Kapitel 41: Crazy

Ethan nodded at Remora before turning to her and asking, "Do you mind waiting a bit longer? I need to make a call home."

Remora replied with a simple "Sure," and Ethan hesitated for a moment before dialing Mia's number. After a few rings, she picked up with an irritated tone, "Where are you, you dumb fuck?"

Ethan winced at her words before getting straight to the point. "Mia, did Mom and Dad see that picture that's going viral?"

"They did," she confirmed.

Ethan's heart sank, and he quickly asked, "Can you handle it? I don't want to worry them."

Mia scoffed at him, calling him a "retard" before adding, "I've already calmed them down about the picture. They were just worried about not being able to reach you. Okay, Mom wants to talk to you now."

Ethan took the phone, hearing his stepmother's angry voice on the other end. "Ethan? Why haven't you been answering our calls? Where are you?"
