Summary
Breath seizing, Ilya hovers over the call button and presses on Shane’s name. Fidgeting in front of his locker, he puts the phone to his ear and listens to the ringing. And ringing. And ringing.
He really doesn’t like this at all.
The call goes to voicemail. It cuts right through the bone, to his soft center, where it hurts most.
Clenching his molars, Ilya hangs up and searches for Yuna’s name on his contact list. If any of the guys try to talk, he doesn’t hear them, doesn’t hear anything but the sound of his reeling thoughts.
Pressing Yuna’s name, he brings the phone to his ear again. She picks up on the second ring.
“Hey,” Yuna sounds surprised, “what’s up, hon?”
Loosening his jaw, chest panging, Ilya asks, “hey, have you heard from Shane since game ended?”
“Uh,” Yuna’s phone switches ears, “no, why?”
Fuck.
“Can you check on him?” Ilya tacks on a “please” that comes out desperate.
A beat of concern passes. “Yeah,” Yuna says, drawing out the word, “can drive over right now. Has he not told you about,” her pause is purposeful, and Ilya knows what it means, “yet?”
“No,” Ilya says, sick to his core, “I have bad feeling.”
