I liked all the original diologue and prologue until the drama so here ya go. (Since ya know the prologue already, we'll jump right into the diologue)

Bryan- *Smiles* Jo!
Jo- Oh, wow. I didn't know you guys were here tonight. Hey, buddy! How are ya?
Bryan- *Smiles and blushes* I'm fine. Emily passed her Ageebra test!
Jo- *Smiles at him and talks through her teeth to her dad* Her what...?
Charlie- *Laughs* That big algebra test she was crammin' for earlier this week? Well, she got an A+ on it.
Jo- Ohhh! Well, hey, congrats, Em!
Emily- *Smiles and blows on her fingernails slyly* All in a day's work. Had that teacha' sneezin' outta the ears!
Jo- *Laughs*
Charlie- Emily Jane...
Emily- UGH! The FULL name...!
Jo- *Grins and bends down a lil and wihspers to her* Don't worry, I don't like my full name either.
Emily- *Smiles*
Charlie- What? Joanna Marie is a great name!
Jo- *Laughs* Oh yeah, just the name I want while I'm tryin' to survive in the Bornx. Perfect choice, Pop. *Grins*
Charlie- Just for that, we're not leavin' you a tip!
Jo- *Laughs*

We fade into later that night. Jo comes home to an empty apartment and sets her keys on the table. She lays on the couch, still in her uniform and the phone rings. Jo lets it ring a few times before answering.

Jo- Hello?
Eddie- Hey, baby. What are you doin' up so late?
Jo- Ah, just got home from work and contemplating on whether or not I should keep my job.
Eddie- Keep it!
Jo- *Laughs a little* Why?
Eddie- Well, it's just that you look so sexy in that tight little uniform you gotta wear... *Grins*
Jo- *Grins* I miss you.
Eddie- *Smiles* I miss ya too, babe.
Jo- When are ya comin' home?
Eddie- Well, Carson just told me the judge and the rest of the jury made their decisions a minute ago.
Jo- And that means....?
Eddie- If he dismisses the case, I'll be packin' tonight and leavin' first thing in the morning.
Jo- *Smiles* In that case, I can't wait to see you.
Eddie- Although...the first thing we need to do when I get home, is uh *Clicks tounge and grins*
Jo- *Grins* Mmm, sounds tempting.
Eddie- *Smiles* I gotta go. Love ya, baby. *Hangs up*

Jo sighs, hanging up the phone. After watching a little TV and going through the mail, she goes to bed.

***Next Morning***
Jo wakes up and gives Karen a call.

Karen- Hello?
Jo- Hey!
Karen- Jo? Oh, girl, it's been too d*** long!

Brita coos and makes baby sounds in the backround.

Jo- Aww, is that Brita?
Karen- *Laughs a little* She talks more in her sleep than Tommy!
Jo- *Laughs*
Karen- Speaking of, he's coming back today!
Jo- Ah, bet you're excited, huh?
Brita- DADA! DADA!
Karen- Yes, that one. *Laugs* We tried to teach her your name.
Jo- Ah, couldnt get Polniaczek down, huh? *Grins*
Karen- Professor Ryan couldn't at first either...
Jo- *Laughs a little*
Karen- *Sighs* I miss him.
Jo- Yeah, me too. Think he's still teachin'?
Karen- Last I heard, he got bumped up to a higher notch.
Jo- Well, hey, ya doin' anything today?
Karen- *Shakes her head* Nah, Tommy's comin' in the late afternoon and me and Brita are just sitting here.
Brita- GOO!
Karen- *Laughs* I think she resents that...
Jo- *Laughs*

Karen- Why do you ask?
Jo- I was thinkin' about comin' up to see you guys. I haven't seen Brita since since your ultra-sound.
Karen- *Laughs* We'd love that. Can ya come up around noon? I have to go grocery shoppin' before we starve. *Grins*
Jo- Heh, yeah.
Karen- Alright, see ya then.
Jo- Okay, bye.
Brita- Beebee dadada beelop
Jo- *Laughs* Bye Brita.
Karen- *Smiles and hangs up*

Jo hangs up and gets showered. By the time she gets dressed and everything, its almost noon. She gets in her car and drives to Karen's apartment. Karen lived a little farther away than she had when they were kids, but she still remained in the Bronx. Jo gets to her place and gets out, locking her car doors. She gets out and walks up, ringing the doorbell.

