Chapter 2: The Answers

Kendall's POV:

Mom just nodded her head taking it all in.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait. You understood all that?" Jessie asked.

She was so cute when she was confused. Her light-brown hair hung just past her shoulders, straight…like her moms. There was a slight dent between her eyebrows because she didn't understand what was going on. I could see how frustrated she was in gray eyes. I loved how they had gold and navy blue flecks in the center of them. She stood upcrossing her arms over her chest.

"Well as you guys say nowadays, duh!" my mom said smiling, "The boys wanna go to Hollywood and be famous. Jessie-Lynn, I think you girls should come! It'd be an amazing opportunity for your mom. And LeAnn hun I think your dad would be ok with it, right?" We all stared at her in shock, "Does this mean yes?" I asked hopefully, "Yes."

Everyone seemed happy to be leaving except for Jessie-Lynn. She helped us pack and then I offered to come over and help her out with her packing. We both climbed into her 2011 mustang convertible and she drove us to her house. When we got there she told her mom and she flipped. She told us how she didn't even wanna pack because when she got there she'd get new stuff anyway so she went over to the Knights to help Mrs. K with her packing. Jessie and I went to her room and started packing everything up.

After about an hour of packing we were almost done. I noticed that she looked a little sad. I put the rest of the boxes in the moving van and sat down next to her on what was left on her bed.

"Jess what's wrong?" I asked putting my arm around her shoulder, "Nothing," she said shrugging it off lightly. She got up and started pacing around her old room. "Ok well do you really wanna know? Its girl stuff," she told me honestly, "YES!" "Well I guess that I've always had this feeling that maybe my dad would come back, ya know and come see me. And I'm afraid that if I go then I'll never be able to see him. I mean I grew up here Kendall; I've lived my whole life in Minnesota! I have friends here and people that care about me…family. I can't just throw all that away!" she said getting worked up, "Jessie-Lynn Taxlin. Your friends are going with you so you've got nothing to worry about. We are your family now," I told her smiling. She hugged me really tight and then we both went back to the car and headed back to my house.

Jessie-Lynn's POV:

I hugged him really tight and then we both went back to the car and headed back to his house. When we got there we both crashed on the floor.

"EVERYBODY UP! THE PLANE LEAVES IN 1 HOUR!" Mrs. K said yelling at everyone, "Hey momma?" I said trying to get my mom's attention, "Yeah baby?" she said tiredly, "Well you just bought me my new car and I was wondering if I could drive to California," I said hopefully. She nodded her head, "Get one of your friends to ride with you and you can. I do not want my baby-girl driving to Hollywood alone!" she said smiling. I jumped up and hugged her thanking her a thousand times.

I got dressed, putting on some dark gray yoga pants and a form fitting light yellow tee-shirt. I put my hair in a messy bun on top of my head and grabbed my purse.

"KATIE!" I yelled. She ran into the living room. "Yes?" she said, smiling innocently, "Gimme back my 30 bucks," I told her. She pouted and reached into her back pocket pulling out two fives and a twenty. I took the money and gave her a 5. She smiled and said thanks. I kissed her head and started searching for the guys. I found them in the kitchen eating what was left of the food.

"Hey I'm driving and LeAnn wants to fly so who wants to ride with me?" I asked hoping one of them would say they wanted to. All the sudden Logan started freaking out. "Me, I do, PLEASE TAKE ME!" he shouted in my face holding onto my pants. "You afraid of heights or somethin'?" I asked him confused, "Ya," he said ashamed. "Ok come on we're leavin'." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him outta the house.

We walked in silence to the car. We both climbed in and he grabbed his medical book out of his backpack.

"Hey Log (Not pronounced log pronounced low-ge. Like a nick-name!)?" "Yeah Jessie?" He said confused, "Well you know how I'm failing trig?" I asked embarrassed that I even had to have this conversation with my best-friend, "Yes." "Well I was wondering if maybe you could tutor me on the way to California… I mean we've got 2,003 miles to go and it'll be easy since it's just us two," I said quietly, "Well of course I will!" He said excitedly. For the entire time he tutored me on my least favorite subject and by the end of the drive my brain was fried.

We pulled into the palmwoods parking lot and walked into the lobby. We dropped our bags in the doorway, happy to be home.
