FALLING HARD✅

FALLING HARD 16

Jessica's point of view

"Just walked in, be normal, the nice you that got my brother off the rails," Mary whispered behind me.

I felt my face heat up.

"Goddamn, you are blushing," She came around in front of me at the same moment I saw another version of her walking towards us.

" That's your mom, you look so much like her,"She was dressed in a blue dress, black heels, and her blond hair,  straight down her shoulders. Blue eyes stared at me.

God these people and their blue eyes.

Her cheekbones are high, she held her head too and I must say she look really good for two grown children.

"Yes that's her, just be the sweet girl that I match make with my brother, just be the original you," She whispered spitefully and I felt myself blush again.

" Wow, Come on in, you look very beautiful indeed, you are a sight to my eyes."

"I'm sorry am late, yesterday was a long day," I said to her smiling.

She came towards me and hugged me and I hugged her back.

Keep clam

"That's okay, the events were explained to me, no need to worry about that. Mary get Rollins, inside, I won't bite her you don't have to stand and guard anymore," She said and I couldn't help but grin.

"My name is Julia Ambrose White," She put her arm on my back and walked me.

"Mrs white-"

"Julia is fine, just as it's okay?  Jessi or Jess?"

I raised my eyebrows at her.

"Any one of them is fine, most people called me both."

"Well, Rollins told me a lot about you, since I last saw him, last month, he hasn't been much of a talker to anyone except his dad, but he couldn't stop talking about you and I wanted to see for myself."

"Now you see Mrs-I mean Julia, I have to admit am a little nervous."

"No need to be, I don't bite,  well I do bite but I won't bite you," She said and she signaled a few maids and I saw them setting a long dinner table.

Oh God, I'll be a fat cow when am done

" I'm not much of an eater, Julia."

"Well you will surely eat today."

Nah, not controlling the one

"Look, Julia, it will be rude of me to sit around that table and forcefully feed myself to please you, I won't do that am sorry, with respect I think I'll take my leave now, I have had enough of controlling people in my life, I can't take another one,"As soon as I felt my chest free I knew I shouldn't have been so pointed.

" Jess," Mary said behind me I stiffened.

"Relax," she said her palms on my shoulder, Julia was just looking at me with a downcast look on her face.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound that harsh."

"I understand, it's okay. At least I found something in common with my son, he never likes orders and control, always put himself first, always himself and Rollins, now I heard he didn't come because of you,"I could tell she was hurt, all that lively energy was gone. She suddenly looks tired.

"No that's not true," I know it was.

"It's okay, I 'm the one that is sorry, this is awkward now, but stay, you don't have to eat a lot."

"Mom, come on you don't look well she can go and come back another time."

"I just never like that about Trevor you know, and now I came across her and I feel like I don't like it about her either."

"But she is not Trevor's mom."

"But Trevor isn't his dad either, buts it's like Trevor took all his genes, I hardly ever get to see my son anymore and now police and government are after him," She broke down crying and Mary hugged her to her chest.

"What do you mean after him? Mary, what is Julia talking about?"

"I thought you knew, soldiers are looking for him, only three men survived at the hospital the rest dies."

"What?" I asked laughing out. "You are joking."

The silent look on her face says otherwise.

"Jesus Christ," I said and run towards the door.

"Where are you going?!"

"I'm going to find him!" I said running down into the yard.

***

I sped Mary's car at full speed, flying through traffic.

A murderer

"I've been alone with a fucking murderer, no wonder he was so bitter about shooting Kevin!" I shouted knocking my hands on the steering.

"A murderer, that has no problem kissing me!"I screamed and then clap my hands over my mouth as I raced the car down the street.

" This is Los Angeles for fucking sake, how the hell is he going to hide?!"

"Oh God, why do I even want him to hide?!"

I stop the car at the gate and dust filled the entrance.A security pulled the gate and I run into the yard.

"Trevor!!" I screamed."Trevor!"

I stop when I saw a familiar figure coming down the steps, Dress in a blue suit.

"That can't be,"I stood squinting my eyes against the sun.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"I asked running up the steps, I stood next to him with my heart thudding, I haven't seen him since my college graduation.

" Boss, My statement is clear am done working for you !"I heard Trevor shout from inside.

" What is he talking about?" I asked.

Trevor came from the room wiping blood from his lip. A small pistol in his hand and I took a step back.

"Please, Jessica it's not what you think, look I haven't hurt him,"He pushes the gun behind him and takes a step towards me.

I shook my head.

"You are working for him, what are you?"

"I'm a Mafia," He said after a few moments of silent, rush adrenaline and loud beating hearts.

"You kill people, slaughter them?"I asked squeezing my chest.

"Yes."

"What?"

"I was hired by your father to keep you safe."

"What? Does Mary know?-"I take another step back. I look between him and Dad and all I felt was betrayal and anger. A dad that avoided me for years, was secretly spying on me, controlling my life from a distance and he just stood there silent leaving all the pressure on Trevor.

" No, she doesn't know much, this has nothing to do with Mary, she doesn't know your dad."

"Someone wants you dead as some sort of payback, "Dad said finally opening his mouth.

God help me