We fast forward to later that night. Jo's still there and its around a quarter til 7. She looks at the clock.

Jo- Oops...
Karen- What?
Jo- I think I'm supposed to be at work...
Brita- Googoo
Jo- *Smiles and looks at Karen* Can I use your phone?
Karen- Provided it's charged, yeah. *Finds it and hands it to her*
Jo- Thanks. *Calls the Encore*
Lisa- *Picks up the phone* Hello?
Jo- Hey, Lis, I'm gonna be a little late.
Lisa- How late?
Jo- Umm, a couple minutes or so. I'm at Karen's.
Lisa- Oh, how is she?
Jo- Fine. We're playing with Brita.
Brita- Beebee!
Lisa- Aww! Now I want one!
Jo- *Grins, rolling her eyes*

Karen hears her and laughs.

Lisa- Anyhow, sure. I'll have your name tag ready for ya. Want me to set out that extra uniform for ya? You could change in the bathroom?
Jo- Oh, Lis, that'd be great. See ya in a little bit. Thanks! Bye.
Lisa- Bye.

She gets to work a couple minutes later, finds the extra uniform Lisa left her and changes into it in the bathroom. She pins her name tag to the top and walks back out. She finds out what tables she has to wait on and starts taking orders. An older man and a younger girl walk in and are seated by Rochelle, a girl who runs the register and seats people. Jo walks over.

Jo- Our specials today are chicken penne and vegetable blend with French dressing. Is there anything I can get you to drink?
Man- I'll have a coke and Jenny, you want a root beer as usual?
Jenny- *Nods*
Man- And a root beer.
Jo- *Writes it down* Okay, I'll be back with your drinks in a minute.

She goes into the kitchen, coming back out with the drinks. She sets the down on the table and hands them 2 straws.

Jo- Ready to order?
Man- *Looks at Jenny*
Jenny- *Quietly* I'll have a toasted cheese sandwich and a salad.
Jo- What kind of dressing?
Jenny- Thousand Island.
Jo- Okay and for you, sir?
Man- I think I'll have the veal.
Jo- *Nods and writes this down* I'll be back with your order shortly.

She comes back about 20 minutes later with the food and sets it down on the table.

Jo- Id you need anything else just let me know.

**An hour later**
Jo walks back over to their table after she'd taken the dishes away.

Jo- Enoy everything?
Jenny- Tell the manager I love her food!
Jo- *Laughs* I'm sure she'd be happy to hear that. *To the man* You can pay up front when you're ready. The total comes to $57.75.

She smiles and walks into the kitchen. After talking a little with the young girl, the guy goes up to the register.

Man- I'd like to tip the waitress who waited on me and my daughter.

Just as Eric, the cashier is about to go and get Jo, she walks out and goes to leave.

Eric- Jo, wait, there's a---
Jo- No, not tonight Eric. I'm going home to my husband and that's it. *Leaves*

She goes home and Eddie's waiting for her. She runs up to him, hugging him tightly. They talk for awhile and he goes to Tommy's second apartment to get the rest of his stuff. While he's gone Jo takes a shower and decides to relax.

***7:00 that night***
Jo's sitting on the couch, with a book in her lap and quiet music on. Eddie comes in, smiling at her.
Jo looks up, quickly taking off her reading glasses. Eddie grins, walking over. He starts kissing her neck and she smiles, forgetting about everything.

Jo- *Laughs a little* Eddie, I'm trying to read...

