1 YEAR LATER

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jess layed on the couch and watched TV as his mom was about to go to work. "Jess you need to get to school."

"Nope. No school today. It's a holiday."

"Jess, I'm not falling for that again. Get up and get to school. I'm very tired of your principal calling me every day."

"Then stop answering the phone."

"Get up NOW!" She yanked him up by the shirt.

"Ok ok fine, I'm going." He walked out the door and started heading down the street. He hated going to school, so he decided to skip out....again. He saw a little book store and went inside. He sat down and grabbed a book; he read until 3:30 and then went home. He layed back down on the couch and watched TV. The phone rang.

"Hello?" Jess answered.

"Jess! You wanna come hang out at the warehouse?"

"Yeah I'm in, Parker. I'll be there in 15." They hung up and Jess started getting ready. As he was putting his coat on, his mother got home, she was completely silent.

"I'm goin out."

"No." He stopped.

"What?" He asked a little disbelieving.

"Jess, your principal called again. It seems you didn't go to school today."

"Yeah so."

"Jess!"

"Look, Parker and the guys are waitin for me."

"Fine....I have to go take care of something. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

"What? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to take care of something, like I said." She started to go into her room and then stopped. "Oh and, Jess. No parties will be held at our apartment. Am I right?"

"Yeah yeah..." He left and she got packed and left for the bus stop.

She arrived at her destination around 5:00 p.m. And went straight to her brother, Luke. She went into his diner and walked up to the counter. Without turning around, Luke asked for her order.

"I'd like to talk if that's alright." Luke turned around.

"Liz?!? What are you doing here?!?" He came around the counter and pulled her into a hug.

"I came because....well-"

"Where's your kid?"

"Well that's kind of what I need to talk to you about....."
