Makenzies POV
"Sweetheart it's time for dinner." Richard Carver was a lawyer and my dad. He was a single dad with two kids. One 24, my brother Ethan and me 22. We both live at home but we both attend college. We lived in a apartment on the 27th floor in the wonderful windy city (aka Chicago). My dad owns a firm here and we have been living here my whole life. I forced myself away from being curled up in my bench with my notes. Yes that's right notes, I have extensive notes. And not school notes either, I have notes for everything that's going on in Duskwood. I should have been going Over my notes for the Benson & Sawyer case but I couldn't bring myself to do anything. I just kept pouring over my notes, because something was bothering me but I didn't know what.
I shuffled down the hall and entered the kitchen. [I will add a pic of their apartment when I finish design information it]
My dad was dishing up some homemade chicken Alfredo and broccoli. My dad loved to cook and so did I, when we had the time. I started to grab a plate when my brother came into the house with some of his friend's.
"Hey dad!" Ethan dashed past us practically yelling.
Two of my brothers friends, Dustin and Kent ran past whooping, yelling "hi Mr. Carvverrrr"
"Hey Mr. Carver" Jaxon Reed walked in instead of acting like a hooligan. "Hey Kenzie" he said turning to both of us.
"Hello Jaxon," my father said
"Hi" I mumbled.
"How is college going for you?" My father asked him.
"Going well. How about for you Kenzie I haven't seen in a while."
"Um it's going fine I guess." I was still mumbling, when my phone buzzed. I pulled the out and saw

I groaned and then my phone rang again and I saw Jessy was trying to call me again. I threw my phone on the counter and grabbed my pasta and went to sit down. I saw my dad and Jaxon peak at my phone, I had apparently left it face up. My dad had his eyebrow arched,
"Your boyfriend huh?" Jaxon asked.
"She's a girl." I said nonchalantly.
My dads eyebrows went up and so did Jaxson's.
"Girlfriend?"
"Nope friend"
Then my phone buzzed again.
"Cleo, eyes, blushy smile and stick out tongue smile" Jaxon said.
I didn't say anything, I just took another bite of pasta. The call ended and then another one started.
"Lilly, eyeballs, evil smile devil" Jaxon continued. I just rolled my eyes and huffed.
It rang for a minute then died down.
And then another one...
"Dan , alien, head bandage, vampire, smack face", I groaned.
"Are you gonna pick any of these up??" Jaxon continued.
"Nope" I stated.
"Then I will" Jaxon snatched up the phone as I whirled around.
"Hello?" His eyes widened.
Jaxons POV
I saw Kenzie just sitting there eating her food ignoring her calls. This was so not like her, even though I don't know her that well I guess.
"Are you gonna pick any of these up??" I asked pestering her.
"Nope" I made a split decision, what I was curious🤷
"Then I will." I snatched up the buzzing mobile and accepted the call.
"Hello?"
"Da** makenzie where have you been?? Everyone has been trying to reach you!!!!"
"Um sorry this isn't Kenzie."
" isn't this her number I mean I recently had a concussion so.."
"Oh no this is her number but uh I picked it up for her!"
"Oh well where is she?"
"Um " I glanced up she was giving me dagger eyes. "She's right here, putting laxer holes through my brain."
"Well sh**" the guy laughed.
"So your Dan?"
"Yeah man who are you? And how do you know my name?"
"I'm Jaxon Kenzie's uh... friend and uh your contact says Dan alien, bandage head, vampire, smack face."
"Da**" Dan was chuckling on the other side of the line.
"Are you from school? I don't know if I've heard of you?"
"School?? I don't know where Makenzie goes. I'm... im a friend from online."
"Online???" I asked confused, Kenzie didn't use social media, she didn't like it. She didn't even use Instagram for her photography. Her dad's eyebrows raised even higher.
"Yeah, we got put in a group."
"What group?"
"Yeah ok, " Dan seemed to be talking to someone else, "hey is there any chance you can put Makenzie on the phone."
"Okay. Kenzie...?" I pulled the phone away from my ear and held it out to her . She walked up and took the phone.
Makenzie's POV
"Hello?" I said tentatively
"Makenzie! Is that you!?"
"Um yeah..." I mumbled.
"Well where the **** have you been !?"
"Uhhh"
"Richy woke up, he...he wants to see you and the police want to talk to you."
My breath quickened, "I can't Dan, I'm sorry."
"Makenzie wait!"
"I'm sorry. I'm glad he's better."
He growled, "Makenzie wait!"
"Bye Dan"
"Ma..."
I hung up and looked up to see my dad and Jaxon staring.
"What the heck Kenz?"
"What is going on Makenzie?" My father asked calmly, the kind of calm that is SCARY.
"Just some friends, im I'm mad at them because some of them were stupid and got drunk and then got into an accident. "
My dad seemed to accept this because I don't usually lie. But Jaxon didn't look like he believed me. Mostly because I didn't have that many friends.
My brother came into the room still acting a fool. He dashed to the cupboards and began to pull snacks down.
"Hey Jax man you commin or what?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm commin." He kept his gaze on me though. I shifted uncomfortably. Jaxon turned and followed my brother.
I waited a few seconds in awkwardness and then started towards my room.
"You haven't finished your dinner?"
"I'm not hungry." I walked back to my room.
