[Jessica felt a little stupid, calling her sister like this. She was so wholly stunned and feeling emotionally fragile after everything she’d witnessed two days earlier. But to let two whole days pass with little word to Trish was unacceptable. In Jess’s defense, she’d spent one of those days dealing with the legal system, and honestly she was surprised it hadn’t been a bigger issue.]
C’mon, pick up...
[Since then, she’d been avoiding most people. Jessica’s face was all over the news, and she wasn’t accustomed to this sort of notoriety. Her work voicemail was completely filled with all sorts of messages- insane rants, emotional thanks, and everything in between. To some, she was a hero. To others, a murderer. It was enough to make her head spin.]
Hey, Trish. It’s Jessica. I’m sorry I didn’t call sooner, it’s been... well, the last two days have been hell. But I couldn’t leave you. I needed... I wanted to check on you. See how you’ve been handling everything.
...are you okay?
