*The Next Day*

Joe: She still hasn't phoned y'know.

Hayden: Oh give it a break, will you?

It is 1pm, and all Joe has been going on about is Sky. Not that I can blame him. It's irritating Hayden though.

We're sat in the living room watching some comedy show. I don't even know what it is, Hayden put it on randomly.

Joe: Oh I'm sorry Hayden, but you're not the one with the angry, unpredictable girlfriend.

Hayden: How would you know? Alisha can get very angry if she wants to.

That's true.

Joe: Yeah, well I bet she hasn't gone as far as Sky can go.

Hayden: No she hasn't because she's not a psychopath like Sky.

Jason sniggers and Joe throws him the death glare.

Joe: It's not funny.

Jason: Oh but is is though, because it's so true. (snorts)

Hayden: Alright it wasn't that funny, no need to snort like a pig Jase.

Jason: Fuck you. 

Hayden: I'm flattered but that would be incest.

Me: Why don't you try calling her now?

Joe: But that's what I tried doing last night and you told me to wait for her to call me.

Me: Well, I think it's safe to say she probably is waiting for you to phone her. Plus it's been a good amount of time so I don't see the harm in trying to phone her now.

Joe: Okay then.

Joe dials her number on his phone.

Jason: Joe and his sexy Nokia.

Joe: It's a Sony, not a Nokia.

Jason: Lies.

Me: Does it matter?

Jason: Yes.

The number Joe dialled starts ringing.

Joe: The waiting game begins.

Jason: Bloody hell Joe, is that on loud speaker?

Joe: I don't know.

Hayden: It is. Turn it off, I'm trying to watch this.

Joe: Alright, alright.

Just as Joe is about to press the loud speaker button, the door knocks. Followed by the voicemail message blaring out of the phone's speakers.

Hayden: Joe!

Joe: I'm turning loud speaker off! Keep your hair on!

Joe hangs up the phone and sighs.

Joe: Another voice mail ain't gonna do shit.

Jason: So who invited who over?

We all look at each other.

Me: Weren't me.

Jason: Or me.

Hayden: Before you ask, no I haven't invited Alisha over. She has a life with her friends too, y'know.

We all look at Joe.

Joe: No, I didn't invite Jeremy over --

He pauses.
