New Beginnings

Chapter 83

The party was a success. Everyone enjoyed theirselves and I gave Sarah a card telling her the twins and she took it home with her.

June 22.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jess." Meryl?
"Hey."
"I need to ask a favor of you."
"What could you need from me?"
"Come to my party today, I know you don't like me, but I kinda want to be friends again and I really would like to see the thunder thighs Julie has been talking about on your baby."
"What time?"
"4."
"I don't know, I'll think about it."
"Alright, thank you."
"Anytime."
Should I go? Dylan will be there. I don't think I wanna be around Dylan. Actually, I fucking know I don't. But I will, I know my kids are going. I grab Zay and walk over Jasmines.
"Hey Ma come on in." I walk in and see the twins. Their so cute! I just wanna squeeze them.
"Are you going to Meryl's party tonight?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Because I'm going, but I'm promising myself not to make a scene."

I put the baby in a cute outfit and pack his swimming trunks. I put on a coverup and bikini on. Danny puts his trunks on and a t-shirt.

"Jess! Thank you so much for coming!" She bear hugs me and leans in close.
"Dylan told me and I just lost it, That's why I wanted you and Danny to come. He's been forcing me to sleep with him. Come in and I'll find a place for us to talk." She whispers.
We walk  to her bedroom and sit down.
"I'm so sorry for everything I've done Jess this is my fault."
"Meryl, it isn't and at the same time it is. But I forgive you!"
"If I leave him I'll have no where to live."
"Until you get back on your feet, which won't take long, you can stay with me."
"I love you Jessie."
"I love you too, We've been friends for decades." We walk downstairs and sit.
Dylan walks by and goes to sit down, Danny punches him. All I did was blink and Danny was on top of Dylan punching him.
"Stupid son of bitch."
"Okay kids everyone outside!" Meryl says shooing everyone outside. I smile at her and she winks. I get up,watching them fight. At the end Danny knocked Dylan out.
"If you ever even think about my wife, I will kill you." He walks to me and hugs me.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Good."

-Home-
"Look at all these rolls!" Meryl says pinching Zay and Zay cackling. Zoe walks in and sits down. She looks pale.
"I don't feel well." She gets up and goes toward the kitchen, but instead passes out.
"Zoe!" Meryl and I scream.
"Gamma!"
Shit. Shit Shit.
