Despite the director telling her not to, Sadie let the missed phone calls from Jordan play on her mind the entire time they were running the scene for the movie ‘Lost Dimensions’ run by a big production company. A big production company that would not appreciate the main actress leaving in the middle of her scene. Sadie didn’t even know what they were about, she didn’t have to, it was already enough for her to only focus on the sight of his name on her phone screen while she was supposed to be in the mind of Harper Kreyman. After the third ‘cut’ being called out due to her lack of focus, she finally had to say: [color= khaki]“I’m really sorry but I have to go. It’s important, please, I’m sorry,”[/color] Sadie pleaded while walking away before any arguments could be made.
Sitting in the drivers seat of her car, Sadie played the voicemails that Jordan had left, her heart sinking at the fact that she hadn’t immediately picked up, and had potentially left him alone to deal with their daughter. Without a second thought, she drove out of the studio, and quickly onto the road to Beryl Heights. As the speed of the car increased, she soon heard her phone ringing again, but she couldn’t let it distract her from driving and so she let it go to voicemail again, hoping that she might be able to make up for it once she had arrived.
In desperate hope that she would be there, Sadie first stopped at her house to check for any sign of Annie. Unsurprisingly, she had come home to an empty house, but when she did she played the second voicemail Jordan left about the fight they had and that they should talk about it. In person. Her heart still tugged at the sound of his voice and even more so at the idea of talking in person to him. But before she could focus on talking to him, Sadie attempted calling their M.I.A. daughter. Annie’s voice soon replaced the sound of her dialling phone which brought a sigh of relief from Sadie.
[color= skyblue]“Hey, hi, before you say anything, I know, I’ve already heard it all from Dad,”[/color] Annie immediately insisted, talking quickly, over the phone to her. “Well firstly, you haven’t heard the end of that yet, we will be talking to you about that altogether, but secondly I- we’re calling because we’re worried about our daughter who left to go who-knows-where,” Sadie responded, going full-parent mode on her, as having Annie as a daughter helped her improve that skill. [color= skyblue]“Well… I’m not dead yet, so I’d say I’m okay. But don’t worry about me I’ll be back in, like, an hour. And I’m with a friend, so I’m not by myself which you might be glad to hear or not, I don’t know. But yeah. Here’s the all clear that I am alive and somewhat well. Nothing to worry about,”[/color] Annie claimed, in an ambiguous tone of voice. But no matter how much Annie’s actions that night had disappointed Sadie, in that moment it was overshadowed by the relief of her daughter picking up and that she was okay. “Okay, but come home soon, Mariana, and please just be careful,” Sadie concluded, knowing that pushing Annie with demands will do way more harm than good, especially since the fight that Jordan had lightly touched on in the voicemail.
Hanging up, Sadie knew it was only right to inform Jordan of Annie’s response in person, as he had suggested. Without a second thought to that, she was back in the car driving but this time to Jordan’s house and soon enough she was stood at his doorstep. But there was hesitation. Hearing his voicemails and now being able to hear the sound of him playing the piano… brought on things- feelings- that she couldn’t deny or hold in any longer. And she didn’t know how to have a conversation with him now without letting those feelings out. But Sadie knew this was a situation where she had to try.
The door swung open seconds after she pressed the doorbell to reveal a shirtless Jordan. Which had been a normality in the past but now… this was new. “…Hey, sorry- I should have told you I was coming. I also… should have picked up the call, and should have been here a lot sooner and I’m sorry I wasn’t,” Sadie started, not actually looking at him again until the last few words. “I wanted to tell you that Annie called. Well, no, I called her but she picked up and she’s okay, she’s coming back home soon. And… I also wanted to… see if you were okay after whatever happened at the station. That I’m sorry I wasn’t there for.”
