Staying Where I Want to Be
A/N: Sorry if there's too much dialogue. I have trouble with descriptions.
Chapter 3
Life was hard to get through, Jessica just went downstairs only to see Nash there with her father. Antonio didn't like what he saw.
" What are you doing here?" Antonio asked Nash.
" Antonio," Jessica said.
" I just came by to see how you are," Nash said, " I don't mean to intrude."
" I had a roght night," Jessica answered, " Thank you for being concerned though."
" You have my support Jessica," Nash said, " I'm not here to cause trouble, even though I do miss Tess."
Antonio didn't like hearing that and just wanted Nash to leave Llanview for good.
" I know," Jessica said, " I know you don't want to cause trouble, but I'm okay."
' Great," Nash said, " Well I'm going to get so breakfast, thank you for the update."
Nash then just left, but thought about Tess.
" I'm not going anywhere Tess," Nash thought, " I'm here and Llanview is where I'll stay."
Back inside the house Antonio just sat on the sofa with Jessica.
" Thank god he left," Antonio said, " Nash wants to cause trouble and bring out Tess."
Jessica sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, Antonio was upsetting her and if he wasn't careful he could bring out Tess.
" Jessica," Antonio said looking at her, " Are you okay?"
" I just wish you wouldn't be so hard on him," Jessica said, " Nash is just trying to support what I am going through."
Nash meanwhile went to the Angel Square Diner for breakfast and he ended up running into Rex Balsom.
" Hey," Rex said, " Nash right?"
" Hey," Nash said, " Where do I know you from?"
" Rex Balsom," Rex said, " The other night at Capricorn?"
" Oh yeah," Nash said, " You went on about someone you couldn't have."
" Adriana," Rex said.
" Still a beautiful name," Nash said, " Don't give up."
" Does that mean you're not giving up on Tess?" Rex asked.
Nash didn't know how to answer that, he didn't plan on giving up on Tess, but he wasn't about to hurt Jessica either. The situation was a real mess.
" No," Nash answered, " But I don't want to hurt anyone either."
" I hear you," Rex said, " You want to join me?"
" Sure," Nash said sitting down.
Rex then saw Adriana come in through the door and just looked at her.
" You okay?" Nash asked.
" Adriana," Rex said pointing.
Nash just looked to where Rex pointed.
" She is beautiful," Nash said, " Some guy must be lucky."
" Yeah," Rex said, " Duke Buchanan," He's Jessica's nephew if you'd like to know."
" It sounded familiar," Nash said, " Too bad for you."
" Rex," Adriana said coming up to him," How are you?"
" I could be better," Rex said, " But I'm fine."
Adriana just walked away. Nash just watched as she walked out the door.
" Nash," he heard.
" Tess?" Nash said looking around.
" What's wrong?" Rex asked him.
" I'm hearing things," Nash said, " I could swear I just heard Tess calling me."
" It's all in your head," Rex said, " Sometimes I hear my ex-girlfriends voice. Her name was Jennifer, she died."
" I'm sorry to hear that," Nash said.
" It's been tough," Rex said, " I'll always miss her."
That's the way Nash felt about Tess, he missed her every second that went by. The way Nash felt about Tess was real and he was not about to give up on her.