Eddie smiles, putting the book on the table and continues kissing her. "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen plays on the radio. She kisses back and they cuddle on the couch for the rest of the night.

***Next Morning***
Eddie wakes up first, holding Jo in his arms and a few minutes later she wakes up, sees what time it is and starts to get up, but he pulls her back down.

Eddie- No.
Jo- Eh, Eddie, I gotta get ready for work.
Eddie- Oh, c'mon, babe, can't ya stay home today?
Jo- *Sighs*
Eddie- *Holds her closers* Please? *Kisses her neck*
Jo- *Grins* I might need a little more convincing...

Eddie continues to kiss her neck, moving occasionally to her lips.

Jo- Mmm, I guess I could call Lisa... I'm sure she'd undastand...
Eddie- She better... I did that girl's Spanish homework for 'er!
Jo- *Laughs* Lemme get the phone. *Gets up*

Eddie pulls her back down.

Jo- Whoa! Eh, I need the phone at least...

He gets her the cordless and smiles, sitting back down, cuddling her. Jo smiles and calls Lisa.

Lisa- *Picks up* The Encore, Lisa speaking, how may I help you?
Jo- Hey Lis, could I uh, have the day off?
Lisa- Why? I mean, I guess so, but---?

Eddie starts kissing her again and she grins.

Jo- It's um... *Laughing* Eddie, c'mon, I'm on the phone.
Lisa- Oh, my lord, I do not want to know!!! Take the day off!
Jo- *Laughs* You sure?
Lisa- Oh yes! Please!
Jo- Alright, thanks Lis.
Lisa- Uh huh, bye!!!!! *Hangs up quickly, shuddering*

Jo hangs up and her and Eddie go into their bedroom.

...Ur gunna hafta use ur imagination for that part....!

Hey guys! Lisa'z gettin more VIP access! : P Go her! LOL plz our other fan fic "Tootie's First Date". With that in mind, here's more:

***Later in the Day***
They spend the whole day with each other and when the time comes for them to visit Jesse and Scott, they debate going. Well, Eddie does anyway.

Jo- C'mon, we've been together all day. And you know ya wanna see Scott again.
Eddie- *Grins*

Jo- We can... "be together" again tonight though... *Smiles*
Eddie- Hmm, that's a tempting offer.
Jo- *Uses this to her advantage* As long as you get up and get dressed and visit today...

Eddie gets up quicker than a bolt of lightening and Jo laughs. They both get dressed... well, Jo tries to get dressed, but Eddie keeps kissing her and fooling around. Jo laughs, finally able to slip her top over her head. She brushes her hair and grabs her keys.

Jo- Are ya ready, my little goofball?

Eddie- *Grabs hre around the waist and nods*
Jo- Eddie... I can't walk like this. I mean, I could but I don't wanna slide down the stairs...
Eddie- I could always carry you...
Jo- Edward Brennan, you'd better think twice before---

He picks her up and carries her out to the car. He sets her down and she gets in. After she makes sure all the doors are locked before driving through the west side of the Bronx, she drives to Jesse and Scott's apartment.
---------------------------------------------
That's all ya'llz iz gettin!

KMK

Add more soon please

Ok u need to post more here!

They get to Jesse and Scott's place and hang out for a while. The time is around 6 or so, and at 7, Jo leaves for work. Eddie stays behind and hangs out with Scott while Jesse drops her off. When Jo walks into the Encore, Lisa comes up to her.

Lisa- There's a guy at table 33 asking for you.
Jo- Me? Why?
Lisa- I'm not sure. Go over and find out... *Smiles*

Jo grins and walks over to the same older man and younger girl as before.

Jo- You wanted me?
Guy- Uh, yeah, I was wondering if you're free after work tonight.
Jo- Sorry, I'm married.

As an extra precaution, she quickly flashes her wedding ring at him, so he knows she's not just saying that.

