Sadie Williams

I woke up to my phone violently buzzing on the nightstand.

I inhaled deeply as I reached over, grabbing the phone.

"Hello?" I whispered.

"Megan's stuff is on your couch," Kay spoke into the phone.

"Alright," I nodded even though she couldn't see me.

"She having fun?" She asked, I heard her car start up.

"Yep, she's taking a nap right now," I pulled the phone away from my face. "She's been out for about an hour," I said, bringing the phone back to my ear.

"Okay, just make sure she doesn't sleep all day," Kay laughed.

"I know, I know," I yawned. "Bye," I ended the phone call.

"Bye," I clicked the red button and put my phone back on the nightstand.

I turned over and smiled. Megan was sprawled out on the bed with her feet in Harry's face.

Harry was sound asleep, facing her on his side.

I just laid there and watched. I loved watching Megan sleep. Now I get to watch Harry and Megan.

Life is good.

I haven't felt pure bliss like this in a while.

Not since I've seen Max.

His birthday is coming up.

I felt a spark of hope arise in my chest.

I rolled back over, grabbing my phone off the nightstand. I dialed my mother's number, putting the phone to my ear.

The phone rang.

And rang.

And rang.

And rang.

I was just about to give up when the ringing stopped. My heart dropped to my stomach.

"Hello," a quiet voice spoke. Max spoke.

"Max?" I hopped off the bed. "Max, is it really you?" I put my hand on my forehead.

"Sadie?" He sounded so happy. "Sadie where are you?" He yelled into the phone.

"I'm in LA. How did you get mom's phone?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"She's in the store, I waited in the car," he sounded nervous. "Sadie, we live in LA, how are you here?" What? He's been close this whole time?

"No Max, I thought you were in Canada," I shook my head.

"Mom said she had business here," what business?

"Max, what store are you at?" I walked over to the bed shaking Harry awake. He looked up at me with a worried look.

"Walgreens," He said quickly. I stood up from the bed, grabbing my shoes from the floor.

"Can you tell me what's around the store? So I know which one you are at," I held the phone with my shoulder while I shoved my feet in my shoes.

"There's a Redbox close by," I immediately knew where he was.

"Max, stay where you are. Keep mom at the store as long as possible, okay?" I spoke on the phone.

"Okay," He said, nervously.

"I'll see you soon," I hung up before he could say anything else. I turned around, facing Harry again.

"Did you say, Max?" Harry's eyes were wide.
