Jory's POV. You'll find out later why Kelsey really wasn't there. Big things are going to happen to the Atwood clan. Hmmm! Can't wait! And don't hate me for the ending of this pretty please!
Chapter 6
My sister is completely insane but this weekend she has decided to not go to daddy's so it's up to both Millie and I to find something out about Rebecca Long, the woman who could possibly become our step-mother if Kelsey's little plan doesn't go correctly. I agree with my sister that daddy isn't supposed to be with this woman but is he supposed to be with mom? I mean if they were really meant to be together wouldn't they be? Would mom have left daddy when she did if they were supposed to be married? I don't know all I know is I don't want daddy marrying this Newport Beach Barbie who spends more money on a purse than my mom does on my school tuition.
Kelsey's sitting in the back of mom's car with me whispering to me everything I need to find out. Apparently the only way she could stay home for the weekend was if she drove over to Newport with us. I'm not even sure how she got our parents to agree to let her skip on a weekend at daddy's. I just wish she was going to be staying because I really don't want to snoop alone, I will, but I won't like it. Well, I won't be alone, I'll have my smart little sister but still…Millie and I barely get along how does Kelsey think we could work together to help bring down Rebecca?
"Jordyn Rayn Atwood, you need to stop getting so big!" Aunt Julie greeted me at the front door of her mansion. I only rolled my eyes at the old woman and walked past her to find my daddy. Daddy said Aunt Julie wasn't any better at motherhood than Veronica was. He told me she had two daughters. One's gone and the other doesn't keep in contact barely at all. Aunt Julie is married to Uncle Neil, who is Aunt Summer's dad. Sometimes I get confused with all of this extended family but daddy says no matter if these people aren't blood that they are family. I guess he's right but even though Veronica Townsend is my grandmother I refuse to acknowledge the old bat.
"Jory, that was rude." Daddy said coming up beside me. "But it's okay." He leaned over and whispered in my ear smiling. I nod my head.
"So, where's the whore?" I ask point blank crossing my arms over my chest. Daddy doesn't get on to me he only laughs and shakes his head. He knows that mom let's us say whatever is on our mind so he goes along with it. Plus, he probably thinks I got that from my mother. Mom never outright called her a whore but you can totally tell she wants to.
"No idea. Where's your mother?" His eyes lit up. I nodded my head back towards the door. I watched as he walked swiftly to the door to talk to mom. I was surprised. He usually hated talking to her.
"Jor, are you sure you can do this?" Kelsey approached me.
"It'd be much better with you here but I'm sure I can handle this. Now I would really like to know why you're not coming this weekend." I raised my eyebrow at her. She frowned at me.
"None of your business."
"You're bailing on your poor dear sister and you can't even tell her your reason?" I scoffed.
"Jory…don't tell daddy but…" She bit her lip glancing around the room. "There's this guy his name is Jason and he asked me to go out tonight and I just couldn't say no."
"Mom knows?" I ask her.
"Of course. She's the one who called daddy to make up an excuse for me to not come this weekend. Now, please be careful and don't let daddy on to you and your snooping. Keep Millie quiet." She told me sternly.
"Got it, Captain." I nod at her.
"Great, love you sis." She hugged me before walking out of the house.
"Well if it isn't the dark vampire child." I heard her high-pitched voice from behind me. My body cringed. I totally hate this woman.
"Well if it isn't the gold digging bimbo." I turn around to face the tall brunette woman. Sure, she's pretty but she's too tall for daddy. I don't know how daddy figures that this woman is right for him. Obviously she is all wrong considering how she treats both Kelsey and I. Millie's the perfect little angel in her eyes or that's what I over heard her telling Aunt Summer whom I know hates her as much as Kelsey and I do.
"Ry-an! Make her stop! She's such a freaking bitch!" The 25-year old woman stumped when my daddy walked into the room. I laughed at her.
"And you're supposed to be older than me." I rolled my eyes at the woman. Daddy's hand laid on my shoulder and he started telling Rebecca to leave me alone. I shot the woman a satisfied grin. Daddy totally loves me more.
I glanced back and I saw mom standing there. She looked pissed off glaring at Rebecca. I seriously have never seen my mother with such venom in her eyes before. "Wait, who gave you the right to talk to my daughter the way you did?" Mom spoke up which completely surprised everything in the room. Apparently she heard the 'dark vampire child' thing that Rebecca had come up with. Or maybe it was the bitch part?
