Somewhere out there
Some where out there beneath the pale moon light someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight. Some where out there some ones saying a prayer that we'll find one another in that big some where out there. Even though I know how very far apart we are it helps to think we're wishing on the same bright star.
Back in LA Tomas was hiding in the garnet room above a store. He had been living there for three weeks. The store owner allowed him to stay on the condition that he would sweep the store and perform various odd jobs for him.
Tomas was very happy with his new life for the most part. Then one afternoon Jesse came into the store. She looked very tired and sad Tomas was sweeping up when she came in. Jesse didn't notice him as she walked over to the clerk and asked in a sad voice "excuse me sir. My name is Jesse I help out with the Naked Brothers Band."
The clerk said "listen lady I don't have time to deal with nut jobs like you."
Jesse placed her hands on her hips and said "you are going to listen to me buddy!"
The store clerk backed away and said in a mildly frightened voice "take it easy lady. What can I help you with?"
Jesse took a deep breath and said "the band was on tour here three weeks ago and one of the members quit and ran away."
The store clerk said "are you the kid's mother?"
Jesse blinked back tears of frustration and said "I'm not his mother I'm the band's tutor. Those kids were in my care and now one of them is lost. If anything happens to Tomas I'll never forgive myself."
The store clerk sighed and said "do you have a picture of the kid? If you do than I'll post it in the store window."
Jesse handed the clerk a picture of the band and pointed to Tomas. Tomas looked up from sweeping and said "sir do you mind if I take my break now?"
The clerk said "go ahead you worked very hard today why don't you take the rest of the night off."
Tomas went into the garnet and lied down on the make shift bed that he'd made for himself. He tried to go to sleep but he heard Jesse crying as she left the store. Tomas thought about something he hadn't thought about in the three weeks he'd been hiding. Tomas thought about the band and his family.
Meanwhile back in New York Alex was sitting with Nat trying to sleep. Nat said "Alex I know you're worried about Tomas. Jesse will find him but until then just don't lose hope okay."
Alex sniffed and said sadly "I miss him so much Nat. I hope that Jesse will find him soon."
Mr. Wolf came into the bedroom and said "it's time for bed boys."
Alex sighed and said "dad have you heard anything from Jesse? I hope Tomas is alright. I really miss him."
Mr. Wolf said "Alex even though Tomas isn't with you he makes wishes on the same bright stars. I want you to make a wish and then go to sleep."
Nat hugged his dad and then climbed into bed. Alex lied down and then said "dad if Jesse finds David do you think he'll join the band again?"
Mr. Wolf smiled at Alex and said "I don't know but you can't lose hope that he will come home. I love you both boys now get some sleep."
When the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there if love can see us through then we'll be together somewhere out there out where dreams come true.
Meanwhile back in LA Tomas had just woken up from a nightmare. The wind blew so loudly it seemed to moan and it shook the walls of the garnet. Tomas closed his eyes and wished that his mom was there to give him a hug and tell him it would be alright.
Tomas couldn't believe that the band had left without him. He hadn't really wanted to quit. He just felt that Nat cared more about Rosalina then he did about his friends. In order to make himself feel better he remembered that the same sky was seen in New York.
Tomas made a wish on the brightest star in the sky and fell asleep. He made up his mind that first thing in the morning he would join the band again. He pulled out his cell phone and called Jesse. Jesse answered her phone just before it cut to voicemail.
Jesse said "Tomas oh my god are you ok? I could kill you. You scared the living daylights out of everyone especially Alex and Nat. Where are you Tomas?"
Tomas said "I'm staying in a garnet above the corner store you went to yesterday. I'm scared Jesse. I want to come home and be in the band again. Do you think that Nat will let me?"
Jesse said "I'll be right there Tomas. I don't know if Nat will ever let you back into the band. Rosalina was pretty broken up when we could find you. However if love can see you guys through I think you guys have chance."
After Jesse picked Tomas up at the store she called Nat and let him know that Tomas was safe. When Nat got off the phone he woke Alex up and said "you got your wish Alex. Jesse found Tomas and he wants to come back to the band."
Alex said "Nat will you want Tomas to come back? I know he hurt Rosalina really bad when he ran away. I think that love deservers a second chance."
Nat said "you're right Alex but you need to get some sleep."
Alex said "I don't want to sleep until Tomas comes home. Do I really have to go back to sleep Nat?"
Nat yawned and said "yes you do Alex. We have school in the morning so close your eyes. I promise that Tomas and Jesse will both be here safe and sound before bedtime tomorrow."
