Chapter Six
Randy had been sitting at home feeling sorry for himself ever since Dave had given him back the pink diamond ring he had given to Jessica. He hadn't seen anyone at the shows because he did a pretty good job at avoiding them. He'd tried calling Jesse at least 20 times in the last 2 weeks, but everytime he dialled the number he'd hang up never knowing what he'd say to her when she answered.
Today wasn't any different. Randy was sitting in the living room watching the blank screen of the tv when his door bell rang. He hoped it wasn't Dave again. Maybe Jessica had said something and now Dave was here to kick his ass. But when he opened the door and saw Eddie standing there he knew that was worse than Dave kicking his ass. Eddie had this way of showing you how disappointed he was in someone. It wasn't nice and Randy hated making someone disappointed in him.
"What can I do for you Eddie?"
"Well, for starters you could ask me inside."
Randy stepped aside and closed the door.
"I'm here because I've just seen Jessica."
Randy looked at him. "Is she alright?"
"She's fine. But she needs your support Randy."
"I know. But I don't know what to do."
"You need to get you head out of your ass, quit feeling sorry for yourself and get over to see her."
Randy just nodded. He knew Eddie was right.
"You need to stand up to what you've done. You need to be in this together. I'm here because you're supposed to be a man Randy, not a child. Start acting like a man."
Randy nodded again. "I'll go see her."
"Good. I'll be asking her if you've actually done what you just told me. Don't let me down Randy."
"I won't." Eddie nodded.
"I'll see you later."
"See you Eddie."
Eddie left and Randy sat down. Eddie was right. He had to go and see Jessica. He picked up his credit card and called the airport. He booked a flight for tomorrow and started packing his stuff. Tomorrow he was going to fix things. Stand by Jessica and their baby. He just hoped she would let him.
