Runaway Bride
The next day-
Danny gets home around dinner time. Him and his friends didn't do as much partying at the girls. They stayed the night in Minneapolis not to far from the hotel the girls had been staying at. They partied for the night then went home the next day. It was quick and simple. Both Danny and Jessica never meant to make a big deal out of the bachelor and bachelorette parties.
When Danny walks in through the front door Scarlett and Wyatt run to him.
"Dada!" Scarlett says hugging his leg.
"Hey missy!"
Dorthy turns around to greet Danny. "Home so soon?" She smiles
He walks in and picks up both of the twins. They rest in their fathers arms, happy to finally see one of their parents.
"Yeah, I was ready to come home."
"Where mama?" Wyatt asks
Jessica still wasn't home yet. Dorthy didn't think much of it. None of the bridesmaids were home either so Dorthy only figured Jessica took her mother up on her offer to stay another day. But then again, a day had went by and she should be home soon.
Danny looks around. "I don't know buddy, why don't you go get her." He says putting Wyatt down
Wyatt stomps his feet and begins to fuss. "No mama here!" He yells
"Jessica hasn't come home yet." Dorthy says
Danny was shocked. "She didn't come home yesterday? She was suppose to." He puts Scarlett down and she begins to cry. He pulls out his phone and tries to call Jessica.
It went straight to voicemail.
"Have you not heard from her? I thought she would have told you?" Dorthy walks over to Danny.
He shakes his head. "I haven't spoken to her since the day she left... she didn't answer my calls and I wanted her to enjoy herself."
"She called me yesterday and said she would come home but I told her to stay an extra day. She didn't say if she was or was not. I know the other girls are coming home today. I'll call Ann." Dorthy was starting to become a bit concerned. All she needed to do was clarify if Jessica was still in Minneapolis.
As Danny continued over and over to call Jessica his attention drifted from the twins. They hated that so they began to scream and cry.
"Mama! Mama!" Scarlett yells
Albert could see that Danny was a bit distracted so he went over to the twins to entertain them.
"Hey, Scarlett, Wyatt, do you want to watch a movie?"
"No! mama!" Wyatt stomps his foot. Scarlett and Wyatt both cry desperately for their mother.

Danny goes into the kitchen and Dorthy was sitting down. She had her hands covering her face. She suddenly went from being just fine to very worried.
"Is she with them?" Danny asks
Dorthy shakes her head slowly. "No, I'm sorry..."
Danny takes a few deep breaths. He knew he shouldn't worry yet, but he couldn't help but think something was wrong.
"What did they say? Where could she be?"
"All they said is that she took an Uber home last night because she wanted to see the twins. She did not stay with them. They said they'll try to call her."
Danny bangs on the table and rubs his temples. "What if something is wrong? I need to find out where she is!" Danny panics
Dorthy takes his hand and breathes with him. "It's fine, Danny. I bet she's fine." Dorthy tries to tell herself that but she knew Jessica had been acting out of the ordinary. She also knew that Jessica was having doubts. Jessica was known for running away when times got tough. She did it as a young girl, when the twins were born and she could possibly be doing it again.
Albert comes in after calming down the twins.
"They really want their mama." He says with exhaustion.
They look at him with sad eyes then looks away. "Is Jessie okay? Did you track her down?" He says nervously
Dorthy shakes her head no.
"What's going on then?"
"The girls said she took an Uber home last night, but she never came home. We don't know where she could be, Al."
Albert was very protective of Jessica. He constantly worried for her. After hearing this he began to panic.
"We need to find her, then!"
"How? She isn't answering her phone!" Dorthy snaps
"I don't know, technology! Danny, you must be able to see where she is on phones, right? That find my phone thing. And credit card! Check her credit card!" Albert grabs his laptop and sits down beside them. Danny opens up find my eye phone but Jessica's phone was disconnected from the server.
"Her phone isn't connected to find my iPhone anymore.... I swore it was before because she's lost her phone a few weeks back. What if she doesn't want to be found?" Danny throws his phone across the table. He was so angry. He couldn't understand why Jessica would get up and leave. Especially without telling anyone. He could sense that Jessica didn't want to be found. It broke his heart. It made him scared that maybe she was backing down from everything. He had to keep reminding himself that she would have to come home eventually. She would never leave the twins.
Albert could see that Danny was in distress but he needed to keep looking. He slid over his computer that was on the bank website.
"Do you have connected cards or does she have her own?"
"We have our own. But we do share one. It's back in New York so she couldn't use that." He says to himself
"Try to figure out her account and password. Maybe she's charging things to a card." He says
Dorthy sits back, scared to death something may really be wrong. She just wanted to find Jessica so maybe she could go to her.
"I got it." Danny says as he stares at her bank account.
"Go to recent history." Albert points to the screen and Danny presses it. Immediately he sees all of these big chargers.
Dorthy looks and they all sit there in disbelief.
"American Airlines? What the hell is this!" Danny yells
"Did you have any idea?" Dorthy asks
Danny shakes his head. "No! Why would she...."
Then Danny goes up more and sees that she charged the credit card to two hotel rooms. One in Minnesota and one in-
"Hawaii! She is in Hawaii?" Danny yells
"Danny, you need to calm down... at least we know where she is."
"She must have gotten a ticket this morning and stayed near the airport last night. Comfort Inn is right next to the Minneapolis airport." Albert says. He was angry as well. He was worried about Jessica and why she'd just leave. Danny was furious. His fiancée just picked up and left leaving her children behind and Danny. No one got any heads up. He couldn't believe she'd do something like this.
"Look, she just charged again about fifteen minutes ago. The Hyatt hotel in Kauai." Dorthy says
Danny stands up and grabs his hair. "Why she do this? We are getting married in less than two weeks and she picks up and leaves? No heads up, nothing."
"Maybe she just needed a breather, Danny... sometimes girls get scared before a wedding. It's normal." Dorthy says
"If she's scared to marry me, she shouldn't marry me at all." Danny storms out of the kitchen leaving Dorthy and Albert speechless. They needed to get to Jessica as soon as possible.

Jessica's POV-
"Here is your room key, ma'am. You're on the third floor." The lady says
Jessica grabs her single duffel bag and gives the lady a soft smile.
She had just landed in Hawaii. Last night when Jessica had went to the airport she was looking for the earliest next available flight. Hawaii was it. She stayed the night at another hotel in Minnesota then got on the plan the next morning. She didn't care where she went. She just needed to be away.
Jessica found her room and walked in. It was a beautiful room. But Jessica didn't really care about that.
She sets her duffel bag down and walks to the bed. She sits at the end of it and looks around. Right as she sat down she realized the trouble she was potentially getting herself into. She was a run away bride. Jessica hoped that she wouldn't be here long, and when she left, she made up her mind on what she really wanted. She needed this time to reflect and think. Jessica had felt rushed. She never handled situations like this well.
Jessica missed the twins desperately. She wanted to see them. Jessica couldn't help but wonder what was going on at home. She hated That she was probably causing a mess. She needed to call someone, anyone.
Jessica refused to turn on her phone. Instead she used the hotel room phone.
.....
"Hello?"
"Sarah, it's me, Jessica."
"Jessica! Where are you? I thought you took an Uber home."
"I know... im sorry-"
"Jessica, what's going on?"
