Chapter 17: Brightest Star

"Hey Jimmy long time no see,"Jenny stood behind the game room playing a solo game of pool. "You guys want to join me?"

"Umm I." Craig stuttered

"No," Jimmy interrupted. "I should've known it, how much did my dad pay you to baby sit me?"

"Jimmy you're not a baby anymore," Jenny replied

"The way my dad treats me I might as well be," Jimmy said while coming closer towards Jenny.

"Look, your dad didn't pay me I was told to watch the place by your uncle and my mom," Jenny replied. "She just didn't think it would be right to have teenage boys here all alone without a home cook meal once and while."

"So you're here to cook?" Jimmy asked.

"Look at me," Jenny turned around. "Do I look like I could be a house maid."

"No." Craig exclaimed.

"Exactly," Jenny replied. "My mom thinks I can cook even though I used most of the money she sent me for school in New York not for culinary classes but acting. I'm an actress now but there's a great place around the corner that delivers 24/7 so we pretty much won't starve and my mom froze some food in the freezer down in the basement in case we run out of funds."

"Who is we," Jimmy asked."You're not staying here there's no way my uncle would do that to me, you terrorized me every summer I came here."

"Don't worry," Jenny answered. "I'm twenty-one an adult now, I'm way past the terrorizing stage and you won't even know I'm here most of the time I promise I won't make a peep, I have to do publicity work anyway."

"Publicity what for," Jimmy asked.

"That's where I know you from." Sean replied. "You're on that soap Love Of Our Lives my mom watches that show all the time but no you can't be her she has long dark hair or something."

"Oh I wear this for privacy and I cut my hair after my last taping ." Jenny took off her wig, laid it on the pool table and revealed a short bob haircut underneath it. "I like this cut ten times better but my character will be a blond after I come back from the dead this fall so I have to get used to the wig."

"I knew you were coming back, my mom always said you weren't dead."

"Honey, Theresa Isabella Gomez-Loren never dies." Jenny said in a mixture of Latino-Italian accent.

"What," Craig exclaimed.

"Yeah Sean, I didn't know you watched soaps." Jimmy giggled.

"My mom makes me watch them." Sean replied defensively. "There's really nothing to do in Wasaga in the winter but steal, get into trouble or watch tv. I watched tv and plus it was the only way me and my mom spent any quality time together." Sean changed the subject quickly. "So how long are you staying here?"

"More like where?" Jimmy interrupted

"Don't worry Jimmy this house has six rooms and I won't take the master although Issac has a room all set up for you and your guest or should I say guests now he didn't tell me you were bringing anyone else, which one's Craig."

"I am," Craig waved.

"Oh, well I can show you your room first since it's right by the game room." Jenny grabbed her wig and twirled it around her finger. "You can follow me."

"Umm OK," Craig followed her.

"I guess we should follow her too." Sean said to Jimmy.

"You go on ahead I just want to look around a bit." Jimmy replied before going in the opposite way from the Jenny and the guys.

"Hey there's a beach," Spinner pointed out.

"I see it," Jay glanced in his rear-view mirror at the elderly couples, families, children playing in the sandbox and ocean. "Jay rode by the parking lot."

"Why didn't you stop," Spinner asked. "I thought we were going to the beach."

"I said we were going to look around." Jay replied "Anyway that beach has a bunch of kids and old people in it."

"No it doesn't," Spinner pointed to a couple of teenagers playing beach volleyball in the sand.

"This is the Hampton's OK, we came here to meet real women not teenagers, you know celebrities."

Spinner rolled his eyes. "Jay just because this is the Hampton's and they have a couple of stars vacationing doesn't mean there going to want to hang with a couple of nobody's or more like losers like us. Anyway the last time I was here the stars kept to themselves unless you're rolling in money you won't have a chance to see anyone most of their houses are hidden away from the public not to mention their parties are exclusive we couldn't get in their if we tried."

"Spinner you're not hanging with your loser frineds you probably couldn't get into a party or dine with any celebrities but I will. Just remember when I do you don't know me."

"Whatever," Spinner shrugged as Jay drove on.

"This is your room." Jenny showed Craig his room.

"Whoa," Craig whispered. He stared at the room which had pictures of Rock stars posted all on it from Elvis, Hendrix, to the Ramones, Bob Marley and the Beatles, rock paraphernalia everywhere and a stereo system with a wide selection of music.

