A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to PrudencePiperHalliwell for being the first reviewer to my last chapter. Thanks Nicole. I hope you all liked the extreme cliffhanger last chapter. I know I did. Hahaha.
PrudencePiperHalliwell: I'm an idiot? Oh, come on, you know you love me…I'm just a totally awesome writer and you can't handle that. Hahaha. I'm just joking Nicole. TTYL.
kittykatangel518: I won't answer that question. You'll figure it out soon enough. And evil is a good thing, I think…
Uh.yeah: Not baseball dude, football dude. HintHint. But yes, it is sad that they got interrupted.
sassystar678: Thanks so much for the review.
flonshoe: That was 1056 dies'. Believe me I counted. Wow, you must really hate that guy. No offence, but I think you might be slightly insane with all the DIES. It was funny though. And also the longest review I've ever gotten. And a guy wearing a purple hat is kinda freaky now that you point it out.
Drzlokkita: Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate it.
Murfdurf22: Did that whole thing with Rob freak you out? Your review kinda seemed like it. But, you'll find out all the answers soon enough…
nikki007: Rob better be okay? Sure…
moovalous3: Now that you put it that way, Rob in a bad mood is very dangerous. Lol.
madmaddy: I hate it when that happens. You wanted to say that you have a really weird sense of humor? That didn't make sense.
sparlkinqt87: Thanks so much for the review.
rubberband11: You changed your name too? Well, I'll have to put James Lee onto my ending thanks unless you mind that. But, thanks for the review.
iluvmybeagle: Thanks so much for the review.
Chapter 12
Gary had tried to calm me down, but I was inconsolable at that point. Instead I just walked away from him towards Rob's bike. I still had the stupid hat in my hand. I don't know why, but I just couldn't bring myself to let it go.
I had only driven a motorcycle once and that was in a dire emergency, now I was doing it because I needed to get away from everyone at the garage.
I ended up trying to drive around to clear my head, but I ended up at Rob's house. I saw Mrs. Wilkins truck in the driveway and I thought that she might need a little support. I mean, Rob was her son and he was kidnapped because of me.
I didn't even knock. I went straight through the front door and into the kitchen. I don't know how I knew that Mrs. Wilkins was, in fact, in the kitchen, but I did.
The moment I saw her sitting in the room in complete darkness I was hit with a wave of depression. Rob was practically all she had and she might never see him again. But there was no way I was going to let that happen. I couldn't. And I'm Lightning Girl for a reason, right?
I started talking extremely fast the moment she looked tearfully up at me, "I'm so sorry. I never meant for ant of that to happen. It's all my fault. If I hadn't-"
"Jess, calm down. Both of us overreacting won't help any of us figure out where he is." I guess Gary or her brother had called to tell her when I left. I can't blame them though.
I nodded, "But, Mrs. Wilkins, I really am sorry. It's all my fault." I gave a very loud and disgusting sniff to add to it. I can't help it; I was about to cry.
"Oh sweetie, come here." She pulled me into her lap and I finally stopped holding back the tears I hadn't even known I was collecting. I cried for a good ten minutes before I calmed down enough to look at her in the face. "It's not your fault. None of this is your fault. And please, don't call me Mrs. Wilkins. It makes me feel old. Please, call me Mary instead."
I shook my head. I couldn't call her Mary no matter how much she wanted me too. It sounded wrong. "I can't do that Mrs. Wilkins."
She gave me an impatient look and said, "Then instead of Mary, let's see what you can call me…" She thought for a minute before saying, "What about Mom? Rob calls me that and you're practically me daughter anyway."
I thought for a minute before I nodded. It wasn't that big of a deal to call her mom even though I do have one of my own. But, of course, my mom wasn't the best mother there was and Mrs. Wilkins-Mom-was. And she sounded so proud when she said that I was practically her daughter that I couldn't refuse. My mother would never say anything like that with the amount of respect and love that Mom said it with. Rob is such a lucky duck to have her. But maybe, if I play my cards right, I can have her too. Well, I would have to get Rob back first. But after that I would start dealing.
"Okay, now that that's settled. How do you suggest we get Rob back?" I had moved from her lap into the seat next to her and I was looking straight into her eyes. I saw pain in them, but also love, for me. They reminded me of Rob and his eyes. Rob had the same look of love in his pale blue eyes when he looked at me. Maybe he really did love me then.
"I could try to go to sleep and dream about him."
"You should go do that then. Go into Rob's room and I'll be up there in a few minutes."
A.N.: I am so sorry that it's so short, but I want to put everything in the next chapter and I couldn't think of anything else to put in this chapter to make it longer. I swear the next chapter will be longer though. And I'm almost done with this fic! I don't know whether to say yay or start crying. I thought I would have gotten more reviews for my last chapter, I mean, with the fluff and then Rob being kidnapped. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying I'm surprised. I wonder is I can get 200 reviews by the time I'm done with this story, hmmm…that would be interesting. I've never had that many before.
