Jen was sitting down writing an eassay while chatting with Jim on a message comunicator. When her mother came down the stairs and walked over to her. "Jen?" "Yes?" she said not looking up due to she was reading a book for her paper. "Dear may we talk ?" "I'm listenign." she said still not lookign up. "Jen..something is wrong." "With what mom." "You're father." Jen stopped what she was doing and looked at her mother in confusion. "What do you mean mom? "

"He has a fever and he knows something but wont say anything." "what are you saying?" "Im not sure Jen but your father is never secretive yo uknow that." "I'll talk to him again." christina knodded. "Jen..." "Yeah?" "Why - I mean... can we- " "Can we what mom? " Jen asked beginning to be annoyed by her mother's rambling. "Jen you seen to not want me around you at all not even to talk-"

"Do you blame me?" Christina looked at Jen with the look of shock and surprise on her face. "Jen I thought-" "what mom ? that things would be normal , like they were when I was ten years old? always accepting the fact that you weren't there to help me out when I needed you !"

"Jeanine no I didnt think that , it's just- I never left you!" Christina raised her voice . "You never left me? then I geuss you were just invisable these past seven years right? " "Jen you are unreal!" "Me! Im not the one who leaves her family with out a word you didnt even tell me goodbye I called for you mom I did!"

"I did it for you and your father people would have looked down on the two of you if I had stayed!" "Who cares I needed you! I needed my mommy to be with me at night my entire life! But you didnt care you never even sent me a letter! where have you been mom ? I'm seventeen years old im not the little six year old that would wait for you to come home from my window or ask where you were till im sure dad could scream! I just ugh!" "Jeanine I am your mother! "

"what is going on in here?" Arrow asked coming into the room. Jen grabbed all her things and ran up the stairs past her father stopping at the bottom , "If thats what you say." and countinued.

"Alright what was that? "He asked when christina plopped down. "This isnt going as we planned." "Chris , you were gone for seven years. Jen isnt going to go back to the way things were." "Alton I-I had to go..." Jen came out of her room and sat at the stairs like she used to as a child to listen to them. "I always called here. once a year.. sometimes twice.."

Arrow looked at her confused like. "Dont ask why I just did...sometimes you'd answer other times it was Jen.. I was going to come back after a year but someone told me you had finally gotten over me.. So.." "christina I never got 'over' you. I have loved you ever since I met you I told you no matter what I'd love you. " Jen slowly came down behind them "that was you?"

"Pardon?" 'that was you that called every year? I knew it!" she accually looked excited. "I always thought it was you that you caredbut maybe the phone always messed up. " "I just wanted to hear your voices. Jen I never left you. " She hugged her mother "Im not saying I forgave you. "she said once she let go. 'But Im workign on it." "I'll take that."

then Jen smiled turned and walked to the door grabbing her coat. "where are you goign Jeanine?" Arrow asked , "Oh im goign solar surfing with Jim. Be back in a bit daddy." She hugged and kissed his cheeck and left. "How dod you do it Alton?" "What?" "Nothing just nothing." "Jen is an odd girl Chris but a good one." "Im know alton I know.."
