JUST YOU & ME

Chapter 3

 Through The Dark.....

JESSICA'S POV

After getting ready , I left for school. On my way I spotted Tanya talking to a blonde haired guy.While walking towards them,Tanya looked at me and mouthed 'help' . I went in Iron Man mode to save her. I think you got my point.

"Back off duck face" I said to the person who I wish never existed in this world.

He turned and glared at me. 'I am sorry did I interrupt something. Be it '  *evil laugh*

"Hmm.. Jessica. Good morning to you too. How are you this wonderful morning?" He rolled his eyes.Tanya excused herself and went inside her house to bring her bag so that we could leave.

"Shut it Ricky. No need to sugar coat....Just die." I glared at him. How can girls fall for such a bastard. I want to break his ego in tiny pieces. Agh! I hate him. 

"Ok! By the way, how is your Dad ? " I was totally confused at this moment. 

"What do you have to do with my Dad ?" 

"He used to work for me. So I am just concerned." He stated.

I snorted ,"Firstly he works for your Dad not you. And secondly you are concerned oh please whatever." He just smiled . He has really lost his mind. Why was he smiling?  Then I realized he said my Dad  'used to work there' huh?  " What..what do you mean 'used to work' ? " I asked him.

"Ooo. Daddy dear didn't tell Jessica .He qiut his job saying he is ill " He smirked . WHAT?? DAD??  QUIT??  NOT WELL ??  Dad didn't tell me anything about this. 

"Stop lying Ricky. It can't be true "

"Jessica...you don't trust me. Go to Daddy dear and ask him." He smirked. I wanted to murder him right now. How low can somone stoop. He is sick. 

"Go to hell " I glared at him. I was totally confused what is going on in my life.

"I do a lot of charity work so if u need any money you know where to find me." He bloody winked . I want to break his eye. Charity case-me- not happening-I would never go for his help-ever. "Bastard " I muttered and walked away from the freaking mad arrogant person. I was so angry that I couldn't stand being near that dog. That mean dog.That mean dirty dog!

The whole day I couldn't concentrate properly because I didn't stop thinking about Dad. Why did he not tell me anythng? What if Ricky was just messing with my mind? But that dog was damn serious and his Dad owned the company so he knew about stuffs. He wouldn't miss an opportunity to humiliate me. If Dad really quit his job then how am I going to help him.This is so terrible. My life seems to be a rollercoaster ride. 

Whole day I didn't engage myself in any conservations. Sarah tried to talk to me but I just couldn't tell her anything because I didn't know if Ricky was tellling the truth. Nolan kept asking me about my mood and shared lame jokes to cheer me up but all in vain. It was bugging me that I didn't know the truth. After school, I rushed home to confront Dad.

After reaching home, I saw Dad was in kitchen cooking pasta . I told him what Ricky had told me earlier . He nodded closed the stove. He didn't speak anything.

"Dad what is it ? I am mature enough to understand the problem. Please just tell me." I looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Jessica come here." He sat on the couch and patted next to him for me to sit there. I nodded and sat next to him and looked at my lap . I couldn't bear anymore. "Daddy is your health fine? "
