"Our journey is full of drama, confusion, and blood, but we'll make it out of it alive..." - Rosabella Jones, The Exhausting Journey.
Rosabella Jones, a rich 15-year-old girl, didn't know she had a little brother until she discovered a birth certif...
Parker looked at his mother in disbelief , as tears were nearly falling from his eyes , not only because his mother let him down for the first time in his life , but also because he won't be able to save Rosabella .
Parker : What do you mean , mum ? Karen : maybe you should ask anyone else but me , I can't do that . Parker : Why not ? Karen : I can't change a whole family's mind.
Parker : please mum , this is my chance to tell Rosabella what I feel about her . Karen : I can't Parker..case closed . Parker : but.. Karen : case closed..
Parker ran to his room so he won't tear up , Karen was quite upset too , because she always thought of Rosabella as her daughter . And at 5 o'clock it was dinner time , the family was gathered at the dining table .
And as food was being served , they all talked. Maddie : I won the basketball match today. Bete : That's my girl ! *high-fiving her* And after a little while of talking , Parker hasn't spoken yet.
Liv : Parker , why are you so silent ? Joey : thanks Liv , I'm glad someone noticed . Maddie : What's going on ? Parker : well..mum you say it . Karen : there's an unknown disease in Queen Anne's school in England .
Liv : Why can't Rosabella and her cousins come back ? Karen : because her family won't approve , they think Rosabella and her cousins are making it up . Bete : so she only needs her family permission?
Parker : yeah , but Rosabella asked me to tell mum to go visit her family in the next family meeting , and try to change their mind , but mum doesn't think it's a good idea .
Maddie : Why not ? Karen : because I just can't change a whole family's mind . Bete : but it's about Rosabella . Parker : That's what I said !
Joey : ok mum , how do you think you're gonna prove to Rosabella that you love her just like us ? Karen : anything that doesn't include changing a whole family's mind . Parker : mum , don't do anything , I'll go upstairs and call Rosabella to tell her that my mum doesn't appreciate her .
Karen : but of course I do appreciate her ! Parker : not anymore , you don't . He went upstairs , and the rest of the family talked . Liv : mum , I really think you should do this .
Karen : I want to , but I can't . Maddie : No , I'm thinking you'll do great , this is not only about Rosabella , but It's about Parker , too.
Joey : yeah , if Rosabella got back here , she's be more attracted to Parker , and they'll end up together . Bete : It's a great chance to tell Rosabella that you're her mother , too .
Karen : ...ok , when is the next family meeting ? Bete : Parker mentioned something about Thursday . Karen : Thursday it is , then .
Meanwhile Parker was voice-calling Rosabella , he would've video-called her , but he's feeling he won't be able to hide his tears , and after 2 times she answered .
Parker : Hey , Rosabella . Rosabella : Hey . Parker : ..Are you crying ? Why ? Rosabella : everything is just getting worse , I can't believe it .
Parker : What's happening ? Rosabella : We're now like 20 girls out of 70 , we're staying in our dorms , and not allowed to get out , some of those 20 started coughing , and I'm really scared..what did your mum say ?
Parker : s-she..she can't do it . Rosabella : ..what ? Parker : she says she can't change a whole family's mind , I'm sorry Rosabella , I know we just made up but..
Rosabella : I thought there's someone who cared for me . Parker : I do care about you , Rosabella , I'm sorry I've let you down , please don't be upset.
There was no reply. Parker : Rosabella ? Rosabella : ..I gotta go . Parker : No wait , I just wanted to say... But she had already hanged up , so he decided to text her .

But she didn't answer him .
Next Thursday : The Jones's house :
The family were talking in the living room , when Florence , Rosabella's maid , showed up : Florence : I'm sorry for interrupting , but there's a visitor . Gillian : let them in .
At that moment Karen entered and stood in front them . Mariana : Karen Rooney ? Karen : yes It's me , I need to talk to all of you. Diana : What is it ? Karen : It's about Rosabella and her cousins.
They all looked at each other , and looked at her . Ellen : go on...
In another place : Annie Wright school :
Angela called her sister , and Angelea picked up , they talked . Angela : hey , sissy , how is it going ? Angelea : everything is going great , 50 girls died , oh my god they all believed there is an unknown disease , even stupid Rosabella , she's crying to go back to Tacoma .
Angela : That's great ! Angelea : What about you ? Angela : It's great , I practically escaped jail , and I know everything going on in Annie Wright , Rosabella's brother Cedar is pretty much upset , mostly from my threats , and Griff is so upset because his sister won't call him , everything is awesome , I'm so happy.
Angelea : We're so close to finish this , sister . Angela : I know right ! As soon as we kill them all , we'll have all the attention .
Angelea : ok , I have to go finish the plan . Angela : me too , but I think someone's spying on us . Angelea : Who ? Angela : We'll find out later .
They hanged up , and Angela started turning around like an idiot , because she knows if someone recorded that , they'll be in jail forever , even if she has escaped already .
As she was standing near her house , she couldn't realize that Jacob Sartorious was spying on her....
