"Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you as well," I responded. The fact that Chase had mentioned my current state had kind of thrown me off, but there wasn't much I could've done about it anyway.

I watched as Chase led Paul until they disappeared from my view, sinking into the sofa again afterwards. I was sleepy, and there was no one there to stop me from falling asleep at that moment, so I ended up succumbing to sleep. Less than five minutes later, I received a call from my mother.

"Come home. Now," she said.

"Mom? What happened?" I asked, quite disoriented by her irritated tone.

"I said now!" She then hung up.

At that point, I was nothing but a combination of confused and worried.
