It was early in the morning at the SRU. Jessica was not there on a count of being part of her graduation committee of her class after school. It was the best thing because the team was having their team physic evaluation test today. The person doing it was Larry Toth and he has been known to break up teams. So the plan was having Donna run the drill team and Toth does the tests on the team. While Jules and Sam were taking a break from their drill Sam needed to talk to Jules about Jessica. The both of them sat down on a bench waiting for one of them to be called.
"So how has Jessica been doing at your place?" Jules asked
"Oh I don't know. Why don't you ask her yourself?" Sam said
"I try talking to her but she keeps blowing me off!"
"Well maybe it's because you shipped her off to me when you could have thought of a better way to handle the problem."
"The problem couldn't be fix so I didn't have any other choice."
"Oh no you had a choice and you sent her to me. Now she's having nightmares every night and I don't know what I can do for her anymore."
"It was the best thing for her so I could keep her safe!"
"What do you mean?"
Then after hearing that Spike, Wordy, Ed, and Donna came up to them and wanted to know more.
"Yeah is she in danger or something?" Spike asked
"What's going on?" Ed asked
Jules knew she had to tell the truth about the situation. Whether Jessica like it or not everyone had to know.
"Jessica found out who her real father is." Jules said
"That's great!" Wordy said
"No not great because in the process her and some of my classmates are in danger as well. When I got pregnant with Jessica I had no idea who her father was and that was because he and I were both drugged and it lead to what we did. However a few of my classmates knew who he was but they couldn't tell me because another person found out who he was and paid them to keep their silence."
All of them were in a complete shock. After all the pain Jules has ever been in this was the worst for her. They knew that if Jules lost her daughter as a mother she would never forgive herself.
"Yeah and two of them were Steve and my best friend Amanda. Jessica went over to Amanda's house and Amanda told her the whole story about that night. Amanda didn't know who he was but it didn't matter because when I called her to talked to her she left the country. The person who paid her off must have found out Jessica was at her house because she told me someone destroyed her reputation as a designer and left for BC. I don't know what happen to Steve though. I haven't talked to him since we broke up."
"Jules why didn't you say anything to us?" Ed asked
"Yeah we could have tracked down whoever was going after Jess and everyone else." Donna said
"I thought I could handle it on my own." Jules said
"Yeah you handled it well by having her shipped off to me." Sam said
"What?" everyone yelled
"I did that because she wouldn't tell me either. She told me that if keeping her father's identity a secret is going to keep everyone then so be it. She even told me if it meant her having to die she didn't care."
"Wait a minute she didn't tell me that part. She actually said that?" Sam asked
"Yup so I don't know what else to do."
Sam thought about this for so long. He couldn't believe that his own daughter said she would die to keep their secret hidden. It was time to tell Jules to truth even if it meant losing whatever relationship he has with her.
"Look Jules there's something I have to tell you." Sam said
Jules looked Sam in the eyes
"What is it?" Jules asked
Sam was so close to telling the truth when Donna's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Alright I'll send her up. Jules you're up. Physic evaluation." Donna said
"Okay you can tell me later." Jules said
"Alright." Sam said
Jules then went back into the building to do her physic evaluation. She really wanted to know what Sam wanted to say. After the tests she'll meet up with Sam and they can talk later.
~Flashpoint~
The physic evaluation did not go so well. Larry Toth was fooling with both Sam and Jules to see whether or not they both had feelings towards one another. Even though they both said they didn't the polygraph test proved there was some feelings for each other. Sam waited outside the room for Jules to come out of testing. When she got out she saw Sam and went towards him.
"How'd it go?" Sam asked
"Not good." Jules said
"Me either."
"He gave me a hard time because of you."
"Yeah"
"They have us under a microscope. Just in case we treat each other any different."
Sam then got pissed and leaned against the wall and Jules did the same
"What's it going to take? A chaperone?" Sam asked
"That's the thing Sam it's not going to go away." Jules said
Sam and Jules knew that was right. There were still some feelings left towards each other and they had to deal with it. Maybe taking care of Jessica might have brought them even closer together and didn't even know it. Jules then looked at Sam and wanted to ask him the question from before.
