Chapter 15

Jessie sat up walking over to get her diary out her bag. She walked over to her bed, and sat down with her pen. She opened up the diary, and started to write.

"Dear Diary".

"I miss you Grandpa, you were someone who always made me smile. I need you right now, we use to do so much together. The day you died, was the worst day of my life. I lost my Daddy, but I found, out you were my Grandpa, not my Daddy. You will always be my Daddy in my eyes. I met my real Father, he is so handsome, and he acts likes he cares, but I don't know Grandpa. I wish you were here, you would know, you always did. Ma Ma said Daddy would get tired of me, I guess she was right. He left me after we made plans. I know Grandpa, I'm being a baby, but I just want someone to want me". Jessie was crying so hard, she had to stop writing for a moment. She didn't see Bobby walk in, he sat beside her touching her arm.

"OMG I didn't see you come in"

"I know you were crying Sweetie what is wrong"?

"I'm just missing my Grandpa Uncle Bobby. He loved me, he never let me down ever. Why did he have to die, it isn't fair"?

"Hey just think about the good times with him. You obviously loved him a lot sweetie. He was a good man, I can tell".

"He was he could make me smile. He was my Father, he loved me Uncle Bobby, I saw him collapse, and they took him away. I never got to tell him, thank you for being so good to me".

"He knows Sweetie".

"How he is gone now"?

"You don't think he knew you loved him."?

"I guess, Uncle Bobby do you think my Father is tired of me already"?

"Tired of you why would you say that"?

"My Mother said he would, I didn't believe her until tonight. He was going to watch a movie with me, and have popcorn. He went out, I know he went to see a lady, he was dressed up, with cologne on. I wasn't important enough to stay home for". Tears fell down her cheeks, Bobby wiped them away. "You listen to me, tell your Father how your feeling, but he is trying sweetie. He is a difficult man, but I know he loves you".

"I know Uncle Bobby, my Mom doesn't". Bobby hugged her, and they jump when JR walked in, throwing his coat on the chair.

"Daddy what are you doing home"?

"Hey I was halfway across town, and realized there isn't anywhere else I want to be than watching Flashdance with you". Jessie smiled, she ran into JR's arms, and he hugged her. Bobby smiled, he was so glad JR, thought of someone else beside himself for a change. He walked out, and shut the door. Jessie smiled, "You still want to watch the movie with me"?

"Yes, John Ross is coming home tomorrow, I'm going to take the day off. I'm going to introduce you both, I want both of you to get along".

"Daddy, why did you really come home"?

"I couldn't get the look on your face out of my mind. I knew I hurt you, and it killed me".

"I love you Daddy". She ran over putting the movie in, she grabbed the popcorn, and sat beside JR. She leaned into him, he wrapped his arm around her. The Movie started, Jessie smiled, "that is Alex, I love her character Daddy".

They were watching the movie, JR didn't want to admit it but he was having fun. Jessie smiled, "this part is so cool, watch her dance here". JR laughed, "I'm watching Sweetie". Jessie whispered, "Can I go down , and get a pop Dad"?

"Yes, go in the fridge, bring two Sweetie". She ran, and he smiled as he noticed her diary, on the bed. He knew he was wrong, but he looked at the last entry. He felt sick, he didn't realize he hurt her so bad. He heard her running down the hall, he put the diary back, and looked at the TV. Jessie ran in, "I got you a pepsi , is that ok"?

"Yes". Jessie sat down, and smiled, "Daddy thank you for coming back home"

"I'm so glad , I did". Jessie looked at the movie, but moved close to JR. He could see she was so desperate for someone to care for her, he knew if he made a mistake with her now, she may turn to a boy for love, and that would kill him. He had to grow up, and be the Father he should be to Jessie and John Ross. He prayed John Ross accepted her, but if he didn't he would do everything in his power, to make it right. The Movie ended, he laughed, Jessie fell asleep in his arms. He laid her down, he walked over turning the film off. He was about to leave the room, but he walked over and sat beside her. He whispered, "I'm sorry Jessie for hurting you, but I'm learning. I promise you , I will change, but you have to be patient."

Jessie opened her eyes, "Daddy is the movie over"?

"Yes, go back to sleep"

"You liked the movie right Dad"?

"Love it, I would watch it again with you". Jessie smiled, but her eyes shut, and JR pulled the blanket over her. He kissed her forehead, he walked to the door, and whispered, "night my girl, love you". JR walked out, turning the lights out, and shut the door.

Jessie turned, "Night Daddy".

Chapter 15

The next morning 7am

JR almost fell off the bed, when he heard music blasting from Jessie's room. He grabbed his housecoat, he ran out in the hall. Bobby came out of his room laughing, 'What on earth JR, it is 7am"?