Guy- *Laughs* You must think me a very forward type of guy. No, what I meant was, well, this may sound strange, but I need to talk to you about something.
Jo- Err, okay...
Guy- Good.

He turns to the younger girl.

Guy- Jennifer, stay here, okay?

She nods and the guy walks away with Jo. Before talking with the man, Lisa notices them and tells Jo they're not very busy, but to go outside and talk. Jo and the guy walk outside and she leans against a wall, but walks out more, not wanting to get her uniform dirty.

Guy- It's nice to see you've kept yourself busy.
Jo- I'm sorry, do I know you?
Guy- Well, after all these years, I suppose you've forgotten about me. In fact, I don't blame ya if you did.
Jo- Okay... who are you?
Guy- *Hesitates* If or when I tell you, do you promise not to, er, get upset, walk or run away from me?
Jo- Uh, yeah, I guess.
Guy- Promise. This is important and I've waited for years to say this.
Jo- Fine, I promise.
Guy- Alright then. I was hoping you'd recognize me, instead of me having to tell you, but I don't deserve any breaks either. *Sighs* Do you remember a teacher, a long time ago, who used to have...

He hesitates, not wanting to relive the past.

Jo- Who used to have...?
Guy- *Sighs again* Who used to have... sexual ehm... interactions with younger girls? ...His female students?
Jo- Yeah, but what's that gotta do wi---

He cuts her off and finally reveals who he is.

Guy- It's me, Jo. Matthew Jerome. Well, better known to you as Mr. Jerome.

Her eyes widen and she starts to walk away. He quickly grabs her by the arm, gently, just to stop her.

Mr. Jerome- Please, Jo, please listen to me. I know I don't deserve it, but you've always been a very understanding person.
Jo- Hmm, funny, between raping and threatenin' me, didn't think ya had the time to notice.

She pulls her arm away roughly and he grabs it once again, still gently enough to stop her.

Mr. Jerome- Will you give me at least 5 minutes?
Jo- *Sighs* Fine. Will you let go of my arm?

He lets it go and Jo walks back in to let Lisa know she has to leave and without even waiting for a reply, she walks back out. Mr. Jerome, meanwhile, tells his daughter to catch a ride with Cindy, a former babysitter who'd just arrived at the restaraunt. Once he knows she'll get home safely, him and Jo walk to her apartment. She opens the door and closes it as soon as he gets in. She tosses her keys on the table and sits on top of the counter, quite far from her former high school teacher. He gives her a look that says he can't say what he has to if she's way over there, so she walks over and sits on the couch instead. He leans forward in the chair, across from the couch and looks at her.

Mr. Jerome- Why'd you pick here?
Jo- Well, considering I'm still freakin' out about everything, here's better than in a public place.
Mr. Jerome- I see.

Jo sets her watch to time 5 minutes.

Jo- Ya got your 5 minutes, whaddaya want?
Mr. Jerome- A chance for you to see I've changed.

She sits back against the couch, crossing her legs. He clears his throat and begins.

Mr. Jerome- If I had known how much I'd hurt you... *Sighs* Jo, I can't change the past. I wish I could, but the fact of the matter is I can't.
Jo- D*** right.
Mr. Jerome- Your tone is cold. Just like mine used to be when I'd... have my ways with you. Although, you have a reason for it. I didn't.
Jo- Uh huh, 4 minutes.
Mr. Jerome- I'm not here to say I'm sorry. I know apologies could never account for any of the things I've done to you in the past. *Pauses*
Jo- Keep goin', ya got 3 minutes.

He sighs and continues.

Mr. Jerome- Unfortunately, after getting out of jail, I started a family. Well, that's not the unfortunate part, but I digress. I saw the pain I put you through and I know how you felt.
Jo- Oh, ya did? Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't think so.
Mr. Jerome- Believe it or not, Jo, I did and I still do. The young girl that was with me...---
Jo- Lemme guess, another one of your students?

