#15: Reaching Out
With panic clawing at him, Jamie grabbed his phone and called his old friend, Ben. He needed someone he trusted, someone who could steady him when his thoughts were spinning out of control. When Ben picked up, Jamie tried to sound calm, but the worry was clear in his voice.
Ben didn’t hesitate—he said he’d come right over. For the first time that day, Jamie felt a flicker of relief knowing he wouldn’t be alone. Still, the unanswered questions kept echoing in his head, refusing to let him rest.
