Chapter three - God blessed the broken road

The dark haired adult slowly opens his eyes only to get blinded by the sunlight. He groans as he rolls over so his back is facing the windows. "Damn headache" He mumbles into his pillow while stretching his hand. Suddenly his hand lands on something soft and warm. Opening his eyes he stares at the petite brunette that is laying in his bed naked. His eyes scan her face since he can't remember anything at all that happened last night.

Her eyes are closed and she is sleeping peacefully while her long brown curly hair is all around her face because of the wild night the two shared. The woman next to him reminds him of someone he once met, making his headache get even worse. "Ughh" He groans while letting himself fall back against his pillow, awakening the woman next to him.

The young woman opens her eyes and faces a wall she can not recognize. Her eyes then travel to the man next to her who is looking at the ceilling not even bothering to look at her. "John?" She asks quietly as she starts to sit up with the blankets around her body.

The man turns his head to meet two pairs of dark brown eyes. He doesn't know if he is disappointed or relieved since his mind was showing him two pairs of hypnotizing blue eyes. Shaking his head, he tries to get ride of the feelings that confuse him. He looks back at the woman before facing way from her by rolling onto his stomach. "You can leave now"

The woman opens her mouth to say something but the shock at how he is treating her makes her stay silent. After some time she scoffs while getting up and collecting all her belongings. "I guess it's true what they say" She finally says with narrowed eyes as she is standing by his door with only the blanket covering her body. "You are a heartless asshole!" She yells at him before leaving this hell.

John waits till he hears the front door close before opening his eyes. "Thanks" He mumbles to himself with a smirk. Then he gets off of his bed and puts on his boxers before walking downstairs into his kitchen.

"Mom!" Miley yells loudly while storming downstairs into the living room where Jessica is reading the newspaper. "Miley Ray haven't I told you not to run like this in this house?" She finally looks up to meet the excited eyes of her daughter. "Mom, Nick is having a pool party. Can I go? Please?" Miley starts begging totally ignoring what her mother said to her a few seconds ago.

Sighing, Jessica puts the newspaper on the coffee table beofre patting the spot next to her, signaling her daughter to sit down so she does. "Miley, you know that I don't like parties right?" Miley nods her head and she thinks back at the time her mother told her about her father and everything that happened. "But I won't drink anything! Plus, Nick will look after me!"

Jessica bites down on her bottom lip as she starts to think about it. Just then Marc walks in with sweat running down his body. "I can tell you it's really hot out there but atleast the garden looks fine now." He stops talking once he notices the serious face of his wife. His eyes then land on Miley who is looking at him with begging eyes.

Raising an eyebrow he starts to walk towards the couch. "What do you want now, kiddo?" He asks while patting Mileys head teasingly. Miley glares at him but it soon turns into a charming smile, making Marc chuckle. "I wanna go over to Nick but Mom won't let me." Marc looks at his wife confused since Miley wouldn't even have to ask if she wanted to go over.

Jessica gives Miley a look before turning her attention towards Marc. "He is having a pool party" She clears the situation, making Miley roll her eyes. Marc soon gets what this is about so he takes a seat next to Miley. "Miles" He whispers softly, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her into his bare chest. Miley immediately cringles her nose because of his sweat. "Eww"

At that Marc laughs out loud. "You are one of a kind" He tells her before pecking her forhead. "But you have to understand your mother" Miley looks up at him with sad eyes. "But Marc, Nick wouldnt let me drink. You know that!" Marc looks over at his wife who holds her serious gaze so he looks back down at Miley. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid that includes drinking or boys"

Mileys eyes light up in excitement. "Oh my god!" She squeezes. "I love you Marc!" She wraps her arms tightly around him with a big grin on her features. "But Marc" Miley turns her head to see her mother look at him with a hard look on her face. He just shakes his head as he looks at Miley with a soft smile. "You can not hold her back from the things teenagers do just because of bad memories."

His dark eyes meet Jessica's blue ones and hers soften a bit. "You have to trust her just like I do and I know you also do." With that he leans down and kisses Mileys forhead. "Don't make me regret this" He whispers softly into her ear, earning a kiss on his cheek from Miley. "Thanks"

The two adults watch her run upstairs into her room eagerly. "I trust you" Jessica whispers worried while her eyes gaze into his. "And I trust her" He tells her while pulling her closer to him so her head is resting on his chest. He kisses the top of her head lovingly. "Nothing will happen" Jessica nods her head slowly before kissing his bare chest softly. "I love you" She whispers softly, making Marc smile with happines. "I love you, too" He tells her honestly before he starts to run his hand down her back, rubbing it so she can relax a bit. "I'm so glad I met you" He tells her. "You two made my life complete" Jessica pulls away just a bit so she can looks into his eyes and the smile that she sees makes her heart fill with love. "Marc" She whispers softly as she starts to lean in. Their lips meet and it feels just like the first time the two shared a kiss. It's full of love and passion, making the pain Jessica is feeling go away.

After a while the two pull away and Jessica rests her head once again on his built chest. "Thank you" She whispers while closing her eyes. Marc knows that this simple 'thank you' is not just for finding a solution for this situation. It's for everything he has done to keep this family together. But he knows that God blessed the broken rode that led him straight to Jessica.
