"Sit down," his fake mother said, sternly.
"Yes...umm...Mom?" he said.
"I don't know what's going on with you today," she said. "First that thing with your sister, then you run off suddenly. Your friend Karyn called and said you have been ignoring her phone calls...Is there something wrong?"
"No...just a hard day," he lied.
"Jon, I don't know what's going on with you, and I can't force you to tell me. But I want you to go to your room and do some thinking."
"But...I have to go out.."
"You are staying in for the rest of the night," she told him.
"But..." if he was Zoe, he'd curse her out and run off. He wasn't, although he was getting desperate.
Should he go upstairs and take Zoe with him to her room? Or just give up now?