"I'm sorry go back to bed". Miss Ellie and Clayton came out of their rooms so did Christopher. JR smiled, "I will explain to her, she can't do stuff like this, I'm so sorry". He couldn't help but laugh, he wasn't use to a teenager, especially a girl. They all followed JR, he opened the door. They all smiled, Jessie didn't see them, she was dancing with her new jacket and jeans on. She was looking at herself in the mirror, Miss Ellie touched JR's arm. "OMG JR she is a great Dancer"

"Yes, OMG I'm in trouble Ma Ma look at her dance".

Bobby and Clayton were laughing, she was adorable, she turned, and screamed seeing them all staring.

She ran to her CD player turning it off. "OMG I'm sorry, I woke you all didn't I"?

Miss Ellie walked in, "Yes, but don't worry about it, but we have to make it a rule no music until after 9am, from now on".

"Ok Grandma, I'm so sorry, I couldn't sleep".

Bobby walked in, "OMG girl, I have to take you to a club with me, you can dance". JR walked over, "No clubs Bobby , she is 17 years old, go all of you " They all laugh, they shut the door, JR smiled, "Jessie you scared me, this house is quiet normally"

"I'm really sorry Daddy, I wasn't thinking".

"No it is ok, but you know you can't do it again, this early".

"I know Daddy, do you like this outfit, I want to wear it to meet John Ross"

"Well I'm going to go to the airport , I don't want to take you with me. You will be a shock to him, I want to explain you first".

"Can't I go with you Daddy"?

"No, not this time, stay home with Grandma".

"Your ashamed of me, and you know John Ross won't like me"

"No I'm not ashamed, I'm afraid John Ross will hurt you"

"Fine, I will stay here Daddy".

"You want to come with me, what if John Ross says something mean can you take it"?

"Yes, I didn't fall apart with my own Mother, a little boy won't kill me " JR smiled, "Ok come, but don't you ever think I'm ashamed of you again".

"Daddy what is John Ross like"?

"He is a good boy, he might feel jealous, but that is understandable. He has to share his old man with you".

"Your not old Daddy, well your kind of old, but your cute, especially when you wear your Cowboy hat".

"I always wear it Sweetie, but you think I'm kind of old"?

"Yes but your a Father your suppose to be old". Jessie laughed, JR pouted, "I'm not old, I'm mature".

"I'm a teen dying to be a adult". Jessie giggled.

"Your a teen, that isn't going to rush things".

"Daddy when are we leaving"?

"1 hour Sweetie, but be tough, if John Ross hurts you , be ok about it".

"I will Daddy, go get dressed, I want to meet my Brother". JR walked to the door, "Jessie you dance amazing, but do me a favor only dance in this room, never in front of boys". He walked out, Jessie giggled, she knew he thought she was good, she fell on the bed, smiling.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I can't wait for Jessie and John Ross to meet.

[melindajo2000]

[jessie]

Chapter 16

JR was downstairs waiting for Jessie, when Clayton and Miss Ellie walked over to him.

"Your going to pick up John Ross at the airport"?

"Yes, I'm just waiting for Jessie"

"Maybe she should wait her, you explain everything, than they meet"

'I wanted that Ma Ma, but she thought I was ashamed of her"

"JR you might think she is strong, another rejection might really hurt her badly"

Jessie walked downstairs, "I'm ready Daddy"

"Jessie are you sure you don't want to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Clayton"

"I'm not being rude, but I want to go with you Daddy to meet my brother" JR smiled, "Come on than, lets go". JR walked ahead Jessie ran and hugged Miss Ellie and Clayton, "I just want to meet him, or else I would stay with you both"

"Go Sweetie we understand". Jessie ran, and got in JR's car, and he left. They were talking, he knew John Ross was a great kid, but this was going to be a shock. They got to the airport, and they went in, they were told the airplane arrived, he was just going through customs. They waited when JR spotted him, he waved, and John Ross ran over, hugging JR.

"Dad I have missed you, I have something for you"

"John Ross I missed you too, but I have someone I would like you to meet. This will be a shock for you, but once you get to know her, you will love her I just know it". John Ross was confused, but he smiled, "Hi I'm John Ross".

"I'm Jessie nice to meet you, I have heard a lot about you".

"Oh I don't know one thing about you". JR touched John Ross's face, "this is your Sister, well technically half sister". John Ross was shocked and just stared at Jessie.

"She is older than me you cheated on Mom"?

"No well I knew your Ma Ma, but we were not married when Jessie was born"

"Who is her Mother"?

"Marilee Stone, but she is staying with us, not Marilee"

"Why Dad, why not with Marilee"?

"She doesn't want me John Ross". Jessie says

"I'm sorry either do I, but I'm stuck with you I guess. I have to get my luggage, than we can go home". JR was hurt that John Ross acted that way, but he had a feeling he would. Jessie smiled as John Ross walked over to the luggage area. JR touched her cheek, "Sweetie he is just angry, but he will come around, I'm sure".

