"Jaxon...

"Josie, he really didn't say." Perhaps that is the case, for Jaxon to have gotten so angry last night, he was using it to hide behind the real issue...he was hurt.

Walking into my room I find Cleo sat on my bed scrolling through social media on her phone. I look around the room for Maya but hear her laughter downstairs, something that by now might have woken up Knox. She probably did it on purpose. I close the door behind me, Cleo's eyes falling upon me.

"Yeah, I just tried Jace but he isn't answering." I hear her respond as I place a towel on the edge of the sink.

"He isn't answering anyone." I step back into my room, sitting next to her on the bed.
