Jess: For a while I just couldn't get it that sweet, understanding, gentle Jess had been treating Schmidt the way that she did. I know, he cheated on her best friend and all, but how she wanted to get rid of him at her halloween party was quite cruel. So when we met Abby, and the way Jess treated her own family, it started to make sense (to me it did anyways, haha). So this might be after S03E16.

Hey kid: Chapter 2

"Are you out of your mind? What were you thinking?" Jess had started pacing up and down the living room. Stopping from time to time to stare and frown at him. Then, shaking her head, she started to pace again.

"Oh, I don't know. It seemed like a good idea at the time." Schmidt shrugged apologetically. He had been sat down on the sofa and was forced to listen to Jess ranting on about his relationship with her sister. Failed relationship to be honest.

"I told you to stay away from her. Even Cece told you! Why couldn't you just listen?"

Schmidt held up one hand. "Jess I get it, you feel that she's your responsibility and you don't want her around guys like me. After all, she's your big sister and you want to protect her."

"Yes! And no. Its not like that." she stammered. Then she sat down next to him and punched him in the shoulder.

"Ow!"

"Oh shush! Fact is, I know Abby! I have had to deal with her messes my whole life. She doesn't care for anyone but herself. Always has and probably always will."

"So what then pray tell, is the problem?" his forehead was wrinkled in confusion and his eyes had taken that puppy dog expression, that he always denied having. Maybe he actually didn't know.

Jess sighed. "You are such an idiot sometimes. Why do you always fall for the women that will hurt you? First Cece and now Abby."

Schmidt quickly shook his head looking offended. "I'm an adult Jess. It was just sex!"

On that she laughed out loud and gave a little snort at the end. "Yeah right. Just sex. And that is why you blew Ceces Wedding and spend all your savings on a storefront, which my sister will never use to sell her 'creations'. Or even know about, for that matter.

Schmidt lowered his eyes and a little blush crept into his cheeks. "It wasn't like that." he mumbled.

"Oh come on Schmidtty! You can be such a sweet guy but you can't let women trample on your feelings all the time." she huffed out, blowing up her bangs in the process.

Flustered he blew his cheeks out and started "Excuse me, I -" but Jess didn't let him finish.

"No, you hear me out now and listen good. We all know you can be a douchebag and an idiot sometimes but you are our idiot! Abby might be my big sister by blood but you tend to be my little brother by choice! I don't like to see you get hurt and even less when you could have avoided it easily with just thinking things through!" her voice had picked up volume at the end and Schmidt thought, if that was her angry teacher voice, she could be quite scary when she wanted to be.

He flashed her a meek look and grinning, he made his voice sound younger.
"I'm sorry Miss Day, I'll try to behave from now on."

Jess smiled back and gave him a quick hug. "You wouldn't be able to if your life dependent on it."

He wriggled his eyebrows teasingly. "Yeah, probably not. But thank you for looking out for me Jess, it means a lot."

"No problem kid."