"It is ok Daddy go to him, he might need you"

"What about you"?

"I will wait by the door", Jessie walked away, and JR turned going to John Ross.

"Dad yell all you want, I'm sorry I won't accept her"?

"Why"?

"Because how embarrassing is one minute being a only child the next I have a big sister. She is your mistake not mine, so don't push her on me". JR grabbed John Ross's arm, "I understand your angry, but don't you call her a mistake again. It isn't her fault that me and her Mother were foolish. I really want Jessie to be with us, and I'm not sending her away. I don't love you any less, you will always be my boy. You don't have to like her, but never will you say what you just said to me to her".

"Yes Sir, I'm sorry". JR and John Ross got his luggage, and they walked over to Jessie. They went to JR's car, and put the bags in the trunk. John Ross walked over, "I always sit in the front, I guess she gets my place now".

Jessie whispered, "I will sit in the back, you sit beside your Daddy"

"Isn't he your Daddy too"?

"John Ross please sit in the front, I don't care". She got in the back, and John Ross sat in the front. JR got in, and they all drove home, not one of them saying a word.

[melindajo2000]

I figured this would be hard for John Ross but still he acted rude. Great update Jessie

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I knew that it would be hard for John Ross to have an older sister but he was very rude to Jessie.

[jessie]

Chapter 17

They got to Southfork, Jessie got out of the car, and John Ross went to the trunk with JR to get his luggage. He put his small bag down, while JR and him picked up his big bags. Jessie smiled, "I can get this for you John Ross". She lifted his small bag, he pulled it away, "I don't need your help thank you". Miss Ellie and Clayton saw how hurt Jessie was so did JR. She didn't want to cry, but tears well up in her eyes. "I'm sorry John Ross, I thought I would help". She ran into the house, and Miss Ellie was torn, should she go to her, or John Ross?.

"John Ross welcome home Sweetie, but why did you do that"?

"I'm sorry but I don't like her". John Ross walked past them, and went into the house. JR put the bag down, "It is worse than I thought what should I do"?

"Go to him, talk to him, I will check on Jessie".

"Ma Ma, she really tried, he was hurtful".

"He is angry, go to him". JR grabbed his bag, and walked upstairs. Miss Ellie turned, "Clayton come on, lets go see if she is ok" ?They walk inside, and go upstairs, they knocked on her door.

"Come in".

Miss Ellie walked in, "Hey Sweetie lunch is in 1 hour. We have all John Ross's favourites".

"I'm not hungry Grandma, John Ross wouldn't want me there".

"Hey you are part of this family, if you hide in here how will he get use to you"?

" You want me to take his abuse, no thanks".

"Oh you and John Ross have Ewing blood, your both stubborn. I bet you will soon be fast friends, but you have to get in his face". Clayton laughed, "Miss Ellie what are you doing"?

"Hey she is going to make this right, I know she can do it".

" Grandma you want me to be a pest, that won't go away"?

"Yeah pretty much, no matter what he says, laugh it off".

Jessie smiled, "I can do that , you are so much like my Grandpa".

"Come on help me get everything ready downstairs". Jessie got up, Clayton smiled, "Ellie your being bad". Miss Ellie smiled, grabbing Jessie's hand, and said, "Lets go down, I have something perfect for you to do". They went down, Clayton followed them, hoping Miss Ellie wasn't setting Jessie up for a letdown.

Jessie was helping in the kitchen, she helped ice a cake. She was making pretty designs on the cake. Ellie hugged her, "Oh Sweetie perfect your good at this"

'Thank You Grandma, I guess that baking class Grandma sent me to, I learned something. I only learned how to ice perfect because I love icing." Clayton walked in, "We wouldn't know you have it all over your face girl"

"No do I Grandma"?

"Yes, were you dipping into it"?

"Not with my finger, I got another fork promise". Miss Ellie laughed, so did Clayton. "Go wash your face, and come down, lunch is being served in 10 minutes". She ran upstairs, she laughed seeing her face in the mirror. She washed her face, brushed her hair, and was walking out of the room. She saw JR and John Ross coming out of the room. John Ross yelled, "If she is eating with us, I would rather eat in my room". Jessie ran over, "You would hurt your Grandma, she has been working all day to make this special"?

"Why don't you stay in your room, and make my day perfect"?

Jessie smiled, "No I'm not missing Grandma's cooking, and I wouldn't miss your coming home lunch for anything in the world.". She smiled, and ran downstairs, JR smiled, he could see John Ross grin, but he shook his head, "she is going to be a pain , that just proved it". John Ross ran downstairs, and JR smiled following him.

[melindajo2000]

good for Jessie for standing up for herself to john ross he deserved it. another good chapter

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I am soo happy that Jessie stood up for herself in front of John Ross.

