Don't You Remember?

Chapter 3

"That's not what she meant by it! Why must you always take things and throw them out of proportions? You're supposed to be helping me."

"You call me and ask for me to give you my take on the situation. Clearly, this is what I think."

"Then maybe next time I won't ask a child for advice."

"Jesse St. James, I resent that statement."

"Well, I resent the fact that you're almost chastising me, Jenny St. James."

He could almost see her rolling her eyes, her lips in a straight line and standing with her hand upon her hip. She was his sister after all and he'd react in almost the same way.

"Just...Take a step back from your delusional world and look at it with a sense of reality. She hated me, Jen. But she agreed to go with me tomorrow night. She either wants to make me feel horrible about myself and is going to stand me up or she wants a fresh start. That's it."

"You're just lying to yourself, you know I'm right."

It was now his turn to roll his eyes, all but hanging up on his sister.

"Are we going to eat tonight then since your time tomorrow will be occupied by one Rachel Berry?"

"Yes, I'll meet you at the house in twenty."

Brown curls and blue-green eyes met his as he felt her arms tighten around his neck, smiling into the crook of her shoulder as he hugged his little sister. Jenny and Jesse St. James were the only two children of David and Annaline, Jenny being more of Jesse's responsibility than theirs.

His entire life he'd watched over her, protecting her and making sure that she was happy beyond all else but now, it seemed the tables had turned.

"I missed you," she said in a sing-song voice as she pulled away from him, Jesse looking at her with a soft smile. There was no denying they were siblings, it was clear in every inch of them. From the identical curls, to the reflective eyes, the St. James kids were similar in almost every way.

He lead her to their table, the two sitting as they let their thoughts of the passing months go by.

"You going to talk to me about tomorrow or just forget about it?"

"Maybe afterwards."

He could see her frustrations with him growing, her taking the menu and looking over it without another word to him.

They ordered and ate, their conversation flowing easily as it always had. Neither had the nerve or the willpower to bring up his 'date' the following day, Jesse not wanting to snap at his sister and Jenny not in the mood to be yelled at.

"When are you going back to Ohio?" He asked suddenly, knowing that she'd probably stay in the city after her lost at Nationals.

"Tonight, I don't want to stay here anymore."

He gave her a surprised look as she smiled to him once more, standing and lightly kissing his cheek before moving away. "You can pay, I'm going to get my things and go to the airport. See you when you come home."

He laughed lightly as he watched her leave, sighing before throwing down the money and leaving the restaurant after her.

So this was just a REALLY short chapter to introduce Jenny. If you guys like her, I can put her in more. She's my idea from this RP I was in for a while and she's my baby so let me know :)
