A/n I don't own Jack Bobby.

A/n thanks for the reviews everyone. Hopefully this chapter was as good as the 1st.

A/n Jack, Bobby and Amy, aren't really in this chapter. Because this chapter is basically setting up, the plot line for the next chapter. Plus this chapter is mainly giving you, the readers some background info on some of the character you might or might not know.

Ch 2.

"Hey man." Marcus said to Jack while heading toward his locker. "So, got any hints on who might a robbed you."

"No, I don't care about hints or clues or anything that associates itself with those meanings, and I really don't want to talk about what happened." Jack said sharply. "Its like everyone's trying to be my shrink or something. I'm not loosing my mind, because if I did I wouldn't be here at school, I'd be in a mental hospital." Jack said, before wobbling away to his next class.

When Jack was gone, Courtney appeared by Marcus' locker.

"He still won't talk about it?" Courtney asks, already knowing what Marcus' answer would be.

"No, you know how he's too proud for his own good sometimes." Marcus explained.

"You mean he's way too stubborn." Courtney added.

"Yeah, he had too many recent problems that he had to deal with. One more and I think he would have a mental breakdown." Marcus said sadly.

Courtney turned and looked at Marcus.

"Do you think Katie can help Jack maintain any sort of stability?" Courtney asked.

"For now, I hope so. Sometimes I can't tell if he's joking or not anymore. If Katie can't help him, he still has you, me, Amy and Bobby. But for this second we better get to class or we'll be late." Marcus said after looking at his watch and closing his locker.

Courtney and Marcus sprinted down the empty hallway to their next class. They actually got to class 3 seconds before the bell rang.

"Mr. Ride and Miss Benedict, you two are fairly lucky, that you came before the bell or it would have been detention for you two." Mr. Bunkly said sternly. "Take your seats now. Now class before I was interrupted by Mr. Ride and Miss Benedict, we were talking about Edgar Allen Poe and the numerous reasons why his poems have a dark tone to them."

Marcus and Courtney walked to the back of the room, looking tried from running and red from being embarrassed in front of the whole class.

At the University

Grace was walking to her office. After a morning filled with lectures and discussions, lunch in her office was something to look forward to. Today's lunch was extra special because she would be spending that time with Tom. He was the kind of person she has been longing for all her life. Grace's mind was filled with various thoughts, that she didn't see a man walking by her in the opposite direction. She accidentally bumped that man, causing him to spill juice all over his white shirt.

"Wow, first day on the job, and I'm already a mess." Said the man, while getting some tissues out of his pockets and started to wipe the juice out of shirt, but sadly having no such luck.

"Oh my, I'm really sorry, I didn't see you there." Grace said. She looked at the man. He was 6'2 and looked like he was in his mid or late thirties. He had dark brown hair and had facial features that resemble both Tom Cruise and George Clooney.

"Well, I'm just lucky I already met Mr. Benedict, I wouldn't want him to get the wrong impression of me. Oh I'm Ron Parker; I'm the new professor in the art department." Said the man, still hoping that the stain would vanish soon.

"I'm Grace McCallister." Grace said. 'So what kind of art do you teach the painting, the drawing or the modern art?" Grace said curiously.

"Actually I teach art history, mainly about the art during the Renaissance. And you Grace, teach, let me guess history." Ron said, finally giving up on trying to get the stain off.

"Why yes, mostly Women history, you know, how women have assumed various roles through out history." Grace said. She really wanted to stop talking and to start walking again to her office.

"Well, I better go; I have to lecture to a bunch of students, in this stained shirt." Ron said half jokingly.

"I'm really sorry Ron." Grace said while walking as fast as she can to her office.

Grace was about to turn the door knob of her office, before Alice, her coworker stopped her. "Grace, there's a woman in your office. She's been waiting in there for 20 minutes. Oh and here's your mail, you forgot to get it before your first class this morning."

Grace took the mail from Alice and finally entered her office. She saw the back of the woman, Alice was talking about. The woman, looked like she was in her late twenties and early thirties, and she looked vaguely familiar to Grace. The woman had her back to Grace, because she was looking at the various different books that Grace kept on her shelves.

