Jake was exhausted behind the wheel. He was only a few hours into a 16 hour drive. He was too spooked to stop anywhere but worried about exhaustion. He couldn't fall asleep at the wheel either. A crash wouldn't help any of them.
He looked in the mirror occasionally to check on Ari and Jax in the backseat. he had given his sweatshirt to Del to keep her warm earlier in the drive. With the car quiet for the moment he figured now was a good a time as any to finally do what he was avoiding. Calling his family.
He fished his phone out of his pocket and dialed the house phone. It was early but people would be awake. His younger brother Kyle answered the phone. " Yo little bro. Sup. Yea its really me. Duuude. Dude calm down its just me. Yah i know i haven't called in a while. I've been busy at work. No no i haven't gone all big apple douche on you guys. Hey man i would love to talk more but can you get mom or dad? It's important. Thanks lil dude." He waited for his brother to get one of the Taylors. He knew he shouldn't be but he was nervous. What would they say. Lucky for him his mother came to the phone. " Hey momma. Yea it's me. Oh Momma don't cry please it's okay i'm not hurt or anything. I know it's been a while. I just. I couldn't handle stuff at the time. No i know that isn't an excuse but that's all i got. Hey Momma...i got a favor to ask. Some stuff happened in New York and well... I'm comin home. And i'm bringing some friends with me. The Bungalow still open? It is? Good. No no Momma don't fuss over us. We just need somewhere to lie low for a while. No we didn't do anything illegal. There was just a misunderstanding. Nothing i want to discuss on the phone. I'll tell you more when we get there momma. Yea i love you too. I'm driving right now so i'll call when we are closer. Give Jamie and dad my love. Love you too mom. Bye."
He hung up his cell and let out a sigh of relief. At least they had somewhere to stay. Beyond that he had no plan. He had a pregnant girl with pregnancy complications with him and a mute girl that may or may not be his girlfriend. " I need to stop somewhere for coffee and to piss." He said outloud not sure if either girl was still awake or not.
