Cassandra Warner walked into the kitchen of her house and called for her mother, Blair. "Mother?" she called. "She went to the store." Blaine answered from behind. Cassandra turned around. "Oh.." she replied. "When will she be back?" she continued. "I dunno. She went food shopping. Probably about a hour." Blaine said as he walked into the corner of the kitchen to pick up his breifcase. "You mean your going to work?" Cassandra asked. "Yeah..I have to cover for someone else." he stated as he grabbed his jacket off the coatrack. "Oh.." Cassandra said quietly, hoping he could stay home with his family for once. "Well...bye then." Cassandra said. "See ya." Blaine said as he left the house. Cassandra let out a sigh as she left the kitchen slowly.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jackie Bonner, who lived no more than a street away from Cassandra sat on her bed in her bedroom and began cleaning her bike helmet making sure there were no more smudges or fingerprints on it. "Well it wasn't my fault I couldn't come home earlier!!!" Rick yelled from the kitchen. Jo groaned and walked to her dresser. Rick and Jo have been fighting for a long time now, and it was beginning to get to the point when they couldn't bare to see each other without a arguement of some sort. "Why won't they just shut up already!?" Jackie complained to herself. "They just can't stop fighting!" she repeated to herself. She wished she could just tell them how much their fighting was affecting her, but she couldn't. Besides, she thought there would probably be another fight right when she entered the kitchen.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Cassandra lay on her bed with her head on her pillow thinking of how all the other girls at school have fathers who come home and spend time with them instead of working 23 hours of their day. She rose from her bed as tears formed in her eyes. She wiped them off and heard someone enter the house. She wiped the tears off again and walked into the kitchen seeing Blair put two grocery bags on the kitchen table and looked at Cassandra. "Hi hunny. Wheres' your father?" She asked. "Work...same as always." Cassandra replied. Blair began putting grocerys away with no answer. "Mom, I wish he could spend more time with us." Cassandra said. "I know darling, I do too." Blair replied.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jackie sighed as she heard the fighting stop. She decided to go see what they were doing. If they weren't fighting, what else could they possibly do? she thought. She walked into the living room and found Jo on the couch crying. "Mom?? What's wrong?" Jackie said. "Oh..nothing. Your father just...slapped me." she said. Jackie was shocked. "Great..Now its physical abuse?!" she said sarcastically. "Where is he now?" she asked. "He left. I don't know where he went. He just left!!" she said as the tears began to stop coming down her cheeks. "Oh.." Jackie replied as she made her way back into the room to call Cassandra. So she picked up the phone and called her.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hello?" Cassandra said as she picked up the phone in her room. "Hey..it's Jackie. Your never gonna belive what happened." she said. "What happened?" Cassandra answered. "My dad and my mom are fighting...and my dad slapped my mom." Jackie said. Cassandra was shocked. "Oh my gosh...well things aren't excactly perfect here either." she said quietly. "What do ya mean?" Jackie answered. "My father is never home! He just leaves me and my mom here when he goes to work..its like work is his life!" Cassandra complained. "I just wish we could do something to help our parents." Cassandra continued. "Cas, it isn't just them. It's us too! This stuff is affecting us too!" She stated. "Yeah, but we gotta stop them to make it stop affecting us!" Cassandra replied. "Well...we should be concerned on not only them but us too." Jackie said. "Well what could we possibly do to help US?" Cassandra asked. "Well..I got a idea..." Jackie said. "What?" Cassandra said. "Let's...run away....." Jackie said.

