Later that night, Jed wasn't able to sleep, for fear of what has happened to Roni. Did she run away? Jed kept tossing and turning, with these thoughts running through his head. Finally, he decided to go take a walk, perhaps a walk would clear his head. For the strangest reason, Jed was drawn towards Roni's room. When he showed up, he found Roni, who was quietly attempting to sneak in her room.

"Where the hell have you been?"

Roni jumped at the sound of Jed's voice, she didn't expect anyone to be behind her. She turned around and said, "I went out."

"Yes, this much I know. But where were you? When did you leave? Why did you leave? Who were you with?"

"I left really early this morning. Zoey thought it'd be a fun idea to go horse back riding."

"You were with Zoey?"

"Yeah. Why? You didn't realize she was gone?"

"Well with her back in classes for the fall semester, and living in a dorm room, no I hadn't really thought much about not seeing her today. So why did you tell your detail not to say a word as to where you were?"

"I didn't, Zoey did. Why? What's up?"

"Your mother and I have been going crazy trying to figure out where you were."

"Sorry. Zoey thought it would be fun, if we went out and did something together, just the two of us. It was her idea to do this, to spend the entire day......getting closer."

"Don't ever do that to me again. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand," Roni said as Jed grabbed her into a hug.

"You had us worried sick," Jed said, as he pulled Roni in a tighter hug, and kissed her on the forehead. "Now come let your mother know you're alright, so she can get some sleep."

THE END
