Jett's pov:

I walk into Emma cooking dinner. "Back already?" She asks, I nod. "Your suddenly mute? Huh?"

"I'm fine Emma, honest." Not honest, I pretty sure I saw my father. You think I wanted to leave the boys? I just couldn't face him if it was even him, I haven't seen an updated picture of him sense I was little.

"Alright. Your mom's been really tired today."

"She was put on new meds today, that's probably why. What are you making?"

"Hamburger pasta."

"Come again?"

"It's a family thing, back home when our family my 2 brother, 5 sisters, grandparents and mom." I wish I had a big family like hers. "I would make this and some tea. We would watch a movie and the next day we all feel so much better. Thought it would be a good my first day dish."

"I think it's prefect, need help?"

"You don't have too."

"I want too. I can crop things, stir things, I'm really good at that second one." She laughs. "Come on put me to work. Come on!"

"I don't know what that last part was but here." She hands me a knife and a bag off potatoes. "4 pieces each potato, if that makes sense."

"Yeah it does." I start cutting up potatoes, there was a knock on the door. I look at Emma. "Can you get that's my hands feel weird."

"Yeah." She goes to the door as I wash my hands. "It's for you."

"Who is it?"

"2 boys, Boris and Theo?" Did they follow me or something?

"I'll be right there." I dry my hands and jogged to the door. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We have to tell you something." Theo says, his face red. I looked between them, Boris looked mad, Theo looked confused and nervous. Emma goes back to the kitchen and I step outside as I close the door behind me.

"Is everything ok?"

"Your father's a bartered." Boris mumbles under this breath, I assume he forgot I also speak Russian.

"My father?"

"Huh? Shit, I forgot you speak Russian."

"When did you talk to my father!?"

"He came up to us after you walked away." My guess was correct, now he's got my friends wrapped in his shit.

"He said he wanted to talk to you and that he would be staying at that hotel into town." Theo says.

"Did he say what for?" I asked.

"No."

"I'll go tomorrow, see what he has to say."

"We'll come with you." Boris says.

"Yeah, yeah! That would be great. Wanna stay for dinner?"

"I got time."

"I could eat." Theo follows, we go back inside.

"Emma we got enough for 2 more?" I ask.

"I think we could spare some, if they help." She calls back.

"Great idea!" We walk into the kitchen, we help her cook. When it was ready I woke my mom up and we all ate, laughing, joking, I didn't have a worry in the world. I've found people that get me and help me through my problems. I've found my family, I hope everything stays like this forever. After dinner the boys went home, Emma, mom and I watched 2 movies and went to bed. Emma slept in the spare you that didn't have a bed yet but a old, pull out bed. I went in the check on her. "Are you sure you don't want to just share my bed?"

"I need to get used to my surroundings."

"Your gonna have a terrible sleep on that thing."

"I'll be fine, Jett."

"We'll get you a bed soon I promise."

"Thank you. Good night."

"Sweet dreams." I go back to my room and fell asleep.