"Sam what was the thing you wanted to say before?" Jules asked
Sam then looked at Jules with a gentle look on his face
"I also know who Jessica's father is too." Sam said
Jules then looked at Sam in shock
"What do you mean?" Jules asked
"Jessica told me who her father was and I kept it a secret too." Sam said
"Why wouldn't you tell me this?"
"Because if I told you who her father was you would lose it."
Jules then grabbed Sam's hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes
"Just please tell me who he is. I just want to keep my daughter safe. So I need to know who he is and why this mystery man wants to destroy other people lives so the father doesn't know. Just please tell me." Jules cried
Sam felt so sorry for her. He hated to see her cry so much but it was for their daughter so it was a good reason. Then in a moment Sam was going to tell the truth when Greg and Larry came from behind with some other officers.
"What's going on?" Sam asked
"I'm having some officers go and pick up Jessica for the physic evaluation." Larry said
"No she doesn't have to be part of this and besides she has a committee meeting after school." Jules said
"Doesn't matter I want her here now!"
"Why?"
"Some of the tough calls we have been getting has mostly been from her." Greg said
"You can't be serious!" Sam yelled
"We're dead serious. Officers go to Jessica Callaghan school and pick her up." Larry ordered
The officers were about to leave when Sam got in their way from going to the garage
"No way. I'm letting you do this her." Sam said
"Yes you will. Unless you want to be broken off from the team?" Larry said
Sam then looked at Jules and she gave him the 'don't make this worse' face. Even though Jules hated they were going to get Jessica she didn't want Sam to get in trouble. The officers left and went to go get Jessica from her school.
~Flashpoint~
Jessica was in meeting with the graduation committee trying to figure out where to have the graduation at and how to tribute her work to the police force in the ceremony.
"Guys I really don't to be notice for my part in the SRU. All I care about is where and when we can have the ceremony and right now all I'm getting is that we might have to have it outside on the football field if we can't think of anything else." Jessica said
"Jessica you would be the first student in this school to be remember fighting with the SRU while doing school. It would show your dedication and your hard work towards both things." Marissa
"Marissa it's not a big deal. It was only going be a job until I graduated."
"Yeah you've gotten so good at it and because of it you've gotten acceptance letters from some of the best art schools around here and in the USA." Brain said
"I know that but-"
"But nothing. We are going to honor for your hard work and that's how it's going to be." Kate said
"Okay. Can we get back to where we can have the ceremony?"
The meeting was interrupted when two cops came in. Jessica got up from her seat and approached the two of them. Some of the other students got up from their seat and stood behind her.
"Jessica Callaghan?" one of the officers asked
"Yeah that's me." Jessica said
"We need you to stop what you're doing and come with us." the second officer said
"Wait a minute. We're in the middle of a meeting for graduation." Marissa said
"Yeah and I'm not going anywhere without a good reason."
"Larry Toth recommends your presents for a physic evaluation test."
"You mean the guy who breaks up teams? Someone actually brought in that guy to do the physic tests. Good thing I was here all day."
"Yeah not anymore. He thinks some of the fault lines from the team has been from you."
"What do you mean? Jessica's a nice person and would never make any fault lines towards anyone." Joey said
"Doesn't matter. You have to come with us now."
One of the officers went to get Jessica when one of the students went up and stood in between them.
"Step back!" Amy yelled
"Young lady even though you're a minor I can take you into custody for obstruction."
"Be my guest but-"
"Alright I'll go!" Jessica yelled
"Jessica!" David said
"Look guys I have to go. They mean a lot of business. Get a hold of Jayden and have him meet me at the SRU."
"Okay." Marissa said
With that Jessica went with the two officers and were on their way towards the SRU. Her friends didn't like this one bit.
