My eyes widened as I saw the scene that was about to unfold before my eyes, it was Jared!

"Jared no!" I screamed, jumping forward and tugging on his shoulder,

but he wouldn't budge as he hissed venomously to Drew, "Don't you touch her ever again or I'll bury you in the hole you climbed out of"--

-"This is just a misunderstanding! Jared let him go please!" I pleaded. I wasn't about to let Jared beat into my dad, I mean who knows? He might hurt him somewhere to make him infertile or something, plus it's the last thing he needs, all he was doing was protecting May, just like me. "Jared!!" I shouted in his ear, "Don't hurt him, I swear to god!" I snapped, pulling him as hard as I could, though it barely did anything to him. Jared was strong.

Jared then snapped at me, "You're not indestructible Rissy as you seem to think you are, you're fragile and a danger magnet!"

That kinda hurt, it made me snap, "Jared! I'm not some glass antique, I can defend myself, ask Cacturne-creep back there, don't make me hurt you Jared, please don't." I felt strange threatening Jared considering he was a lot taller and physically stronger than me, but I didn't care.

"Leave. Drew. Hayden. Alone!" I said slowly, "He is just concerned about May." I looked deep into his eyes and wished he could read my mind as I mentally tried to tell him that this was Drew, as in my dad, Drew.

He cottoned on and his eyes widened for a second before he stepped away from Drew and let go of him. Drew looked at both of us strangely before flicking his hair and walking off.

"Not the best first meeting of my Dad," I sighed, "He hates me, plus he's already suspicious," I frowned.

"Sorry," Jared said, looking at me as I said,

"Don't worry about it." I looked at Drew's walking form, "But I think I know where we are."

"We're, we're in the past!?" Jared spat as he paced back and forth as I said,

"Unfortunately... And Jared?" I said as he stopped to look at me, showing me his ocean blue eyes, the same eyes from that girl earlier on, so I said, "I think I met your Mother too."

He stepped over and his big hands covered my shoulders as he said, "Was her name Dawn? Dawn Berlitz? Was there anyone else with her? A guy perhaps?" he said quickly in his intelligent voice that left me mentally swooning, he sounded like he could crack the Da Vinci Code in ten seconds if he really tried. He waited for me to answer his questions and I said very unhelpfully,

"I don't know," and shrugged my shoulders, "I was somewhat distracted at the time." He sighed in a 'typical' matter that hurt my feelings and stepped away and started pacing back and forth again, mumbling under his breath.

"Jared? How will we get back?" I said softly, scared that he didn't have an answer for me.

He responded quickly with, "We don't, we are meant to change it, why else were we sent back? This could work..."

I interrupted, "No Jared, it wasn't fate, it was me messing around where I shouldn't have been messing around, we have to leave well enough alone."

He rolled his eyes and looked at me almost in horror, "Rissy, did you just admit to being wrong? And are you telling me that you don't have the slightest urge to save your mother?"

It was my turn to roll my eyes and I sat down on a park bench, "Yes, I admitted I was foolish, and... Yes, I do want to stop my mother's killer, but it's not our right to meddle with these things-"

"Right Ray-Ray, well I for for one, don't want to be an accidental birth and have my mother an alone nervous wreck, don't you want to save your mother? So she'll be there for you when we find a way to get back?"

I winced, Jared always had a way with words, I stood up slowly and said softly,

"What are you suggesting?..."
