going.

"I do at night before I go to bed, you should see the amount of missed calls I have...shit is ridiculous. I mumbled.

RING RING

All three of us smacked our lips and I just reached over and grabbed the phone.

"Hello-"

"You have a collect call from the Baltimore City Detention Center-" I hung up quick.

"Damn girl who was that? You look like you saw a ghost." Symone said while leaning her face all the way into the screen until I could see nothing but her forehead.

"First of all...back the hell up, secondly...girl I just got a call from jail...excuse me...prison." I said and that got their attention.

"WHAT!? Awww HELL nawl!" That made Nicole pick her phone up and for the first time her face came into view.

"That's what I'm saying-" I said slightly worried...it's one thing to have the bullshit calls, but this...this was not it.

RING RING

"OH SHIT!" Nicole screamed and I dropped my cell and picked up the phone to look at the caller I.D, sure enough it was them calling back.

"Are you fucking forreal?" I mumbled and heard the girls calling for me. I looked away from my cordless phone and picked my cell back up.

"What happened? Symone asked and I just shook my head.

"It was them again...I'mma just let it ring until-"

RING RING

I closed my eyes and sighed.

"Just answer and let them know they have the wrong number so they can stop calling." Nicole advised. I bit my lip and cut my eyes at the phone.

Before it stopped I picked it up and hit the talk button.

"Hello-"

"You have a collect call from the Baltimore City Detention Center...press one to accept the call from..."

"Erik." I pulled the phone away from my ear when I heard the man's voice come through suddenly.

"What happened!?" They both screamed the question at me.

I ignored them and hit one and waited while the operator connected the call. After a moment I heard that same gruff voice come through.

"Hello? Angie?" I blinked a few times while sitting up straight.
