Zoey's ringtone rang throughout the house, stirring Fiona out of her sleep. Slowly her eyelids parted to see the world swirling around her. She outstretched like a cat under their pink duvet and smoothed her rugged hair out of her face.

"Zo answer your phone babe." She mumbled, burrying her face in her pillow.

The irritating sound of Zoey's Mario ringtone continued.

"...Zo! Please answer your phone!" Fiona yelled slightly louder, cursing under breath and looking slightly up at their ceiling.

The ringtone grew more and more annoying untill, Fiona cracked.

"For God's sake Zoey answer your fucking phone!" She boomed, sitting straight up with a look of anger and her hands at her side. Immediately she turned, expecting to see a still asleep Zoey.

"Z-Zoey?" Her eyes met the space where Zoey had fallen asleep next to her night before, now untidy and empty. "Zoey?" She spoke slightly louder, the house now eerily quiet except for that damn ringtone.

She reached far over to their bedside table and grasped Zoey's phone. Turning it on, the ringing finally halted. Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, peace. She unlocked the phone, Zoey's password of course being 1208.

When we first met. She smiled, peering at the person who rang. L-Lewis was calling? I'll call him back, ask for a message for when Zoey gets back from...where ever she is.

"Hey, Lewis? What's wrong? Zoey's not here right now so I can take a message." She said, immediately ringing his number and now pacing the floor in her slippers.

"Actually- Ah crap! Um, sorry for the noise. It's you I wanted to- Fuck! You I wanted to get a hold of but obviously I don't have your number. Zoey's with me and H-Hannah. In the, in the hospital."

"What?! Wha- What happened oh fuck!" Fiona cried, kicking the wall and sitting on the edge of the bed.

"No, calm down! Um, Zoey's fine, I promise. So am I, it's Hannah." He swallowed hard. "Zoey please calm down!" He shouted into the distance, the phone managing to catch his hurried words.

"Well, is Hannah okay? What's wrong?" Fiona's voice quickening.

"Is that Fiona?" A small voice echoed from afar, Fiona just managing to recognise it.

"Um, yeah Zoey. Give me a minute."

"Okay..." The voice whispered. "I love you Fifi!" It boomed, making Fiona smile and Lewis chuckle slightly.

"Ha, well basically, well- Look I'll talk later. I'll get Zoey to ring you or something using my phone, I promise I'll get back to you." He hurried, urging to end the call.

"Okay, okay but just tell me why Zoey's there! Obviously you're there but how did she end up with you two without me knowing?" Fiona's words were panicked as she rambled into her phone, hearing the desperation in Lewis' voice.

"Um, Zoey was out last night. As I was driving Hannah I saw her crying on the sidewalk so I picked her up and she came with us. Look I've got to go, bye!"

"B-bye..."

Oh fuck! What's going?! Why do I have to be kept in the dark! Why didn't Zoey take her phone, she could have rang me! Why was she out last night anyway?! Oh fuck me sideways.
