Ellie
A couple of hours pass, and during that time, our waiting room section has filled. My sister and her family have arrived, and so has Jake’s boss. He keeps asking about Jake, but I have no clue what to tell him. After speaking with Jake’s parents, they are taking the first flight they can get from Florida.
Once my parents were filled in on the situation, they said they want me and Jake to go under protective custody until Bryan is found, but I know Jake will never agree to it. He’ll want to stay and fight it on his own, like the alpha male he is. I’m his to protect. When he finds out about everything that’s happened, he’s going to be beyond livid. There’s no way he’ll run. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Not having any news on his health scares the s**t out of me.
