Jessica was on the edge of her seat watching the season premiere of Real Housewives of Sweet Valley. She hated to admit it, she was an addict. There was a newest addition to the cast, Elizabeth's old tormenter, and ex roommate, Celine Bordeaux. At the moment was screaming at her staff about the color of her table cloths. Ugh. Guess she finally got her trust fund from her southern granny.
Jessica laughed when Allison Quinn aka, Allison Wilbourne, was arguing back. At the moment, they were throwing a birthday dinner party for Allison's husband, Peter. Peter and Allison. The face of SVU's greek row Sigma and Theta. Guess they hooked up after college. Allison never changed. She was still as insufferable as ever. Peter seemed more quiet, but fought with his wife sometimes.
During the commercial break, she called her old friend, Lila. Lila was doing great, she was deciding on which company to sell her app to. Both gave very generous offers. Fowler Enterprise was still running well, thanks to Lila's smarts. George was still running the company, but now was part time, ever since his heart attack a few years ago; his wife Grace, refused to have her husband die on the job.
Lila was complaining she wasn't feeling like herself. She's been sick these last few weeks. Jessica knew she just got over a cold, maybe she was relapsing. Lila said she taking homeopathic supplements and wasn't worried. She claimed that modern medicine was the problem. Jessica scoffed, and told her not to buy into that bullshit. They talked for a few minutes till Lila said Bruce was calling her. Jessica smiled and teased Lila about not having sexy talk with Bruce with her mom and dad home. Lila just gave a snarky remark back. But said she was traveling to LA to visit Bruce. Jessica and Lila said their goodbyes and hung up and went back to her show.
After an hour, she went for a jog. Her Malibu home wasn't the biggest, but Jessica loved it. The pay from The Young and the Beautiful paid well. She wasn't interested in buying a mansion, she found it impractical for a single woman. It was after nine, the sun was setting. While jogging she thought about Elizabeth.
When was the last time they talked? Maybe during her nephew's birthday party. The conversation was stilted and polite. Ever since that night with Todd, their relationship was never the same. Thinking about Todd Jessica had no idea why she slept with him, Todd was duller than dishwater. Even now, he was the same guy.
She got that email from Brooke. Her and Winston. Brooke Egbert. Maybe Brooke should keep her maiden name. She was happy for them. Brooke and Jessica were good friends, she often stayed with her father, but slept over at Jessica's sometimes when her step mom and her had an argument. They said there was no set date for the wedding, but told everyone it was before the end of the year. Jessica had a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear. She needed to go shopping. It was New York fashion week, maybe she should head to New York to check it out. She'll ask Lila and Brooke to join her. Hopefully Lila or Brooke used their fathers private jet.
After she got home, she checked her social medias. As usual she got fan mail, plus some hate mail. Apparently everyone hated Brittany for stealing Liam from Noelle. Jessica smiled. Noelle was the sweet girl, and Brittany was the wild party child. Sounded so familiar. In reality, Stella, who played Noelle, had a party girl reputation in Hollywood, her parents owned the studio The Young and the Beautiful taped in. She was attending day rehab, she was trying to clean up her act. She was trying to go into the movies, and wanted to be hired based on her merit, not because of her parents connections. Jessica wished her luck. They weren't friends, but got along fine.
Jessica dated her costar Jason for a short time. They broke up only because Jason was cheating. Jessica didn't care, it was Hollywood after all. But she hoped to finally find true love. As she was reading the news, she found herself in disbelief. Her old college boyfriend, Nick Fox was alive. Their was a huge story on CNN that a major drug king pin that was recently arrested by the FBI, State Troopers, and ATF.
Nick went into hiding years ago because of that guy. He was forced to go into witness protection. When Jessica heard that she was devastated. The heartbreak was too much for her and her mind snapped. Luckily Elizabeth and Nick saved her life. Elizabeth saved her from being kicked out of college, while Nick saved her from committing suicide.
All these years Jessica believed he was dead. When he came to her in a dream, she thought he was an angel. Now she realized he was alive. According to CNN, he was now working as a ATF agent. Jessica's heart fluttered. She never believed in true love, having it ripped away from her several times. (Why did God hate her?) But now she hoped she was given a second chance. She was so excited she called Elizabeth, not caring it was late in New York.
