Me

Are you okay? I just saw the news about your dad.

I’m definitely surprised when she immediately responds.

Becca

No, I’m not okay. It’s awful. My family is so horrid.

Me

What? How do you mean they’re horrid?

Becca

It doesn’t matter. I’m only here because I’m expected to be, but they’ve made their opinions of me very clear. I hate it here. I wish I’d never come back.

Me

Where are you from again?

Becca

Indiana. A small town outside Indianapolis.

Me

No shit? I just got done playing a game in Indianapolis.

Me

Send me your location.

Becca

That’s not necessary, Jacob. I’ll be fine. I’ve survived them for over thirty years. A few more days won’t kill me.

Me

Send me your location.

Becca

Jacob.

Me

Becca.

Becca

I don’t have much extra time. I’m at my parent’s now. There’s a stupid dinner thing, and I still have to change.

Me

A dinner thing? When is the funeral?

Becca
