They had stayed up all day trying to find out their moms' whereabouts but to no avail. Alex really missed her mom knowing what her mom had been up to but she needed to be with her mom at such a time. "That's your mom right? I'm so sorry" she said as she tried consoling her Alex.
It was already night, and thankfully Gabbie had brought some stuff she knew she would need to spend the night and seeing Alex like this, she knew she had to stay with her.
Alex tried sending her sister text messages about where their mom had been going, what she's been doing and what she has gotten herself into. Thankfully, Alexi read and replied to the texts
'What! Are you serious? I'm coming home right now' Alex felt relieved and heaved a huge sigh. Gabbie still remained a true friend and stayed with her.
...
*The next morning*
'Ding Dong' the door bell rang. "Ahh" Gabbie yawned. "Alex! Wake up! Someone's at the door!" she said as she was gently tapping and pushing her on the bed. Alex opened her eyes, then shut them again as the sunlight light up in her eyes and she covered them with the back of her palm. She quickly got out of bed and rushed down to the door. "Alexi! Welcome back! I've missed you" she said as she hugged her. "Did you see the news yesterday night?" she asked. "Yeah. I'm so disappointed" she said honestly with a bummed look.
"I just wish mom could come back home. She's been arrested and in custody ever since!" Alexi said. "Yeah. I miss you mom!" Alex said as she sobbed gently as Gabbie and Alexi patted her back softly.
