My body instantly froze, the grip on my phone tighten.

My heart beating fast.

My adrenaline pumping hard.

My brows creased in anger and confusion.

My mind running rampage.

My brain totally confused.

And the same question repeating in my head; 'Why would he call me?'.

I couldn't even hear the faint voices in the background, though I knew they were there. It was like I was in a different place, a state I hated being in; lost.

"It's been a while" he voiced

My jaw clenched as I heard his voice, horrible memories flooding back. My mind flashing back to them, I didn't want this, i didn't want to remember all those upsetting images.

No. I had moved on and now, he meant nothing to me, and he had to accept that.

"Why are you calling me?" I asked him, heading straight to the point.

He heaved a sigh "Please Sophie hear me o-"

"No" i instantly spoke. "I don't want to listen to anything that you have to say. I don't even want to be in this conversation" I fisted my hands, trying to be a low as I can even though I want to yell in his face.

"We never had the chance to talk last time...before I ended up in the hospital" he spoke like he was the victim in this entire situation.

That pissed me off. Even when now, he can't admit it.

"There's no we anymore, and there's is nothing we have to talk about. So please don't call me again" i spat wanting to turn off the call, and never hear his voice again; forgetting I had this conversation with him.

But something he said made my world shatter.

"I had to tell you about your mom".

My voice hitched, and my heart started racing.

Mom?, what's does he have to do with with my mom. He's hasn't even see her much, just few times when we were younger.

"What would you know?" I frowned.

"It's not something I can say over the phone"

I scoffed "Please. I don't time to be wasting on you. There's is nothing you know about her any-"

"Please, just listen. I found out somethings about it, in Claire's room. I didn't recognize her at first but I soon found out. It was your mom"

My mind spinning already "W-what do you mean?" Why was just finding about it now? Does that mean Claire had something to do with mom's death?.

This was too much to take all at once.

"Let's talk about it more in person. The taco joint. 2pm. Monday. See you there"

And with that he hangs up, leaving me to stare at my phone clueless of what to do now.

Was he bluffing?

Is this true?

Was mom's death on purpose?

Have I totally lost it?

"Sophie?"

I feel a tap on my shoulder making me jump.
