K, guys sorry for the delay. Here's more. Thanks so much for all the reviews.

Chapter Ten

Jessica woke up the next morning in Randy's arms. She looked at the clock and saw it was 8:30. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Randy.." Jessica said shaking him gently. He stirred and opened his eyes.

"Hey Angel. What's wrong?" He asked rubbing his own eyes and sitting up.

"I'm gonna be late for school. I didn't wanna just leave and not tell you." Jessica smiled. He looked so cute she thought.

"Well, let me go splash cold water on my face and I'll drive you to school. I need to be going back to Dave. We have this meeting about our last show here tonight." He said walking into the bathroom.

"You're leaving?" Jessica asked kind of upset.

"Well, we've got one more show here, and then we're going to another one..I'm sorry you didn't know that did you." He said sitting down next to her.

"No." She said her eyes welling up with tears.

"Baby, please don't cry. Listen I'll come see you tonight and then I'll bring you to the show. You can see what we do. Then I'll keep in touch I promise."

"Well, we better go. I don't wanna be late." Jessica said standing up and walking out of the room.

Randy drove Jessica to school and all the ride there they didn't say anything else about the show, or Randy leaving. Last night Jessica had felt so close to him and she didn't even know him. She'd told him everything, things she wouldn't tell her very best friends and now he was leaving her to go back to the life she hated.

"Ok, Princess I'll see you later. Want me to come get you?"

"Yeah, that would be nice." Jessica smiled. She leaned over and kissed Randy on the cheek.

"Thanks for everything. I'll see you later." She smiled.

Randy watched her walk into the school doors with a smile. Now all he had to do was tackle Dave about where he was last night. All night for that matter.

When Jessica entered her first class Casey and Dean both stared at her. She smiled and sat at her desk. She actually concentrated through her lesson and was surprised at how clear her head was. She kept thinking about last night and how much Randy had helped her. She felt safe in his arms.

At lunch time Jessica escaped to the library she didn't really want to be around all those people she wanted quiet. She had just sat down when Casey and Dean joined her. Casey didn't look happy and neither did Dean for that matter.

"Hey Guys." Jessica smiled.

"Where the fuck were you last night? ALL night I must add." Casey said.

"I was with a friend. That's all. Why?"

"You're mom called me and asked me where you were, she was so worried about you Jess. What friend?"

"Randy and anyway Dean took me there."

Casey shot Dean a look but his stare continued to stay on Jessica.

"Who is Randy?" Casey asked.

"He's this guy that works with Dave." Jessica said with a smile.

"Well, how do you know him?"

"I just told you, he's my brothers best friend. He's helping me through some stuff that's all." Jessica said. Just then her cell rang.

"Excuse me guys." She said opening it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Princess. I just thought I'd check in. I'm about to see Dave and tell him you're coming to the show. So I'll pick you up from school around...Three?"

"Yes, that would be great. Thanks. See ya later Randy."

"Bye Sweetheart."

Jessica hung up and looked back at her friends.

"I'm gonna go to class now. Catch ya later." She smiled getting up.

Her next class was Algebra. She groaned when she saw Dean coming into the class. He sat next to her and instead of returning her smile he glared at her. She frowned. The teacher wasn't here yet so she leaned over.

"What's up with the stares Dean?"

"You had me worried all night Jessica. I dropped you off and waited all night, till midnight for you to call me to come get you. But instead you stayed over with some guy you don't even know. God Jess, he could have done anything to you. What were you thinking."

"He didn't do anything to me. We talked and just...fell asleep."

"You expect me to believe he didn't try anything with you. He's a pretty boy Jess, those always try it on.

"Ok, so he kissed me. But I kissed him back."

"Well, I'm glad you had fun last night.God, my sister flipped when you told her I took you to him. Thanks for dragging me down with you."

Dean moved and sat over by the wall leaving Jessica stunned at his little outburst.
