The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

There were numerous missed call notifications. The majority was from Jason, followed by Aaron and Xante.

Corinne wondered if she should text to inform him she was safe.

There were also countless messages from Jason on her social media apps. All of them enquired about her whereabouts and her safety.

She felt a little bad for him and replied, [I’m fine. My phone ran out of juice.]

Jason replied almost instantly, [Where are you now?]

[I’d rather not say…] ‘You’d come running straight to me if I told you, and I know that Lucas will let you in to see me because you two have a good relationship.’

Jason sent her another message. [Why not?]

[You’ll know later. I’m sleepy, so I’m going to bed now.] Corinne exited the chat after replying to Jason. She was about to lock the screen and put down the phone when she saw a friend request displayed at the bottom of the screen.
