Jessica Wasabi: The End

Chapter Fourteen
Jess' POV

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. "I don't like what you're accusing me of," I said angrily as I crossed my arms. "I'm your wife, Kai, you're supposed to trust me!"

"How can I trust you, Jessica?! How!?" he snapped. "All you've ever done your entire life is lie to your friends and family! How do I know that you're not lying now?!"

I was completely shocked and hurt by his words. "How could you say that...?" I asked quietly. "I... I thought you'd be happy that I'm pregnant..."

"Well... then you're wrong," he told me and stood up.

I wiped tears from my eyes and asked with a breaking voice, "Where are you going...?"

"Anywhere," he replied and opened the front door.

"Kai... Please don't leave me again..."

He looked at me and frowned, then he left, slamming the door behind him. Tears were streaming down my face now and I was struggling to keep myself from sobbing.

Everyone came out of the kitchen, looking worried and sympathetic. I knew they had heard my conversation with Kai. Jack sat next to me, and I knew what he was thinking. "Please don't say it..." I whispered. "Because I want to: You were right about him."

"No, Jess, don't say that," Jack said. "He'll figure out the truth soon enough."

I stood up and wiped my eyes. "I have to talk to him alone..." I left before they could protest.

Kai had stopped to kick a trashcan out of frustration and was still in front of the house. "Kai, please let me talk," I said as I walked up to him.

"No!"

I grabbed his arm. "I'm changing that into a demand: We're talking now!" I snapped.

He pulled away and glared at me. "You cannot tell me what to do, Jessica Wasabi!"

My eyes widened and I raised an eyebrow. "Wasabi? Are you serious?! What happened to Brewer?!"

He shook his head. "No, I need a break, Jess," he said.

"And what about Morgan?!"

He hesitated, clenching his fists. I put my hand on his arm. "Are you going to leave her with me?!" I asked through tears. "I can't handle her alone; you don't know what I've been through since you left. They want to take her away from me, Kai, they'll put her in the System if you don't step up! If you leave, there's no telling what could happen to our daughter! Don't make her go through life without us, Kai! Please don't lea-"

He grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand off of his arm. He gripped my sensitive wrist tightly, making me wince in pain. I tried to pry his hand off but failed. "Kai..." I said through clenched teeth. "you're really hurting me..."

He tightened his grip even more, glaring down at me. I looked at him pleadingly and his expression softened. He hesitantly let my arm go and pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry, Jessi," he said quietly. "I guess I'm overreacting..."

I pushed him away and held my sore wrist. "I can't believe you," my eyes darkened. "You accuse me of having an affair, tell me you need a break, use my sensitive wrist against me... and all you say now is that you're sorry?"

"Jessica-"

"It's Jess!" I snapped.

He raised an eyebrow but didn't question why I had suddenly gone back to my old nickname. "Ok, Jess," he sighed. "I know I was out of line, I know I was being stupid, but... I just don't trust my cousin..."

"Jack!? Of all people, you think that Jack and I...!" I clenched my fists and growled. "Maybe you're right, maybe we do need a break."

"No, Jessi-"

"Don't call me that," I shook my head and sighed. "You know, all of our friends, and your parents... thought we were too young... I didn't believe that, I-I thought that our love would overcome anything... But maybe they were right, maybe we were just too young..."

"Please don't say that, Jess..."

I shrugged. "Already did. Now tell me, Kai, how does it feel when you're the one being told that we need a break?"

"I-"

"And how does it feel, to have the one you love, walk away?"

He stared at me and I returned it sternly before I turned and walked back to the house. My heart ached and I choked back a sob as I stepped into the house. "Morgan," I started with a quiet, breaking voice. "come on, we're going home, babe."

"Daddy's coming too, right, Momma?" she asked as she walked up to me.

I looked at her for a moment, then ran a hand through my hair nervously. "I'm afraid not, sweetheart," I told her. "Daddy needs to work out some problems before he can come home."

"What kind of problems, Momma?" she asked.

"You're too young to understand."

She looked at me and I knew that she wasn't too young, I just didn't want to upset her. She didn't question it further and I led her out to my car. I got her buckled into her car seat and then got into the car. I started the car and pulled away from the curb. Kai was walking down the sidewalk and he looked at the car as we drove past. I saw him give Mo a small smile and then look at the ground, knowing that he may have just ruined our marriage.

Regret filled me and I watched him in the mirror. I wiped away more tears and made a right-hand turn at the corner.

I guess we really were just too young.

The ending was rough but I'm tired so I'm gonna go to bed. Before I go, short story here, my church choir was singing at my friend's grandparents' church for a mother's day thing, and one of the songs we were doing had like, hand motion/clap things, and while we were doing them, my charm bracelet got caught on my necklace in the middle of the song and I, along with the friends who had seen what happened, were freaking out (this was last night btw). And after a second of struggling with it, I just take of my bracelet, put it on the ground, and quickly try to get back me and my partner back in sync with the others. Oh, it was terrible but it was so funny.

We have do the same song at my church's mother/daughter banquet on Tuesday, so uh, this time I'm not gonna wear the bracelet...

Anyway, happy mother's day to all mothers out there!

Have a blessed day,
