LOCATION β The Green Dragon Apartments ( phone call ).
WHO β Sebastian & Phoebe ( @phoebeyates )
Calling Phoebe after the bombshell of big news had been dropped atop Seb and CJβs heads only felt like a natural course of action, as far as he was concerned. Seeing that he couldnβt necessarily call Jeanie while she was working to let her know what was going on, and taking into account that he was avoiding the disappointed scolding heβd receive from Hunter for as long as humanly possible β well, that meant his best friend was the first one up to the plate to deal with whatever word vomit would come out of his mouth.
If she would answer, that is. He called once with no response, twice with no response, and the third and fourth time he didnβt even let it ring all the way before he was trying to call again. He stopped for a moment, only to text her a nonsensical string of question marks and exclamation points to signify that whatever the hell she was doing was clearly not as important as this.
Apparently, she didnβt think so. He stopped counting around ten missed calls and just felt relieved the moment that he heard something else rather than her cringey βleave a voicemailβ recording.
Okay, maybe he played it a little calm and collected before, but there was still a piece of him that was internally freaking out.
βPhoebe! What the fuck, man?! What the fuck do you think this is β time to unplug, you canβt answer your phone?! Bullshit, by the way. I know youβre on this fucking thing like, twenty-four fucking seven. You can see when Iβm calling you, bitch.β
He took a breath, loud and pointed, before he continued, βI have news. I just need you to like, promise me that you won't be mad?β
