As I watch Rob leave I think about how strange it is my parents aren't home so I call my Dad, he answers and says that he and mom decided to go out to breakfast and would be back later.
Cool, house to myself I think im going to eat some cereal! Woo-hoo aren't I exciting? I hustle towards the kitchen and grab the shredded wheat, a bowl, a spoon, and milk. First I take a swig of milk straight from the container then pour myself some cereal and read the back of the box of cereal. Huh. There is a whole article about this 10 year old kid who is amazing at soccer and she's playing on a special league for champion kids and there is a picture of her with the words below stating "THERE GRRRREAT!" Wow kids are becoming more and more talented. I mean look at me. I finish spooning my cereal out of my bowl and into my mouth when hear the door open. Great mom and dad are home, time for our talk.
They come into the kitchen, Mom sits at the table while my Dad leans against the counter. "Jess" my mom starts not sounding to mad, which is a good sign I think. "Your Dad and I talked and we both agreed that even though it was dangerous, and stupid of you to leave like that , but it was brave to save those girls and that's why we have decided to only ground you for three weeks." My mom finishes with a satisfied smile. My jaw drops.
I'm getting grounded for saving peoples lives its not like I took off and stayed in a hotel with Rob for the fun of it no matter how much I want to. It's not like I wanted to get up in the middle of the night and get Rob and leave but I had to its what I have to do. "Honey" my Dad says but I'm too mad that I'm past the whole screaming I'm numb and tired. "Dad its whatever I'm going back to bed" I stand up head up the stairs to my room where I do go back to bed. I fall asleep thinking about how I wish Rob and I could go on a trip that didn't revolve around kidnapping and missing people.
I'm thrown awake by the sound of rocks on my window. I completely forgot about Rob coming. I'm breathing heavy and crying. I open the window then run outside into Robs arms and bury my face into his shirt trying to breathe. But Robs pushes me away so he can look at me. "Jess. Jess! What happened?" I breathed and think of why im crying. "They have her" I whisper. "Who Jess" I stay silent remembering the pain I felt in the dream. "Jess answer me" "Jo. Jo Winters. She was on my cereal box" I say as I begin to shake.
They have her and they are hurting her. Rob sighs, and says where is she and I look at him with big eyes. "Florida. For a soccer team thing" Rob holds me and says "We cant drive to Florida we are going to have to fly, lets head to my house and we will book tickets for the next flight" I look at Rob wondering how he's dealing so well. "But Jess what happened in the dream that shocked you so bad?" He asked gently. "Pain" I whisper. "She's in so much pain".