"I can't believe they just did that!" Kate said
"I know but what can we do about it?" Amy asked
"I'm going after them. I'll call Jayden and me up with him." Marissa said
"We're coming with you too." Joey said
All of them left the class room and waited till the cop car was gone. Then they took one of the students van and drove off after them.
~Flashpoint~
Jessica then entered the SRU along with the other officers. She saw everyone was present in the hallway except for Ed who left for the hospital to be with his wife who's having the baby. Jessica walked up to everyone in anger.
"I don't know what's going on but two cops dragged me out of my meeting and now I'm pissed off." Jessica yelled
"I know. We should have called you but we were being drilled." Jules said
Then Larry Toth came out of the briefing room with Greg and saw that Jessica has arrived
"Ah Jessica Callaghan you've arrived." Larry said
Jessica walked over to Larry and Greg
"Do we really have to do this?" Jessica asked
"Yes otherwise I wouldn't have gotten those officers to take you from school." Larry said
"Oh yeah thanks for that by the way. Let's do this."
Jessica went into the briefing room with Larry and Greg and shut the door behind them. Jules and Sam did not like this one bit so they had a plan.
"Spike go get the open mic." Jules said
"What?" Spike asked
"Go get it." Sam said
"We can't do that." Wordy said
"I don't care. I need to know why they are doing this to her." Jules said
"Fine. I'll go get it." Spike said
Spike went to go get the open mic while from out of nowhere Jessica's friends and Jayden came into the hallway.
"What the hell is going on? I hear my girlfriend is yanked out of her committee and brought here for some kind of test by force." Jayden yelled
"I know how you feel Jayden. We're pissed off to by this but Toth thinks she's caused most of the fault lines in this group." Jules said
"Jessica's a nice girl and friend and she would never do that. I almost got arrested for her." Amy said
"I can't believe this is happening!" Marissa said
Spike came back with the open mic and some head sets so everyone can hear the conversation. He gave them to everyone on the team but the kids wanted some too.
"Spike give us some head sets too." Jayden said
"No way this is for the team only. She's our teammate." Spike said
"Yeah and she's our best friend." Marissa said
"She's also my girlfriend."
Spike looked at the kids for a minute and knew they were right. Jessica was like a family to the kids too. So he gave them some head sets, he got the mic ready, and they began listening to the conversation.
~Flashpoint~
Jessica was hooked up to the polygraph scale and was so nervous because she has never done something like this before. Greg looked at her and made her calm down and not to panic.
"I need to make a base line for you. Tell me three truths and a lie in that order." Larry said
"My name is Jessica Callaghan. I'm 18 years old. I'm studying to be a photographer. I also love football." Jessica said
The polygraph said that the football Jessica said was a lie
"Good. I'm going to give you some word associations. The first thing that comes to your mind. No thinking. Also I'm going to throw some questions at you and again no thinking." Larry said
"Okay I get it." Jessica said
"Night"
"Day"
"Heart"
"Soul"
"Love"
"Jayden"
From the other side of the door Jayden smiled at that comment. Jessica really did love him and everyone could see that.
"Memories"
"Timeless"
"SRU"
"Job"
"Robot"
"Babycakes"
"That's right! Babycakes is the best!" Spike whispered on the other side
"Team"
"Family"
The team smiled at that comment. Jessica was truly like a family to everyone.
"Mother"
"Jules"
"Father"
Jessica then tensed up a bit and that showed some stress on the polygraph scale. Greg and Larry notice that.
"Father"
"None"
Sam then tensed up behind the door. On the other side Larry made a mark on the test where Jessica said 'none'. Moving on Larry started to ask some questions to Jessica.
"What was it like being part of the SRU?" Larry asked
"Well it's the best job. I get to catch bad guys and get media evidence so it's rock solid to the case." Jessica said
"I see that the job was only going to last until she graduated high school."
"That's right." Greg said
"Yeah I knew I wasn't going to be doing police work forever so I asked to do this job for one or two years."
"What makes a seventeen year old girl well I should say eighteen old year old now but what makes you want to do a dangerous job like this?"
