A few days later in New York...
"It feels so good to be home." Adrian said kindly.
"Yeah it does...South Carolina was amazing." Omar said happily.
"I know...You helped make it so amazing." Adrian said as she smirked.
"Ha ha...Thank you...I am pretty tired from driving so I'm going to take a nap." Omar said smiling and then tiredly.
"All right...I'll join you soon...I actually have to finish my paper for one of my law classes." Adrian said sweetly and then a little irritated.
"Good luck...I'm sure you'll do great on it." Omar said nicely and he walked into the bedroom.
"We'll see." Adrian said quietly to herself as she turned on her laptop.
A few minutes later Adrian's phone rang.
"Hey Ben...How was Florida?" Adrian said intrigued as she answered her phone.
"Florida was really great...Have you heard from Jack?" Ben said seriously.
"Not recently...Why?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Chloe called me and said that he's been missing for a few days...Dante and Lauren took her home." Ben said honestly.
"Oh no...I wonder where he is...Did you try calling Grace or Ricky?" Adrian said concerned.
"I haven't...but I doubt that they would know where he is." Ben said sadly.
"Maybe...Speaking of them, I noticed that Grace had an engagement ring on when Omar facetimed them a few days ago." Adrian said suspiciously.
"Really? So they're engaged?" Ben said surprised.
"Or they eloped...They were making out without shirts on in the hospital." Adrian said seriously.
"Wow...That's interesting...Heh...I actually talked to Grace earlier this week and she almost said honeymoon but then she said something about Honey, I Shrunk The Kids." Ben said smiling.
"Uh huh...I'm going to figure this out...Grace isn't a very good liar...Anyway, how's Amy?" Adrian said as she smirked and then nicely.
"If anyone can get Grace to spill the truth, it's you...Ha ha...Amy is doing great...She's still a little upset about what you and Omar did...You should talk to her at school." Ben said as he laughed and then honestly.
"Of course she's still upset...Ugh...I'll talk to her at school...I gotta go." Adrian said annoyed.
"All right...Let me know if you hear from Jack...and I'll see ya at school on Monday." Ben said kindly and he hung up.
Adrian sighed and worked on her paper.
Meanwhile at the grocery store...
Amy was getting some food when she ran into Jimmy.
"Hey Jimmy...Thank you for the blender...It's really nice." Amy said sweetly.
"You're welcome, Amy...How was your spring break?" Jimmy said kindly.
"It was amazing! Florida is really nice...How was yours?" Amy said happily.
"That's awesome! My spring break was pretty chill...I hung out here and helped my grandma." Jimmy said nicely.
"That's good...I can't believe this semester is almost over." Amy said smiling.
"Yeah...It's gone by pretty quick...Do you have any fun plans for the summer?" Jimmy said intrigued.
"We'll be back in LA for most of the summer...Ricky is going to want to see John." Amy said seriously.
"Gotcha...Maybe we can do something before you go back." Jimmy said happily.
"Sure...After finals would be good." Amy said kindly.
"Sweet...I'll see ya later." Jimmy said smiling and he walked away from Amy.
Meanwhile in LA...
Chloe was trying to call Jack but he didn't answer.
"Hey Chloe...Have you heard from Jack?" Leo said concerned.
"No...I've tried calling, texting, and emailing him...He hasn't answered." Chloe said worried.
"I wonder where he is...His parents have been looking for him with some cops." Leo said seriously.
"Yeah...Hopefully they'll find him...I can't believe he left without telling someone where he was going." Chloe said sadly.
"Don't worry too much...Jack's a good guy." Leo said nicely.
"Thanks Leo...I should probably get my things ready to go back to school." Chloe said sweetly.
"No problem...If you need some clothes washed, Camille can wash them for ya." Leo said kindly.
"Sounds good...Are you going to pay for that one guy's fine?" Chloe said intrigued.
"I don't think so...I don't know him even though he's related to one of Lauren's friends...If he wants to work at the butcher shop, I would be happy to offer him a job." Leo said honestly.
