Chap.6) Tempter
POV) Jessica
I marched away, why was Rick a jerk? Why did he think I loved Ash? I never in this moment wanted to rib Rick's head off but now. . .
Inside I went to my room, which was next to Ashes, I slammed the door as hard as I could. In result my door was knocked off its hinges and into the white wall, it stuck in, at least three inches deep.
Ash ran out of his room, like a scared little girl, he looked at me, "What did you do?" He demanded. I was still angry.
"That's how you slam a freaking door!" I screamed, in anger I twisted my fingers in my own hair and pulled, as if I was trying to rib my hair out.
Another thing, if I didn't stay calm, it could result in me getting mad, which is not a smart thing, see, I wasn't only trying to save myself from losing another family; I was trying to help them to. The sound of running feet on stairs made me remember what was going on, I was a bit calmer now, Ash was looking at me in horror.
Mason came first he looked at my door in surprise, “Jesse, come on, Rick was just kidding.” He looked at me pleadingly.
I felt surprise fill me, Jesse? Where did that come from? I stood; my anger was gone, replaced my calm, empty emotion. “Yes, Rick was only picking on me, I will assist you in replacing my door. Ash if you please,” I said, pointing to his room, “And my name is not Jesse, nor Jess, also not J. It’s Jessica.”
“Okay, sorry.” Mason said, holding both hands up, palms out.
Nether Ash or Mason looked convinced but they did what I said, Ash left, and Rick went to get the tools, the other wall was going to need work as well, someone else will fix it later.
I sighed, I rarely lost control of my anger, but when I did. . . “Are you okay, Jesse?” A soft, bell-like voice asked me.
I looked up, Anna, only Anna was allowed to call me anything but Jessica, I tried everything to discourage her, but nothing worked.
“Anna, I’m fine, Rick should learn to hold his tongue is all.” I said. I looked at Anna; she had short black hair, warm grey eyes, and a slim body. Over all millions of people, vampire and not, thought we were related, mostly mother and daughter, sometimes sisters.
“Yes, everyone thinks that, are you okay with the marriage?” She asked, coming into my room and sitting next to me on the bed.
“More or less, I don’t know, Ash is Ash, but we will see, in a way it makes since, Ash is not going to listen to just anybody.” I said, with a sigh, I shook my head.
“Yes, that is true. I just wanted to ask, the wedding is in two days. Soon I know, but. . .” Anna trailed off, I understood, she wanted to make sure a I hadn’t got cold feet.
Anna stood, smiled at me one last time before disappearing again. Anna was a loner, like me, we had so much in common. Believe it or not but Anna said she hated Mr. Freemen before they married, much like me and Ash. I sighed.
Somehow Anna and Mr. Freemen got over it, talked it out. Would Ash and I ever get along? Maybe we would, maybe we will turn out like Anna and Mr. Freemen.