Jessica tensed up for a moment which showed on the polygraph but she answered quickly
"So maybe it would be good on my resume for college." Jessica said
"You sure it didn't have anything to with finding your mother in the process?" Larry asked
Jules on the other side put her hand in a fist wanting to hit Toth. I bet there were others in the group were wanting to do the same thing. Jessica on the other side knew she couldn't hide that answer.
"Yeah at first it was to find my mother but then I loved doing the work her and I felt like being part of the team." Jessica said
"How did the team response to you being Jules' daughter?" Larry asked
"Everyone was shocked at first but then they accepted me as part of their team but they also accepted me like I was their family. I never had a family till I came here."
"Is this a family or a SWAT team?"
"I would say it's both because we count on each other for anything in both the work place and outside of it."
From outside everyone was smiling at Jessica's comment. They were like a family and they will always will be no matter what.
"How were you able to make time for both school and work?" Larry asked
"It was easy. I would come in on some days that I'm in for the SRU after school. When I'm not in work I go to school and I do my work and sometimes do my homework in my free period classes. I'm also part of the photography group there and this year I'm part graduation committee for my class." Jessica said
"Must be hard to keep everything organized with everything your going through."
"Yeah it's hard but I can handle it."
"Back to the team. What's like hanging out with them outside of work?"
"It's great. Wordy let's me come over sometimes and let's me see his daughters for a girl's night out. Spike let's me go out with him on Friday nights and do fun stuff. We also fix everything from babycakes to my camera gear. Greg teaches me everything about the SRU while I'm here. Sam is like the best. We go out on hockey nights and watch them play. He's a big fan of hockey and so am I."
"What kind of relationship do you and Sam have?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Well it seems like from the other teammates that besides your mother that Sam has been really close to you since you arrived at the SRU."
On the other side Jules looked at Sam in confusion. Yeah he was protective of her daughter but she wondered what Toth meant by it.
"He's always been protective me and so has everyone else. It's not a big deal."
Larry looked at the polygraph and notice that her stress level was off the chart in some way.
"It must have been some big deal because from what I've heard your mother and Sam were involved." Larry said
"Wait a minute! My personal on my team are top secret!" Greg yelled
"No there not because their not patients. Did you know about their involvement?"
Jessica looked down and then back up in guilty
"Yeah I did but I didn't think it was a big deal. They were in love with each other and I was happy for my mom. What was wrong with that?" Jessica said
"Well there's a rule where it states that no couple can be place on the team because it can put their teammates in danger." Larry said
"They didn't put anyone in danger though."
"Really?"
Larry then brought out a transcript and opened it.
"Critical Incident #1113- Sniper Call, multiple shots across the city. The two of them have been working together when it happened and your mom got shot in the process." Larry said
"Yes but she was shot by a sniper and that would have happened whether Sam was there or not." Jessica said
"You must have been in some shock seeing your mom shot. How did Sam react to that?"
"He was worse than me. We both were."
"When Sam found out you were Jules' daughter at the hospital how did he take that?"
"He was shocked at first but he got over it so quick than everyone else did. He took care of me while mom was in the hospital but then mom got out and was going to back to the SRU she had to end her relationship with Sam."
"Did that upset you in anyway?"
"Yeah I didn't speak to my mom for two weeks. I had to get over it though because it was the rules an the rules are the rules."
"After your mom and Sam broke up how much involvement did Sam have with your life?"
"Look I don't know what you want me to say about Sam but please say what you want to say Toth."
Larry then brought out a document which gave Jessica a terror look on her face. It was the paternity test. Greg was wondering what was Jessica doing taking a test like that.
"Where did you get that?" Jessica asked
On the other side of the door everyone got tensed up knowing Jessica was not happy about what she was seeing in front of her.
"I have my sources. Hearing all these stories from Greg I had to figure out what was going on with the team including you." Larry said
"What a minute. Boss you were the one who called Toth in for the physic eval? Please tell me it's not true."
Greg looked at her in guilty while he saw tears coming from her eyes. On the other side of the door everyone heard what they didn't want to hear.
