A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to Mrs. Nikki Slater for being the first to review last chapter. I would also lke to give special thanks to cassie89, Living2Love, Mrs. Nikki Slater, and PrudencePiperHalliwell for reviewing to every chapter.
Mrs. Nikki Slater: Thanks so much for the review.
Frolicking Bananas: Well, if you think about it: copying all of it from the book took a lot of time and even though my written part wasn't all that long, all together it was. And I can't write very long chapters, I end up getting way too bored.
Living2Love: Well, I updated, so you can scream with joy. And you're not stalking me until you're calling me/emailing me/ Iming me every day asking when I'll update. That's stalking.
PrudencePiperHalliwell: Thanks for the review Nik.
cassie89: Thanks so much for the review.
maliaphire: You don't know who the kid is? I tried to make it really easy. Oh well, you'll get it this chapter.
molz: Sorry it's taken me so long!
Pamella: I won't say, you have to read.
Uh.yeah: I don't even know if I'll make the dream a reality yet, so you'll have to wait and see.
Lauran: I know the feeling, you know, of having to read an entire story over again cause you forget what happened. I hate it. But unfortunately, I don't have many opportunities to sit and write.
that-girl-who-likes-dolphins: No way am I fighting to be the leader of the squirrels, I am Numero Uno and that's that.
BlUeEyEdGoDdEsS2192: Well, I wouldn't want you to go insane now would I?
mary: Lol. Thanks for reviewing.
Mediatorgrrl: Lol. Thanks so much for both the reviews. I appreciate them.
sing-to-the-stars: You'll find out when you read, I'm not going to ruin the surprise.
bla: Thanks for the review, but you shouldn't say who doesn't know who it is, cause there are people who don't.
liz: Thanks so much for the review.
Alexalily: I don't care if the reviews are late, I just love getting them. I wouldn't even care if you reviewed to every chapter to have your name in the opening.
Remember Me?
Stuck To Glue Paper"Wait…What?"
I know the kid, Jess." He said quietly. I think he was more shocked at the sight of my corpse than the kid.
"Who is he?" I had to help him. I couldn't let him get hurt, I couldn't let his mother die.
He sighed and looked away from me, "Jess, I saw you practically die once, I'm not about to do it again." He turned back to me and put his hands on both sides of my face so he could look into my eyes and he said strongly, "I love you too much to let what I just saw happen. I can't let it. So forgive me, I would rather you not know."
"But, you can't do that! His kid's mother is going to die! Do you want that? This kid could die! Are you telling me that you would let them die so I could stay alive?" I was livid. I was ready to rip his head off and throw it in a fire. I wanted to hurt him so badly…but he was in so much pain. He had witnessed my almost death and could do absolutely nothing about it once already and now the dream…I could understand his worry.
"Baby, I'm sorry."
My dad sat down on the bed just in front of me and held my hands in his. I could feel the veins sticking out of them. I had never noticed before now that he was getting older. He had always been my dad. The invincible one. Only now, he wasn't so invincible, time was catching up. "Jess, honey, you can't save every kid in the world. You can only save the ones that won't be hurting you in the process."
I squeezed his fingers softly and said, "I don't believe that. I might not remember much about what happened to me in the past year, but I do have the same morals. And right now, those morals are telling me that I have to go and help this kid."
I looked at every face in the room. My brothers were fidgety, my mom was looking nervous, my dad was in thought, and Rob looked like he was in pain. He kneeled down in front of me and said, "Jess, is there any way that I can stop you from going?"
I shook my head, "This kid is calling for me. He needs my help. I'm sorry, but I need to go, even if I get hurt in the process."
Douglas spoke up in the back and said, "Even if you die?"
Everyone was silent. I just looked out the window. I don't even know how I feel about it. I mean, was my dream a premonition of the future or was it something that was scaring me into not going? I don't even know. But what if I did die? That's always something to think about. I thought about it for a while before I muttered, "I think I'll take my chances. Rob, tell me what you know, now!"
He ruffled his hair and muttered under his breath before he said, "The kid's name is Sean Patrick O'Hanahan. His mom had "kidnapped" him from his abusive father when he was about six. When you got your powers last year, he was one of the first ones you saw on the back of the milk carton. He had been living with his mom over in Paoli, one day, you had me take you over there. You called the number for missing kids and reported him missing, he went back to his father and his mother went to jail. Then you found out what you did and decided to fix it. You ran away from a military base to find him, then you were both dragged back there until me and some of my friends busted you out. A few days later, you made a deal with the FBI to let him and his mother leave for the locations of some of America's Most Wanted. So, you gave them ten grand, and they left."
"Where did they go?"
He had a resigned look on his face, "Los Angeles, California."
"Thank you. Now, can you tell me how we're getting there?"
"I'm sorry, Mastriani, but you told me to tell you about the kid, not give you a solution to the problem."
I looked around the room for my phone. I didn't see it anywhere. Damn. Of course, Rob just had to be a smart guy and hold it right in front of my face when he noticed I was looking for it, I said sarcastically, "Thanks."
He smiled in his half amused half disgusted way and said, "No problem."
I looked in the address book for that FBI agent, it didn't take me very long. Like I would have a lot of numbers on my phone. Anyway, I called the number under the name "Jill Smith." I think I woke her up though, she sounded really grouchy. "Smith speaking."
"Hi? Jill? It's Jess, Jess Mastriani."
"Jess, why are you calling me at three in the morning?"
"Actually, I have a little problem. Well, a big problem."
"What is it?"
"I need to get to Los Angeles to help out this kid."
"Okay…?"
"…So, I was thinking…could you by any chance book a flight for me to get over there?"
She sighed, "Sure, but Allen and I are coming with you."
"No problem and thank you."
"Yeah, yeah."
Rob took the phone out of my hand and said, "Special Agent Smith, I'm going to go too." I was shocked. He was really going to go with me? Wow.
He hung up and said, "Our flight is tomorrow at nine."
"Why are you coming with me?"
"I almost lost you once, Mastriani, I'm not about to lose you again." He smiled one of those smiles that makes my heart beat ten times faster than normal. A date with Todd Mintz, star of the football team over gorgeous, sexy, my fiancé Rob? In his dreams.
A.N.: Okay, so this chapter is short, I know it, but I like it. So you guys can be happy I updated at all and review, okay?
