"JESS!" Brooke screamed as she ran out the front door as soon as Justin pulled into the driveway after our long vacation. I smiled and bent down just as she ran into my arms. I laughed and hugged her.
"Hey Brooke," I say amused that the litte girl missed me so much. She then hugs Justin's legs as he laughs.
"Hey Brooke, miss you too," he says with a smile. Allison walks out and hugs me.
"How was your trip?" She asked as we all walked inside, Brooke pulling Justin along by his hand. I smiled and followed Allison.
"It was good actually... And i got a dress for prom," i say making Allison freeze and look at me with a huge grin.
"A dress! Oh you have to let me see it," she begs making me laugh. Justin groans and leans on the wall.
"Good luck, only Kaylee and Layla have seen it, and Layla is keeping it at her house until Saturday so know one gets a sneak peek of it," he complains. He has been trying to get a look at it the whole time it was at the beach house, but failed every time thanks to one of the girls being around.
"I want a dress mommy," Brooke said in a sad voice. I smiled down at her.
"Brooke, when you are taller we can get you a pretty dress as well," I say making the little girl smile with excitement.
"Allison dear who is here?" A male voice came from the kitchen making Allison freeze. My eyes darted to the man walking out toward us. My heart sank, he looked just like Brooke. She is letting the man who replaced my dad live here now? Justin noticed my discomfort and took my hand giving it a small squeeze. Allison smiled at the man and took his hand and walked closer to him.
"Nick dear, this is Jessica," she says not even mentioning i was her daughter which threw me off. I looked at her and seen the pain in her eyes, and i knew right then that she hasn't told him about me, or her other husband, and it hit a spot.
"Nice to meet you Jessica....Brooke tells me a lot about you, you must be a good babysitter if she keeps asking fro you," he says making my heart drop even more. Justin's grip tightens on my hand, which means he is mad about this as well.
"No daddy...She doesn't babysit me," Brooke said with as giggle as she hugs his legs. Nick looks down at her with a smile.
"Nick baby, why don't you get Brooke ready for dinner?" Allison suddenly suggests.
"None sense dear, we have company over, and it's only 3pm," he says picking Brooke up.
"Yeah mom, it's only 3," I say with a sickening tone. How could she do this to me, she said she wanted to be the mother she never was and now she won't even admit i am her daughter. Nick looked at me then Allison confused.
"Jessica," she whispered trying to tell me to stop. I shake my head and step forward toward her, tears threatening to come any second.
"No, he deserves to know.... What happened to you wanted to fix things? You can't even tell the truth to your new husband," i snap at her as a tear falls, then another, and another.
"New husband? Allison, what is going on?" Nick says setting Brooke down. Justin pulls me back a little and holds me so my back is to his chest. Allison had regret and pain in her eyes.
"Go on Allison, tell him," Justin says sounding just as pissed. Allison looks around then has her own tear slip as she walks out of the house. The room goes silent and all that is heard is Brooke asking where her mom went.
An hour later things settled down, Justin and i were up in my room just watching TV, well Justin was, i was thinking.
"I need a drink, want anything?" I asked standing up. He shakes his head, he was clearly tired from out long vacation because he was slowly falling asleep. I smiled and walk out of the room. I got half way down the stairs and heard talking, so i listened.
"You didn't think to tell me that you were married and had a kid before? Or that you never thought for a second to go look for your daughter, and left her with an abusive uncle," Nick says in a mad tone but calm.
"I was dealing with the death of my husband Nick.... I didn't have time for a kid back then....But i do now, i have time for Brooke and Jessica, i want to fix things. But Jessica is making things hard, she won't open up to me, she won't let anyone besides Justin know anything about her....." she says. I hear a groan.
"I gave you so many chances Allison, i got you this house like you asked, i didn't report you the first two times you hit Brooke," he says. Wait what? She hit Brooke?
"It was an accident, i couldn't control my anger," she protests.
"You are no better than your brother at this stage Allison, i seen the bruise on Brooke's arm today....You are getting out of control and i am done with it," he snaps hitting his hand on the table. Allison pushes him.
"You can't take my kid away from me," she shouts in anger as she slaps him, but he grabs her hand.
"You are a danger to her, an unfit mother. It is clear that you still aren't over your former husband....Now leave, before i call the police," he says calmly letting her hand go. I tried going back upstairs but slipped and fell into the door way to the kitchen. When i looked up Nick and Allison were looking at me in shock. I stand up and glare at Allison.
"You are just like him.....Hitting your own daughter," i snap at her, all she does is send me a sick smile.
"I should have never looked for you, i could have left you and forgot about you," Allison snaps walking over to me.
"Allison, leave now. I want you out of my house," Nick shouts pointing toward the door.
"No! I have every right to be here," Allison says but i stop her.
"You shouldn't get any rights anymore, not to Brooke. Brooke deserves better than this, better than what i had to go through. You are not a mother, you're a monster," i shout just as a sharp pain shots through my left cheek.
"ALLISON!" Nick shouts grabbing her hand before she goes it again. Allison struggles in his grip as i slowly touch my cheek as i feel blood fill my mouth, she just punched me.
"What the hell!" Justin says running down the stairs to my side. Through all the shouting and yelling no one had noticed Brooke standing there.
"Daddy," she cried. everyone froze and watched as Brooke was in tears and scared. NIck let Allison go and picked up his daughter.
"It's alright baby," He whispers as he rocks her.
"Mommy hurt Jess," she says with sadness. Allison looked pained at the words then glared at me.
"This is your fault!" she snaps but Justin steps forward.
"Allison, leave now. I will call the police and get you arrested," Nick says still rocking Brooke. Allison gives us one look and walks to the door.
"I will get Brooke...She is my daughter," she says before leaving the house. NIck sigh and kisses Brookes head before look back at us.
"Are you alright?" he says in a fatherly tone that makes my heart beat faster, why does he care?
"Yeah," i whisper as Justin helps me upstairs to the bathroom.