"The boss called in this Larry guy?" Marissa whispered
"I guess so." Sam said
"He must have been doing what he thinks is best for the team." Jules said
On the other side Greg had the courage to face Jessica
"Jessica I didn't trust myself as a teammate or a friend. It was for the sake of the team." Greg said
"So you had to betray everyone?" Jessica yelled
"Jessica lower your voice and sit down!" Larry yelled
Jessica sat back down and looked back at Larry Toth
"Now what I want to know is what were you doing with a paternity test?" Larry asked
Jules then had that shock look on her face. What was Jessica doing with a paternity test? How could she test for her father without meeting him?
"I can't tell you." Jessica said
"Jessica you have to answer the question!" Larry said
"The only thing I can tell you is that I was trying to find out what happen to my mom eighteen years ago."
"So it lead you to taking this test?"
"Yes"
"We need to know who he is."
"No you can't know!"
"What do you mean?"
"No one is suppose to know or some other people's lives with be destroyed including mine."
On the other side of the door all her classmates and Jayden were in a complete shock. Jayden never found out about the 'life in danger' part from her. This made him upset.
"Look I can't tell you anymore. It's too dangerous" Jessica said
"Well if it's that important to save other people's lives then we need to know who your father is." Larry said
Then Larry began opening the document. This made Jessica so stressed out she jumped out of her seat to get it.
"Parker please keep her down!" Larry ordered
Greg grabbed Jessica before she could get the document
"Jessica please calm down" Greg said
"You can't know who he is!" Jessica yelled
Larry opened the document and read what it said
Comb and Saliva- 95% DNA match
15, 16
16, 16
-Biological Match
DNA match conform Sam Braddock is Jessica Callaghan biological father
Larry looked at Jessica in shock
"Your biological father is Sam Braddock." Larry said
On the other side of the door Jules heard what Larry said and dropped her headset in shock. She looked at Sam in shock and got up pacing back and forth. Sam got up and looked at Jules had tears in her eyes.
"Jules I'm so sorry." Sam said
"So it's true then? Your her father?" Jules asked
"Yeah I am."
"This can't be possible."
"But it is. That's our daughter in there. I wanted to tell you so badly but she didn't want you to know. She wanted to keep everyone safe including you. I don't care what you think of us anymore but you now know the truth."
Jules looked at Sam for so long. Learning that Sam was Jessica's father made her heart stop. How was she suppose to look at him now a days? They now have a common bond and that's Jessica
"Right now I don't know what to think of us anymore but all I want to know is who would not want you to know Jessica was yours?" Jules asked
"You can think about that later. You guys may want to listen to this conversation." Spike said
Jules and Sam went back towards the group to listen on the mic
"Jessica is that true?" Greg asked
Jessica nodded while sitting back down crying
"Is that why you jammed the TV system?" Larry asked
Jessica looked up at Toth and Greg
"I thought you guys said you couldn't figure it out." Jessica said
"Yeah we figured it out but we thought you were playing a joke on us so we let it slide." Greg said
"When did Sam figure out he was your father?" Larry asked
"While I was in Boston he found it in my locker and read the results when no one was around. When I got back we promised we won't say anything to my mom." Jessica said
"After the discovery it would explain all the protection you've been getting from Sam while working. Like the day you came back you get slashed in the arm and his attitude towards the subject who attacked you. You know all I've been hearing from you is secret by secret and that's not good for a team. Also having both Sam and Jules almost breaking the life code measure for you on some cases. I knew their were some fault lines coming from somewhere and that was you."
"You what your right. I admit it. I'm a fault line to this group. I'm not proud of it but it's true. But you've got to understand what I've gone through to get this far in my life to get me towards here. My mom gave me up eighteen years ago for my own good not knowing who my father is. I had no one who could adopt me so I had to live with a foster family till I was seventeen years old. I was not like everyone else. I only focused on my school and I didn't have time to have fun or make friends when I was a kid. Before I was popular I was bullied all day and I had to deal with. Then when one of the bully's wanted to commit suicide one day I had to save her from doing that kind of act. After we became friends and her name is Marissa."
