~ Chapter 20 ~

Jonas was too upset to go home. He would be sleeping with the Giver tonight. That night Jonas and the Giver make a plan for Jonas to go Elsewhere. Both Jonas and the Giver decided that Jonas would leave the night before the December Ceremonies, and would begin to travel to Elsewhere. There plan is that Jonas would slip into the Giver's room that night, and then hide out in the storage part of a vehicle. The Giver would not join Jonas because he had to protect the community from memories.
