Chapter 3- Making up and Going Home

Jade woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon being cooked. She opened her eyes and got up carefully. She walked to the kitchen and watched as Charlie made breakfast. "Good morning Charlie. I never knew you cooked."

Charlie turned as Jade finished speaking. "Jade your up just in time for breakfast. Living with mum I learned how to cook. Speaking of mum she's freaking out. She sent me an owl this morning because Harry went looking for you there."
"You didn't tell them I was here did you?"

"No. You would have told someone where you were going if you wanted them to know. You should at least send an owl to mum and let her know your okay before she tears the world apart looking for you."

"I will. She didn't do anything to me. Do you have an owl I can borrow?"

"Yeah but you have to wait until he gets back from a delivery. Sit down and have some breakfast."

Knowing it was pointless to tell him she wasn't very hungry so she sat down as he put a plate of eggs in front of her. She took a fork as he sat down across from her and took a bite. He watched as her face turned a delicate shade of green and rushed to the bathroom. He laughed a bit when she came back and pushed the eggs away from her. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Charlie got up to answer it while Jade sat there and took a drink of water. Charlie opened the door and glanced quickly at Jade. She listened for a clue as to was at the door so early in the morning. "Charlieyouhavegottohelpme.JadeleftandIdon'tknowwhereshewent.Shecouldbehurtordead. Can I come in?" Harry rushed out in one breath.

Upon hearing those words Jade silently and quickly got up and went to Charlie's room and hid in the closet. Charlie watched discreetly as she went before answering Harry. "Sure you can come in."

Harry came inside and sat down at the kitchen table where there were there were two plates sitting on the table. Charlie glanced at the table and thought, "Damn, she forgot to hide her plate. Wonder what lie I should tell him?" Thankfully Harry didn't ask any questions deciding he didn't really want to know. "So Harry what did you do to make Jade leave?"

"I said her cousin Sahara couldn't come to the wedding."

"Do you even know Sahara?"

"No. I didn't even know she had a cousin."

"Then the simple answer is this Harry. Send an owl to Jade and tell her that Sahara can come. She has no other family do you really think it's right to deprive her of this one family member?"

"No it's not. It just surprised me she never mentioned Sahara before now. I'm going to go find an owl and send her an apology."

"There's no need Harry. I heard everything you said." Jade said from the doorway.

Harry got up and pulled her into a big hug. "I'm sorry Jade."

"It's okay. I think I may have overreacted. I'm sorry."

Jade turned and gave Charlie a hug. "Thanks for everything Charlie. I'll be back to see you again sometime."

"Anytime Jade." He said as Jade walked out the door hand in hand with Harry. He opened up the car door for her before getting in on the driver side. He turned off the radio and took Jade's hand in his. She just smiled up at him like nothing had ever happened as far as she was concerned their fight was now in the past. It was a quiet drive home.
