Then I open up my group text.
Me:
All in the clear
No more big bad coming to get us
Hope:
Yay!
Kayla:
Party time!
Madison:
You okay?
Nan:
Can’t wait to hang out!
I pause at You okay. Shit, I haven’t talked to them since before Tom and I were shot at.
Me:
Okay, don’t freak out
Tom and I were shot at
Kayla:
What?
Me:
Tom got hit in the shoulder and is home
Nan:
OMG
Me:
Mom and Roger are back from Europe
Madison:
Do you need anything?
Hope:
How can we help?
Me:
I think for once I’m taken care of
