Jess took a deep breath.
"Mom? Dad? Can I talk to you for a minutes?"
Walker
"Is there something wrong?" Walker immediately asked, concerned.
He pulled an extra chair over, and invited Jess to sit with him and his wife.
Jessica
"Not really. But I think there could be. " she took a deep breath. "OKay. So. With all the stuff that's been happening, I really feel that I need a change of scenery. And I called Professor Xacier, and he said I could start there when the semester starts in September. I really think this is something I need to do." she said.
Walker
Walker hesitated, holding back any immediate reactions.
Finally, he sighed.
"It seems you've put some research into this move. You are aware that the Hanson tour may venture into late September, aren't you?"
Jessica
"Yeah. That's a part of it. But there are so many factors. First of all, although I love you, MOm, I think I need a break from homeschool. Especially now that you're sick, I think that it would be better for all of uf if you were only teaching Avie, Mackie and Zoe. Secondly, Rachel is there, and so are a lot of friends. Adam's transferring there, because he's having enough problems with his own family. His little sister may be coming too. Also, Julie is most likely moving there as well. I'll be well cared for, and it will provide the change of scenery I think I need." Taking a breath, she added another point. "They also have a new psychiatrist on staff. I've already talked to her over the phone, and I think that she may be able to help me work through my trust issues."
