After that initial awkwardness that would come with sharing lips with both Katalina and Alicia, Jade actually found it quite exciting. Of course, they wouldn't be doing that when Alicia's mom would come into the room, obviously spying on them, making sure nothing was going on. Obviously something was, but she had no idea exactly what, did she? ALicia's mom probably just thought that Jade was being the third wheel while Katalina and Alicia would occasionally share some make-out sessions while Jade took to beating the crap out of Sub-Zero on Mortal Kombat using one of her favorites, Scorpian. God she loved that one. As Alicia's mom came into the living room and told the girls that she ordered pizza, she subtly asked if they were staying. [color=e62020][b]"Hell yeah I am!"[/b][/color] Jade said bluntly. [color=e62020][b]"I mean, yeah, pizza sounds great,"[/b][/color] Jade said, quickly recovering from her rather blunt, honest remark. When Alicia's mom left to the kitchen, Jade was continuing ruling at Mortal Kombat until Alicia suddenly spoke of something not so good. Tessa had been kidnapped. Jade turned her head, hearing the noise from the game saying FINISH HIM! But she didn't. Tessa was gone, kidnapped — whatever it was, she was gone, and video games were the least of the worries for Jade.  [color=e62020][b]"What?"[/b][/color] Jade asked, trying to keep her voice as low as she possibly could. She looked to both Katalina and Alicia, trying to gauge their expressions on exactly what just happened. As she looked at them, Jade heard her phone ring. [color=e62020][b]"Oh what now?”[/b][/color] She took it out, and saw that Jay also texted her, saying the same thing. [color=e62020][b]"Well, seems like Nina isn't the only one who knows. Jay just texted me. Seems like it was just down the road."[/b][/color] Jade rubbed her temples, typing back to Jay. [quote=Jade][b]To:[/b] Jay [color=e62020]Got discharged today. I am here with Alicia and Kata. Alicia is kind of on house arrest. Might need your warmhole powers to get us out.[/color][/quote] Jade had finished typing, setting her phone in her lap. She sat there thinking for a moment, looking at both Katalina and ALicia briefly. It was about a minute before she realized that she would have to text someone else. Taking out her phone, she started texting. [quote=Jade][b]To:[/b] Grant [color=e62020]Hey, in case you haven't heard already, Tessa's missing. I'm sure Nina probably texted you, but yeah, just in case you didn't know already.[/color][/quote] Jade sent that text to Grant, hoping that the more people that knew, the better the chance of finding her. Wow, apparently having talks with Jay and Scout were a lot better for Jade than she originally thought. Who knew?[hr] [hr] [center][url=http://imgur.com/bjhXUTY][img]http://i.imgur.com/bjhXUTY.png[/img][/url] [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/9oCbhUPcGq9Z6/giphy.gif[/img] [b][u]Location[/u][/b] The Woods — With Group II [b][u]Interacting With[/u][/b]Alice Malone via voice message and text message [@Undine], Jade Taylor via text, and the rest of his family minus Wesley [hr] [hr][/center] When Grant woke up this morning, he found himself feeling a lot better than the night previous. After all of that crying and confiding in Alice, he was feeling good about this morning. He woke up, did his usual morning rituals: he took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on a suitable morning outfit. Before he would go downstairs to join his family, he grabbed his phone, and started to call Alice. As the rings went on, it was obvious to Grant that he was going to get a voice message. That was okay. He would simply leave one. When he heard the beep, he started talking. [color=844dff][b]“Hey Alice, it’s Grant. I didn’t say it last night because I was too much of a wreck, but I just wanted to say thank you for last night. I couldn’t have made it last night without you, so thank you. I hope to see you soon. Bye!“[/b][/color] Grant finished, putting his phone in his pocket, and joined his family downstairs for breakfast. Everything that he loved was prepared: eggs, hash browns, bacon, pancakes, and a fruit salad. Every single one of his siblings were there — even Thomas, which Grant was surprised since he had just got Tenure at a major hospital in Seattle, his mother was there, and both of his grandparents were there. The only person that seemed to be absent was his father, Wesley Wells. They ate breakfast in moderate conversation. Most of it was just about how crime recently was spiking, and the events of that party and just the fallout. Grant was relatively quiet. Everyone knew why he was. With Olivia pretty much telling him that she was moving to Nevada because of how worried her parents were and then with Alice dropping him off, and him confiding in her. They all knew that he wasn’t going to be speaking much, but that was okay. They didn’t press him. He would occasionally join the conversation here and there, but for the most part, Grant kept to himself, eating his breakfast in moderate silence. Just about when everyone was done, they each put their plates into the sink, and as noted by Jack before everyone sat down to eat, they all joined each other in the family room(the first left when you walk into the Wells’ House). Everyone took a seat in the chairs and couches that surrounded a centerpiece, wooden table. Jack, sitting where Wesley usually sat, cleared his throat. [b]“I’m sure everyone here is wondering why I called for this family meeting after breakfast.”