The Coincidence

Chapter 5 - It's not easy to end

"Pancakes! You are the best!" Danny is sitting on the stool by the kitchen bar as I am putting the pancakes, souses and coffee on table.
"I know" I raised my eyebrows proudly and smiled at his reaction before taking a sip of my coffee "finish that quickly because we have a lot of work to do today" I opened my tablet to check my mail.
"Yeah! Speaking of work, are you going to check the production line or me?" He asked while shoving a pancake piece covered with jam into his mouth.
"You go, because I have to meet up with the marketing department." I replied him just before my phone starts ringing.
"It's Jessica." I answered and put her on speaker.
"Morning!" I answered, but instead of words I got the sound of crying. I looked at Danny in confusion.
"Sunshine, you okay?" He asked over the phone, but still no reply just crying.
"Jessi, hey. Calm down, sweetheart. What happened?" I asked her over the phone hoping I was reassuring enough. That's when the sobbing voice kind of stopped and words came out.
"Guys, I had a fight with Martin." That's what she managed to say before breaking into tears again.
"What?!" Me and Danny shouted in the same time. shocked. However, it seems that it was kind of really loud that made Jessica cry even harder. Me and Danny looked at each other still in shock and confusion. But Danny sighed and looked back to the phone.
"Jessica, Darling. What happened?" He asked.
"He..He.." Then she started crying again. This time I rolled my eyes and Danny's shoulders dropped in some kind of disappointment. Well, it seems the phone won't help.
"Jessica, you home?" I asked her.
"Ye..Yes" She replied between her sobs.
"Okay we are on our way." I said before hanging up the phone, dropped my hands on the counter while putting my cup of coffee and looking to Danny.
"So? What are we going to do?" He asked, as if his eyes are begging for my next answer.
"What will we do? Go to Jessica off course. Let me just call Emily first to make her move the meeting forward. Man! I hate delaying things! But it's Jessica." I shrugged and picked my phone to call Emily.
"Well, but you are Jessica's Bridesmaid!" He made his hand into a fest, ready-to-fight-fest, winked and picked the plates to the kitchen. I sighed.

I called Emily and made her delay the meeting till the afternoon. I felt Emily's eye rolling over the phone and actually she is right. We have a lot to do. But friends and family come first, right? Then I went to my room to pick my purse and my jacket. Danny also picked his jacket and then I got the keys and our journey to the elevator started, then to the street, then to the car and then to Jessica's house.

We knocked the door once, twice, third time and still no answer.

"She won't do something to herself, right?" Danny looked at me in worry.
"C'mon! We are talking about Jessica here." I almost laughed. That's when the door opened with Jessica standing in front of us with her eyes red shots from crying, holding a tissue in her hand and still in her pajamas. She left the door opened and went inside. I went after her, then Danny and shut the door after him. The home isn't in a less misery state than her. Wooh! It seems that it was a really huge fight. There are shattered stuff everywhere. My gosh! I looked back at Danny and he was also as shocked as me.

"Jessica! What the hell happened here?" I asked pointing at the shattered things and looking at her. She has settled on a sofa in the living room, with tissues everywhere around here and finished bottle of wine and glass next to it. She sighed before answering the reason of the fight. Apparently, it's jealousy. Before, there was a guy who Jessica used to date, whose name was Tim, before dating Martin. Jessica broke up with him because he cheated on her although they both were still attracted to each other, but after Jessica started dating Martin, she forgot about him completely and started a new life. Jessica met him last week while he was picking his cousin who is a student at Jessica's class and they just exchanged numbers for the sake of his cousin, because the kid's parent's are out of town and Tim is taking care of him until they come back. So he is his only emergency contact in the town now. Anyway, Tim messaged Jessica last night that he still has feelings for her and that he would like a second chance, Martin saw the message before Jessica and a storm started in the house.
