"Natalie, can you get my cell phone from my room?" Albert asked.
"G-Grandpa, don't worry. I'll talk to him right away," Natalie replied, forcing an awkward smile. "I haven't spoken to him since this morning, so I'll take this chance…."
"Just admit you're missing him and can't wait to talk," Albert teased, grinning. "Go ahead, call him."
Natalie hurried to her bedroom, tossing her bag onto the bed before quickly dialing Justin's number. The call went through, but he didn't answer.
Come on, pick up already.
She gritted her teeth as the second time the result was the same.
Alright, let's just leave him a message. If he misses it, it's his fault.
She typed him a message and sent while she murmured, Please read this. I don't care what's going on with you and your grandma, but I do care about my grandpa.
