The One Who Never Knew

Chapter One, Prologue

"So we're stuck then?" My brother, Trent asked. I was trying desperately not to cry.

"I'm really sorry," I mumbled. Trent sighed.

"Are you beginning to see a pattern?" He asked sarcastically. Because, see this kinda stuff always happens to me, I swear ever since I was about eleven, whenever I get angry or want something really, really bad then chaos breaks out. Like today, my family and I were at this crappy family Christmas party, I really didn't want to be there, I wanted to be with Rob, so I wished I were in Chicago, see I was thinking Chicago St. Right here in good old Michigan, but what happened? My immediate family and I somehow got transported to Chicago Illinois. I swear I didn't mean to do it, I was just thinking, you know, I wish I were in Chicago, when Boom! We were in Chicago, Chicago Illinois.

"So your little convict friend can't drive down and pick us up?" My Mother asked sardonically. That did it. I started crying. Damn you Rob Wilkins. How was I supposed to know he was on Probation? Oh yeah Rob, thanks for telling me. I could just see him when he was telling me over my Dad's cell phone.

Me: Rob, um I have a little problem, I'm stranded and I need you to pick me up. (No need to tell him, my parents, whom I hadn't introduced him to and brother, would also be with me)

Rob: No prob, where are you?

Me: It's kinda a long drive

Rob: Come on, how far could it be? I'll drive all the way to the Upper Peninsula if you need it.

Me: Ok, well, it's not that far. We- I'm in Chicago

Rob: Chicago… Illinois?

Me: That's the one,

Rob: Um, I can't pick you up

Me: Why not? You said-

Rob: Look, Mendel-

Me: Jade. (I corrected, see, Rob has this thing about calling people by their first name)

Rob: Right. Um, I can't because; I can't go out of state.

Me: Why not?

Rob: I kinda wanted to tell you face to face. (He says after this long pause)

Me: Well, your gonna have to tell me now, because I'm getting a little pissed.

Rob: Your gonna be a hell of a lot more pissed after I tell you why I can't pick you up.

Me: What is it? Your Mum won't let you?

Rob: Uh, actually the State won't let me…. I'm on probation.

Me: you're on what?!? Probation! Like as in you committed a crime!? (My parents, brother and little sister turned and gaped at me… Busted)

Rob: Uh yeah. Look, I'm really, really, sorry-

Me: why didn't you tell me?

Rob: Well it's not the kind of thing you can just slip into conversation. (And with that my Mother, whom I'm sure thought I was talking to some sort of drug dealer grabbed the phone and hung up on Rob)

"I'll call someone, and we'll have a talk later," My Father said severely. Right then and there I knew that I wasn't going to see Rob again for a long time, but I had no idea then that they were going to send me halfway across the world to keep me from him.
