I watch as everyone slowly turns over to me as I scramble to find my phone

I finally find it and answer

"Hey!" I say

"What. The. Fuck. Happened." Sloane says sternly

I explain everything to her and everyone else in the room is staring at me

"Thank you, goodbye" she says and hangs up

"So, are you going to explain what that ringtone is?" Officer Jayson asks

"Yeah Collins, tell us, tell us who was on the phone too" Jayden says

"First of all, she chose the ringtone for herself" I say

"I bet I know who it is!" Ruby says, saying the word is stretched out

I roll my eyes and say

"I bet you do, go ahead and say it"

"It's Sloane!" Ruby says, again making Sloanes name long

"Dude do you not know how to ask if she'll be your girlfriend?" Jayden says

"I met my wife while on duty" Officer Jayson says

"This headache is killing me" Ruby says

She leans her head on Jaydens shoulders but he keeps looking at me dead in the eyes

"Answer." He says

"No, I don't, because even if she says yes, if we get into a fight, I'm getting clobbered, she told me she took boxing, martial arts, and karate until the age of 17, I've been in like 3 fights." I say sternly back to him

"Why are you worried? You both obviously like eachother, yeah sure, you both may get into a fight but she wouldn't lay a finger on you even if she had the chance too" he says

I roll my eyes and open up my phone

Hey Collins, sorry for bei...

I open up the message that Sloane sent

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey Collins, sorry
for being rude
earlier, I had just
woken up and
people told me to
ask you

No worries! I get
it how when you
wake up things
can feel a bit
weird and you
have to figure
out what's going
on

Thanks for
understanding
boo, I'll see you
when I get out of
the hospital

Why can't I come
visit you in the
hospital?

They said nobody
was allowed to see
me for until I get
better

Okay, bye Smalls!

Bye Ray!

"What are you smiling at your phone at for? I know for a fact you ain't watching tiktok, I ain't hearing no noise at all, your texting someone, probably Sloane, cause your in looveee" Jayden says

"I'm texting my dad" I say

"You absolutely despise your dad, he left when you were 3 and made no effort to be in your life, there's no way, for one, your texting him, for two, if you are actually texting him, you wouldn't be smiling" Jayden says

"Damn." Officer Jayson says

"Yo Officer Jayson? Is your first name Jayson?" I ask

"Yeah my last is Ryans" he says

"Can I call you Jayson rather then putting officer in front of it?" I say

"Go right ahead" he says

"Collins." Jayden says

"Mhm?" I say and turn to look at him

"You love her."
