JONAS Company.

I'll Take Care of It.

I had to take Marley to work with me because I had no other places to take her, “Miss Lovato,you’re late.” Kevin was there in the lobby right when I walked in, “Sorry.” I headed to the elevator, “And you’re not allowed to bring your kid to work.”

“I know, it’s just for one day.” I hit the button for my floor, “I hope so. This is a busy day.” he walked off the elevator to his floor, “I know,Mr.Jonas. I won’t disappoint.” I took Marley’s hand and rushed her to my office. “Go play on the couch and don’t bother mommy,okay?” I turned on my computer, “Yes,mommy.” she climbed on the couch and pulled out some of her barbies.

“Hey,love.” Joe walked in,closing the door behind him, “Hey Joey!” Marley scared him, “Hey Marley..” he looked at me, “What is Marley doing here?”

“Please don’t fire me, please. I know I was a little late and I know you’re not suppose to bring your kid to work,but please don’t fire me.” I started getting teary eyed, “Hey.” he put his hands on my shoulders, “I’m not firing you. I’m just asking. It’s kind of a surprised me..” he bent down and kissed my cheek, “Wanna tell me outside the office?” I nodded slowly.

I got up and headed outside of my office, “Marley got kicked out because  she’s a bit behind on the learning,so they kicked her out.” he shook his head, “They can’t fucking do that! It’s preschool.”

“Well,they did. I begged and did everything. The teacher said,they are starting a new level and and Marley is still stuck on the first level..She basically called my daughter stupid.” I started crying. He put his arms around me. “What’s the preschool called?”

“New Generation.” he kissed my forehead, “Joe,don’t do anything,please.. I want to figure this out on my own.” I looked at him, “Okay,well I have to get back to work. I’ll see you later.” he kissed my forehead and headed up to his office.

Joe.

I headed to my office and shut my door. I sat at desk,propping my feet on my desk, looking up the number for New Generation. “846..” I typed the number on my office number.

“Hello,this is New Generation.” the lady introduced, “Hello, is the principal?” I played with my tie, “No,but I’ll forward you to him.”

“Thanks.”

“Dude,what are you doing? We have a meeting.” Kevin barged in, I put the phone on my lap,  “Do the meeting without me.” his mouth dropped, “You’re a Jonas...this is JONAS Company. We need you at the meeting.”

“Well, I’m always ignored at the meetings and you guys don’t offer my opinions.” I glared at him, “Because you’re always an asshole in them.” Kevin crossed his arms.

“Because I’m ignored. Now go to that meeting.”

“Fine.” he walked off. “Hello?” the principal answered, “Hello. This is Joe Jonas.” I spun in my chair a little, “Hi. I’m Phil Coak.”

“I’m calling in the behalf of Marley Lovato.” I sighed, “Yes,but we can’t give you anymore information on our former student,because we don’t know how you know Marley.”

“I’m Demetria’s boyfriend. So I know her mother,and I know her.”  I scoffed, “Sir, you’re not her father?”

I groaned,the thought of having kids and being a father made me want to puke. But why am I doing this then? For Demi. I just want Demi to be happy.

“No,but-”

“Then I can’t help you. I’m sorry,but Marley is not accepted at our school anymore.” I rolled my eyes, “Wanna know what’s sad?” I scratched my head, “Your quote on the website is stating that every child is not left untaught,but leaving the school with knowledge.” I snickered, “But yet..you kicked a 5 year old out of preschool because she wasn’t ‘teachable’.” I started laughing.
