Jess’ P.O.V.

“Umm Niall what are you doing here? I mean it is cute you heard all this but don’t you have to be out at sound check?” I asked. “Yeah I just came back for my ear pieces since I forgot them but caught the rest of your conversation.” He blushed and kissed Nickie one more time before exiting.

“So Jess now that Nickie spilled it is your turn.” My step-mom well I call her Mamma pushed. “What is there to tell… Harry screwed up twice and now I am giving him a chance.” “Sweetie when I got there this morning your father told me he was in your room what happened?” My mom asked me.

“Well last night he said he wanted Kendall Jenner but he was drunk. He also told the boys besides Niall that he didn’t know if I was telling the truth about being raped by John. I was so hurt. I guess dad handled it because Harry came into my room and slipped into my bed and kissed me. This morning we woke up and I was so mad I didn’t talk to him. He kept saying he was sorry but I kept telling him drunken words are only sober thoughts.” I paused and the three most important people in my life just nodded for me to continue. “Well he kept apologizing and told me that he truly cares about me and didn’t mean it. He said that when he first saw me he forgot all about the other girls. He isn’t a womanizer and doesn’t want to be seen as one. I told him he would have to prove it. He promised he would and he asked me to be his. I said only if he proves himself and he is so far. I mean he came with me to see who my dad was. That’s a start right?” I looked around hoping for help.

“What do you want out of this Jess?” Mamma asked me. My mom just nodded in agreement with her. “Honestly?” I ask biting my lip nervously. “Jess stop sugar coating it. Tell us. We are here for you. Don’t be nervous.” Nickie stated the obvious. “Well it’s only been two weeks. I like him… I really do but I am so scared. After John I dated Max and you saw how that went. I don’t think I want to go through that again. I mean yeah Alexander senior year was just two weeks but look at him. He found his happiness in Matt. I can’t believe he is gay now. But I support him. I just can’t be hurt again. I don’t want to be. I am so scared. I don’t know. Yesterday I go from telling them I was raped to falling in love. It doesn’t happen that way. Or at least it shouldn’t.” I state.

“Honey, your dad and I fell in love in the matter of seconds. We were actually fighting when I fell in love with him. Now look three kids later and yes he still bugs me at times but I love him.” Mamma says while comforting me. “She’s right. Your dad drove me insane and I fell for him in minutes. Love shows up in weird places. You need to know that when a guy is willing to prove himself it means a lot more than anything.” My mom said.

“Your mom is right. Love only comes around once. You can’t let go.” Nickie said. They were right. I need to give Harry a chance. I will. I am falling for him. “Mom what are you going to do about Richard?”

“I am divorcing him.” I saw pure shock and worry rise in Mamma. “I need to be single for once in my life. I haven’t lived the role of a mother and I think I should at least have a chance. I am honestly jealous of the times your dad had with you. That is why I took you with me. I thought of myself. I didn’t want to be a lone because Jess honey I loved your dad yes but he wasn’t he one I was in love with. I saw how he looks at Clodaghanne just from us coming in here. He is in love with her. We were just two kids who wanted to be in love. We love you but honestly he has been more of a friend. I don’t think I was even in love with Richard. I honestly run from love. I loved Justin my boyfriend right before Richard. I ran when he told me he loved me. I was scared. Don’t run from love because you will be regretting it like me.” My mom finished her rant.

“Well mom since you are back maybe you could reach out to Justin. But why divorce Richard? I don’t want to be the reason. I am so sorr…” “Jess it wasn’t you. He was cheating on me with his ex-wife. Your grandfather happens to be one of the best lawyers here in Ireland. So he will help me. I am still going to charge him for laying his hands on you. I don’t care. He had no right. His kids were terrible. I can’t even apologize for what I did. I took their sides and never yours. I am so sorry baby. I can’t forgive myself.” My mom began to cry.