"I got that right when you divorced my fiancé." Great. Did Rebecca have a freaking death wish? I looked at daddy pleading for him to do something but he wasn't. He was just standing there watching the woman the woman yell at each other.
"Don't you fucking ever talk to me like that! I want you nowhere near me or my daughters." I had never heard my mother use that word. It sort of shocked me. Go Mom! Wait, no. If I wasn't going to be around Rebecca then I wouldn't get to find her flaws! I wouldn't get to find something on her to make daddy not want to marry her! "Jordyn get in the car!" She pointed towards the door. I was about to protest when I saw the look in her eyes.
"Wait, Taylor please don't do this." Daddy finally spoke up. Mom's face actually softened a little at his voice. You could just see it that they were still in love. It was kind of sickening.
"And why not, Ryan? She just called my daughter a bitch! Why you didn't even say anything is beyond me!" The softening of her face disappeared as she glared at daddy. Great, just freaking great. Totally how I wanted to start my Saturday morning. In the middle of a freaking fight.
"I'll deal with that later, Taylor…but please this is the only time I get to see the girls…don't take that away from me." I swear daddy was pleading with her. His voice was soft which in turn softened her face once again. The woman melted at his voice. Wow, my mother had it bad. Still.
"Ry, please just…" My eyes widened when mom called daddy that. She never referred to him as 'Ry' it was always Ryan or my ex-husband but never a pet name. I heard daddy chuckled a little. He had the widest grin on his face.
"Ryan, stop flirting with your ex-wife." Rebecca spoke in from behind all of us. All three of us looked back at the woman. She looked furious.
"If my daughters weren't here right now I would fucking gut you." Once again my mother has blown me away with her amazing choice of words.
"Rebecca why don't you just head home…" Daddy ran his hand through his hair annoyed at the brunette.
"Don't think that's going to happen, baby. Not leaving until you do." She smirked at us. I hated when she called my daddy baby. It was disgusting. Well actually everything Rebecca Long did disgusted me.
"Rebecca, leave!" Daddy was loud. Which in turn made Millie run into the room with Kelsey close behind.
"What's going on here?" My older sister asked us.
"Rebecca called me a bitch." I shrugged.
"Watch it!" Mom and daddy both said at the same exact time. That was freaky. "Sorry." I swear to God they need to stop doing that.
"Rebecca daddy's right you should probably just go home." I turned around to her. She glared at me.
"Jory, stop it." Mom warned with the point of a finger.
"Got it." I nodded smiling at her and then at Rebecca who just gave me an evil grin. I seriously can not see what daddy sees in this woman. I wasn't sure what exactly was going to happen next because mom was still shooting daggers Rebecca's way.
"Mom, I'm going to be late…you know for that…thing." Kelsey widened her eyes at our mother. Mom just nodded looking a little sad. "Bye Jor. Love you daddy." Kelsey kissed him on the cheek and hugged me again. "Bye Mills." Kelsey hugged our youngest sister.
Mom walked over and pulled me into a tight hug. I tried to act like I didn't like when mom hugged me but I actually felt better, safer whenever she would embrace me.
Mom left with Kelsey so now I was in the backseat of daddy's car on the short drive to his house. The one I had lived in the for the first three years of my life. The one he now shared with his new fiancé.
Once there daddy announced he and Rebecca were going out to get dinner. I smiled over at Millie. Perfect time to snoop. "Come on, Millie." I urged pulling her along with me even though she was protesting. "I thought you wanted to be a part of this." I glared.
"I do but…going through her things?" She gave me a strange look.
"Well we need ammo to take her down!" I told her.
"Fine but I'm not touching anything." She told me.
"Whatever, come on." I grabbed her hand and dragged her along with me. Once inside daddy and Rebecca's room I went straight to her jewelry box. Nothing. I walked into the bathroom. Sitting on the counter was something I hadn't been expecting. I screamed for Millie. Her eyes widened at the sight.
"Is that…is that a pregnancy test?" She whispered like someone could hear her.
"Read it." I pushed her towards the sink.
"Jory, that's private!" She stomped her foot.
"Not anymore." I huffed walking over and looking down at it. "Fine I'll read it." I picked up making sure not to touch anything gross on it. No, this wasn't happen. So this was a complete change in our plans when I looked over at Millie she knew. This wasn't good. "Call Kelsey." I was barely able to choke out swallowing hard as I threw the stick down into the sink and stomped off out the door.
