Michelle woke up early the next morning, she looked and saw Jack was still sleeping. A smile came to her face as she snuck off the bed and to the window. She opened the shades enough to where she could see out, people were walking around with their families and being happy. Michelle turned and walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out a dress she was keeping there. Sighing she changed into it. The fabric from the dress was itchy and she hated. She coughed a bit and buttoned it up as far as she could go. "Damn!"

"Need help?" Jack walked up behind her smiling. He buttoned the rest of the buttons and looked at Michelle. "You look very nice. Where are you going?"

"My father's house. I have to make peace with him!"

"It's so early, maybe you should wait."

"It's not early you've just been asleep!" She smiled and kissed Jack on the cheek. "I'll be back when I can." With that said Michelle left the inn and walked to Will's house. She stoopd there a moment infront of the door of a house she knew she had to go in. She reached up and knocked hard enough to be heard.

Hayden who had just gotten up for school went into the bathroom to get cleaned up and dressed he grabbed his books and homework and headed down stairs when he heard the knock on the door. He opened up, grinned, and hugged his sister" Morning sis! You're here early." He chuckled.

"I know I'm early, I just couldn't sit in the room any longer. I've been up for a few hours. Is Dad here? Or at the shop?"

He smiled" Nope he woke me up and went back to bed ....I think dad;s sleeping in today" He shrugged" School doesnt start for another hour or so"

"Oh, so he went back to bed? I knew I came to early!" Michelle walked into the house and looked around. "Where's his room?"

He smirked" when he woke me up he was shirtless and i heard Mum call him back to the room ...I wouldnt want to walk in on anything ...Thats why im down stairs" He laughed.

"Mom stayed here last night?" Michelle looked at Hayden very confused. "I'm going up there anyways and if I catch them doing anything I'll scream and then walk up to them like nothing happened." She smiled sheepishly.

Hayden laughed and rolled his eyes and waved" Yea have fun!" He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a apple to eat and to listen to what's happening upstairs

Michelle shook her head and walked up the stiars a door was open and she peeked, "Hayden's room, messy." She walked to the closed door and took in a deep breath. She knocked on the door and heard some trip and fall. She stood there laughing as Liz opened the door looking quite messy.

"Michelle, your early," Liz said in a whisper.

"And your a mess." Michelle looked in the room and saw her father laying there sleeping. "I came to talk to Dad. I have to make my amends before I leave for good!"

"What?!" Hayden yelled as he walked up the last two steps. "Your leaving?" He stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. "You can't leave, I won't let you!"

"Shhh you two, you don't want to wake him up." Liz looked back in the room and saw WIll had woken up and wasn't there.

"Look Hayden I know you don't want me to go but I have to," Michelle tried to walk past him but he put his arm out and stopped her.

Hayden looked horrified " I just got you back i cant lose you now! ...why do you have to leave? please stay!"

Michelle looked at Hayden and winked s if trying to tell she's not really leaving, "I have to go .... Mom and Dad don't want me here. Your welcome to come with me and Jack anytime you want."

Hayden got the idea and smiled" Really? that would be wicked? " his smile broke into a grin.

Michelle looked back at Liz, "I'll be home within the next month." She lookedat Hayden again, "You going to come with us now or wait?" - Liz looked at Michelle, "He has school..." - "School isn't going to teach him lifes lessons"

Hayden grinned and jumped up and down" Please? i hate school ...i wanna go and get to know my sister ..please?"

Liz looked at Hayden, "No, You can't go. Just because Michelle is a delinquent doesn't mean your going to be one too!"

Hayden glared at his mother" You cant tell me what to do! ."

"Well mother since your going to be so uptight about this I'll go and talk to Jack, maybe he can make heads of this!" Michelle looked at Liz then to Hayden, "Go to school today and by tomorrow you'll be sailing the seven seas." She smiled and walked down the stairs.

Hayden grinned and nodded and ran down stairs to grabbed his books ...He ran outside to head to school down the road.

Michelle stood there by the gate watching Hayden run off to school. He looked so happy that he could come with her and Jack if he wanted, but right now that was the least of her worries! She walked back up to her parent's house and knocked on the door again. Will answered the door looking exhausted! Michelle smiled. "Hello Dad."

"Michelle what do you want?"

"Oh that's a nice welcome for the daughter who's leaving soon!"

"No Michelle I--I--I'm sorry. Please come in."

"No I think I'll stay out here. Um I just wanted to say good-bye. Me and Jack plan to leave within the hour, he's getting the ship ready." She sighed.

"Your really going to leave?" Will bit his lower lip, "You can't just leave like this Michelle. Your mother talked with me last night and I see nothing wrong with you and Jack dating. Just as long as that's all your doing!" He looked at Michelle who raised her brow.

"Dad what are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about. I just don't want to see any Jack Juniors running around anytime soon!" He looked at Michelle and she laughed. "Don't laugh I'm serious! Now come in here and eat something you looked starved!"

"Well I haven't eatten anythig yet today so why not?" She walked in and sat with both of her parents for breakfast.

They got so caught up in their conversation before they knew it Hayden was coming home from school. Michelle laughed as she heard a door slam books hit the floor and an "I hate school!" She got up and walked out to see her brother standing against the wall a putrid (well to her) apple in his hand. "Problems?"

Hayden rolled his eyes" Yeah you could say that" He walked closer and now had a black eye" I got into another fight im suspended from school for a week" He sighed and toke a bite out of his apple.

"Well looks like you get to come with me and Jack sooner than you thought eh?" She smiled and winked. "Well I must be off gotta help Jack with a little problem he's having." She saw Will looking at her strangely she winked and walked out the door then headed to the inn where Jack was waiting for her.