He gets hurt by this remark, but he knows where it's coming from and continues.

Mr. Jerome- She's my daughter... she was raped 4 months ago... by her teacher.


That's all ur gettin unless I cant find somethin else to do LOL.

KMK

omg Kiera, this is awesome! Kay, post more when u get the chance! ;o)

ttyl!

:eek: :wave: :rolleyes: :crazy:

nooo moooore noooooow lol

Postin' more for my Kie :D lolz

Jo doesn't say anything and he continues.

Mr. Jerome- She didn't eat, sleep, or talk as much for that matter. It took her months just to trust her own boyfriend. She knows nothing of my past and I've often wanted to tell her. I'd thought nothing of what I'd done to you, until then. True, I changed from the time I'd spent in prison, the sanitarium and getting beat on by thousands of large men, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw my daughter go through.

Jo's watch starts to beep and Mr. Jerome looks up. She turns off her beeper on the watch and motions for him to continue. He smiles, satisfied she's giving him more time. He continues.

Sry guyz! I've been reeeeeally busy n i wont be home tomorrow. goin to the fair wit my b/f, Justin n since its rite bhind r skool, we're walkin n comin home reeeeeally late. so ill post more over the weekend.

posted this the night b4 the fair guyz, im home but aol is still screwy. Lisa' knowz! : / nehow, ive written more than that but i jus cant seem to get on S.Online!

Post more soon!

Mr. Jerome- She was so distant, Jo. I didn't even notice until I found a pregnancy test in the bathroom. It was right after I came home that day. She left it lying on the sink, so I left the bathroom and knocked on her door. When I heard no answer, I just went in. I found her on the floor in the corner of her room, the darkest one, just sitting there, with her hands up to her face and her knees to her chin, sobbing. When I asked her about the pregnancy test, she just sobbed harder, telling me everything. From the time he first touched her, to when he raped her. I sat there for hours, holding her in my arms, hoping to convince her that everything would be alright. Trying to shelter her, protect her from everything.

Jo nods, listening to every word.

Mr. Jerome- I'd planned to tell her... about my past, but I couldn't do it. After that, I didn't have the heart. What would she say? What would she think, after having gone through all that, that her own father, the one who held her that night and let her cry on his shirt, the he had a past of his own? She finally fell asleep, after hours of sobbing and shaking. I went into the livingroom. Sitting there, trying to soak in all of what had happened to my little girl, I was forced to relive my past, everything that I had done to you. The rape, the harassment, everything. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I know those things are unforgiveable and I wouldn't want my daughter to forgive her teacher 40 years from now. I'm just grateful that you gave me a chance after everything I have put you through. After everything I've done. I meant what I said.

Jo- What was that?
Mr. Jerome- About you being a very understanding person.
Jo- So did I. I seriously didn't think you noticed anything, but my body.
Mr. Jerome- Well, although I was a sick and twisted s.o.b., I wasn't blind.

She nods.

Jo- Was the test...?
Mr. Jerome- Negative, thank God. She's only 13.
Jo- *Bites her lower lip for a minute, then speaks* Well, not that it was any better when I was pregnant at 17, or you doin' everything that ya did to me was right, but bein' 13 is a little more... difficult.

He looks down for a minute and speaks.

Mr. Jerome- You had... I caused your miscarriage... didn't I?

He looks back up and she nods.

Mr. Jerome- Jo, I...
Jo- Don't. It's in the past and I prefer to keep it there.

That was so beautiful. I am actually sitting here crying. Anyway, this fic is coming out really great. Keep up the excellent work. I say you should post more every...5-10 minutes. If you don't I will be forced to poke and tickle you with a pointy stick!!! J/K. Post more soon!!

That was great. Really touchy. i liked it. Post more soon. *digs for the kleenex box*

Awww... wow amazing.

