Chapter 10
"What if they're mad?" Jessica asked, reluctantly getting out of the car. Rey rolled his eyes, "they won't be, they're you family for crying out loud." She nodded as if trying to convince herself and followed him up to the tall oak doors. She hid behind him and put her head on his back as he knocked.
"Hi Rey, what's up?" asked Sara, after she had opened the door. "I have a surprise for you, you and your mom." He grabbed Jessica's hand and pulled her in front of him. Sara gasped, bringing her hand to her mouth in shock. "Oh my god," she whispered. "Hi, Sara," Jessica answered. Sara reached out and grabbed her sister's hand. "Are you real?" she choked out. Jessica nodded. She pulled her sister into a hug, both girls crying.
Sara pulled away, calling for their mother. "Okay, okay I'm coming you have to-" she stopped short at the sight. "Susan, I brought your daughter home," Rey said with a smile. Her mom hugged her repeatedly; she didn't seem to believe it was really her.
"Thank you, so much."

When they were finally able to get to Rey's house, it was past midnight. He showed Jessica to his guestroom. "I, uh. don't have anything, you know as in clothing," she said with an embarrassed laugh. "That's okay, you can borrow some p.j.'s from me, and tomorrow we'll go get you some new clothes."
"Thank you, very much. You don't have to do any of this and yet you still do. That means a lot," she said greatfully. "Of course I do, I love you, Jess, you mean the world to me," he gently touched her cheek. "Good night," she whispered back.
