Chapter 12: I saw him again

They were all excited to share the same room except from Starr, she was lost in her thoughts and was dead worried about jack and Kylie.

WOW!! Jessica exclaimed. Pearl demonstrated it with her hand 'the room is big'. Indeed, Emma agreed.

I'm happy because we are together, you know that Starr is worried so it would have been bad if we were separated.

Starr looked out the window and said ' I miss my Jeff'. They all turn and looked at her, WHAT!! They said in unison. She didn't even know what she said then she suddenly regained herself, I miss my mom yeah my mom.

Jessica looked at her curiously, you're sure is not Jeff? She teased. Mia tried to stop them from continuing teasing Starr but pearl cut her off. What is wrong with those questions huh.... Mia?.

'Jeez' she said as she was stepping back with her hands in the air like a criminal who surrendered to the police.

Emma raised her hand while lazily resting on the bed, can you all please SHUT UP! Thank you. I'm worried about jack, said Mia.

I'm worried about him too and my lil sister, I hope they are both fine. We should go to sleep, Starr said. Emma agreed, yeah you should all try it it's nice.

The room was indeed a great sight, with a large king sized bed in the middle and some pink curtains with a drawing of a flower all around it. It was a warm sensation.

Starr sighed, 'So peaceful and relaxing, the smell of nature gives me peace' she said while looking around as if she just entered. Uhh that warm sensation.

Jessica was looking confused, Starr we've been here for over an hour, don't tell me you didn't see the room before?

I guess my mind was just not here. Then where was with? With Jeff? Pearl teased. Starr smiles and then her face quickly went back to normal. Enough teasing I'm trying to sleep here, even Mia is asleep Emma said and they all turned and look.

She looks so cute when she's sleeping.

They all drifted to sleep.

It was already morning and none of them had woken up yet. A loud noise came from outside and Starr forced open her eyes. She whispered, 'who is there?' But got no answer.

Come out please, I said who is there, this time she said it louder but still no response. She stood up and walked towards the window and she saw someone familiar which was shocking.

JEEF!! She should and Mia jolted from her sleep.

Omg Starr! Mia said while rubbing her eyes lazily.

Ooh shit for a moment I thought I was in my room recollecting what happened yesterday. Starr sighed and smiled. Good morning sunshine, Starr greeted and they all greeted back.

Good morning. Ooh shoot where you all awake all this while, Starr said while scanning outside of the window which her eyes.

Yes, why? Jessica asked and pearl laughed saying, 'is that how to start a new day Jessica? With lies? We just woke up.

Alright get ready and Emm Mia can I speak with you please. Sure she said looking at the three of them, they understood and left them alone.

I hope it's not serious, you look.... worried, Mia said

. Yeah forget that can you guess who I saw this morning. Who? She asked. Spill the beans.... Jeff. They observed a staring contest for 20 sec and then Mia laughed out loud, Jeff? Here? You must be dreaming. Was that why you were staring out the window? Hu? Daydreamer.

I saw him I swear. We will talk about this later let's go and prepare for today, don't stress yourself okay, Mia said. Today? What's happening today? Well she will do as Mia said and enjoy herself, thought Starr.

They all prepared themselves as it was time for them to leave. Jessica greeted Theresa and she answered sweetly asking her how she was doing. Good, Jessica replied. Well that nice, she called out to Starr and she answered rudely. WHAT!!.

Don't be rude, pearl advised. 'Let her be', Theresa said. Come Starr, she said opening her arms like a door welcoming its guest but it seems nobody want to come in. Mia then embraced her.

You are soo warm. Her eyes started tearing up as she looked at the girl who didn't even bother to look or glance at her.

Steve walked in. He noticed Theresa's sad look. Can we go now, he said and they all nodded.

They all left after saying their goodbyes. This time the journey was fast and easy. Starr was lost in thoughts, she was thinking about Jeff and questioning herself in her mind is he was the one or not.

Her mom couldn't help but worry as she looked at her daughter who looked worried, sad and pale. She was staring outside like an helpless bird who was trapped in a cage and on the other hand her friends were talking and laughing.

They were back home in a blink of an eye. Starr ran towards the door and opened it. It was how she left it, nothing was out of place. Jack!! She shouted.

She heard clicking sounds coming from the stairs and saw a little figure descending from it. It was Kylie.

STARR! MOM! DAD!, she ran towards them and hugged them. Another sound of clicking shoes was heard coming from a different direction and they all turn to look, Jack was just returning home after the party.

Mia ran to him. His hair was like a nest and he looked lean, his shirt was unbuttoned which made him look weirdly hot. Mia, he said calmly as he stroke her hair. I was only gone for a night but no worries I'm here now and mom I told you I was going to spend the night at my friends place. So why didn't you tell her, he questioned.

Steve replies, ' she might have forgotten besides we went out to catch some fun'.

They all looked at themselves. Jessica? Emma said. There are no words, Jessica replied and turned to Starr. She didn't say anything, many things were going through her mind.

Theresa noticed her daughter's reaction and she couldn't help but sigh, she knew there was a bag full of questions in her mind. She stared helplessly at her daughter who was lost in thought.

Starr I want to speak with you.... please come with me, she said. But I don't want to speak with you, Starr replied.

Theresa took her hand but Starr removes it forcefully and said, 'I don't feel like talking to you okay '. She ran upstairs and Theresa followed.
