RUNNING INTO A JONAS

Moving in

   When we got to Joe's place it was amazing. It wasn't huge and it wasn't tiny, I would say that its a two bedroom.

     "Why don't you go look around and see where everything is. I will unload everything and get it up to your room. There is a bed and dresser already in there that you can use." Joe said getting out of the truck.

   I went inside the house after he unlocked it and the living room was a pretty good size. It doesn't look like a single guy's place. I have a feeling that his mother helped him decorate the house. Next, I went into the kitchen and was amazed. There's plenty of room to cook and bake, I have always wanted a kitchen like this. Next, I went upstairs. I got to the first door thinking that was my room but when I opened the door it wasn't. It was Joe's room, I quickly closed the door and went on to the next room. There was plenty of space for Jasmine's bed and toys. The door across from the two bedrooms was the bathroom, I'm pretty sure Joe has his own bathroom in his room. I went down stair to help Joe with my bags. 

  "Will this room work for you and Jasmine?"

   "Yes, it's perfect." I told him smiling

  "I would give you a room with a bathroom, but mine doesn't have one in there. "

   "It's okay Joe. We can make it work."

   After we got everything moved up to my room we left to get something to eat.

  "What's your favorite food?" Joe asked pulling out of the driveway.

  "I'm not too picky, anything is fine with me." 

  "How about just something simple? Burger and fries?"

  "That's fine with me." 

   When we got to a little diner not to far from the house we went in and got a booth in the back. We ordered our food and left in silence.  

   "I wish I got to you sooner than I did." Joe said looking down at the table.

   "It's not your fault. I kind of started it."

   "What do you mean?"

   "That other girl that was there. That's who he has been with for who knows how long.  She came in the house running her mouth. Asking him if he kicked me out yet. I snapped and told her to get out of the house and she made some remark and I punched her in the face, that's when Ryan punched me in the face and wouldn't stop." I told him looking down at my hands.

  "There is no excuse for a man to put his hands on a women. He knew what would have happened when he brought her to the house. No real man would ever touch a women like that. He is a sorry excuse for a man." Joe said taking my hand in his.

   "You know it's not the first time he's hit me. It was never like it was today."

   "You should have left his sorry ass a long time ago." Joe said squeezing my hand.

   "I know, I wanted to a long time ago. He wasn't like this when we got married. He slowly started showing his true colors about three years into our marriage and when I got pregnant with Jasmine he seemed like he didn't want her. It broke my heart, a father shouldn't be that way about his first born child or any of his children."

   "I know whenever I have a child I would never act that way. I would be more than excited for him or her. I would go crazy spoiling them and making sure the mother is being well taken care of." I couldn't help but smile when he said that. Joe is a hundreds times better than Ryan. I guess you could say everything happens for a reason. I'm hopping this one turns my life around and betters it for both me and my little girl.