"That makes sense...Wait...maybe Jack tried to bail Tim out of jail." Chloe said curiously.
"Why would he do that?" Leo said intrigued.
"Because he wants to help him...Who knows where he is...I'm sure he'll show up eventually." Chloe said seriously.
"We'll see...I have some paperwork to do so I'll talk to you later, Chloe." Leo said nicely and he walked out of Chloe's room.
Meanwhile at the mall...
"That chicken was delicious." Kathy said happily.
"Yeah it was...Ha ha...I need to use the bathroom." Ethan said smiling and he got up from the table.
"Hey Kathy." A familiar voice said from behind Kathy.
"Chase? What are you doing here?" Kathy said surprised as she turned around.
"I'm just doing some shopping for my girlfriend." Chase said as he smirked.
"Wait...You have a girlfriend now?" Kathy said shocked.
"Yeah...Ha ha...Are you jealous?" Chase said intrigued.
"Of course not...Heh...I love Ethan." Kathy said as she blushed.
"Right...Keep telling yourself that, kid...Let me know if you two don't work out." Chase said seriously.
"Uh...What? Are you kidding? I thought you were over me." Kathy said a little irritated.
"How could I get over you? You're beautiful." Chase said smiling as he touched Kathy's cheek.
"Um...I have to go." Kathy said awkwardly and she started to walk away from Chase.
"Kathy...Wait...Please give me one more chance." Chase said desperately.
"What about your girlfriend?" Kathy said annoyed.
"I just said that to see if it would make you jealous." Chase said sadly.
"You're pathetic, you know that?" Kathy said meanly.
"What about you? You're judging me." Chase said defensively.
"Ugh...I have a good reason to...You hurt me." Kathy said annoyed.
"I know and I'm sorry." Chase said sincerely.
"Forget it...Find someone else." Kathy said seriously and she walked away from Chase.
Ethan walked out of the bathroom and he saw Kathy.
"Hey...Are you ready to go?" Ethan said kindly.
"Yeah...I have some homework to do." Kathy said a little irritated.
"Me too...Are you ok?" Ethan said concerned.
"I'm fine...Let's go." Kathy said seriously and she grabbed Ethan's hand.
Meanwhile at Brandon's house...
"Hey Brandon...You're finally home." Callie said sweetly as she walked into Brandon's room.
"Yeah...I had a great week with Rebecca." Brandon said happily.
"Really? What did you two do?" Callie said intrigued.
"Went to a party, hung out at her house, had a guy arrested for trespassing...You know...regular stuff." Brandon said seriously as he smiled.
"Oh yeah...Stef told me about it...I'm glad that guy got what he deserved." Callie said honestly.
"So am I...He was a real jerk." Brandon said annoyed.
"No kidding...You really like Rebecca?" Callie said kindly.
"Yes I do...She's a really great girl." Brandon said nicely.
"But...she's not me?" Callie said concerned.
"No...and that's ok because I am over you." Brandon said seriously.
"Are you sure?" Callie said surprised.
"Yeah...You're my sister now...are things not going well with Wyatt?" Brandon said intrigued.
"Right...Um...Things are pretty great with Wyatt...I just don't know when I'll be ready to take that next step with him because of Liam." Callie said worried.
"I see...Well...I'm sure he'll be ready for that next step whenever you are." Brandon said nicely and he pulled Callie into a hug.
"Thanks Brandon...I missed you." Callie said sweetly.
"I missed you too...and I'll always be here to help you." Brandon said happily as he rubbed Callie's back.
"And I'll be here for you...Heh...I have some homework to do so I'll see ya at dinner." Callie said smiling as she let go of Brandon.
"Cool...I have some music to work on." Brandon said smiling and Callie left Brandon's room.
Next Brandon heard a noise come from his window. He opened it and saw Rebecca.
"Rebecca? What are you doing here?" Brandon said shocked.
"Do you want to go to the beach?" Rebecca said loudly.