[/b] [b][color=00a651]“It’s rather obvious, isn’t it?”[/color][/b] Adam said, shifting in his seat. [color=black][b]“Oh? Enlighten us, Adam. What do you think this is about?”[/b][/color] Thomas inquired of his brother. [color=00a651][b]“Something happened to father, and grandpa wants to make sure we’re [I]alright[/I].”[/b][/color] Adam said, rolling his eyes somewhat. [color=black][b]“Okay, so if that’s true, then why don’t you go ahead and tell us, grandfather.”[/b][/color] Thomas looked to both his brother and Jack. [b]“Your brother’s right, Thomas. Something did happen to your father.”[/b] Jack cleared his throat, shifting forward in the chair he was sitting in, [b]“after that altercation with Grant, and after you four,”[/b] he looked to Grant, Ava, Adam, and Danielle, [b]“took his car, he and I had a discussion about you guys, about your mother, and about what I knew all along about how he treated you guys. He knew he had a problem, so he went to go get help.”[/b] [color=844dff][b]“Help?”[/b][/color] Grant said, surprising everyone. [b]“He went on a journey, so to speak. He checked himself into an Anger Management facility in Vancouver. Frankly, he had done it a few weeks ago, but put it off because of work.”[/b] [color=00a99d][b]“So, he’s getting help. For what? Being a wife-beater? A child-beater?”[/b][/color] Ava said, obviously disgusted with the whole topic. [color=f49ac2][b]“Ava Brianna Wells!”[/b][/color] Amy said sharply, eyes narrowing at Ava. [color=00a99d][b]“What? We all know it’s true. Him going to some anger management classes or whatever isn’t going to change the fact that he beat us.”[/b][/color] Ava said, about to stand up. [b]“No, but the fact he recognizes that he needs help is a start.”[/b] JAck said, simply sipping his tea. [color=00a99d][b]“Grandfather, you can’t--”[/b][/color] [color=black][b]“He’s right, Ava.”[/b][/color] Thomas said, looking at everyone. [color=black][b]“Father knows he has a problem. I think this is good for him.”[/b][/color] [color=00a99d][b]“Of course you would say that. He never laid a finger on you.”[/b][/color] Ava scoffed. [color=black][b]“True as that may be, let’s at least let him do this, and see what happens.”[/b][/color] Thomas said, looking towards Grant, [color=black][b]“little brother, you haven’t said anything. Surely there’s some kind of response you want to say.”[/b][/color] Thomas didn’t take his eyes off of Grant. [color=00aeef][b]“Thomas, I don’t think..”[/b][/color] [color=844dff][b]“No, it’s fine DanI. I don’t mind talking.”[/b][/color] Grant said, looking at everyone. He really didn’t know how to feel about this. His father, out of all of his siblings, seemed to beat on him more, and that’s what had him conflicted the most about. Would he be happy that his father finally was going to get help? Was he like Ava and simply thought too little, too late? Was he like Thomas and that at least he saw that he had a problem, and was trying to fix himself for the better of the family? Grant really didn’t know because he found himself at the point of the all three points of that triangle where he could go in either direction. He simply didn’t know. [color=844dff][b]“I don’t know. I just don’t know,”[/b][/color] Grant said, feeling awkward in even talking about it. It wasn’t just a couple of days ago where enough had been enough, and Grant had raised his hand to his father for the first time. Still, there wasn’t a lot he wanted to say. He just didn’t know what to say, or how he was feeling. “I just--” Grant was interrupted by the overwhelming amount of rings from everyone’s phone. They all looked at each other, and read what it said. Some had calls while the others had text messages. Grant looked at his, and saw he had a text message from both Jade and Nina. Both using different ways of saying it, but it said the same thing: [color=844dff][b]“Tessa’s missing!”[/b][/color] Grant, along with everyone else, said at the same time. Instantly, everyone got up. Jack gestured everyone out. They all got into their cars. Jack and Ellen got into their car, Thomas got into his, Adam and Ava got into theirs, and Grant rode with DanI in hers. They all drove off in that exact order, and they were heading out. As each car went off in separate directions, but seemingly taking routes to the Police Station, Grant took out his phone, and texted Alice. [quote=Grant] [b]To:[/b] Alice [color=844dff]Oh my god, Alice! Tessa is missing! Please tell me you’re safe! Oh god, please tell me you’re okay! Please tell me you’re safe![/color][/quote] Grant was freaking out. First Olivia leaves, now Tessa was missing. If Alice were to --no, he couldn’t think like that. She was okay. She had to have been. If she wasn’t.. [color=844dff][b]“DanI, before we go to the police station, can we swing by Alice Malone’s house? I need to make sure she’s okay. Please?”[/b][/color] Grant asked her, looking at her. She nodded, and would take a turn going towards Alice’s house. She knew that look on her brother’s face. She knew that something had connected between the two, and she knew that he wanted to make sure she was alright too.
