Aj's mom stood in the kitchen looking at the phone on the kitchen counter and was trying to see if it would turn on. She almost didn't hear the front door open and shut. It was her husband, Jackson. came into the kitchen. She was glad to see him and put her arms around him lovingly.
"Hey Zoey.",he said calmly into her ear.
Zoey giggled as he continued to hold her in his arms. It made her lose focus of what she was trying to do. After Jackson slowly opened his arms and he looked around the house before turning back to Zoey.
"Where's AJ?",asked Jackson.
"I sent him to his room.",answered Zoey.
"Why did he get in trouble?",asked Jackson was confused.
"Well, it's a story.", calmly Zoey knew that AJ was too much of a good boy to get in trouble. "Then what is it?",asked Jackson.
Zoey let out a sigh
"First, Jackson, lets have a seat at the kitchen table.",pointed Zoey.
Jackson was silent for a little while before agreeing to sit with his wife. As the both of them sat down at the table, Zoey showed up in front of him with the old phone.
"Woah.. is that the phone that you used to call me on ask and make me kiss you?",asked Jackson. He recognized that pink case and diamonds. His wife nodded in response.
"I know and AJ found it.",said Zoey.
Jackson's eyes immediately opened wide as he looked over at the stairs nearby him and looked back at Zoey.
"So that's why you sent him to his room?", asked Jackson. Zoey nodded,
"But I wanted to see if it still...", started Zoey.
She finished her sentence.
Jackson ended their conversation with, "Does it still work?."
That left Zoey silent. She looked down at the cracked screen, not knowing what to do or see if the phone still works after all these years.
