Chapter Seven

Randy watched Jessica walk down the street until she was just a speck in the distance. He then went back to Dave who was waiting in the parking lot of the bar for him.

"She's fine. I watched her walk down the street. Now do you want to tell me what all the was about?" Randy said getting in the car.

"I'll tell you later." Dave said driving towards the Hotel.

When they finally got to the Hotel Randy was interested even more as to Dave's explanation. Jessica couldn't have been anymore than seventeen and he wondered how Dave knew a girl of that age. They went up to the room they were sharing and Dave sat down and sighed.

"I guess you want to know now right?"

Randy nodded. "Yeah." He said sitting down

"Well, about ten years ago I left home. I also left my brother and sisters behind. Jessica, she's my little sister. She was seven when I left and I promised her I'd go back for her..Our mom she was married to an abusive drunk and I just left because I couldn't take anymore."

"Why didn't you go back for her?"

"I don't know. I scored big with the wwe and just...forgot about my life and family back there."

"What? How the fuck do you forget about you're family? I mean they should be number one on you're list of priorities Dave. Man I'd do anything for my family and my sister especially and here you are, leaving yours behind and making her broken promises that you'll go back for her. Man she was seven." Randy said with frustration.

"I know Randy, don't you think I've thought about that. I just didn't know what to do. I thought she'd forget, she was a child."

"She was seven. Seven year olds don't forget Dave especially their brothers. I saw Jessica's face tonight when she saw you. she didn't look like the kinda 'Child' that would forget her brother left her when she was seven and promised he'd go back and take her out of the family he escaped because he couldn't live in it anymore. She looked hurt."

"You're not making me feel any better you know." Dave said feeling sorry for himself.

"Good. I'm not trying to make YOU feel better Dave. Jessica is the victim here and I really feel sorry for her. Man you didn't handle that so well back there. What you gonna do now?"

Dave shrugged. "I don't know. She probably hates me now. She won't talk to me again, at least I don't think she will..Maybe you could talk to her for me?"

"No, you did this mess before you met me and you are not dragging me into it now. I'll make sure she's alright but that's it. You're on your own on this one." Randy said standing up and leaving the room.

He was so angry at Dave for pulling all this out right now and making him think about his sister back home. He'd always made promises to his sister but he'd always kept them and here Dave was, causing his sister heartbreak. Just then his cell rang and he rushed to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Randy? It's Jesse."

"Hey, Jess.."

"Hey, Umm just to let you know I got home ok I promised you I would.Thanks for helping me tonight. I'll uhh..see you around I guess." She said not knowing what to say.

"Jess, Dave told me you were his sister. He also told me a little about what happened too. I...I wanna ask, if you'd like to meet me tomorrow. We could talk." Randy hoped she'd say yes, he wanted to help her.

Jessica thought about it for a second. "Sure. I have school though. I'll call you after."

"Not if I call you first." Randy said smiling.

Jessica giggled. "Alright..well, cya." She said hanging up.

Randy put his phone away and decided he wouldn't tell Dave he was meeting Jessica tomorrow. Instead he'd wait until after the meeting. He wanted to find out all the details from her.