Sorry, I haven't been posting, guys. I wrote more in school, but I've been havin' problems with my lower stomach lately and last night it just got so bad that I had to go down to the emergency room. They haven't a clue what's wrong with me. Although, they think it might be food poisoning, or something else that I can't remember. I feel really bad about not posting, so I'll try to get it done when I'm feeling a little less worse.

It's ok I understand I spent yesterday in the Emergency Room myself. Not for my stomach but my heart, they didn't find out what was wrong with me either and I have to go back to the doctor tomorrow to see if I should see a cardiologist.

Hey no prob. I know how ya feel I was sick all last weekend and monday tuesday and wednesday. I put up with going to school too. I was miserible. But I think I'm better now but my stomach still hurts every time I eat.

Oh well hope you feel beter

Mr. Jerome- Very well. I suppose it doesn't do any good to bring it up again.

Just then, the door opens.

Eddie- Jo? They called my cell and asked where you... were. Jo, who is this?
Mr. Jerome- Married him, I see.
Eddie- Uh, yeah... Honey...who is this...?

Jo- *Laughs nervously* Uh, well, this is the uh, new... new boxboy!
Mr. Jerome- *Gives her a funny look*
Eddie- Uh huh... when did we get a boxboy?
Jo- Eh, the Encore's...box...boy...
Eddie- *Not believing a word of this* I see. Jo, can I see you in the kitchen for a minute?
Jo- Uh, why?

Eddie stares at Mr. Jerome questioningly, not really recognizing him.

Eddie- On second thought, maybe the bedroom would be better...
Jo- Eddie, it really doesn't matter, AH!

Eddie pulls her up off the couch quickly, leaving the livingroom just as rapid, causing Mr. Jerome to blink a few times. Eddie and Jo go into the bedroom and Eddie shuts the door.

Eddie- Spill it, woman.
Jo- What?
Eddie- You know "what". I'm not buyin' the boxboy thing. Ya haven't had a boxboy since Lisa tried to take him home.
Jo- Eh, Eddie, it's not really that important, I---
Eddie- Jo, I've been married to you for a few years, and known you longer than that. ...Besides, you always go "eh" before everything you say when you're not telling the truth...
Jo- *Sighs* Promise not to get mad?
Eddie- I promise.
Jo- Okay...the guy... sitting out there on our couch is... George Clooney.

Eddie raises his eyebrow at her, like he doesn't believe her and she finally caves in.

Jo- Alright, alright. It's Mr. Jerome.
Eddie- Jerome. As in the guy from high school? The teacher who raped and abused you? *A little louder* WHO GOT YOU PREGNANT..........?


That's all you get my little people's......! : P

Post more soon!!!

Post More Soon

Jo- *Sighs and nods slowly*
Eddie- *Sighs, getting up off the bed and over to her*

***NEXT DAY***
Jen- Hey, Dad?

Mr. Jerome walks in from the livingroom.

Mr. Jerome- Yeah, Jen?
Jen- I gotta do a project for school. Do we have any old photos?
Mr. Jerome- Hmm, what kind of project?
Jen- Oh, I don't know. Something about retracing our heritage or something.
Mr. Jerome- Oh, well, there should be some in the attic. If not, check the closet in the spare room.
Jen- Great. Thanks.

She walks up the stairs leading from the guest room to the attic. Opening the door, a cloud of dust and hot air fills the room and she coughs.

Jen- Oh, god. Air! *Coughs* Eh, I don't think this thing has been opened since the 70s!

Fanning and clearing away the dust particles away with her hand, she walks in, turning on a small light, hanging just above, on a long cord. She finds boxes and crates marked "Photos" and decides to continue looking after finding only empty photo albums. After numerous tries, she finally gets a piles of boxes on a top shelf. Pulling them down carefully, she sees a small one marked "School Supplies". Thinking that it might be her old school things, she opens the box. When she opens the box, she finds a pieces of paper and several rolls of typewriter tape. As she's about to close the box, a corner of a photograph peeks out from under the papers. She moves them aside, carefully, so as not to rip them. After finally uncovering the photo, she bumps the light and the attic is once again pitch black. Finding the cord, she ajusts it until the light pops back on. When she looks down to the photo, she's confused at what she sees. Picking the photo up and holding it to the light, she can't believe what it reveals.