[jessie]

Chapter 18

Everyone sat down to eat, Jessie sat beside Ray while John Ross and JR sat beside each other. Ray smiled, "John Ross how was your trip"?

"Good Ma Ma said to say hi to everyone, well she doesn't know about you Jessie. I'm sure she won't be happy Marilee's Daughter is living at Southfork".

Ray smiled, "She is your Sister John Ross, show some respect".

"That is ok Uncle Ray, I'm not really happy to have Marilee as my Mother either". John Ross laughed, "where were you all this time Jessie"?

"With my Grandparents, my Grandpa passed away, that is when I found out my Mom was Marilee".

"How convenient if you ask me"?

Miss Ellie laughed, "John Ross don't you like your lunch , all your favorites"?

"Yes Grandma, but I kind of lost my appetite".

Clayton touched his shoulder, "Snap out of it young man, your Grandma was slaving in the kitchen all day. Well Jessie helped she ate all the left over icing". Everyone laughed, but John Ross just glared, making Jessie just stare at him.

John Ross smiled, " Hey Grandma you won't need Teresa you have a little helper right there isn't she special"? Ray put his fork down, JR grabbed John Ross's arm, "Enough so help me God boy".

"What Dad, she is just so sweet, I bet she is just like her Tramp Mother"?

"I'm not shut up or I will bust your teeth". JR jumped up, "Both of you to your rooms now". Jessie ran out, and went upstairs. John Ross looked at JR, "Your sending me to my room"?

"Yes, now ". John Ross was shocked he threw his napkin, and walked out yelling, "I should have stayed with Mom". JR sat back, everyone was quiet, he whispered, "what am I going to do"?

Bobby touched his arm, but JR got up, and walked out of the house, driving off. Everyone sat silently, just staring at their food, not knowing what to do next?

John Ross got upstairs, he could hear her crying, he walked to her room. Her door was slightly open, he opened it, and went in slamming the door.

"Get out, I had enough of you".

"Really , your not taking my Daddy away from me, do you hear me"?

"What I'm not taking him, he is my Daddy too"? John Ross yelled, "All these years, he wasn't there for me and my Mom. You walk into his life, and he wants to make you happy. I'm not sharing him with anyone, especially a pathetic loser like you, who's parents gave her up as a baby". John Ross was shocked when she jumped off the bed, and ran over knocking him to the ground. She screamed, "I'm not pathetic you are, I wanted to be your friend, he is my Daddy,you won't make me leave. I'm staying, and I don't care if you like me John Ross". He pushed her, knocking her backward, she screamed, "get out of my room, I hate you".

"I hate you, I can't believe you think you will ever be a Ewing. You will just be JR's big mistake". John Ross walked out of the room, Jessie screamed, " Go back to your Ma Ma, me and Daddy don't need you". John Ross stopped , "I will make your life miserable Jessie that is a promise". John Ross was shocked when Clayton grabbed his arm dragging him back into Jessie room slamming the door. "You both are acting like children, you both will shut up, and listen to me, am I clear"?

Jessie and John Ross turned away, but Clayton yelled very loud. "Am I clear"?

"Yes" they both say, as Clayton told them to sit down. They sat beside each other on the bed. Clayton just stared at first, "what happened downstairs, will never happen again. John Ross you surprised me, why can't you just give Jessie a chance? It isn't her fault but you know what, live with it, she is your half Sister, so you can give her a chance, or keep this fighting going. You both will show respect to each other, in front of family. I have something in my room, we can go outside, and settle this right now". Clayton walked out, Jessie and John Ross stare at each other, wondering what Clayton was getting? He walked in with a box, pulling out two sets of boxing gloves. "These were mine, and my Son we use to love play boxing. Put these on, and go at it, I think it is better than the hateful things your saying. Jessie jumped up, "Cool boxing gloves, I use to play boxing with my Grandpa sometimes". John Ross tried his on, and smiled, 'You mean I can hit her, and not be in trouble for it"? Jessie laughed, "I will hit back remember that John Ross". John Ross was jumping around, Jessie smiled, and put her hands up.

"Jessie hit me first if you can". John Ross grinned. Jessie was scared, but she wanted to badly. John Ross laughed, "Your Grandpa must have been a great Trainer, he didn't teach you anything did he"? Jessie socked him in the chin, making John Ross fall on the bed. Clayton mouthed opened he didn't think either would actually do it. Jessie smiled, "Say what you want about me, say something about my Grandpa again, I will make you hurt". John Ross laughed, "Oh God you punched me".

Jessie walked over, "I'm sorry, but you made me mad". John Ross smiled at Clayton, "She has guts doesn't she"?

"Yes, I really didn't think you would hit each other, please don't hit her back".

John Ross put his hand out to Jessie, "Truce Jessie".

"Truce". They both smile

[melindajo2000]

wow they really tore into each other, I'm glad they called a truce, I hope it will last
