"Jessie" John called to her from the living room "Trish and I are going to pick up some food we'll be back in just a bit, don't really feel like eating out" Jessie called an ok back to him and kept reading her book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Trish whispered to John before they left the room. She eyed Randy, who was standing next to her, warily.
"Honey" John said in a soft tone "Jessie and Randy need to at least try and work things out and we both know she won't willingly go to him to do it so it needs to be done this way. I mean if she doesn't want to talk to him right now Randy can just leave but this gives the opportunity to have everything between them aired out". Trish sighed softly to herself and agreed to go along with John, knowing that he wouldn't willingly let anything happen to Jessie or cause her any anguish of any kind.
Jessie was sitting on her bed reading her book when Randy walked in. He stood in the door way, leaning against the frame watching her. She hadn't noticed him so he decided to speak "wow that's a big, thick book". Jessie startled a bit then looked up at him with a cold gaze.
"What are you doing here?" her voice dripped venom and Randy knew that things would be harder than he thought. He took a deep breath and started, making sure to think out his words before he spoke them.
"Well" he said "I want to get things back the way they were between us".
"Oh" Jessie said, almost sarcastically "well unless some miracle happens then that will never happen".
"Jessie please" Randy pleaded with her "please just give me a chance".
"You don't get it do you Randy?" Jessie asked him, shaking her head "I did give you a chance. When I first met you I gave my trust, nor my love to anyone. No one at all. I had been burned way too many times and I didn't see the point in giving anything of myself to anyone when I knew all that would happen would be that I'd live to regret it" Jessie stopped then, looking down at the bedspread away from Randy's face "until I met you. Randy I gave you my trust before I gave my dad my trust. If you want to know I gave you my trust fully around the time that Josh attacked me in the gym, I didn't give my dad my full trust until the trial started. Its harsh and surprising I know but its true. But obviously that was a mistake. I lived to regret it like I did before". Randy was shocked speechless he didn't really know what to say.
"Sweetie I..." Jessie didn't let him finish his sentence though.
"Randy don't" she spoke out "don't. See, you don't understand. Try as you might you just absolutely don't understand how hard it is for me to trust, to love. I've been burned way too many times in my life. It's almost been a constant thing. One thing after another. That makes it hard for me to trust. It makes it hard for me to open up and let people fully see who I am and how I feel. When someone betrays me its like they've ripped my heart out of my chest. Its hard to get over something like that Randy. Really hard" she looked up at him then. "Randy how can I be so sure you won't do that again? How can I give you my trust, give you my love again? How can I know that I can trust you". Jessie was crying at this point. Her composure was still in tact but she couldn't help the tears.
"Jessie" Randy spoke up quietly. He had listened to what she had said and it had broken his heart that he had been one of the people to cause Jessie mental anguish. "What can I do to show you that you can trust me, tell me anything within my power and I'll do it".
"Randy I don't know" Jessie said sighing. She didn't know what someone could do to show her that she could trust them she just always thought trust had to be given by her when she felt someone deserved to have it not the other way around.
"Anything Jessie" Randy said, almost pleading with her. He came and sat on the edge of her bed and looked her in the eyes. She saw the unshed tears in his eyes and knew that he was serious about this.
"Randy I..." she sighed, she knew she had to think of something that Randy could do that would show her that she could trust him again. She racked her brain trying to think, which wasn't easy seeing as Randy was sitting on the edge of her bed staring at her. Finally it hit her "have a match" Randy looked at her confused "tag with dad with some other person against Paul, Ric and someone else".
"Ok" Randy said.
"If you get through the match and don't screw my dad over then I will forgive you and work on being able to trust you again" Randy got this relieved look on his face and hugged Jessie tightly.
"Thank you" he choked out through the tears that were threatening to fall. He got up and started making his way out of the room.
"Randy" Jessie called to him before he could leave. He turned back and looked at her with an inquisitive look "win the match too". Randy nodded and left, greatful that he was getting the chance to make things right with Jessie. After he conquered this he'd begin working on Alexis and then hopefully he'd have his life back.
I know this chapter isnt all that long and maybe isnt all that good but it has what I want in it
