June 2nd-Evening (Phone)

[morethan084]

[With everything that's gone as of late, Skye is struggling with the fact that her mother had been in trouble with the law. She was also struggling to not act like she wasn't as affected by this as she was, considering no one around here knew they were related. Much less mother and daughter.

She was desperate now though and it was hard to keep the worry out of her voice.]

Has anyone seen Jiaying?

Comments

[morethan084]

[Skye swallowed thickly at the mention of the party. Even though she assumed this was the cause of the disappearance, it was hard when someone else brought up the same suspicion.]

Yes.

Which I know is not a coincidence.

[seeyaduke]

Did the sheriff take her?

[And then much more importantly:]

Did you know?

[morethan084]

[Skye felt sick to her stomach as soon as she was asked that question. It's not really surprising that she would be accused of something like that, considering that they had been seen in public enough time to have people think they were friends.

It still hurt regardless and it's hard to not be defensive.]

Did I know that people were going to get hurt or die that night? No. I didn't.

[seeyaduke]

[Ana isn't sure if she should believe her or not. Right now she's angry enough not to, but she isn't going to say that. Revenge doesn't seem to work here, at least not now.]

Have you spoken to the sheriff?

[morethan084]

[The fact that she didn't even acknowledge her defense didn't surprise Skye at all. She expected it, kind of. This backlash on her personally.]

It would be like talking to a brick wall.

[seeyaduke]

Do you know why she did it? I thought we were friends.

[morethan084]

It was an accident.

[That's what she had told her and she believed it. Why would someone who's done so much for this community do something that terrible on purpose? Skye refused to think that her mother was actually capable of hurting anyone.]

[seeyaduke]

I saw her. She basically went 'oops' and dropped it. I've done things like that, it wasn't an accident.

[morethan084]

It was. I was there too.

[Except she wasn't in the room when it happened.]

[seeyaduke]

Oh, did you die too?

[morethan084]

You don't want to help and that's fine, but I'm done having this conversation with you.

[seeyaduke]

I hope she's alright and hasn't run over the wall somewhere.

For your sake.

[Because Ana wants to find her first.]

[morethan084]

[She bites her tongue, literally, because otherwise she's going to snap. So instead of saying anything she hangs up.]