"I would but I have some stuff to do...Maybe we can go next weekend." Brandon said honestly.
"All right...I hope you have a good day! See ya Brandon!" Rebecca said sweetly.
"Wait...Do you want to help me write a song?" Brandon said intrigued.
"I would love to." Rebecca said nicely.
"Awesome...You can come in through the back." Brandon said kindly and he closed his window as Rebecca went to the back.
Meanwhile at Duncan's apartment...
"All right Jack...It's time for you to go man." Duncan said seriously.
"Are you sure? I really don't want to go." Jack said sadly.
"Ha ha...I appreciate you stopping by but I need to get to work." Duncan said nicely.
"Ok...I'll see ya later, Duncan." Jack said kindly as he walked by the door.
"What made you want to come see me, anyway?" Duncan said intrigued.
"I just felt like seeing, you...a lot of crazy stuff has been going on with my friends and I just needed a break from it." Jack said honestly.
"Right...Grace getting shot is pretty crazy...At least she recovered...You should go see her." Duncan said seriously.
"Uh...I don't know about that...She's probably jet lagged from being in Hawaii." Jack said concerned.
"Oh yeah...Good luck with everything, man...I'll see ya later." Duncan said smiling.
"You too...See ya." Jack said smiling and he left.
Meanwhile at Ricky's apartment...
"Ahh...I am so glad that I don't have to work today." Ricky said relieved as he put his arms around Grace.
"Me too...Heh...My arm feels so much better." Grace said sweetly.
"That's good to know...Heh...You know...we haven't done anything in this bed yet." Ricky said seductively.
"Yeah...Um...Do you think Adrian is going to tell anyone about my ring?" Grace said concerned.
"She probably will...There's no point in hiding it since we had a pretty nice time in Hawaii except for you getting shot." Ricky said kindly and then sadly.
"Heh...I know...What do you know? She's calling me now." Grace said happily as she grabbed her phone.
"Tell her." Ricky said nicely and Grace answered her phone.
"Hey Grace...I'm about to lay down with Omar...What's up with the ring? I know it was on your left hand." Adrian said seriously.
"Hey Adrian...This is probably going to surprise you but...Ricky and I got married in Hawaii before I got shot." Grace said honestly.
"I knew it! Why didn't you just tell me the truth earlier?" Adrian said smiling and then concerned.
"We wanted to keep it a secret until we came back to LA...Heh...Surprise." Grace said sweetly.
"Uh huh...Congratulations! How was it?" Adrian said nicely as she smirked.
"The wedding was really romantic...on the beach." Grace said kindly.
"That's nice...but I was talking about...you know." Adrian said quietly.
"Oh...Heh...It was...incredible." Grace said smiling.
"Ricky's laying right next to you, isn't he?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Yeah...Ha ha...How was your trip?" Grace said awkwardly.
"Don't worry...We can talk about details later...South Carolina was a lot of fun...except for finding out about Tony...Ben also called me earlier...He said that Jack is missing." Adrian said smiling and then seriously.
"I know finding out about Tony was hard...What do you mean Jack is missing?" Grace said sincerely and then concerned.
"He left and no one knows where he is...Chloe told Ben that...You haven't seen him?" Adrian said worried.
"No I haven't...Ricky and I got back last night...I wonder where he went." Grace said curiously.
"I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later...Can I talk to Ricky?" Adrian said kindly.
"I hope so...Yes you can." Grace said smiling and she gave Ricky her phone.
"Hey Adrian...Jack's missing?" Ricky said concerned.
"Yeah...I'm sure he'll show up eventually." Adrian said sadly.
"Hmm...He probably will...So...did Amy apologize to you about the John incident?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Not yet...I'm going to talk to her at school on Monday...But...you forgive me, right?" Adrian said nicely.
"I guess...It's not the worst thing that you've done." Ricky said a little irritated.
"Ha ha...Yeah...So...why did you decide to elope?" Adrian said sweetly.