"Excuse me, can I help you." Grace said. The woman turned around and faced Grace. Once Grace saw the face, she instantly knew who she was talking to. The two women looked at each other for a long 5 seconds and then Grace hugged the women, like she was her long lost sister. After a long embrace, Grace sat behind her desk and the women sat in the chair in front of the desk. Grace took out her lunch before anyone could start up a conversation.

"Well Grace, I haven't seen you for a while and you already looked, I don't know shall I say, happier." The woman said gently.

"Jane Derwood, you haven't visited me in a long time, but Amy has. Have you been sending Amy to spy on me?" Grace said before drinking her diet coke.

"No, I have not. I've just been busy. Teaching high school seniors isn't the best job in the world, but at least it pays. Anyway, my Amy told me just last night, that she saw you with a man and you two looked like a couple. Grace McCallister, I thought I was your favorite student and that you could tell me anything. I guess not, since any new information about you, I must find out through Amy." Jane said with a smile on her face. Grace was just listening and eating her lunch, without her boy-toy, by her side, lunch was a horrible let down. Thankfully Jane was there to talk to her.

"Well Jane, you and I know, that you just don't visit randomly, so what do you need?" Grace was curious.

"Well, Owen has a big case in New York, and it's during our wedding anniversary. So he wants me to fly to New York to be with him for about a week. We obviously can't take Amy with us, considering it's a school week. And I know Amy is in 9th grade and is old enough to stay home alone. But…" Jane didn't know how to ask Grace for the favor.

"Yes, Amy can stay with the boys and me." Grace responded, before Jane went on.

"Thanks Grace, but where would Amy sleep?" Jane wanted to know.

"Amy or one of the boys would sleep in the guest room. Don't worry sleeping arrangements will be finalized, once I talk with the 3 of them." Grace said.

Just then, Tom came into the office.

"Sorry I'm late, I was just finishing some paper." Tom looked sweaty.

Jane looked surprised. She looked at Tom and then at Grace. She put two and two together and came up with a conclusion.

"Grace, why don't you introduce me to your boyfriend." Jane said with a big grin on her face.

Grace started to blush.

"Jane Derwood this is Tom Graham. Tom this is Jane. Jane was a former student of mine and Tom is my TA." Grace said while Jane and Tom shuck hands.

"Well I better go, my lunch period is almost over and I have a long drive back to the high school. Nice meeting you Tom, bye Grace." Jane said while leaving her office.

Once Jane left, Grace closed the door to her office and pulled down all the window shades.

"Now lunch can truly begin." Tom said, while wrapping his arms around Grace's waist and started to kiss her neck gently.

Back At the High School

Dex Truggman was staring at the back of Bobby McCallister's head. She didn't have feelings for him anymore, but there was something inside her telling her, that she still longs for his friendship. She doesn't want or deserve his love, but his friendship is what she really wants from Bobby. But Dex knows that she can't talk to Bobby, because those were Jack's orders. Dex knew she shouldn't have follow Jack McCallister's orders, but she believe that as Bobby's brother, Jack knows what's best for Bobby.

Bobby felt someone watching him, when he turned his head to look; Dex put her head down and pretended to be interested with her lunch. Bobby kind of knew that it was Dex that was watching his every move. He just fully got over her and doesn't have those strong feelings for Dex. Warren, Bobby's friend, sat next to Bobby and was eating his lunch in a fast pace.

"Slow down Warren." Bobby warned him.

"I can't, the bell will ring soon." Warren said with a mouth filled with food.

"No, we still have 10 minutes." Bobby said while looking at his watch.

Amy was walking to her usual lunch table, which she shares with the rest of the swimming team. She stopped at Bobby's table to say hi.

"Hi, Bobby." Amy said, while holding her lunch tray.

"Hi Amy." Bobby said while looking at Amy.

"Well I got to eat, see you later." Amy said while walking to her table.

"Your so lucky Bobby, one of the hottest 9th graders, actually talks to you." Warren said.

"Yeah, I've known her all my life. I don't think of her as you know, hot. Only as a friend." Bobby said, but it sounded like he was telling himself that.
