In this chapter- Report Cards!!! Who's the smartest cliffhanger? Jordan reads a bit of his file and reflects on the memories it brings up. Solo hiking preparation starts
NOTE- There is a bit of a violent flashback here. Sorry bout that.
Jordan walked into the dorm. The guys all had their eyes on him.
"What did they want to ask you about?" Ezra asked.
"Last night, they wanted to talk to me about it." Jordan said nonchalantly.
"You mean you were the one that did it?" Scott asked shocked.
Jordan nodded his head.
"Why?"
"I wanted the letter from my parents." Jordan said.
Scott laughed sarcastically. "Yeah sure. Last time you saw that letter you looked ready to kill. What so drastically changed your mind."
"Yeah. Really. Don't lie to us. You can lie to them all you want but lying to us is like a crime." Ezra said.
Jordan plopped on his bed. He didn't want to talk anymore and he didn't. No matter what any of the guys asked him. He blocked it out, a skill he did very, very well.
THE NEXT DAY...
Jordan was back to his usual self. He woke up at 6:30 Sunday morning. Before everyone else. Getting dressed and taking the file from under his bed he went outside. As he got to the gazebo he sat down. It was getting light out. The sun was rising from the east with brilliant colors. He opened to the first report. It was about 5 years old.
Jordan had been 10 when the first cop calls started coming. It was before they moved to the house they did now. Jordan had hated the cops. Not because they could hurt him or anything, but because Jackson and Kendra made him lie to them. Or they knew the cops and could be bought off.
Anyway Jordan picked up the report and started reading it. It was one of the older ones. From when Jordan was about 10 or 11. That meant Hailey had been 3, and Dillion had been 6. That's the day Jordan had gotten his arm broken again and almost his jaw. He wanted to see what the police had said about it though. It was weird, he had been there, he knew what had happened. But to read the report now would be weird.
As he read the words the memories and images came back into his mind.
"We had a call from the neighbors, said they had heard a young child screaming and called to see if something had happened."
========================FLASHBACK=============================
10-year-old Jordan was in the living room playing with Hailey and Dillion. They were all laughing and giggling. Even Jordan for a change.
"Jordan?" Dillion said. "When are mommy and daddy coming home?"
"Soon." Jordan said depressed.
:I'm hungry." Hailey said whining. Whining was her newest thing.
"Come here Hail." He said holding out his arms for her.
Hailey came to him and put her arms around his neck. He picked her up.
"I'll get you something to eat.' He said as they made their way to the kitchen.
Hailey squealed with delight as Jordan ran with her into the kitchen, Dillion right behind them. They were entering the Kitchen and Jordan was putting Hailey down when he heard the door slam. He tensed up. Put he hurried up and got both his siblings cookies, hoping that if they were all quiet nothing would go wrong. Even now he was scared to death of his parents. They'd never lay a hand on Hailey or Dillion fully intentionally but they would on him in a second. And Hailey and Dillion were his responsibility in their eyes. He needed to protect them.
Jordan was just settling down when he heard the crushing of a toy and then Jackson swearing. He looked at the doorway to the kitchen with fear in his eyes.
"Dill, you and Hailey go upstairs." He said to his brother in a scared yet harsh voice.
"But..." Dillion began to say but Jordan shot him a look and ran up the stairs with Hailey.
Jordan heard the plastic smacking up against the wall. Jackson must have been really mad.
"JORDAN ALEXANDER." His mother called, he heard the rage in her voice and was frozen with fear. He didn't like it at all.
He tried to move but couldn't. "Get in here by the count of 5, you don't want me coming in there to get you." She said screaming.
He tried but he couldn't move. He didn't want to see them. He was scared.
"ONE.... TWO.... THREE..." she yelled. "FOUR...FIVE..."
He heard the footsteps coming closer and he backed against the wall, as far as he could go.
Kendra was the first to reach him. She grabbed him by the hair and pulled him away from the wall. "When I call you, you come." She said to him and smacked him across the face. "Understand?" she said.
Jordan nodded tears in his eyes.
"What's that?" Jackson said mocking, Hitting Jordan across the face with the back of his hand.
Jordan fell to the floor. Jackson kicked him. "What did I tell you about leaving your crap on the floor?" he said kicking Jordan again.
