JARRED
He walks into his closet again and searches for them. Groaning Jarred makes his way to Jasons room.
"Do you take my shoes again?" He asks.
Jason spins in his chair and faces him. There's an incomplete line of eyeliner on his left eye.
"What are you talking about?" He says.
"My shoes. The black ones?"
Jason rolls his eyes.
"You would be surprised to hear this but no Jarred I didn't take them"
Jarred leaves him to his make-up and goes to Jennas broken door.
"Do you have my shoes?"
She walks past him.
"Nope"
Jason walks out and the three of them make their way down the stairs.
"Maybe you left them in the..."
Jennas words die in her mouth when she sees what's happening in the kitchen.
"Hey guys" Jacob says smilling.
Elena is next to him and behind them the table is full of plates of food. Food the threr siblings know all too well.
"Oh no" Jason says.
Jacobs smile dies and is replaced by a very confused expression.
"What?" Elena asks.
Jarred meets Jason eye and then Jennas.
"Waffles and ice cream..." Jason says.
"Croissants stuffed with chocolate..." Jenna continues.
"And blueberry muffins" Jarred adds.
Jacob looks at his wife who mirrors his expression.
"Still not seeing the problem" Elena says.
Jarred continues his decent with his siblings following behind him.
"Everytime you get Leo to make us our favourite breakfast it's always before you give us bad news" he says.
"Like you're both leaving to some really far away country for 3 weeks"
"Sometimes 4" Jason says pulling out a chair.
"Or that you're going to miss 2 out of the 3 birthdays this year" Jarred adds.
Elena and Jacob frown painfully aware of their childrens words.
"Well-"
"Let me guess" Jenna cuts in "After millions of tests and trial runs you've perfected your kidney drug. So now you're leaving to go hand it out for free in a country with really shitty healthcare" she says and takes a bite of her croissant.
"Spot on honey" Elena says taking a seat deciding to give up on the rouse.
"How long will it take this time?" Jenna asks.
Jacob leans over on a chair and sighs.
"6 weeks"
Jarred chokes on his coffee.
"6 weeks?"
"You have got to be kidding" Jenna says.
"We know it's a long time-" Jacob begins.
"Understatement of the year" Jason says.
"But...we also know that you guys can take care of yourselves." Elena says.
