Guess both J's can have secrets, huh?

Chapter 6 | Jalissa

Beep! Beep!

As my eyes began to flutter open, all I can see was darkness. I wiped the sweat bead off my forehead & I grabbed my phone off my nightstand. It was 3:28am & I had the worst nightmare.

Two people were driving in a car by the Lower East Side. It was nighttime & they looked mad so I guess they were arguing. The lady was crying while holding up a ring in her hand, while the guy looked pissed while turning the car around the corner.
BOOM!
The car went into a complete stop & the man jumped out the car. He ran over to what seemed like was a body. When he looked over the shoulder, the lady also jumped out the car. When they both knelt down, the man was covered with blood & there was shattered glass near him.The lady began crying while the man began to rub his face. He idiately pulled out his phone & dialed 911. the man did as instructed, by the police & knelt down the check the bloodys man impulse. when realized there was no heartbeat, he quickly began to panic while wife stood over him in shock. The operator then instructed him check if the dead man had any ID or a wallet on him. the man was afraid but still checked in his pockets to find a credit card. he searched for the name. Jacob Coleman.
My father.

I got up from the bed & turned on my lamp. I hated having nightmares about my dad, especially since he isn't here. i Wales over to my bathroom and turned on the faucet in my sunk. i splashed cold water on my face before grabbing a towel to dry itt. I miss him, i mumbled to myslef.

"Would you like something to drink with your order, ma'am?" The waitress asked. She wore her long blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail & wearing in all black classy outfit.

"Yeah, I'll take water. if you don't mind." I said while looking at my phone. She grabbed our menus & headed back to kitchen to drop off our orders.

"So why was Angie calling your phone?" I said breaking the silence. I glared at Ali waiting for my answer. Angie was his ex, which I always had problems with. She hated me & I hated her. Simple. But she didn't understand that Ali was done with her & if she needed help with it would be happy to.

"Babe, I told you why. She wanted me to do her a favor so I helped her out. I really don't understand the big deal here." he said sounding anooging. he looked at his phone & his fingers began to rapidly move indicating he was texting.

"Thats so f.cking rude!" I said with my index finger pointing towards his phone. "I know Angie wants you & you claim you don't like her anymore but your always talking to her. I don't understand?!" I immediately ran my fingers through my scalp. I was tired of him cheating on me & this isn't my first time catching his sleazy ass. But something always made me stay with him, even when I was hurt. I never told my girls because they would probably kill him in his sleep, but I was also too embarrased. I didn't want them judging me for going back with him after he slept with girls from my school & denied it.

"Stop acting like you didn't agree to this shittt. This is what happens in open relationships, they can talk to other people & I still claim you. Eveybody knows your my main so your really buggin right now." Ali said while glaring at me. If looks could kill, I would be buried next to my dad right now.

"Look im tired of you getting jealous, so when you start acting like a big girl you can hit me up. I told you before, I can't stay with one female for a long period time & your ass was down. But im done with this jealous shit." Ali grabbed his shades, phone & wallet before giving Jalissa a last look. He threw a crisp 50$ bill to pay for the order & left.

I can't believe him, Im such an asshole, I mumbled. The waitress can back with both our orders & placed it on the table. i lost my appetite from the fight i just had with Ali so I grabbed the 50$ & walked out the Juniors.

Justine

It was was finally feeling like Spring & I loved it. I picked up Mia from daycare & we went straight home. Being that tommorow was Monday, I needed to do all my homework. I opened my front door of my Brownstone that my mom gave to me before she moved away to Spain with her new boyfriend. The fact the she left me & Mia alone for some random dude made me feel no love for her.

"Mia go take off your jacket & shoes." I said looking down at her. She was so small & tiny, i just wanted to eat her.

"Okay mommy, can I get candy when im done?" Mia said while looking up at me. Her big brown eyes began to sparkle just like my eyes did. I felt bad for neglecting her as my daughter & never told anyone. When I got pregnant, my mom was very unsupportive & that's when she left. Mia's father isn't in the picture but he does go to my school. He also doesnt know I got pregnant so I had nothing to worry about.

"Mia go to the kitchen I'll meet you there." I went over to the mailbox & opened it. I retrieved my mail & there was multiple bills to pay. I only had my job in Aldo that barely paid for the Mortgage. I also owed Mia's daycare, The Little Sunshines, 2,765$ a month which made me cringe at the sight. I walked to the kitchen to find Mia on the ground laying down with her eyes closed. I ran over to her & began to shake her.

"Mia wake up! What's the matter?" I ran to to get my phone & dialed 911. 20 minutes the ambulance was here & the EMT invaded my house.

"Is she okay?" I cried. I can't believe I can't even take care of my daughter.. the first thought that popped into my mind was that they may take her away from me. She meant the world to me & I would feel like I failed as a mother if she was taken from me. I didn't want to be like my mom & show Mia poor parenting skills. It's bad enough I didn't claim her to everyone else, but she knows i loves her... I think.
