Alex’s name swam on the screen for a second before my eyes focused. I frowned. It was past midnight.
“Hello?”
He said.
“Hey,”
I said back—then paused.
“Wait. Hi. Sorry.”
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a sigh.
“You okay?”
“Yeah. Totally. I mean—yes.”
I glanced around, trying to take inventory of where I was. Music thumped somewhere behind me, muffled by walls and distance.
“Actually, can I ask you something?”
Another pause. Longer this time.
“That depends.”
“Can you pick me up?”
He didn’t answer right away. I could picture him sitting up wherever he was, rubbing his face, checking the time.
“Where are you?”
he asked.
I looked at the street sign across the road, squinting.
“Uh. Near a taco place? With a green sign.”
“That narrows it down,”
he said dryly.
I laughed, then immediately winced.
“I can send my location.”
“Please do.”
I fumbled with my phone, nearly dropping it before managing to send the pin. There was a moment of silence, then—
“Are you drunk?”
“No,”
I said automatically. Then, quieter,
“Okay, maybe a little.”
He exhaled through his nose.
“Stay where you are. I’ll be there in twenty.”
“Thank you,”
I said, relief washing over me.
“You’re the best, and please don’t tell my brother.”
“I’m hanging up.”
Alex replied, already sounding tired.
The call ended. I stared at my phone for a second, then slipped it back into my pocket and leaned against the wall, listening to the music and waiting.
