Hey, hey, hey!! New chapter!


SecondStarToTheRight18 – Lea is 16 and Timothy is 17. I like how you always say I write like it's more real life. And then I realize it's true. And btw you do to. It makes the story easier to relate to I think. And omg am I that predictable?!

Marian - Thanks for the review! Enjoy!


"Are you sure, Whitney?" I said. I was getting ready to go to Jesse's house with Jessica to do some major cleaning and house keeping.

"It will be fine. You said Jesse's mom was gonna be here after lunch. I can take care of Jamie. Don't worry." Whitney said.

"See? Everything will be fine. Let's go!" Jessica said, practically pushing me out the door.

When we pulled up to Jesse's house, Timothy, Scot, and some guy I didn't recognize, was talking to Jesse in his front yard. When I got out of the care Jesse's face lit up with a huge smile, he pointed to me, and said something to the stranger. I was too far away to hear what Jesse had said, but as I was walking up I heard the stranger's reply, "And who's with her?"

Timothy, who had been too busy talking to Scot, finally turned, and saw us. "Hey." He smoothly said to Jessica putting an arm around her shoulder.

"Hey yourself." Jessica said, flirting back.

"Jessica!" I said, surprised. "…is my good friend who is going to going to help us today." I quickly said to cover my goof.

"So lemme guess…your Scot, and your Timothy, and I know who you are Jesse. Who are you?" Jesse said, correctly pointing out each person but the stranger.

"Oh, this is my friend Kaylob. I thought we could use some muscles, besides mine." Timothy said.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Nice to meet you. Let's get to work. They are going to drop off the new couch tomorrow, so I would like to get at least the living room done today. This is where those muscles will come in handy. I need all you guys to get the furniture out and get that nasty couch out of here. I'll clean the carpets and the furniture will be able to come back in. Jessica and I will clean the bedrooms." I said.

"Mainly only three rooms need to be done. That is the bedrooms and the living room. I'm hoping that we can finish moving the furniture out of at least Jamie's future room and get the living room today. Then tomorrow we can paint Jamie's room and get the master bedroom organized." Jesse said.

"But of course, you don't have to help with the master bedroom. I'm going to be a little bossy on that room." I said.

"Let's get this done." Kaylob said. He looked excited to use his muscles to use his muscles. This boy had to be 16 or 17 but he was huge with rippling muscles. He was kinda scary looking.

"Timothy, Kaylob, and Dad can you get started moving the small stuff out. You can put it on the patio. I'm going to talk to Becca really quick." Jesse said.

"I'm just going to go to Jamie's room and get started." Jessica said, she winked at me before she followed the guys inside.

"What do we need to talk ab…" I started but I was interrupted by a kiss.

"It's been a while since I kissed you." Jesse said, with a smile. He tightened his arms around me and pulled me closer.

"It has been a while." I said, kissing him again.

"There is something we do need to talk about though." Jesse said into my ear.

"What might that be?" I said.

"The wedding. I want to do it right. I want your dad to give you away." Jesse said.

"No." I said in a hushed whisper.

"Rebecca, you're going to regret it if we don't at least try to get them to agree." Jesse said.

I couldn't speak, all I could do was remember that last moment I spoke to them.

Beginning of Flashback

"Rebecca! How are you sweetie?" My mom, Caroline said, as she opened the door.

"I need you're help." I quietly said.

"What is it? Are you in trouble with money? I thought you had a nice job last time we talked." Caroline said.

"No. I'm not worried about money now. I know you don't approve of boys at all. But I need your help. You're the only thing I have left." I said, tears slipping down my eyes.

"Boys? Come inside. Let me get your father. Roger! Please come into the family room." Caroline said. Her voice had gone up an octave. I knew she was scared about what I was going to say.

"Hey, Rebecca. How's the job?" Roger said, sitting on the couch next to me.

"Fine." I said.

"What's the matter?" He said, worried.

"I met this guy and I was hoping that I would get to introduce you guys to him, but it didn't work out." I said.

"Did he hurt you?" Roger said.

"Just my heart. I know that this goes against everything you taught me, but I can't take it back. I got really serious with this guy. I need help from you. You taught me I could always rely on you." I said.

"You had sex before marriage!" Roger said, furious.

"I'm sorry. I thought I was in love." I guilty said; my head bowed in shame.

"You're pregnant!" Roger yelled.

I just nodded. "You little whore." Caroline said, slapping my face.

"Mom!" I said, surprised. "Please, help me." I said, tears running down my face.

"God is the only one who can help you now." Roger said.

"Daddy." I said, struggling to stand.

"DON'T! You are no daughter of mine!" Roger yelled.

"But…" I said, stumbling backwards.

"Get out of here! My daughter would've never done this to me! Never come back and never bring that abomination of a child around here!" Roger said, opening the door and shoving me out.

"Mom! Dad! Please! I have no one else!" I cried, still on the ground.

"That is no one but your own fault. You should've thought about that before you ruined yourself." Caroline said.

"Daddy, I'm still you're little girl. I still need your help." I said.

He looked at me with empty eyes and turned back into the house like he didn't hear me.

"Momma, you said you would take care of me…no matter what." I said.

"You're a grown up now." She said, closing the door. They both left me crying on the lawn.

"NO!" I screamed. I jumped up and banged on the door, hysterics rushing through me. I slid down the door and cried on the porch. I'd eventually left with a cold heart…

End of Flashback

"They hate me." I whispered.

"No, they love you. They just were scared. They made a mistake." Jesse said.

"It's too soon for me to talk to them." I said.

"When do you want to get married?" Jesse said.

"As soon as possible." I admitted.

"Then we should see your parents as soon as possible." Jesse said.

I sighed and said, "Can we talk about this later?"

"I would rather you just agree with me." Jesse said.

"I need to think about it." I said.

"That's fine." Jesse said, kissing me softly. "Let's get this done."

The living room was finished and we were able to paint part of Jamie's room before dinner. By that time, we decided we would finish tomorrow. Jessica left with Timothy. She mumbled something about having dinner with him.

"So, have you thought about it?" Jesse asked me.

He was sitting in the passenger seat of my car. I was anxious to get home to Jamie. "Yes." I quietly said.

"And?" Jesse said.

"You're right." I said.

"When do we see them?" Jesse asked.

"After we finish your place, but before I move in." I said.

"In two days." Jesse decided.

"Sounds like it." I said.

What do you think? Interesting… Please review!
Lots of Love,
