Memories and Risks
Emma heard her little sister sniffling and saw tears going down her face. She went over to her sister's bed and held her in her arms asking her what was wrong. She replied with sobs in between every word " I miss Jessie" Emma sighed and said " " me to. But after summer is over we will go home and you will see her again. The girl replied " I can't wait that long" before Emma could say anything Ravi knocked on the door telling Emma he heard what they were saying while he was walking to his cabin. He admitted he knew where Gladys had the phones hidden so even though it was against the rules, for his sister's sake he would lead them to them.
The siblings quietly went into the storage shed and found their phones. Emma called Jessie and put her on speaker. Hope of hearing Jessie's beautiful voice was crushed when it went to voicemail. Before they could leave a voicemail Gladys found them and kicked them out. She decided the girls would be cabin grounded for a week. They would only come out for meals. She punished Ravi by taking away his calculus textbook.
The week slowed down and all Emma could hear at night was the sobs of her little sister. Zuri seemed to be the closest to Jessie; In fact she was the first of them who met her. Several times she went crazy and hollered out the window " JESSIE! WHERE ARE YOU" Ravi heard it and came by to help Emma comfort Zuri. They assured her they would see Jessie again. Now Ravi and Emma started to get tears so they hugged each other after Zuri was asleep. Before Ravi left he whispered, " That's it! As soon as the week is over, we have to contact Jessie" Ravi was not aware that Xander was behind the bush and heard everything. He knew how this mess could be fixed and was going to tell Ravi what to do.
