[ FOUR A.M. ]

💣MAVROS💣

After tossing and turning I gave up the fight and got up. I ran my hand through my hair in resignation and checked the time. I turned my phone on and 3:50 shone brightly into my eyes. I sighed and got up and put on my pants. I went downstairs and noticed a light under the tech room. Curious why Jess was up, I opened the door and stepped inside. Jess was indeed up, and staring at the lit screen. He swiveled around and he jumped, bumping the chair into the desk. I watched anxiously as the desk and computer tipped and settle back into place.

"Fucin' hell Mav! You're as silent as the *Iga-ryu of the Sengoku period."* He rubbed his chest and scowled.

*ninja prefect group*

I gave him a confused glance with a shrug.

"A ninja prefect from the late fifteenth century to the late sixteenth century."

"Okay. I'll take that as a compliment." I chuckled awkwardly.

"You wouldn't be you if you didn't take a history lesson as a compliment."

"True. Oh and sorry...I would've knocked, but didn't wanna chance waking anybody up." I sheepishly grinned as I wheeled a chair beside him.

"What are you doing up?" Jess ignored my apology and eyed me curiously.

"Feelin' restless. You?"

"Same."

"Since Ver left..." We said simultaneously.

"You miss her?" We both nodded.

"She was so much fun to have around. It was like having a sibling." Jess grinned in thought before turning back to me.

"It's practically a cemetery around here."

"I wouldn't...you know, never mind." Jess shook his head and I laughed.

"What are you doin' online?"

"I was checking my email to see if Verity replied."

"You two don't text?" I asked as I swiveled my chair side to side.

"We have, but I prefer email so Ver switched to emailing me."

"Ah." I ducked my head and scratched it.

"That infamous email was your first and last communication." He opened his mouth and quickly closed it.

"Yeah..."

An awkward silence settled between us as we looked anywhere except each other.

Dam, Mav this is awkward. Think of something.

( ( BINGGG ) )  ( ( BINGGG ) )

Fewww, thank God. I sighed in relief as I took out my phone.

I looked at my notifications and saw Verity's picture and a message beside it.

"Who texted you?"

"Ver."

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

4:00
<Ver>
location
share

I looked at the Google maps link in puzzlement.

Does she want me to meet her somewhere?

"So..what'd she say?"

"Uhh..a google maps location."

"Huh? That's weird."
