After dropping Lily off at the pool, Justin debated on whether or not to go back to rescue Emily from his family. The practice was two hours long and the pool was twenty minutes from Aunt Rhonda's house so it would be more convenient to sit and wait for it to be over than drive back and forth but…
He shot her a quick text. 'I might be here a while. Are you holding up okay or do you need to me to come back for a bit?'
She responded immediately. 'We're having the time of our lives here and don't need you!'
Justin was taken aback. That didn't sound like Emily. That sounded like…Sam. So she stole Emily's phone, huh? 'Sam, seriously, is she okay?'
'Yeah, we've been gossiping about you the whole time you've been gone. She's in the bathroom now' the phone thief replied.
'What have you been telling her?!' Justin panicked. Sam knew way too much about his situation with Emily and could easily ruin everything he had worked for.
