Chapter 14: The Cat's Outta the Bag

tw: slight description of panic attack (kinda, not detailed though)

4/8
9:57 pm

I had 15 missed calls from Jaime and 30 unseen text messages from her.

I also had 3 missed calls from Sapnap and 7 unseen texts.

And for some reason I had two missed calls from Clay and 5 unseen texts.

I ignored everything from Jaime still being thoroughly pissed at her. Only sending her a text saying, "Hey, I'm not dead lol," and leaving it at that.

I checked my messages from Sapnap first seeing as I had more from him than Clay.