Marrisa smiled from outside knowing that her friend really cared about her even though she put her through so much pain as a kid
"Later I became popular at fifteen after that event. People liked me for saving her no matter what she did to me. I became the first freshmen ever to become leader of the photography club. Later on in ninth grade I met my boyfriend his name is Jayden. The first time I met him I thought he was like one of those boys who liked at the girls but he was different. He was responsible and funny. Our first date was to a Backstreet Boys concert and that was the night I got my first kiss from him. He stood by me through all of this even though my job put myself in danger. He loves me and I love him. One day in the future I may want to marry him."
Jayden felt the same way from the other side of the door. He hoped one day he could marry her too. He looked at Sam and Jules who looked happy about that response and they gave him a thumbs up as their approval in the future.
"Then my life change when I became seventeen years old. I go through my birth records and find out my mom is one of the SRU members and I've been watching her this whole time when I turned on the news. So I made a connection to a friend of mine to help me get an intership here to meet my mom. Later on she figured out I was her daughter and it was the best day of my life. She adopted me back and we became partners at the SRU."
Jules then cried in happiness hearing her daughter say finding her was one of the best days of her life. Sam reached out and held her hand through this.
"Everyone didn't know about my relationship with her until she got shot. When I thought I was in trouble that day the team accepted me all the more. They were like my family. We were all happy but right now no one in my family is happy. It's because my parents can't be together and that the other members are going through their own problems. Yeah I know more about my family than anyone in this room. I hate that Spike is feeling rejected by his father for doing his job. I hate that Wordy can't be with his kids and wife only at night time or on day offs. I hate that Greg can't have relationship with his son. I hate that Ed had to choose between the team and his family. I hate that Lew had to die when he was saving lives."
Everyone was in shock by what Jessica was saying. She was really bringing out her emotions during this conversation.
"I've gone through a lot in my teenage years. Maybe I've been through things that I should not have growing up but I did anyway. Like for one seeing my mother getting shot, me getting kidnapped in a hotel, getting slashed in the arm on the job, or seeing my best friend die in front of me. There's a bonus to that. When my friend died right in front of me I went through a lot of grief. So much that I took advantage of my boyfriend by doing things teenagers should never do. I still feel bad till this day for what I did to him."
Kate looked at Jayden from behind the door in shock
"Is she talking about having sex with you?" Kate asked
"Be quiet Kate!" Jayden said
Kate stayed quiet and listened more on what Jessica was saying
"Now I'm going through my worst fears ever. Not only did I find out who my father was but I'm putting so many people's lives at risk by learning who he was. Classmates from eighteen years ago were paid to keep their silence and not to tell anyone even the father what happen that night. Then I went over to Amanda's house and ruined her reputation as a designer and she went off to BC. I have been through so much in my life. I'm a teenage girl with a popular reputation at school, who has a career, and will be off to college soon. I'm overwhelmed. Now I have a target on my back everywhere I go and you have no idea what that's like. Not knowing if you're going to die today or tomorrow or not at all. But if it means keeping my family and friends safe then so be it. I'm not afraid to die for them."
"Okay that's it get this door open." Jules said
Out of nowhere Larry, Greg, and Jessica could hear banging on the door behind them and random screaming. Greg got up and opened the door to seeing everyone from Jessica's classmates to his team listening to their conversation.
"What the hell is going on?" Larry yelled
Jessica got up from her seat and saw her classmates were there
"What are you guys doing here?" Jessica said
"Well you had Marissa call me-" Jayden started
"I get that part. Why are the rest of you here?"
"It was Marrisa's idea." David said
"Thanks David." Marrisa said
Jessica then removed all the wires attached to her and started to walk towards the exit and motioned her friend and Jayden to follow her
"Guys come on. Let's go." Jessica said
'Hold on we're not done here Jessica." Larry yelled
Jessica then turned around and put her badge on the reception desk
"I'm so done here." Jessica said
"Jessica come back." Sam and Jules yelled
Jessica ignored them and everybody watched her and her classmates leave the SRU for good. This was not any easy process. Greg then walked back in ager to the briefing room with Larry and shut the door behind them.