And what is it??? post more soon!

omg post more soon!

This is GREAT! But why did you end at such a HUGE cliffhanger?? That was cruel. But anywayz, you're doing a fantastic job. Post more soon. I am glad to hear you are feeling better. :)

Hey hey hey now don't quit wanna know why I'M ReADING THIS!!! There that should be a good enough reason why you shoiuldn't quit.

:eek: Noo don't end it! You have lots of regular readers!

She looks up, almost as if someone were standing over her and sees nothing. Figuring it's just the wind or her nerves, she looks back and finds more pictures. She inspects them all, finiding mostly ones of the same girl and covers her mouth.

Jen- Oh, god... please... no... Oh, god I'm gunna be sick...
Mr. Jerome- Jen? Honey, did you find what you needed?

She gets an angry look in her eyes and walks down with the box. She goes into the livingroom and he smiles at her.

Mr. Jerome- Did you find what you were looking for?

She speaks with him in an irritated tone that could cut glass.

Jen- Yeah, Dad, I did.

She said, angrily slamming the box down on the table.

Mr. Jerome- Jen? Hey, honey? What's the matter?
Jen- Hmm, well, now, let's see. I find out that I almost got pregnant because of some sick bast*** of a teacher raped me and now I also find out that you have a past of your own!

He's stunned for a minute and tries to lie his way through it.

Mr. Jerome- I don't know what you're talking about Jen.

Even though she already knew, the uneasiness in his voice told her he was lying.

Jen- Dam*** Dad, you know what the h3ll I mean!

She picks up the box, dumping all of its contents onto the table and picking up the few she saw the most.

Jen- I can't believe you did--- She stops midsentence and just runs out of the room.

Mr. Jerome sighs.

Mr. Jerome- What have I done...?

He picks up the phone and dials Jo's number.

MEANWHILE.... Jo picks up the phone while she's doing her bills.

Jo- Hello?
Mr. Jerome- Jo, thank god.
Jo- What's wrong?
Mr. Jerome- It's Jen...she uh... -Sighs- She found out.
Jo- What? How?
Mr. Jerome- I'd rather not say...
Jo- -Thinks for a moment- On second thought, maybe that's a better idea...
Mr. Jerome- Jo, what am I going to do? I never ... I can't... -Sighs- She's my world, the only thing that made sense in my life and now she hates me.
Jo- -Sighs, taking off her reading glasses- Alright. Just uh, stay there. I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Mr. Jerome- Thank you. Please hurry, she's been known to run away from her problems... literally.
Jo- Sounds familiar. Uh, look, I'll be there soon.

They hang up and Jo goes to get dressed. She pulls on a black top, a pair of jeans, a checkered black and red covershirt and she's just about to walk out the door when she looks down at her sock feet. Laughing a little to herself, she pulls on a pair of black boots and grabs her car keys. She gets in and drives to Mr. Jerome's house. All the way there she wondered how his daughter found out. After thinking back to everything that happened between them, though, she pushed it out of her mind, deciding it was best that she didn't know. She finally gets there, after coming out of her swirling vortex of thoughts and shuts off the engine. Going up to the house, she rings the doorbell. When no one answers she knocks and is just about to knock again when Mr. Jerome opens the door...


Blessed be.

:) awesome, glad you posted more

awesome post more soon

Post more soon!

Don't quit posting! I've been gone from the boards for a little while, and haven't had time to read the fan fics. You are going a great job. Keep it up.

Kat

What do you mean you are thinking about quitting writing this fic?
You cannot do that!! You musn't. It is coming out great. JJust because there aren't many replies doesnt mean people are not reading it. Have high hopes. Don't write this fic because of all the replies. Write this fic for all the people who do reply and read it. *Hugs*
Talk to you soon.

