Disclaimer: Don't own anything except the OC's you guys seem to like, and just some one mention OC's in Jess's family.
A/N: Ah yes, the sadness arrives. I'm trying to fit some laughs in the next coming chapters, but only a few chapter left until I'm done with this. I've realized that I can't let go of the OC's I have grown attached to, so I'm going to writing sequels forever and ever. Not forever, but you get the point. Anyway, hope you guys like the chapter. Thanks so much for the reviews, and please them coming because they keep me going.

"Jess," Parker said, trying to keep up at the speed Jess was walking. "Jess!" She grabbed his arm to stop him. He turned around to her, his eyes serious, and face upset. "You have any idea what happened, please tell me."
Jess looked down at his black dirty converses, "My dad's in the hospital." Parker looked down, and cupped Jess's hand, running towards Penn station.

Stumbling into Parker's apartment, Cooper giggled, and Max held her close to him. They looked into the living room to see four boys, sitting in thought on the couch, and recliner chair.
"Hey guys, who died?" Cooper asked, giving a laugh, before Portman looked up, not cracking a smile. "Oh my God, who died?"
Cooper kneeled in front of Fulton, trying to make eye contact with him, begging for an answer. Fulton shook his head, "I don't think anyone died. Hopefully not, but Jess and Parker just left for a family emergency. Jess ran out of here, and he was deadly serious. He took Parker with him."
Portman stood up, giving Cooper a spot to sit, as she stared at the TV screen, not watching the game at all, "Of course, Parker always goes to the family emergencies. I could've gone with them if I was here. Both of them are probably freaking out right now."
Max stood behind Cooper, rubbing her shoulders in comfort, "I'm sure if it's really serious Jess or Parker will call us back. Don't worry, when they get there, they'll call and tell us what's happening. Let's just hope that everything's okay."

Looking at the white house, with a picket fence; the houses you only imagined in movies, with toys scattered all over the lawn. Parker and Jess stared, anxious to walk in, but scared to what they might find out.
"Come on," Parker said, squeezing Jess's hand in support, as she took a few steps forward, across the grass, trying not to trip on any toys. Ringing the door bell, the two stood there, their arms crossed, and waited for it to open.
"Hey guys," The two looked up to Jess's eldest sister, Jayne, her eyes red and puffy. It obviously wasn't from allergies. She opened the screen door, taking both Jess and Parker into a hug. "Everyone's in the family room, we've all got some talking to do."
Walking in, Jess and Parker automatically walked to Jess's mom, Jaymi and hugged her, as she rested her exhausted head between their shoulders.
"What happened mama Jay?" Parker asked, picking up Jake, sitting in his spot, and placing him on her lap.
Jaymi sighed, before explaining, "James had a heart attack last night. They can't fly him here, there's too much risk. He's in bad condition right now, but they won't allow him to fly in. We don't know how long, so the family has to go there. I don't know how long we'll have to live there."
"The whole family?" Jess asked, looking at Parker.
"Well, I guess, Jess. We can't split the family up," Jaymi said, her head in her hands, obviously torn in what to do.
"But the kids are all happy here, you guys just can't move out there and start new. Jayne's having the baby soon, you'd be changing her whole life," Jess said, the oldest male in the family, looking at his siblings all looking down, and his mother on the verge of tears. "I'll go."
Parker's eyebrows furrowed and slowly looked at Jess, whispering, "What?"
"What?" Jayne asked, staring at her younger brother.
"What?" Jaymi asked, lifting her head, staring at her son.
"What?" The little ones all asked simultaneously, as Jess looked at all of them.
"I can transfer to the university there. I'm the oldest brother, and I'll stay there however long I need to," Jess said, seeing Parker stare at the wooden floor, refusing to look him in the eye.
"Honey, are you sure you wanna do this?" Jaymi asked, admiring her son for the courage and responsibility he had.
Jess tried to smile, and he gave a nod, "Anything for the family."

"You should really go to sleep," Cooper said, walking into the living room, where Guy flipped through the channels.
"Can't," He responded as she sat down. "I've been texting Parker all day, and she hasn't responded to any of them."
Cooper sighed, leaning her head against the couch, "Jess called me and said they were on their way, so I'm sure they'll be here any-" Cooper turned around, hearing the lock turn, anticipating the faces of Parker and Jess.
Walking in, Parker stared at the ground, and Jess looked in the other direction from Parker. They both looked so serious, and disappointed.
"You guys okay?" Cooper asked, running up to both of them, suffocating them in a hug. Guy watched as Jess stared at Parker, and Parker refused to look at him.
"Yeah, we're fine," Jess said, to reassure Cooper, putting his arm around her.
"What happened?" Guy asked, walking towards Parker, who seemed to avoid any eye contact with anyone.
Jess looked at Parker, pleading that she look up, "My dad had a heart attack, and he's under serious conditions." He paused, giving up on the eye contact, "I have to move to Oregon."
