HAPPY 50th CHAPPIE!!!!
"Thank you so much again" I say to Luke. He had offered to drive us, since i still had a cast and Jack was in no condition to drive.
"No problem Els" he smiles.
"No really man, thanks. I owe you" Jack says and does a weird handshake with him. He begins to drive off. "Bye!" He shouts.
"Bye!" Jack and I say together and we begin to walk.
"So where is this place again?" He asks.
"Just down the street" I say.
"And you're sure he's okay with us staying there."
"Don't worry Jack, his exact words were-"
"ME CASA IS YOUR CASA!" Trevor says opening the door. "Only until you find your own place" he says walking down the front steps.
"Trevor" I smile.
"Hello, hello, hello!" He says excited taking the luggage from our hands.
"You look great" I smile.
"Thank you, you too" he says then states at Jack for a while. "Bad Trevor" he says to himself. "That's Elsas bae, not yours" he walks back in the house and Jack gives me an unsure look before following him. We walk in and Trevor's place is crazy. He had at least 4 birds flying around and 3 chihuahuas. "It's a little crazy but it's still home."
We follow him around the multicolored home, until we reach a door. "Elsie, Jackie, baby Jelsa, this is where you'll be staying" he says and opens the door to reveal a nice guest room. It was simple, and had colorful carpets and paintings. "Make yourselves at home, I know you need help finding a place, so I've already started. By the way, there are two houses I want you guys to go see tomorrow."
"Thank you so much Trevor" I say and hug him.
"No problem Els, dinner is at 5, I'll be in my office if you need anything" he says and walks out closing the door.
"I didn't know you guys stayed in touch" Jack said.
"Me neither, apparently the crash was on the news and he recognized the plane" Jack drops himself onto the bed and sighs.
"Finally, an actual bed" I giggle and walk over and lie next to him. He turns over so he's facing me. "Are we making the right choice?" He asks.
"I don't know" I say he chuckles and brushes the back of his hand against my cheek. "Baby Jelsa?" He questions.
"I think he wants us to name it that" I laugh.
"That's a horrible name."
"Better than Ella" I joke. He frowns and closes his eyes.
"I love you" he says.
"You've been saying that a lot lately."
"Because even if I say a billion times, it won't even come close to how much I really do love you."
"I love you" I say. He smiles and puts his hands around my waste pulling me closer. He placed a kiss on my forehead and holds me tight, as if I was the only thing that could save him.

"Now if you look down the street you'll notice a grade school, the same one you two went to when you were younger" the real estate agent says.
"You know our grade school?"
"Are you kidding me? I research all my clients, but everybody knows about you two, Elsa Dale, daughter of commonly owner, John Dale II. Jack Frost, son of Olympic champ, Manny Moon."
"Manny Moon?" I ask Jack.
"Great grandfather" he says. "And he won a bronze medal."
"Not according to Google" the agent says and continues to walk. "There are three bedrooms, and one Master bedroom."
"Kid number 1, kid number 2 and kid number" Jack whispers to me.
"Let's focus on one for now" I say.
"Also, two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs" he continues. "Lovely neighborhood, and the home comes with 4 acres of land"
"Pool?" Jack asks.
"Sadly, no pool."
"I hate pools" we both says at the same time.
"In that case, gladly, there's no pool. The house is up for 104 thousand. So what do you folks think?" Jack and I look at each other and ask for some privacy. The agent nods and we walk into the beautiful master bedroom.
"It's a lot of money" I say.
"We can do it, the other house was around the same price and wasn't nearly as big as this one."
"Yeah, but the other one was furnished, and plus, we also need to buy new clothes, and you can't work, and all of the hospital bills."
"Elsa, we can do this" he says. "Sure there are some things that need to be fixed but I got it. Look, I have around 40 thousand in my savings and 10 on my bank account. We can use that to pay the hospital bills."
"Jack, the bills came up to 200 thousand"
"Okay, so we can use that money to furnish the house and buy all the necessities" he insists. "I'll even beg for my job back."
"You can't work for another 2 months"
"But when I do, we'll use that money to pay off the hospital bills" he says then walks over to me. "Please, just trust me" I look up at him and think. It's a risk but if we try hard enough we could do it.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He smiles widely and nods. "Fine, we'll put a deposit on it. But Jack, you really need to try, this isn't a game."
"What am four?"
"Yes" I smile.
