When I revealed Jessi's memories for her, she was unsatified with them. After learning she had run away, I've realized it was because of me. Because I couldn't help her understand those memories. Because I was too concerned with my relationship to stay with her when she needed me. I left her with too many questions and no answers, like the way I was left, and now she's gone.

She had said that something about her and her sister's life seemed wrong, and now she knew that it was wrong. I couldn't imagine how much pain she could be in right now. It hurt me, too, not knowing where she was, how she could be in danger at this very second.

I heard the commotion upstairs, without having to concentrate. "Josh, Dad is so cheating on Mom! Have you've seen the way he acts when Emily calls him? And he would believe her over me, his own daughter! Something is going on there!"

"Too much drama going on," Josh says, "I mean, Dad having an affair? Kyle cheating? Who would've thought?"

"Kyle couldn't have done that, maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"And remember who he was with..."

"Ugh! Don't remind me, I can't believe that bitch beat me up!"

"Where do you think "that bitch" went?"

"I don't know she's probably camping out in Kyle's room right now. They're probably finishing what they started..."

"Wait a minute... you just said he didn't do anything."

"Yeah, but seriously, who would believe that? And either way it hurt Amanda for them to be together!"

Right now my only problem isn't Jessi. I hurt Amanda, and Lori. It hurt me, too, my own family not believing me. If only I could explain to them... if only I could keep them safe.

I try to click the information around in my head: Emily and Stephen both work for MadaCorp, where they had files on me and 781228 - Jessi. I just happen to be living with Stephen, and Jessi just happened to live with Emily, and Emily and Stephen are now 'close friends'.

This is making the family agitated, and I think that is what Ballentine wanted. The clues Lori gathered towards an affair were all fake, designed by Ballentine himself. The more the Trager's are distracted, the more control MadaCorp has over us.
