Jen and Alex has been dating for a couple of months now and things are going amazingly between them. Except for one. Natasha. The girl just won't accept Jennifer. Alex suggests that she moves in that way she won't have any choice but to accept it. But Jen doesn't want to make her uncomfortable at her own house, that's just not fair. 

Jennifer's POV
I don't know what I'm going to do with Alex's daughter. I've tried my best but she just don't like me, maybe it wasn't meant to be. I don't have the patience anymore and I'll soon be moving back to New York to shoot SoB for a while. What will I do with Alex? He can't leave his kids for me. I'll just drive by his house tonight after work and I'll try to talk to her.

After work
I get to Alex's house and I knock on the door.  And he immediately opens.
"Hi baby" he says hugging me
"Hi, Alex" I say hugging back
"I've missed you" he says
"We need to talk" I say holding his hand and going to the kitchen cause I know his kids are in the living room.
"Don't sounds so serious" he says laughing

We get it the kitchen and I tell him to sit down.
"What is it you want to say that is so serious?" He says
"It's about me, about us." I say sadly
"ARE YOU?" He says nervously
"No, no, I'm not. Jeeez. Let me talk" I say smit
"Ok, what is it that is sooo important then?" He says
"I'm soon going to New York to shoot the season finale of my show. And..." I say
"What, you want me to come?" He says
"Of course I'll be there with you" he adds
"Just about that. It's more about your daughter. I've tried my very best to get her to like me or at least accept me. She just won't" I say
"Jen don't worry about her. She's like them teen who likes to act up. She'll get over it " Alex says in comfort
"But when? I don't have my whole life to wait for her acceptance. And she doesn't even have respect towards me. Not even the slightest" I say
"I'm sorry Jen. I've talked to her about that over and over but she just never listens. I don't know what to do anymore" he says
"I know...... let me talk to her myself. I'd like to know why she hates me so much" I say
"No, just forget it" he says
"No I will" I say standing up and doing to the living room

I'm in the living room and they are watching tv. As soon as Ella sees me she runs up to me and hug me. I hug her back. "Natasha? Can we talk" I say
"Of course not" she replies
"I'm serious, it's important" I say and I hear Alex taking steps behind me
"What is it that is so serious. OooHhhh NOo, don't tell me you're pregnant " she say disgustsed
"No, it's not that. Just come" I say going back to the kitchen and she follows

"What do you want from me? Make it quick, I don't have time to waste on you." She says setting down
I don't know how to say this in other ways so I just say it.
" I don't know. What your problem with me is that means I can't help it. If you have a problem why don't you tell me. So we can fix it " I say patiently
"You are the problem. Can you help yourself?" She says
"Is it anything I say or do? I can stop doing it if that's what you want" I say
"Why don't you ask yourself that, since you are the problem " she says
"Do you know how many punishments and how many times I've been grounded because of you? Just leave our lives and I can keep my opinions about you without punishments" she adds

We sit here argumenting about what good or not. No matter how much I try to convince her that I can change if that's what she wants she still hate me. Now I'm soo done with her and I give up. If she wants to hate me she can go ahead and do it. She won't be my first hater anyway.
I walk away to the door and Alex follows me.
"Alex I can't do this no more" I say going through the door
"Jen wait what you do mean" he says
"Your daughter says she won't ever be happy and safe in her own house as long as I'm here. She said I ruined her life and because of me she has to go through punishments and stuff." I say
"You know it's not because of you. It's because of her behavior"  Alex says
"Listen , Alex. My kids are my life. I love them more than anything else in the world and I would do anything for them. I'm sure you feel the same for your daughter. And a loving home is what every child need. I don't want to be the one taking that away from them." I say
"I'm lost. What do you mean?" He says confused
"All I want for her is happiness and safety. With me being here I don't think she'll get any of that." I say
"Jennifer pls don't do this. Every time that things are going good between us, it has to end. But not this time. This time I won't let it." He says
"It's ok, Alex. Maybe we wasn't meant to be. And it's-" I say before he cuts me off
"Maybe it's my fault, I should have told her about you the first time I met you or something" he says
"It's no ones fault. Let us just think about this for a while." I say
"There's no while. You're soon going to New York and god knows if you'll forget about me and-" he says but I cut him off
"Of course I won't forget about you. Alex....... I'm speechless. I just want to go home now." I say knowing that I'm about to cry
"Pls lets talk this out." He says
"Taking about it will only make it worse. Just..... goodbye" I say and walking away with tears running down my cheeks
"Jennifer.... we don't have to do this " he says but I just talk away

Alex's POV
"Damn it." I say closing the door behind me.
"Dad are you alright?" Tashi asks as if she heared me and Jen's conversation
"Yeah, yeah, I guess" I say depressed
"He diffinately isn't" Ella says
I walk to the living room and just sit there. Both of them comes and sit with me in the silence

"I'm sorry daddy, I didn't meant it" tashi says and then burst out crying
"You don't have to be" I say holding her tight
"Yes I do. I'm the one who caused it all. I could have pretended to like her at least" she says crying
"Maybe it just wasn't meant to be" I say in comfort
"Or maybe it was. But TASHI ruined it all" Ella day rolling her eyes and walks away
