Riley hugged her parent's picture and cried herself to sleep in their room. The morning was beautiful and bright. Riley sat on the floor holding onto the picture with her head on her parent's bed still asleep when her phone rang.

She reached for it from her bag, checking the caller."Oh Lio..., I forgot to call him back," she whispered as she answered the call."Was waiting for your call but it never came. Are you okay?" he questioned."Yes, I'm alright. I was just caught up in something. So sorry I couldn't return your call.""I know dear, it's okay. No need to worry yourself so much.""Thanks for understanding Lio...""Yeah.
