I was still worried about Jade. She hasn't talked to anyone but Naomi since she got back from our house. It was Sunday afternoon and Jade wasn't awake yet. Our just hadn't come out of Naomi's room yet. It worried me.

I decided to go check on her. I went over to Naomi's room, knocking on the door before entering. "Jade? What happened...?" I asked more calm the I'd usually be. She didn't answer. She seemed very off. "Jade? Please talk to me", I asked, sitting next to her. She turned to face me and her eyes were red and puffy. Her face was soaked with tears. "Hey hey, don't cry...", I mumble, pulling her into a hug.

I held her for a while. She seemed so upset and I want sure if she'd ever tell me what was wrong. I layed her back down a covered her with a blanket.

I went downstairs and Naomi was eating in the kitchen and Brendan was playing games with Joel. I walked over to Naomi, "What the fuck happened to Jade??" I spoke quietly, eager for an answer. She didn't give me one. It was really frustrating. I just wanted to he able to help her in some way but no one would tell me what the hell happened to her.

I went and sat next to Brendan. We were gonna have to go home tonight. None of us wanted to go back to that house but we can't stay here forever. Ma was gonna pick us up later. I just wanted to stay here. It felt safer here. I'd much rather call this home.