"This is the music room" Jenny replied and since I heard your a musician I knew this would be the perfect place for you to sleep."

"This is..wow," Craig said with a lost for words.

"I guess that means you like it." Jenny answered. "I even made the pull out couch into a nice comfy bed this really isn't a bed room you know."

"No it's fine I," Craig pause he noticed a shiny black guitar in the background. "Whoa," Craig picked up the guitar.

"Oh sorry I forgot to put this back in my room." Jenny took the guitar.

"You play the guitar," Craig asked.

"Yeah I use to be in a band before I got into acting but I don't play this one too much, it was a gift from my dad, he gave it to me before he." Jenny paused. "Before he died, he was in a band and legend has it Santana himself strummed on this guitar and came up with a one of his most know number one hits."

Craig grabbed for the guitar before remembering Jenny's little explanation. "Can I hold it again?"

"Yeah," Jenny gave the guitar back to Craig. He strummed a couple of chords on the guitar before handing it back to Jenny. "Not bad," Jenny stated. "You know what, why don't you hold on to it for a while maybe it will give you some inspiration."

"Thanks but I couldn't" Craig passed it back.

"Take it" Jenny insisted. Craig accepted the guitar and strummed random chords on it. Jenny turned to Sean. "I don't know what you're into but there is a room across the hall from where I'm staying at."

"It doesn't matter." Sean said.

"Well I'll show it to you later." Jenny searched around the room for Jimmy. "Hey, where's Jimmy?" Before Sean could say a word Jenny ran out of the room and found Jimmy sitting in a room a few steps down the hall.

"So I guess this is mine." Jimmy said disappointed while looking at the room. Although it was a nice room the bars on the bed and the one's in the nearby bathroom upset Jimmy.

"Issac thought it would be good for you to have accessible features in your bedroom." Jenny uttered.

"Yeah," Jimmy stared at the room before leaving out. "Maybe we should go get a bite to eat or something."

"I know the perfect place." Jenny exclaimed."I'm going to go change and why don't you guys do the same." Jenny ran to her room.

"We'll I'm going to go take a shower." Jimmy replied. He went into his bathroom.

"Yeah I think I need one too," Craig smelled himself before walking to his room.

"Great might as well go take one too." Sean mumbled to himself.

"Where have you been," A middle aged stumpy short guy with a long pony tail in the back and a receding hair line in the front asked before grabbed Jay.

"Hey man what's your problem." Jay exclaimed he shrugged the guys hands off his arm.Jay was waiting outside for Spinner to get something to eat at a nearby restaurant when the middle age guy ran up to him.

"Don't play dumb with me," The guy screamed. "Did you really think you could hide from me all summer."

"Hey man," Jay hollered even louder. "I don't know who you are or who you think I am but.."

"No buts get in the limo you're going to be late." The middle age guy tried to shove Jay into a limo which drove and then stopped nearby the two.

"Late for what?" Spinner walked up towards Jay and the neurotic middle age guy with a bag full of food. "Are we going somewhere?"

The middle age guy stared at Spinner strangely before turning to Jay. "You just have to bring another college buddy along with you do you remember what happen last year, cost me a fortune, oh well." The middle aged guy opened up the door to the white stretch Cadillac Escalade limo. "If bringing along your frineds is the only way you'll come with me then so be it." He pushed Jay into the limo and grabbed Spinner.

"Hey man what's wrong with you?" Spinner fell into the back seat of the limo dropping his dinner on the ground.

"Don't make a fuss" The neurotic guy got into the limo and slammed the door."Or do you want me to get Bruno." A large guy in the back was sitting opposite from the guys. "And what you did to you're hair, tut tut."

The middle age guy touched Jay's hair. Jay flicked the guys hand off his hair. "You already threw me into this ride, and kidnapped me but don't ever touch my hair."

"Fine," The middle aged guy exclaimed. "But Donna is going to have a lot to work with to get you ready tonight and you." The middle age guy stared at Spinner. "Donna will charge me double for fixing you up. I like it better when you just had a entourage of girls at least they weren't so pricey to fix up." The middle age guy sighed before addressing the driver. "Driver let's get out of here."
