Jackie's Personal Day

Chapter 3: Julie

After a few minutes of browsing the menu, Jackie had decided on what she wanted. A cup of coffee, and an answer to her lingering curiosity. The waitress topped by and took the order, only to head to the kitchen seconds later. 

"Wait a second..." Jackie mumbled before pulling out her phone, a picture of her and a girl that looked similar to the waitress popped up. "I mean....its impossible that I'd run into her at least a decade later....right?" she thought.... "Here's your coffee, darlin'!" The waitress aid handing Jackie her coffee. "Oh...Thanks!" Jackie said grabbing the cup. "I hope this isn't an inconvenience, but I need to talk to you for a sec." the girl continued. The waitress sat down, clueless to Jackie's train of thought. The photo popped up again before Jackie showed the picture to the waitress. "This is a picture of me and my little sister, Julie. Our parents separated 10 years ago and our dad took her while my mom kept me....I've been trying to find her for a long time, but I've always been taken to a dead end..." Jackie said tearing up... The waitress looked at the picture as her face went pale. "Jax?" She whispered under her breath. "I don't know what it is, but you remind me a lot of my sister. You wear the same clothes, the same bracelets, heck even those space bun things!" Jackie continued. She got up from her table and grabbed her coffee. "If you happen to have any answers...let me know..." she sighed before leaving the cafe, completely forgetting that she LEFT HER PHONE BEHIND!

Meanwhile, Matt was in his room while the others were out of commission. He really could care less about what happened earlier, but it was only the beginning of when that feeling of guilt would soon start to eat away at him. "I wonder how Jax is doing?" He thought to himself. "Probably still pissed off at me when all I really wanted was to spend time together. Then the guys go and ditch me too. What's that supposed to be? Some sort of karma?" he snapped before receiving a text from Mariel, "Hey, Matt. Jackie texted me saying she'd be back later tonight. We're heading to this new cafe that opened in a town not too far from here. Want us to get you anything?" the text read. Matt just sighed and texted back. "Just bring back a couple of cookies for me plz." He placed his phone down and plopped on the bed. 

Back in North Oxbour, Mariel and the guys stepped off the bus and got a glimpse of the small town. "Damn... This place is so beautiful..." Inez said in awe. Mariel took a few steps before seeing Jackie off in the distance. "Hey, Jackie is here!" She then tried to wave Jackie down, but didn't get even a passing glance. "She's uh....probably busy." Joseph chimed in. Mariel nodded and made her way into the cafe. Just as she was about to open the door, that waitress from earlier went sprinting out of the cafe, leaving Mariel on the ground. "I think life just flashed before my eyes...." Mariel mumbled...
