Chapter 4

Jenny was jolted awake when the bus went over a bump. The sun was up, and it blurred her vision for a minute. She clutched her backpack against her chest, then checked her pockets to make sure no one had tried to rob her while she was asleep. The woman sitting next to her wasn't paying any attention to her. She was watching a movie on her tablet, and Jenny could just barely hear some of the dialogue coming from the woman's ear buds.

She pulled out her phone and checked the time. It was just a bit past seven, and the sun had only just risen. She'd been on the bus for a few hours, and it was looking like she'd get where she was going with plenty of time to reach the convention.

She scrolled through her contacts list until she found her mother's cell phone number. She figured her mom was still asleep this early in the morning. Unless, of course, she'd woken up in the middle of the night and found Jenny was missing. But if that was the case, then she probably would have called Jenny's phone first thing, demanding to know where she was.

She glanced at the woman next to her, but she figured the lady was too involved in her movie to be bothered if Jenny made a phone call. She certainly couldn't afford to wait until the bus reached Atlanta.

She sighed, closing her eyes, and whispered a soft prayer for strength. She wasn't sure who or what she was praying to anymore, but the gesture still brought her comfort. She thought that maybe that was the only reason anyone prayed. For comfort.

She tapped the screen and the phone started to ring. She sat there with her eyes closed, waiting for the inevitable.

“Hello?” Her mother's voice sounded bleary with sleep.

“Mom?”

“Jenny? Why are you calling me? What...?”

Jenny heard her mother getting out of bed and crossing the hall. She could picture Mom standing there in her bedroom door, glaring at Jenny's empty bed.

“Jennifer Marie Campbell, where in the hell are you?”

Jenny swallowed a lump in her throat. “I'm going to Atlanta.”

“Atlanta?” Her mother was practically screaming into the phone now. “Oh no you are not! You get your self back home right now.”

Jenny glanced at the woman next to her. The woman was eyeing her sidelong, and could probably hear Mom shouting through the phone.

“I'm going to the convention. I told you—”

“And I told you that you weren't going. What about your brother and sisters? Who's supposed to watch them?”

“Kathy can—”

“Kathy is a child. And so are you, apparently. My word, I don't know what goes through your head sometimes. I try to trust you with a little responsibility...”

“A little responsibility?” Jenny said, raising her voice and drawing an annoyed look from the woman next to her. Jenny turned towards the window and lowered her voice. “Damn it, Mom, I practically have to raise your children. The one time I want to do something for me for a change—”

“Jennifer, you turn around right now and come home this instant.
