She looked at her phone's screen puzzled. It had gone straight to voicemail. Her mom was never away from her phone. She's wondering why she's not answering her call.
"What?" Maddie asked noticing the expression she wore. "Did your phone take something from you?" his voice was laced with humor. The horrible joke, but her mind was too occupied to fake a laugh.
"No, my mom's phone isn't going through. That's weird." She added the last part to herself trying to call her once more. Again... Straight to voicemail.
"I think I'll call my aunt and find out what's going on with her."
"Why call your aunt and not your dad?" Maddie said as he stood up and placed his hand over her phone preventing her from making any calls.
She looked at him peculiarly, "Were you not here when he came to 'visit'?" she said putting air quotes on the visit.
"I was."
