If the buzzing didn’t wake him up, Austin would’ve. John blindly fumbles for his phone, not bothering to look at it. It’s probably another scam call, or some random person trying to sell him crap. He finally grabs it, the light illuminating his pale face.

His eyes widen when he reads the caller ID. “Mother” it says. He slips out of bed, swiping to answer.

“Hel-“

“John, why didn’t you call me last night? It was the date we decided for our yearly call.”

“I’m attending my university’s reunion, I was socializing mother. My phone was silenced. So I-“

“You’re in Jersey?”

“…yes?”

“Are you going to visit me then?”

“I don’t have enough space during holiday to visit you mother, I’m deeply-“

“Stop. You should have planned better John. I suppose these poor planning skills inhibit your ability to teach?”

“I’m not a poor teacher mother. I’m the department chair, I’m quite accomplished.”

He swears he can hear her scoff from the phone.

“I promise mother. If I had more time to spare I would’ve visited you and Uncle Oliver!”

“… uh huh.”

“…please mum, I didn’t mean to disappoint you.”

“You already did years ago.” She hangs up.