Cassandra Warner ran down her block until she finally arrived at the corner where Jackie's shaddow arrived behind her. "Hey." Jackie said. "Hi.." Cassandra replied. "You ready?" Jackie said. Cassandra sighed. "I suppose. Where are we going to go?" she said. Jackie looked around. "I was thinking..Peekskill." she said. Cassandra gasped. "But..how can we get there?!" she said. Jackie then pulled out two train tickets. "I bought them before." Jackie said. Cassandra was shocked. "I dunno about this..." Cassandra replied. "Well I'm going. I dunno about you." she said as she put one ticket in her pocket, handing another out to her. Cassandra sighed and took it.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Blaine came home later that night and shut the door behind him. Blair ran up to him. "Hunny..please say Cassandra went to work with you!" She said. "She didn't..why??" Blaine responded. "Blaine she's gone!! I searched the entire house! There is no sign of her anywhere!" Blair said as she looked as though she was about to cry. "Blaine what do we do?!" Blair said. "Well..we better call the cops." Blaine said as he ran to the phone. He picked it up and dialed 911. Blair watched Blaine takling to the operator. After a short while Blaine hung up the phone. "The police are on their way right now." he said. Blair then started crying. "Blaine..where could she be?!" Blair said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"I can't belive we are going to do this! Where are we going to go?!" Cassandra complained as she boared the train. "I got no clue." Jackie said. "Oh that comforts me!" Cassandra said as she sat down next to Jackie. "I sorta got this idea of where we will go.." Jackie said. "Where??" Cassandra said. "Bruce and Mrs. Garett's place!" Jackie said. Cassandra gasped. "What?!! Your crazy! They'll probably tell our parents!" she complained. "Not if we tell them what's going on! And it will probably be better there than what we're experiencing in our places!" Jackie said. Cassandra couldn't compete on that. "Well...in a way your right I suppose. But how worried will our parents be?!" She said. "Well how worried were we when they put us through all that junk?!" Jackie said. Cassandra put her head down. "Your right." she said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jo sat on the couch upset and rose slowly, going into Jackie's room to see where she was. But all of the sudden, when she saw the front door slightly opened she gasped and ran into Jackie's room. She was gone. "Jackie?!" Jo panicked. "Jackie!" She yelled. "Oh no...she's gone!" She said to herself. She thought of the quickest thing to do. She raced to her phone and dialed 911, tyring to get in hold with a operator. "Hello? Yes. My daughter is missing!! The last time I saw her had to of been about half an hour ago!! Yes. Yes. Ok. Thank you." she said. She then hung up the phone panicking. She tried to hold in tears but couldn't, and she began to cry.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Jackie when are we going to arrive in Peekskill?!" Cassandra complained. They had been on the train for a long time now and they both were beginning to get tired. "I dunno. Probably a couple minutes." Jackie responded being unsure. "Well we better! The hairspray which keeps my hair beautiful is starting to wear off!" She complained as a number of men looked digusted at her. "What are you looking at creeps?!" She said to them as Jackie rolled her eyes. "I can't belive we are doing this!" Cassandra said. "Cas can't ya just shut up?! Your mouth hasn't closed from saying complaints since we boared the train! "I am just really worried!" Cassandra replied. "About what?! Your nail will break?" Jackie said. "No! That we will be able to see our parents EVER again!" She said. They then looked at each other and there was silence.

By the time the train had arrived in Peekskill, Cassandra was asleep and Jackie was very annoyed. "Cas? Cas wake up! We're in Peekskill." Jackie said. Cassandra slowly woke up. "Alleuiah! How's my hair??" she said. "You sure you don't use grease in it?" Jackie said sarcastically as Cassandra rolled her eyes and the two walked off the train. "Where do we go from here?" Cassandra asked. "Well..Mrs. G's place obviously." Jackie replied. "But where's Mrs. Garett
s place?" Cassandra asked. "I don't know..." Jackie replied.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jo had called up Blair and Blaine later that day to tell them Jackie was missing. Then Jo found out Cassandra was missing. "The cops didn't trace any sign of them!" Jo said. "Well I have an idea." Blair said. "How about in our car you come over and we will go search for them??" Blair said. "Ok..I will be there in one sec." Jo said as she hung up and ran out the door.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Are you sure your going in the right direction?!" Cassandra said. "I have no clue." Jackie responded. "You don't have a clue on anything!!" Cassandra yelled. "Don't you get that my nails are chipping?! This manicur I got wasn't just cash from the Bronx ya know!" Cassandra yelled "Aye! Don'tt be dissin the Bronx!" Jackie yelled. "I know! Those dirtbags aren't worthy of being called anything!" she replied. "Shut up Little Miss Piggy!" Jackie said. "You shut up Kermit the Frog!" Cassandra yelled. All of the sudden a car went right in front of them. It was Blair, Blaine, and Jo. "Oh no..." Jackie said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"We want a reasonable explanation for this!!" Jo said at Blair and Blaine's house. "How could you just leave us Cassandra?!!" Blair yelled. "What did we do to you?!" Blaine said. "Well..dad, your never home!! All the other kids in my class have fathers that spend time with their kids! All you spend time with is your computer and desk!!!!" Blair said. "Hunny you should have told me how you felt!" Blaine said. "You know I will do anyting for you!" Blaine explained.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Jackie, what about you?!" Jo yelled. "Well you and dad were always fighting! Every time I turn the corner your fighting!! Where's dad now huh?!" Jackie said. "Dad is gone." Jo said. "There won't be fighting anymore! He is gone! He left me! You think I would let you suffer from all this fighting?!" Jo continued. Both Cassandra and Jackie were sorry and upset about what they did. They then ran up to their parents, said sorry, and hugged them.
