      "Get some rest." She nodded and slowly fell asleep.

      A week later, Crystal was well enough to be released. Robert had taken the day off to take them to his home and show them around. She was a bit nervous. What if they don't like her or what if her father does find her and something happens? Jon gently took her hand as he sensed her discomfort and gently kissed her head.
     "It's okay. Nothing is going to happen." She nodded as she felt a bit relieved to have her older brother with her. Rob came in and smiled at them.
     "You two ready?" He asked. They nodded as Jon smiled and followed Rob to his car. "You can take the back, Crystal. And Jon as well if you're not comfortable being alone." She nodded and went into the back as Jon went on the other side. Rob smiled as he got into the drivers side, buckled up, and drove off. "I contacted my older brother, Ace. He said he'll come here tonight. His boyfriend, Juan, is also coming. You two are welcome to stay as long as you get settled in and find a place." He smiled.
     "Thanks Rob. I'll definitely repay you for this."
     "No need." He smiled. "My parents are very kind and they understand. You two can share a room as well. The beds are big enough." Crystal nodded and smiled a little. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad..
