Griffin

I’m back, bitches.

Sebastian

Dude. Don’t be derogatory.

Griffin

Don’t be such a bitch.

Griffin has been removed from the chat

Sebastian

Why do we love him, again?

I’m shaking with laughter by the time I get to the last text. I’m still nervous about practice tonight, but the guys have my back. Everything will be okay. I take a deep breath and tap out a reply.

Me

I’m alive. You guys can stop worrying. Just had my phone on silent.

Maddox

Hey, man. You okay?

Logan

I’m adding Griffin back again.

Griffin

STOP KICKING ME OUT OF THE CHAT, ASSHOLES.

Sebastian

Ryder texted. He’s okay. Just had his phone on silent.

Griffin

Oh, good! Sorry for the balls-deep comment, man.

Me

LOL. All good. Just don’t say shit like that in front of Lexi, or she’ll kick your ass.

Griffin

Yeah, my roommate would kick my ass too.

Maddox

How’s Lexi?