"I'm...." Jordan said choking on tears and the blood coming from his nose. "I'm sorry."
Kendra picked her son up by his shirt and threw his body against the sink. Jordan could hear a crack. He cried loudly in pain. His parents laughing.
That's when they heard the police cars. Jackson and Kendra stopped. They were coming closer. They pushed Jordan up against the wall near the stairs.
'You fell down 'em understand?" he said making Jordan look at the stairs, hurting his already tender jaw more.
Jordan managed a "yes sir." Weakly before they heard the knock on the door.
"Police, please open the door." A voice said.
Kendra went to the door and opened it. "Hello officers?" she said innocently.
"Hello Ma'am. I'm Officer Kennith, this is Officer Lier." The cop said pointing to his partner. "We got a call from one of your neighbors. Saying they heard screaming. Asked if we could check it out."
Kendra nodded her head.
"May we come in?" Deputy Lier asked.
"Of Course." Kendra said.
Jordan let out a yelp from the kitchen as he tried to move. More must have been busted than he thought.
"What was that?" Officer Kennith asked making his way to the kitchen. That's where he saw Jordan at the bottom of the stairs.
"What happened hear?" The officer asked to no one unparticular.
"Oh, Jordan our son, just had an accident and we didn't think we should move him yet. He fell down the stairs. That's what you heard, him screaming and then me shouting to my husband."
"Is this true?" Officer Lier asked looking directly at Jordan
"Yeah" Jordan said answering painfully, not looking up at the police officer. "I fell down the stairs."
========================END FLASHBACK=======================
Jordan was breathing hard. He could feel where the bones had been broken that day. Reading the Report he said bitterly laughing "What a joke. I can't believe they believed it." He said about his lie. That's what the whole report was, a lie. "The alleged victim fell down the stairs, or so was concluded after our investigation." Even they couldn't see it so how could he have expected Peter too? Maybe he was wrong to have taken the papers.
"No." he reassured himself silently. "You needed to take them so taking the last one wouldn't look weird." He said. The last report being the one that talked about the night he was actually taken away and Dillion and Hailey were taken away.
Jordan didn't want to think about it anymore. He stuffed the Papers back in his coat and looked at his watch. It was only 7:20. No one else was up yet. He made his way back to the dorm anyway.
________________________________________________________________________
LATER THAT DAY
Jordan and the cliffhangers were sitting around a table in the dining room. There had been another meeting earlier and Peter had apologized to everyone saying that the culprit of the evening confessed and everything was back to normal. It seamed to be a much more relaxed atmosphere now.
"Hey, aren't reports tomorrow?" Ezra asked.
"Yeah. Tomorrow, at group peter and Sophie are handing them out." Kat said reaching across the table to get the salt.
Kat put some salt in her soda and drank it.
"Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew!" Juliet exclaimed shuddering.
"Hey it's good. Hank showed me." Kat said. "Anybody want some?"
No one wanted it. "I'll try it." Jordan said taking Kat's glass. He took a big gulp.
"Yum." He said. "It tastes like the stuff they give you in the hospital if you loose to much blood and they can't send you home yet. Sweet and salty."
The group looked at him. "Never mind." He said not wanting to explain how he knew, so he decided to change the subject.
"So what are the reports like?" he asked. "Like are they like report cards from school or are they different."
"Well ours are like the report cards from school but our parents get one that has our grades and how we're doing and stuff. A little update." Juliet explained.
"Oh great." Jordan said sighing.
"It's not that bad." Scott said hitting Jordan in the arm. "Cheer up. Who cares what your parent's think. They aren't here right now. By the time you get home they'll have forgotten about any report you got."
"Yeah sure." Jordan said hesitantly.
PETER'S OFFICE
"That's the last of them." Sophie said stuffing the last report into an envelope and licking the seal.
"Great now we can relax." Peter said coming behind Sophie and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Ah yes." Sophie said moving to the couch and out of the chair she had been sitting in for the past hour and a half.
"So..." Peter said as he went and sat next to her wrapping his arm around her.
"So?" Sophie said leaning into his arms and hugging him.
"What do you think about our Jordan situation?" Peter asked. "Ready for a solo hike do you think?"
