The car pulled into a gas station and Gerard got out of the car taking Peyton with him to keep Jaydee from leaving. He knew she wouldn’t leave her daughter.

When Jaydee saw Gerard enter the gas station she pulled out her phone, turning it on for the first time, and dialed the first number that came to mind. Mikey.

The phone rang once before a panicked Mikey answered the phone.

“Oh my god! Jaydee where are you!? Are you ok?! Did Gerard hurt you?” He spat out without taking a breath.

“Mikey calm down I can’t talk long he’ll be back soon. I’m ok for now. He’s taking us to California. I’m not sure where. I’m in a gas station right now and where about 2 days from California. Where stopping at a hotel tonight. I’ll text you the address when he falls asleep and you can take a plane out or something. You can try to catch up.” She explained in a
rushed whisper.

Mikey sighed with relief washing over his body. It felt so good to hear her voice again and know she was alive.

“I’m gonna get you baby. Don’t worry. I’ll come get you. I love you Jaydee.”

Her heart stopped and all she could feel was regret at his words. She still cheated on him.

“I love you too Mikey. I’ll call as soon as I can. I got to go he’ll be back soon. Bye.” Jaydee said hanging up before he could respond.

Mikey sat there on the couch staring down at his phone in his hands.

Detective Robert smiled and pressed the stop button on the recorder. Frank and Mikey had all their phones tapped incase Jaydee called.

“Well we have a lead now. Mikey it would be a good idea for you to start packing. In case she calls again you can be ready to leave.” Robert said standing and picking up his brief case, “I have to go. Call me in case you hear anything?”

Robert left and Frank looked over at Mikey with a hint of faith in his eyes. He finally had a feeling that everything was gonna be ok and he would see his sister again.

Gerard came back to the car and buckled Peyton in her car seat. Returning to the drivers seat he started the car and pulled out of the station not taking his eyes of the road.

After about 5 minutes Gerard finally spoke.

“Give me your phone Jaydee.” He said in a mono tone.

Her body went numb as she glanced in his direction.

“What do you mean?” Jaydee’s voice was shaky.

“Give me your fucking phone!” He hissed.

Jaydee quickly pulled it from her pocket and Gerard ripped it from her hands and chucked it
out the window.

“Who were you talking to when I was in there?” His voice was back to mono tone.

“No one Gerard I swear.” She tried her best to hold back her scared tears.

“I saw you when I was walking out. You were on the phone. Who was it? My brother? God knows he’s so damn important to you.” Jaydee could hear a slight hint of jealousy in his voice.

“Why do you care if I’m with Mikey, Gerard?! You obviously don’t give a fuck about me! So why do you care if I love him!” She screamed finally losing her temper. She could see his grip on the wheel tighten and his face harden. Jaydee hit a nerve.

“You don’t think I care about you?” Gerard continued with his mono tone voice which gave Jaydee chills. It was almost scary how calm he seemed.

“No I don’t.” She said wiping her eyes.

The rest of the car ride to a hotel was quite. They checked in but this time they got two rooms. One for Peyton and Gerard, and the other for Jaydee. He still didn’t trust Jaydee alone with Peyton. He knew she would leave if he did.

After about an hour Peyton had fallen asleep watching cartoons. Gerard tucked her in and sunk into Jaydee’s room.

She was lying in her bed in nothing but a tank top and a pair of panties. The slight of her soft skin gave him chills.

Jaydee looked up at to meet his gaze and sat up quickly. Her heart was pounding. She knew she was in trouble for what happen in the car.

“So you don’t think I care about you?” He hissed

“G-Gerard I didn’t mean that. I was just angry.” She had to fight off the urge to run and hide.
“I’ll show you how much I care Sugar.” Gerard smirked before climbing on top of her.
