Mrs Williams was pacing the sitting room looking at the time every minute, it was getting late and none of her children were back, she looked at her husband who was reading a journal from work.
" do something Andre"
" what? She left the house herself, she'll return when she wants " Anderson Williams asked his wife
" bullshit, that's a fucking theory, you know she was right, don't you? "
" so? I have to work "
" yeah! Work, work, work, WORK! " she yelled " find me my daughter! "
" Amanda! "
She place her hands on her hip and raised one eyebrow at her husband who stood up. " what? They are our responsibility to look after, we need to look after them, give them our full support, make them feel loved "
" I know "
" what if, she's hurt and Jess can't find her " she said and burst out sobbing.
" am sure she is fine " he went to her and hugged his wife " I promise to make amend" he cleaned her watery face and peck her on her lips " now, stop crying "
" am just scared "
" its okay " he brought out his phone and called Jess.
" dad? "
" Jess, have you seen her? "
" yes, but she won't talk to me" he answered
" your mother and I are on our way, where are you? "
Jess told his dad and the line went dead.
" where are they? " Amanda asked
" come on, let's go " Her husband led the wayvout to his car and he drove them to Jess.
Mrs Williams got down from the car and ran over to her children, Jess was standing beside Jessica who ignored them.
" Jessi? "
No answer
" am so sorry baby, your dad and I are sorry, we promise to meet your friend and take role in your life, we love you kids and you will always come first "
" your mom is right Jessi, we love you " Mr Williams bent down in front of her and raised her head up, so she can look at him " sweetheart, I love you and am sorry" he pulled her into his arms.
Jessica held him tight round his neck " am sorry too, for saying all that, am... Am so sorry daddy "
" shhhh, its okay " he carried her bridal style and Mrs Williams kissed her on her hair.
" let's go home then " Mr Williams said " come on son"
Jess drove back home, his mom sat in front with him while Jessica was still in her dad's arms at the back seat.
They went home and Mrs Williams stayed with Jessica till she fell asleep before leaving her room.
Jess was up in his room, typing to his friend but she was not replying, anytime he remembers what Jessica called him " annoying irritating beast " his heart falls in sadness and he feels so helpless.
The following school day, Kristin did not show up in school which got Jessica worried.
At lunch she was toying with her food, Jess also was frustrated, he was worried about his friend and kind of worried about Kristin.
" where is Kristin? " Troy asked
" yeah, I haven't seen her around " Rand nodded.
The guys looked at Jessica including Quinn, Jessica turned to Jess " do you think she is alright? "
" I really don't know" he said abandoning his cellphone.
" is she sick" asked Troy
" let's hope not " said Jess.
The next day, surprisingly Kristin showed up in school, Jessica ran to hug her making Kristin to flinch in pain she gave a fake smile. The guys walked to them and the Williams shared a look.
" missing me already? " Kristin joked
" I was worried sick yesterday when you didn't showed up, are you okay? "
" yes am fine "
" hey, Kristin, welcome back to school " Troy said.
" thanks " she laughed slightly.
The bell rang for first period
" come on let's get to class " Kristin said.
" go ahead, I will meet you there " Jessica said
" bye guys " Kristin left.
" miss us " Rand shouted after her.
" do you guys noticed how pale she looks? " asked Jessica
" yes " Troy said
" is she in pain? " Rand asked in confusion
" that's what I think " Jessica agreed. " what to do now? "
" we will follow her home to be sure" Jess said
" oh thank you " Jessica hugged him " love you, see you guys at lunch " she ran away.
During lunch, Kristin did not show up
" where do you think she is now? " troy asked
" I have no idea" Jessica said tiredly
" maybe you should go look for her " advised Quinn
Jess nodded at Jessica and she left the table.
She couldn't find Kristin, almost giving up she decided to check the library and she found Kristin at the back seat with books on the table.
" Kris? "
" oh, Jessi, " she checked her time " sorry, I did not know its lunch time ".
Jessica nodded studying Kristin as she returned the books.