Moooooooooore: (A little more at least heh)

Mr. Jerome- Jo! Oh, thank god. Jo, I can't get her out of her room.
Jo- I noticed...

She nods and walks in. He shuts the door after her and they go into the livingroom to talk.

Jo- Okay, so what should I do? I mean, it's not like she exactly knows me...
Mr. Jerome- Right. But I'm not sure. Just... try to talk to her. Maybe she'll talk to you... as you can see, I'm not a woman...

Jo grins and goes to the door and knocks. Mr. Jerome follows and laughs when he sees her. HE taps on her shoulder and tries to contain his laughter.

Mr. Jerome- Uh, Jo...?
Jo- Hmm?

She tries knocking again and he has to cough to cover up the laughter.

Mr. Jerome- Uhm... Jo... that's the closet...

: ) Gotta eeeeeeeat

:lol: :rofl: That was sooooo funny. But way to short. Post more on this. SOON!! Byeya!

Post more soon. I was confused at first cuz that is not your usual username. I didn't see your subtitle before I read it.

LMAO it was the closet! Yeah that way too short :p post soon

Jo laughs nervously and Mr. Jerome shows her to the right door. She knocks and hears faint sobbing from inside. Jo looks at Mr. Jerome, who has his head down. Right at this point, she actually find kinda sorry for him. She sighs and tries again. This time she hears rustling and movement. Then the noises stop abruptly. Instead of knocking again, Jo tries to calm her, by talking to her through the door.

Jo- Jennifer? Please, listen to me.

She asked, in a soft, calm voice. A faint reply comes from inside the room.

Jen- Who are you?
Jo- Remember the waitress from the restaurant...---

She swallows to say that last part.

Jo- ...--- And the young brunette in the picture...?

Jen nods, not that Jo can see it.

Jo- Well, that's who I am. I know you're upset and I know why... But your father is a different person now, Jen. And ya gotta know that he loves you more than anything. He'd never wanna do anything to hurt you. Even if it is unintentional like today. Jennifer, are you listening?

She asked, still in a soft voice. Jen's reply comes back also in a quiet voice.

Jen- Yes.

Jo smiles a little and hopes what she asks next will work

Jo- Will you open the door?

Jen hesitates answering, then wipes a few of her tears away with the back of her hand quickly, knowing Jo's waiting for an answer.

Jen- L... Let me talk to my dad... alone.

She said, opening the door a crack. Jo smiles and looks at Mr. Jerome, speaking in a hushed voice.

Jo- I'll wait outside.

She said, walking out. Mr. Jerome walks in and his daughter shuts the door. They have a long conversation, and Jo waits around outside, with her sunglasses on, leaning against her car. After a while, Mr. Jerome walks out and down the porch, over to Jo.

Jo- So, how'd it go?
Mr. Jerome- ... It's going to take her a while to... uh...
Jo- Trust ya?

Mr. Jerome sighs and smiles sheepishly.

Mr. Jerome- Yeah.
Jo- Yeah, I know the feeling... *Sighs*

***The Next Day***
Jo's working and the phone rings. Lisa picks it up and, thankfully, doesn't recognize Mr. Jerome's voice. She listens for a minute and leaves her office. She walks over to Jo and taps her on the shoulder.

Lisa- Some guy's on the phone and wants you. He sounds hott!
Jo- Lis, how many times have I told ya, keep your hormones under control when workin'?

She said, grinning. Lisa laughs and gives her a playful punch on the shoulder.

Lisa- Line 2, woman.

Jo smiles and walks back to Lisa's office. She picks up the phone.

Jo- Hello?
Mr. Jerome- Jo, it's me. Please, you have to help me. I'm innocent.
Jo- Whoa, ey, wait, slow down. What's up?
Mr. Jerome- Jo... I've been arrested.
