Lauren was about to ask him about the little boy in the pictures but for the second time that morning her pocket started to vibrate and ring, she fumbled around with the phone but her fingers were still half asleep as she pressed the talk button

“Hello…”

“Lauren, is that you?” the voice on the other end of the phone was familiar but she couldn’t make out who it was

“Yes this is Lauren speaking…who’s this?”

“Lauren…it’s…it’s me, Jacob. Listen can you do me a favor…I need your help?” Jacob sounded scared. “Yeah sure, what is it Jacob?”

“I…I can’t really talk about it on the phone…can you meet me somewhere, our tree in the park in 15?”

“Yeah I’ll be there right away” When she hung up a sudden shiver ran up her spine, she had never heard Jacob sound so worried before.

“Is everything okay?” Caleb looked at her with suspicion

“Yeah…no. Jacob just called me. He sounded terrified on the phone, I think something has happened. I’m sorry but I need to leave” Caleb put the spatula he was using to cook, on the bench and walked over to her and took her in a strong but gentle embrace

“Its ok Lauren…do what you have to do. I Understand” He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. She hugged him again “I will be back, I promise” And leaving him with those words she ran out the front door.

Lauren lay back on the green grass and sighed. The sky was blue and clear yet something seemed wrong. She sat under the tree that Jacob had told her to wait by, but he still hadn’t shown. She was startled when Jacobs face appeared in her vision. “JACOB! God do you want to scare me to death” She sat up and laughed but suddenly stopped when she seen the look on her face. “Lauren…I need your help…well more your guidance and morel support”

Laurens face fell “Jacob, what’s happened?”

“Did Christy tell you that we went home early the other night because I wasn’t feeling well?” Lauren nodded remembering the time her best friend had told her about the wonderful date she had with Jacob “Well I went to the doctor to see if it was anything I should be worried about” The pause in his speech was enough to make Lauren cry

“Jacob…what did they say?”

“I’ve got a very rare bone marrow disease…and if I don’t treat it fast by finding my biological parents and getting a transplant I’m going to die”

“Wait, What? I didn’t know you were adopted”

Jacob shook his head “I’ve never really told anyone about it…and now they are trying to trace my biological family down so that I can have a transplant…that’s why I asked you to come. I tired to get a hold of Christy but when I rung her, her parents said she had gone out, so you were the next person I thought of…” Lauren jumped up and pulled Jacob into a hug “Of course I’ll help…Whatever you want me to do I will do it”

Jacob smiled almost in tears “Thank you…will you come with me to the hospital then. They have some information they want to give me and have asked me to come in” Lauren smiled warmly at her friend “Sure I’d be glad to help.”
