Yes decision decisions. Sorry the chapter was Rob-less but remember the earlier argument and The Trip? Thanks for your review.

Again decisions decisions. You will soon see her decision, or not. It all depends on my typing fingers. There the ones you need to ask.

Mrs. Nikki Slater

Points up remember The Trip. Sorry it took so long, have been really hectic. Sorry.

Uh.yeah

I know, I would never do such a thing. Although she did have good reason. Thank you. I love Rob so I didn't want to get him wrong. It was intentional just so people know what's going on. Thanks a lot. You're a very nice person.  Also thanks for reviewing not just the last chapter; it was very nice of you.

Here's the update! I liked my delay too, it was fun  I'm sorry you were confused but I'm very glad that things cleared themselves up. Don't worry I like long reviews, well I like any reviews really but I especially like long ones.

Well there you go. Oodles of reviews, well not oodles but a fair amount, I'm happy. So here is your story. Enjoy! I must say it's not as long as my other chapters but it's what you're getting and your lucky to get it I have been extremely busy. I will try and hurry up and get another one typed up. If you're all very nice to my fingers and you type nice long reviews then my fingers may get type-I-tis and hurry another story to you all. To get them to do that be nice and review. Any way. Enjoy!

I guess the decision doesn't have to be rushed because Jill isn't in danger. In fact she's got everything she could ever need. She's got the run of the house, of course there's no phone, but it's not like this sicko is hurting her or anything, so I've got time to think. Although, just because he isn't been violent doesn't mean that she's ok. I wonder if Dad will let me have the day off work again, then I can ring Rob and … oh I can't ring Rob, he's on a trip. That might be better though, it means I can go get Jill and leave without aggravating this guy. But first off to work. The decision will have to be made while at work.

"Ring. Ring."

I immediately dived for it, who wouldn't right?

"Hello? Mastriani Household, Jess speaking."

"Hey Jess."

It was Ruth. Who else would ring this early and know I was up?

"What'd ya want, I've got to go to work you know?"

"Yea it's 'bout that."

"You're ringing about me working?"

"Yes. Can we book a table at Mastriani's? And your other work too, found Jill?"

"Firstly, Ring Mastriani's. Secondly, yes I have."

"Fine, I thought you would have done it for your friend and her date but whatever, it looks like I'll have to do it myself. Shows how much…"

"RUTH..."

It seems mean for me to have interrupted but come on she was rambling, and not the walking kind.

"…What date?"

"Well…"

I could sense her blushing over the phone, I guess that's what happens when you know someone for so long, not the blushing, the knowing that she's blushing. I worked my way downstairs so that I would be ready to go straight after getting a confession out of Ruth. Mum looked up from her cereal and newspaper but soon put her head back down. I guess she's still mad.

"Come on Ruth. Tell Auntie Jess."

"Fine, but don't get all, well, you know"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll promise to remain calm and impartial."

"Right..."

Now she was the one getting fed up. And Mum was looking pointedly at her watch then at me. God. She's mad and won't talk to me but she will still do her best to annoy me. I returned the look and said, "Ruth, can we hurry this up. I've got work. Who is he?"

She rolled her eyes. But I'm pretty sure she smiled a little before returning to her newspaper.

"Claire set me up with him, from drama club. You would probably know him or at least recognize him from detention."

"Ruth. Let's not get into that. What time do you want your table?"

"I thought you said I had to ring Mastriani's?"

"I'll book it as soon as I get in, which should be now can I just point out."

"Okay. Thanks Jess. Can we say eight? Oh yeah and your other 'Job'?"

I walked into the living room under the pretence of getting a jacket.

"Yea I found her she's at…"

It's not like I have to hide it from Ruth. Hello, she knows everything. Apart from where Rob's dad is, but then a girl has got to have some secrets even from her best friend, well I digress. The point is that I wasn't worried about telling Ruth, I knew I was safe. The phone line has been clear for a little while. So telling Ruth in the privacy of my own home? Yea, that's ok. Or so I thought.