"Since Hawaii is really romantic, I thought it would be the best place to marry Grace." Ricky said happily.
"I see...but why did you do it now?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Because I love her...and I was tired of waiting." Ricky said seriously.
"Tired of waiting to...have sex with Grace?" Adrian said suspiciously.
"No! Grace is the love of my life and I'm ready to be committed to her." Ricky said firmly.
"Ok, ok...Calm down Ricky...I didn't mean to get you upset." Adrian said calmly.
"This is why I didn't want to tell you." Ricky said as he rolled his eyes.
"Excuse me? Grace almost told Ben that you two were on your honeymoon or something." Adrian said defensively.
"You know what, Adrian? That doesn't matter because we are going to tell everyone that we got married...And nothing is going to change that." Ricky said firmly.
"I think you should tell everyone...I'm sure they'll be really happy to hear that...Especially your parents and Grace's family." Adrian said honestly.
"Yeah...I hope so...Talk to you later." Ricky said annoyed and he hung up.
"Are you ok?" Grace said concerned.
"I will be after we tell everyone that we eloped." Ricky said after he took a deep breath.
"Me too...Hopefully it will go well." Grace said nicely.
"We'll see...Since when does anything go well for me?" Ricky said sternly.
"What's that supposed to mean? You were in a good mood before Adrian called." Grace said a little irritated.
"Nothing...She just got on my nerves and...I really want to find the jerk who shot you." Ricky said seriously.
"Rob's dad has been looking for him...and he'll call us as soon as they find him...Everything is going to be fine, Ricky." Grace said nicely.
"Thanks Grace...I know that God will help us get through this." Ricky said as he smiled.
"He will...I love you." Grace said happily.
"I love you too." Ricky said kindly and he gave Grace a long kiss.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Grace said as she got out of bed.
Ricky looked at his phone and got a text message that read:
You lucky sob...I almost had you but Grace was in the way...You can run but you can't hide.
"Oh no...I'm screwed." Ricky said worried.
Grace opened the door and saw Jack.
"Hey Grace...Can I come in?" Jack said nicely.
"Jack? What are you doing here? Adrian told me that you were missing." Grace said surprised as she moved away from the door way.
"Yeah...I was at Duncan's house for a couple days...I had to talk to him about some stuff...I know that I should have told Chloe where I was going." Jack said honestly as he walked in.
"Yes you should have...What did you talk to Duncan about?" Grace said intrigued as they sat on the couch.
"He got shot not that long ago and we talked about it as well as Shawna...She's been doing good...and I told him that you got shot." Jack said seriously.
"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that...Is he ok?" Grace said concerned.
"Duncan's fine...And you look all right except for the bandages all over your arm...Wait...Is that an engagement ring?" Jack said nicely and then surprised as he looked at Grace's left hand.
"Heh...Thanks...Actually...it's an engagement and wedding ring...Ricky and I eloped in Hawaii." Grace said sweetly.
"Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations!" Jack said happily.
"Thank you...We had a beautiful wedding." Grace said nicely.
"I bet...Hawaii looks really beautiful...So are you two going to have a wedding with friends and family?" Jack said smiling and then intrigued.
"Yes we are...I'm not sure when though." Grace said kindly.
"I see...I'm really happy for you two." Jack said as he frowned.
"You don't seem that happy...What's wrong Jack?" Grace said worried.
"Why did you accept my proposal?" Jack said honestly.
It seems like it's been forever since I updated this story! Ha ha! I decided that I am going to do one more chapter for it. However, I will be making a sequel for it! What is Grace going to say next? At least Jack is ok. What is everyone else going to think when they find out about Ricky's and Grace's marriage? Will Amy forgive Adrian? Will Amy do something with Jimmy before the summer? Will Leo offer Brad a job at the butcher shop? Will Chase find someone else or is he not going to give up on Kathy? At least Ricky forgave Adrian. Who texted Ricky? Will Rob's dad find the guy who shot Grace? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
