Afterwards when Jay got home from Naia's house, she checked her phone and saw she had emails. Jay opened it up surprised to see it was from Chris. It read. " Hey Jay this is Chris. If your not Jay please delete this message." Jay replied back to Chris and he immediately responded.

Jay laid on her bed and thought of the past few days. Moments later someone knocked on her room door.

Yes? Jay called out.

Can I come in? It was her mother. " Why she didn't tell me she gets off early today. " Jay thought. Yeah.

Hey sweetie.

Hi mom. Why you didn't tell me you get off of work early today?

Oh no, there was a robbery across the street so the policemen wanted everyone to evacuate the area.

Still. Why didn't you tell me.

I was on lunch break and when I can back the director ordered everyone to go home so I left. I didn't even know you were home I thought you were at Naia's or Kevin. Speaking of Kevin that reminds me, did you tell your father?

Nope.
