as everyone is in the house after the very eventful ride, they confront Jake about his Mom,

Jake- i guess you didn't come here for that wild ride,

Emma- Jake we are worried about you,

Jake- all because I didn't want a cookie?? if it was that important to Ms. Enrille I would of took it, geez!!!

Troy and Gia are annoyed by the fact Jake thinks they are here because he refused a cookie from Alyssa,

Gia- Jake where is your mom at?

Gia asks the question straight out about his mom, Jake knows lying about it would just be wrong, Jake is sweating, nerves are getting to him and it is showing,

Jake- uh... I uh... I don't know what you are talking about,

Jake's mind- d'oh!! what you were thinking saying that? you stupid idiot!!!!!!!!

Troy- Jake come on buddy, we know your mom left,

Alyssa- we came here to see if we can help you,

Jake- my mom just left for a few days, she's done this a few times she comes back, just she (tears start to fall) packed all her clothes and she been gone for the last month, I mean she'll come back i am always optimistic, she will come back

as Jake is trying to hold tears back, Noah notices a letter on the table he grabs it

Jake- Noah go ahead and read it bro

Noah- Troy you read it

Troy- No you read it,

Orion- I'll read it (grabs the letter) Jake, I don't know how to tell you this, but I met someone new but the bad part is this I can't take you with me, he doesn't want you and I respect his feelings about i know what I am doing is legally and morally wrong by abandoning you and leaving you here in Hargrove City, but I love Richmond, and he doesn't want to raise another man's child, I will be raising his 7 children with him, I know you are angry with me, and you have every right to be, all I want after your dad died was to be loved by a another man, but I raised you after all three of your sisters died of addiction, but you broke the chain, you should be proud of yourself, I am sorry for leaving you alone for Christmas, but I am sorry, don't try contacting me, I'm sorry, Mom

Jake can't hold back the tears anymore when Orion finishes the letter, and starts balling,

Jake- Mom did leave me!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Why Mom????????

Jake is emotional, Gia and Emma comfort him, then they hear a knock on the door,

Jake- oh great, the CPS people coming to get me, (yells at the door) you aint taking me alive!!!!

Noah opens the door it's his dad and mom, his dad is a lawyer and his mom is a nurse

Mrs. Carver- Noah is Jake here?

Jake- i ain't going down without a fight!!!!

He grabs Emma and puts her in a headlock

Emma- uh Jake let go, I... can't breathe!!!!!

Conner- Jake, let me explain, I came here and Noah's parents came h, they were at the courthouse and got guardianship of you, you are not going to foster care,

Jake- i don't believe you!!

Mr. Carver- i have the paperwork here, you want to read it,

Emma- uh people!!!!!! I am being deprived of oxygen here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let me go Jake you animal!!!!!!

Mr. Carver hands Jake the paperwork

Mr. Carver- uh Jake, could you let Emma go, she looks like she wants to breathe

Jake- Oh sorry Em,

Jake lets Emma out of the headlock, as she is catching her breath, Jake reads it, as he sits down and reads it

Mrs. Carver- Noah go pack Jake's stuff up and put it in the truck

Noah, Troy and Orion go and pack up Jake's room in minutes, as Jake finishes reading the guardianship papers

Jake- so I stay with you guys?

Mrs. Carver- yes Jake, you and Noah are like brothers, we couldn't stand the fact your sorry excuse for a mother just left you alone, we took action

Jake is now thankful, he lost his mother now he gained a family