"Already thought of that." Sophie said pulling an envelope from her pocket. "His mom and step-dad said that his grandparents and them are sending something for him. It'll be here by Wednesday." She said with a smile on her face.
"You think of everything don't you?" he asked.
"Yep." She said yawning.
"Tired much?" he asked.
Sophie laughed. "I was thinking Next weekend for his solo." She said.
"Sounds good. I'll tell him at group tomorrow." Peter said leaning in the couch and yawning also.'
GROUP THE NEXT DAY
All the cliffhangers were anxious to get their reports. They all wanted to see how they did and how each other did. Everyone wanted to see especially how Kat did on her last one the colleges would see. They were waiting in the lodge when Peter and Sophie came in.
"Can we have them now?" Kat asked.
"Yeah Peter can we?!?!" Juliet said happily.
"In just a minute. I have an announcement to make." Peter said.
The whole group moaned. "Not another one." Scott said.
"Jordan will be going on his solo next weekend." Peter said.
The group looked at him happily. Solo hikes were cool, except the last one they had with the storm and all. But they were a good experience.
"Good Luck J." Auggie said to him patting him on the back.
"Yeah." Ezra said.
"Enough of the bonding here people. Can you just hand over them now please?' Daisy said about the reports. "Appease the people."
"Fine, Fine, fine, fine." Sophie said in mock annoyance.
"How come we have to be the last people to have group and get their reports?" Juliet said whiny.
"Cause we're here to torture you. It's what we love to do." Sophie said laughing.
They group got their report cards one at a time. Waiting to hear how the others reacted. Scott was the first.
"Yea!" he said out loud.
"What you get homes?" Auggie asked.
"90 in English, 85 in Sci, 75 in History, 87 in Math, and 91 in french." He said saying the main courses.
"Good job. Except that History Scott. Keep it up." Peter said.
Juliet was next. "Um.. 86 in English, 80 in Science, 79 in History, 85 in math, and 89 in foreign language." She said.
"Good one Jules." Auggie said. "Is mine next he asked?"
"Yes it is,' Sophie said handing the paper to him.
"All right!" Auggie said. "I got a 95 in English!" he said and received a high 5 from Scott and the rest of the gang.
"Good going Aug." Scott said.
"What else'd you get" Shelby asked.
"70 in Sci, 80 in History, 77 in math, 99 in art." He said happily.
Kat got hers next. "90 in Science, 95 in English too, 96 in History, 95 in math, and 90 in French." She said happily. That still put her on top of the others.
Shelby and Daisy got the same grades -91,89,76.5,85, and an 80. In the exact same subjects too. Everyone laughed.
"Ezra." Shelby said handing the paper to him. He went to get it.
"I failed Latin." He said bitterly. "But everything else was good. 80's all the way across the board." He said.
"At least you stay the same." Jordan said laughing. "Sorry about the latin Dude."
"It's okay. Don't need it anyway. It's dead remember." Ezra said laughing.
"And Jordan you first report." Sophie said smiling handing it to him.
"Thanks." Jordan said to them taking it.
"Whatcha get?" Kat asked.
"100 in English, 99 in Science, 100 in Latin, 95 in Math, and a 93..." he said cutting himself off. "I got a 93 in math?" he asked himself astonished.
"What? That's good last time I checked J." Scott said.
"Yeah but still. It's the lowest grade on here and it's for math. My best subject. It went down 5 points from my last report at my old school." He said disappointed.
"It's a freaking 93 Jordan. I would kill for that grade." Ezra said. "it's 13 points higher than an 80."
"But it's not my average. I haven't gotten that in like forever, since I failed 2 tests in a row last year." He said and stopped.
"Yeah your right." He said giving into them looking at him, the wouldn't understand.
"Well look who's the smart one now." Shelby said.
"Kat, you've been banished from your thrown." Daisy said.
Everyone, including Kat and Jordan were laughing.
"Someone needs to take my place when I'm gone right?" Kat said laughing.
Everyone settled down after that and group got on it's way.
TO BE CONTINUED....
P.S. Okay guys. Jordan needs a toy from his child hood for solo hike. Anyone have an Idea. I'm thinking a stuffed animal given to him by his dad before he died. Any idea what kind of animal? Thanks. Oh yeah and Review please. Tell me what you think about Jordan now, and everyone else too.
