Part 3
Monday came around the corner and Bess was packing her things up into her bag so she could go back home. She never staid in the mansion with her grandfather when her father went away, she stopped doing that when she was seven. She would stay with her mother but now that Babe was dead she usually staid with either Jamie, Maggie or Bianca. JR minded oh he minded a lot but he was left with no choice because Bess was 15 and she could make her own choices whether he liked them or not.
Today Erica and Kendall were over with Bianca. The two women really didn't like Bess, and she knew that. She wasn't stupid. They always looked at her funny ever since she was little and in return she looked at them funny and hardly ever talked to them. Which only fueled the fire between the three of them. Because now they thought she was some retarded child that didn't have any manners. And today was no different.
"I swear JR really doesn't know how to teach his daughter any manners!" Erica said looking at Bess. The teenager just smiled and looked at Erica with a raised eye brow.
"I don't see any proof of you being able to do much better." Bess said before grabbing her bag.
"Elizabeth Miranda Chandler!" Bianca said sternly.
Bess rolled her eyes at hearing her full name. She turned slowly and looked at Bianca. She crossed her arms and put her bag down. "Yeah I know go to my room and wait for my father." The teenager rolled her eyes and walked into the room she always staid in when she slept over at Bianca's.
"That girl has no manners." Erica huffed as she sat down.
"Mother, please..." Bianca said. "Please don't start."
"If she was your daughter, she wouldn't be acting like this." Erica said as she looked at her daughter. That only made Bianca feel bad. She really missed her daughter Miranda.
Kendall rolled her eyes. "Yes, mother we've heard you say this many times before. And oh...look...still the same." Kendall said sighing. "Bianca helped raise Bess, and from what we hear her say I think she just doesn't like us." Kendall said sitting down next to Bianca.
Bess had been standing by the door listening to what the three women in the living room were talking about. That's when she heard of Bianca's daughter. She never met Bianca's daughter and from what she had ease dropped on it turned out that Bianca's daughter had died a long time ago. Bess never asked anyone about it, after her father that is. She never asked anyone about Bianca's daughter again. All the information she knew about Bianca's daughter was from ease dropping.
Then Bess caught Kendall's comment and she snorted as she moved over to her bed and sat down. "That's the understatement of the year." Bess took out her cell and called her father. She really wanted to get out of there and not be around Erica and Kendall.
"Chandler." JR answered into the head set to his cell.
He was on his way to Bianca's apartment. He had gotten home an hour ago, and had dropped off his bags at home before changing and now he was heading over to pick his daughter up from Bianca's.
"Dad..." Bess said into the phone. "When are you going to be here?"
"Hey baby..." JR said smiling at the sound of his daughter's voice. "I'll be there in five minutes? Why? Is everything ok?"
"Erica and Kendall are here and they are so annoying." Bess said into the phone.
"I can't believe you dated Kendall." Bess said mortified. "Why did you date her?" Bess added and sighed.
JR laughed and nodded his head. "Well, that's for me to know and you to never know." JR said with a smirk. "Here...just get your bags and come down to the door just tell Bianca I'm down here and I waved you down." JR said.
"Ok...thanks daddy." Bess said before hanging up and opening the door and getting her bag, not caring about the looks she was getting from the three women.
"Is your father here now?" Bianca asked as she stood up. "I'll walk you down."
"No...that's ok." Bess said looking at Erica and Kendall. "You have guests. I'll call you when I get home." Bess said as she headed for the door and picked up her things. Throwing over her shoulder as if an after thought. "Have a nice day mean and meaner." Bess said as she shut the apartment door and then ran down the hallway knowing Kendall was coming after her, because she heard her scream something down the hall way.
"You better run you little punk!" Kendall yelled and then shut the door and laughed.
"Kendall..." Bianca said shaking her head. "Can't you two be nice to her?" She asked her mother and sister.
"Why should we?" Kendall asked. "She's never nice to us."
"Maybe she isn't because you two aren't nice to her." Bianca said. "She's not like JR. She's her own person."
"Yeah...well the brat sure got some major points with me for actually calling mom meaner." Kendall said smiling.
"How do you know she was calling me meaner? And not you?" Erica asked flabbergasted.
"Oh please..." Kendall said shaking her head. "You know you're the meaner one."
Erica huffed and took about drinking out of her tea cup.