"I can't believe this is happening." Jules said
"Neither can I." Sam said
"Our team is almost being broken apart and Jessica quits before it happens." Wordy said
"This not an easy process." Donna said
"You could say that again." Spike said
"What are we suppose to do now?" Wordy asked
The captain walked in and told them to go home and will let them know if they passed or not. Jules and Sam looked each other for a moment after everything that happened today and walked away from each other. No one thought that this would ever happen but it did.
~Flashpoint~
In the school parking lot was Jessica, Jayden, and her friends gathered around each other. Everyone was dead silent about what happen today in the SRU. There was no happy vibe in this group at all.
"I can't believe that guy had the nerve to say bad things about you." Marrisa said
"Well most of it was true anyway." Jessica said
"Yeah we heard the whole thing." Jayden said
Jessica looked at Jayden at shock
"You guys heard the whole thing? That would mean mom and Sam-" Jessica asked
"Yeah Jules knows the truth." Amy said
"Great. Not how I wanted to spend my day today. Having my ass drag out to SRU, everyone listening to my test, and my mom finding the truth about Sam. This can't be happening. I can't believe I quit the team and the team could be broken up."
"Yeah we can't believe your life is in danger too. When were you going to tell us that?" Kate said
Jessica got up walked around in place. Jayden got up to and approached her.
"I didn't want to worry anyone." Jessica said
"Too late for that." Brain said
"Look I didn't want anyone I cared about in danger. I made the stupid mistake by finding out Sam was my dad and now my mom's classmates and I are all in danger. I did not want to any of you guys on the list. All I want to do is graduate high school and go somewhere far away so no one I love is hurt." Jessica said
"What about me? Are you going to leave me behind?" Jayden asked
"I would never do!"
"Well what if I came with you after all this. You are all that matters to me. I heard you in the room that you said you wanted to marry me."
"Yeah I said that."
"Well then marry me."
Jessica looked at him in stun disbelief. Did he really say he wanted her to marry him? This made everyone jump to there feet.
"What?" everyone asked
"Yeah what?" Jessica asked
"I mean it. I love you more than anything. We don't have to get married now but maybe we could after we did some years in college. But what I do know is that I want you more in my life." Jayden said
"If you say 'yes' Jessica I called dibs on maid of honor!" Marissa said
Jessica laughed and held Jayden's hand crying
"So what do you say?" Jayden asked
Jessica's classmates and Jayden were waiting for her to make her decision. Before Jessica could answer lights were blaring in the kids eyes. They looked ahead to see a car with someone inside it. When the lights disappeared the car went straight at them and Jessica could see the guys was holding a gun from outside the window.
"Everyone get down!" Jessica yelled
The guy fired off some rounds when the kids took cover. The car went off in a different direction at high speeds.
"You should have left it alone!" the guy yelled
When the car disappeared they waited till it wouldn't come back. After a few minutes Jayden was the first to get up.
"Is everyone okay?" Jayden asked
All the kids were present and unharmed. When looking down on the ground they saw Jessica had been shot in the shoulder unconscious. Everyone rushed towards her and saw she lost a lot of blood.
"Jessica!" everyone yelled
"Amy call 911!" David yelled
"Already on it." Amy said
"Someone has to call her parents. Where's her cell?" Joey asked
"I got and I'm on it." Brain said
"Jessica can open your eyes? Oh my god just hold on help is on the way." Marissa said
"Don't you dare die on us!" Jayden cried
But no matter what they were saying Jessica could not hear them. She could not hear the screaming and panics from her friends. No one knew that someone to go this far to shoot their best friend. Somewhere out there her parents were unaware of the fact their daughter was shot or did anyone else on her team. However when they find out it will take them down a road they will never soon forget.
