Chapter 2

Kyle sat at his computer re-reading Jessi's email that he had received a couple of hours ago: all it said was "I'm safe" which frustrated Kyle who had been out of his mind worried about Jessi and whether of not she was safe. He feared in the beginning, when he didn't hear from her, that Latnok had some how taken Jessi and was holding her against her will as a means to get him to do what they wanted. But after conferring with Foss and his contacts he knew that Latnok didn't have Jessi causing his mind to race into a million different directions.

Finally it was Lori who pointed out to him that Jessi may have just needed time to get settled and work through a few things before she got to a place where she was comfortable enough to contact him. This concerned Kyle even more as how much turmoil must Jessi have been in that she needs time to sort herself out before she feels like she can contact him, such thoughts made Kyle want to go out and look for her, so he could take care of her and help her heal but both Nicole and Steven had been against it. They reasoned with Kyle stating that if Jessi left it was because she honestly felt that she would be better off somewhere away from him and the rest of the family whilst she healed and worked through her grief.

This had left Kyle feeling guilty and helpless and it wasn't until a few days later that Kyle received a little comfort in the form of Foss' promise that he would find Jessi if they hadn't heard from her in a month.

Jessi had just made the deadline with a week to spare.

Now sitting in front of his computer Kyle had so much that he wanted to say but he didn't know where to start so looking at one of the dozen of pictures that he had drawn of Jessi since she had left he decide to just let it flow through him...

Dear Jessi,

It has been 3 weeks since you left, please come home.

Things have not been the same since you left; I haven't been the same since you left.

I know that you have been through a lot lately and that you need time to heal and mourn Sarah but I honestly believe that you would heal better with the people who love and care about you supporting you whilst you heal. Tragers were all very upset when you left, especially Nicole, who is blaming herself for not seeing how much you were struggling and in need of help and support from us all. We all should have paid more attention to how you were coping with everything and maybe then we wouldn't have lost you.

I blame myself more than anything because like you have always said we are the same, I should have known that you were not coping, instead I was more concerned with Latnok and Amanda then I was for you. For that I am truly sorry and I ask you to please forgive me I promise to do much better; to remember to always look deeper rather than just assuming that you are fine and able to cope with the situation at hand. I always assumed that you are a rock and that your strength is unending but I realise now that I have taken you for granted and I promise never to do that again.

I want you to know that we are all waiting eagerly for you to come home but if your feel that you cannot come back to us yet, then that's ok. We want you to get better and we don't want to put any pressure on you to come home before your ready, but if you ever want anything no matter what it is you know that all you have to do is ask, we are here for you whenever you need us even if it is just to talk.

Please let us know how you're doing, keep in touch regularly so that we don't worry.

I miss you Jessi more than I can say. Please come home soon.

Always,

Kyle

Looking over his email once more before hitting the send button, Kyle realised that for now he had to protect Jessi and this meant that she couldn't find out about what was happening here at home. His priority had to be Jessi and her emotional well being and nothing could interfere with that not even Latnok.

A/N: I have decided that this FF will be in the form of letters, IMs and emails as that is how the story is currently progressing in my head and also this will help me manage this FF along with the others that I have currently going on. It won't be forever and when I feel like the story needs a full chapter it will have one so don't worry that I am going to short change this story in favour of my other FF because I won't.

Please Review Review Review.
