I got some dates/ days wrong in the last few chapters. Anyway, they started driving towards Ashe on Friday afternoon and were in Ashe pretty much in the middle of the night between Friday and Saturday. They met the Taylor's Saturday forenoon. And there you have it… They're not going to be driving the whole way in one day going back. And I don't really know how far it is in between Ashe and Lima but let's say it happened the way I just told you- thank you.

"The weird thing is though…" When we came back from Ashe on Sunday afternoon the first thing I did was to get to the Hudmel's and I and Lex went for a walk with Ariel. "…None of us really expected for a baby to be born with the same condition… with Carmichael's syndrome. And the thing is now… It doesn't feel real. Like I spent all my life knowing Jonah was the only one with Carmichael Syndrome, it's even named after him for Christ's sake…. And now there's… there's just something with me that doesn't want to let me understand that that's changed now."

"Are you okay?" Lex thought and if I hadn't been so far gone in my own thoughts I would have heard a very distressed tone in her voice. "I mean after all… you must feel like you become a bit forgo…" I ignored her trying to say something and just continued babbling.

"Like I thought that if I ever would find out somebody else had Carmichael's syndrome it would be this huge deal. They would take in Jonah for like a million different tests to test if it was the same and God knows what else. We'd have doctors all over the house for weeks… But we made that visit to Ashe and met Justin, Lyssa and Victor and… everything is just simply… normal! And everything is like it was before… It was almost like I thought if there was another case of CMS then the whole Universe would blow up or something like that."

"Can you imagine what it would look like if the universe blew up?"

"Lex, not the point."

"I know… I know what you mean. But when things do happen for you, it's just that for most others it's just another day and the sun keeps on going up and down and the earth keeps on spinning. What more than that do you need to know actually?"

"It's just been a few days since I found Jack with that…" I cleared my throat and hesitated about the right word. "…other girl. But with everything that's happened with Jonah and Justin and going to Ashe and back. It felt as if should be a thousand years ago."

Not even had I finished saying what I did before I felt my phone buzzed. I pulled my right glove off and put Ariel's leash into my left hand while I pulled up my phone and read it.

Leah, can we please talk. I love you
-Jack

"I wouldn't think so…" I deleted the conversation in between me and Jack and blocked him on Facebook if only that could stop him from sending more messages. "…So how was your weekend?"

"Are you sure you're gonna go to school tomorrow Jonah?" Mum asked , a bit worriedly right before I and Jonah went to bed that Sunday night. "You did have a busy weekend. Don't you think you should stay home, take a day off and get some rest?"

"I spent like ninety percent of this weekend getting some rest in the back seat of the car mum." Jonah joked back. "Don't worry. We'll see how I feel in the morning and if I don't feel well enough then I won't go okay?"

"I know you Jonah. You'll go either way just to prove you can. And I want nothing of that tomorrow okay?"

"Goodnight mum."

"Promise?"

After that was only silence between my mum and brother. I smiled and shook my head. Sometimes I wondered if mum would ever do something else than worry for Jonah. Maybe it would be better if they… Like Jonah wanted anyway. Let go off things and just were for a while.

They could just as well have done that anyway. Because the next morning (Monday, ugh) Jonah was as good as skipping up and down.

"I'm feeling gre-at. I'm feeling gre-at…" Jonah sang when he as good as jumped through the hallway in our house to leave for school. "MUM. I'M FEELING GREAT."

"That's good honey…" Mum came out into the hallway. "Just don't trust that…"

"Yeah yeah. Bla bla bla. I'll take care of myself, don't you worry so much."

"I'll always worry about you JoJo."

Jonah only grimaced at mum's silly nickname for him. (He wouldn't tell her stop calling him that for anything in the world) Gave mum a quick hug and then walked out into the car while I hadn't even put my shoes on.

"COME ON LEAH."

I smiled at Jonah pretending to be in a rush for God knows what reason. Then stood up, gave mum a quick hug, grabbed my bag and hurried after Jonah.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

On our way to school both I and Jonah's phones beeped with getting messages. It wasn't hard to guess that we got the same, I pulled it up. And seeing it was about the glee club I read it out loud to Jonah who, still smiling leaned back in his seat and patted Ari's back.

Can you all meet me in the choir room in ten minutes? It's only for a minute
-Tyler B.

"That's weird." Jonah shrugged while he stepped out of the car. "Did anyone ever ask to meet the glee club in the morning before?" I shook my head. "And why didn't Mr. Schue do it on his own?" We went to our lockers and hung the jackets in there and got our books for the first class, before we went to the choir room and seemed to be the last ones there.

Except for Mr. Tyler B himself.

"Do you know what it is Lex?" I looked to my side. "He is your boyfriend after all." Lex smiled at that last. But had to yawn and so only shrugged. "And why isn't he even hear yet when he's the one who asked us to be here…"

"I've spoken with Mr. Schuester, he called me earlier and he asked me to tell you…" Tyler announced as he ran into the room seeming sweaty and tired. "He's out with the flu so no glee club this week." I heard Jonah next to me. "He'll try to make it here on Friday and announce what will be the theme for next week. But him being well enough to make it here before that was unlikely. Sorry I have to go…"

Tyler left the room again and the rest of the new directions were left sitting around the chairs. I didn't know about the others. But as for Jonah it did seem almost as if the world was ending, I felt quite disappointed too. But oh well, there'd be more weeks… and classes, which started in half a minute.

"I was in such a good mood." Jonah pouted like a little child and crossed his arms over his chest. "Now that's all ruined. I want new directions. I want glee club."

"Can you imagine you actually weren't going to join the glee club at all?" I looked up on my brother and remembered. "You were only helping me to audition… But… If we want to sit and chat I think we're going to have to do that…" The bell rang. "…later."

And then as I turned around in the hallway only to be able to see Jonah walking in the other direction. I was happier than ever that just Jonah Eric Nathaniel Carmichael was my one and only big brother.

Boring chapter I know. But I decided that that would be the best part to end it. And I'd sometimes rather put up anything at all than nothing. As well as this chapter was needed to get into the future of the story… am I kind of talking in riddles to you?

Random fact

Years ago I noted the dates for all the weeks in this story. Then started deleting the top lines as I did one week after the other. This week was made so it didn't have any glee club at all for one reason only. I could never think of a theme that suited.

Next week however- well… you'll have to wait and see.
