Eli and Jessie came down stairs laughing.
Rick looked up at them. "Glad to see that everything is all right."
Jessie looked at him with a smile. "It is." She said sitting down at the table again.
Eli did the same. Then he looked at Rick with a smile. "What would you think if Tad was your son?"
Rick looked at him as if he was crazy. "Why?"
"Well Jesse's thinking of replacing me with Tad." He said laughing.
"That's what you two were talking about?" Rick asked still a little confused.
"Exactly, so dad you didn't answer the question." Jessie said with a smile.
"I'd rather not think about. You two are enough for me to handle." He said laughing.
Grace and Zoe came down after hearing Eli and Jessie downstairs.
"So are we ready to go?" Zoe asked the three of them.
"Sure, let me get my keys." Eli said as he headed into his room.
"So what were you three laughing?" Grace asked as she sat down.
"We were…" Rick started to say.
But Jessie cut him off. "Nothing, you would want to know." She said getting up and going to get her books sack.
"What's her problem?" Zoe asked as she sat down.
"I don't know." Grace said annoyed.
"Bye Jessie." Eli said as she got out of the car. He turned to Grace. "I was wondering…."
"About you jacket?" She asked.
"Not really but now that you bring it up…."
She pulled it out of her books sack. "Here." She said handing it to him.
"No, keep it. I was going to tell you could have it. I have others." He said smiling.
"Ok then if you weren't wondering about your jacket then what were you wondering about?"
"You." He said with a smile.
"What about me?" She said curiously.
"I was wondering when you were going to answer one of my questions?"
She smiled. "You're picking me up right?"
He nodded.
"I'll answer one of them then but only because you gave me the jacket." She said opening the door with a smile.
As the door closed and she started to walk off, he said. "I knew that jacket would be useful."
As Grace entered school, she could feel someone's eyes on her. She turned around but no one was there. It could be anyone she thought, but she knew who it was. She knew that he was watching her. A few weeks ago, she could say he was the one reason she came to school but now she did not feel like she wanted to come to school. She went over to her locker and opened it. The bell rang. She had to go to class. She picked up her books and Eli's jacket and headed to English class. From the moment, she stepped though the door, she knew this was not going to be a normal day for her and she would regret coming to class.
Lily was putting the dishes in the sink when Eli came in. She went to say something to him but stopped. That feeling was there again and she did not know why.
Eli looked at her worried. "Lily, are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Did everyone get to school fine?" She asked worried.
"Yeah, I just dropped them off and then I'm heading to the store. You sure you're ok?" He asked concerned.
"I'll be fine. Eli, can get you me the phone? I need to call your father." She asked.
"Sure, no problem." He said he got her the phone.
She started to dial the number.
"Lily, I've got to go, but I'm worried you're not ok." He said.
"Eli, go I'm fine." She said.
"Ok." He said as he walked out the house.
Rick picked up. "Hello?"
"Rick, it happened again." She said worried.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"That feeling. Rick, I'm worried."
"Is everyone at school?"
"Yeah, Eli was just here."
"Ok, then just wait for them to get home. Nothing is going to happen. Ok?" He said trying to reassure her.
"Ok, I'll try. I have to go to the radio station but I should be home before they get back. I'm sorry to worry you."
"It's ok. Just promise me you're ok." He said.
"I'm fine and I'm going to go." She said hanging up the phone. She grabbed her keys and started to drive to the station but she could not the feeling out of mind.
