Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed also. Today I'm actually feeling way better. In fact it's 6 o'clock and I'm already awake. Still no signs from Drew at all but I'm not going to give up that easily. I went downstairs to check if my mom is up already and she is.

"Good morning." I tell her.

"Good morning! Feeling better." She ask me.

"Yeah. Way better." I tell her.

"Good." She smiled.

"What are you making by the way?" I asked her.

"Just some coffee and there's toast with jam and peanut butter and eggs that's all." There's never really a small breakfast at my house.

"Um can I make dinner tonight?" I asked her. She looks at me like she's shocked.

"You sure you still not sick. Do you want to go back to bed. This is something I never heard you said before."

I laughed at her reaction and I'm laughing too because I never thought I never really asked my mom to cook dinner instead, I might help with the cooking but never requested to cook though.

"I'm serious mom."I tell her.

"I'm sorry Jade, it's just I was not expecting that at all from you but it's okay, I'll cook today, tomorrow you can cook. I think you still need today to rest a little bit."

"Ugh mom I'm okay, I want to cook tonight and can I please?" I asked her.

"This is so strange but wow um okay." She says.

"Great, I'll go grocery shopping later."

"Okay, I can't wait to see what you make."

"Oh um spaghetti actually." I tell her, I know it's Drew's favorite food so his going to love it when I bring it over to him.

"Spaghetti sounds great."

I hear a footstep coming down the stairs I look and see it's Daniel.

"Hey mom, Jade, you guys are up earlier than I thought." Daniel looks at his watch.

"Where you going again so early, you haven't been around much anyway?" My mom asked.

"Working," Daniel answered like his annoyed with my mom question. I know his probably working at a garage since he told me he wants to be a mechanic.

"Working where?"

"I got to go, I'm really busy." He said and turn to leave not answering any questions my mom just asked him. I remember him telling me not to tell anyone at home. I don't really know why he has to keep what he wants to do a secret to everyone in the house but I'm respecting his privacy.

"Where do you think his going?" My mom asked.

"I don't know." I answered. I'm sure Daniel will come and tell my mom when his ready to share.

Later I did go out to grab grocery food to start my spaghetti which I really hope I get to see Drew. I'm not breaking promises or anything because well I'm not going to lie to my mom about where I am and they will know where I am because I'll just tell them I'm bringing back the bowl.

I prepared the food and the only people that are here to eat it is Bert and my mon along with Chris. Daniel still haven't gotten back home yet.

"Hey guys family meeting, I have something to tell you all." Chris says. My heart jumped all of a sudden. I hope it's not what I think it is.

"Daniels not here, do you want to later when he comes back." My mom says.

"I told Daniel already, he said he didn't care."
