Where's the Love
Part 2
"Come on Jessy. How long does it take? I've been ready for at least fifteen minutes now. Liv ought to be here soon." Chele called out. "I'm still working on my hair. It has to be just right or it'll ruin the outfit." Jessy yelled back. "Here's Liv are you almost done?" Chele asked. "You tell me. Do I look done?" Jessy asked entering the front room where Chele was waving out the window. "Wow you look hot. Great outfit. Zats you say. I really like your hair. How'd you do that?" Chele asked turning to see her. "One of those "As Seen On Tv" ads that Momma caught and she sent for it. Want me do yours?" Jessy asked making her way to the door, opening it and waiting for their visitor. "Hey Liv I'm Jessy. Thanks for inviting us. We so need to celebrate. I got a job at Zats today so I am definitely a resident of Tulsa now." Jessy said introducing her self. "Zats, my most favorite store. I was gonna buy that outfit. It's so cool." Liv replied making her way into the apartment. "Now you can borrow mine instead. Oh Sis I didn't tell you I get a 30% employee discount on anything even sale items so if you want something, let me know and I'll save you some money. You too Liv." Jessy explained. "Save me money. Good roomie, good roomie." Chele teased. "So you're moving here too?" Liv asked. "Yeppers. Just like my big Sis I'm going to TU only I won't be at the top of my class." Jessy answered. "No you'll be on the volleyball court or the basketball court." Chele teased. "As long as it isn't a judge's court I don't mind." Jessy teased back then added, "I'll do your hair if you want." "We got time? Hers looks so cute." Chele asked. "Only if you do mine too." Liv answered. They headed to Jessy's room and while she did Chele's hair, Liv painted her nails. "My friend Carrie is going to be so jealous." Liv said looking at her hair. "So who's going to be at this party?" Jessy asked putting things away. "Never know. It's usually the same old group in the beginning but word of mouth usually kicks in and you can never tell who'll show up. You know the band Admiral Twin? Well they showed up at the last party. It was rumored that Hanson was coming but they didn't. You know Hanson?" Liv replied. "Duh! Who doesn't know the Tulsa Trio. I'd just die if they came." Jessy squealed. "They're just guys. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like any other guy." Chele said rolling her eyes, then whispering, "But they cover some mighty fine butts with theirs." "Oh yeah." Jessy sighed. "No kidding." Liv sighed. "This could be trouble. Which Hanson are you picturing putting his pants on one leg at a time?" Jessy asked. "Who me? Oh I love them all." Liv answered. "Right and I'm a rocket scientist." Jessy teased. "I do like them all but..." Liv insisted. "There it is. Did you hear her? She said but. You know she's thinking about a certain butt don't you?" Jessy teased. "Fess up. We can see you drooling." Chele teased. "To be honest. Even thought he's a little older than me, I admire Isaac. He's just so..." Liv shared. "So what? I personally think he's so hot. I mean look at him pull off frizzy hair. If it was me, we'd never leave because I'd never be happy with my hair. Ike don't let it get to him. He's just so cool." Jessy sighed. "I think he is extremely talented. And they all come off so nice. Not total jerks like the rest of the guys their ages." Chele added. "Don't tell me you like Ike too!" Liv squealed. "Sure I like him." Chele insisted. "Me too." Jessy shared. "But?" Liv asked. "Man there she goes again talking about Ike's butt." Jessy teased, adding, "Sis is a Taylor fan and I admire the youngest hottie Zac." The three found they had a lot of other things in common besides their love of Hanson on the ride to the party. "So who's throwing this party anyway?" Jessy asked. "it's complicated. His name is Dave and I used to go with him until my ex-best friend stabbed me in the back and while we were battling he like starts going with this, this... Oh there's no nice way to describe a whore but a whore. A nasty whore. Oh god he is so pussy whipped he's turned into this total jerk because of her." Liv answered. "No way. Sis that sounds like you and Matt." Jessy squealed. "Matt who?" Liv asked. "A rat, a dumb, stupid, dirty, rotten, stinken, good for nothing rat. Broke my big sissy's heart and someday he'll pay. I don't know when, but mark my words someday he'll pay." Jessy growled. "Jessy that's not totally true." Chele said, then added, "And it's so unfair to the rat race." "Rat race. I don't believe you're worried about the rats. But I guess if I was a rat I wouldn't want to be related to Matt." Jessy choked out mumbling "rat race" over and over as she laughed. "So he dump you for your ex-best friend?" Liv asked. "No. It's kind of different. I mean Matt and I weren't really a couple but I think we could have been if it wasn't for Carrie really wanting Matt for herself. It really hurt to figure out she was using me all along just to be close to him. I mean she's pimping me to Matt so he'd like her and spend time with her just to be with me. We all lost in the long run. He is so totally useless because of that hootchie. I don't really like who he is now all because of her." Chele shared. "It's his loss." Jessy declared. "I don't even know that rat but I know you and I agree, it's his loss." Liv declared, adding, "Here we are. Now Dave is so totally off limits. Jessy he is going to fall for you big time. No offense but he is definitely a boob man and he's going to die and go to heaven the first time he lays eyes on you. I mean you make me feel small." "Not another Neanderthal. Do guys honestly think I'd be attracted to someone who can only gawk at my chest while drooling. I mean the number of below the waistline salutes I've gotten just by being me." Jessy shared before breaking into song, "That don't impress me much." "I apologize now for the barbaric things he is about to do." Liv teased as she parked the car and all three got out and headed in. "Wait I want to go first so I can watch him drool. Maybe he'll get so excited he'll wet himself." Chele teased. "He always was a minute man." Liv teased and they all laughed. "LIv baby you came. What's the joke?" a tall, dark, and somewhat handsome guy asked wrapping his arm around her. "Hey babe. You had to be there. David this is my friend Chele. You know I told you about meeting her at school. Jessy, Jessy where are you? We brought her little sister along if you don't mind?" Liv asked turning to wink at Chele before they both watched him for his reaction. "Well it's showtime." Jessy said to herself adjusting her clothes and fluffing her hair before entering and asking, "You call me?" "Ahhhhhh." David moaned as she came into sight. "Yes Jessy. This is David our host for tonight. Babe this is Chele's little sister Jessy. David? David you okay? Babe you're like drooling." Liv introduced and began giggling finally taking a finger and wiping his mouth. "Pathetic." Chele whispered. "So typical." Jessy said making her way past them and into the room. Jessy found meeting new people and making friends an easy thing and was enjoying the party. "Hey Sis." Jessy called out waving Chele over, finishing, "Everybody this is my Sis, Chele. Chele this is Mike, Bill, Jennifer, Diane, Sue and Kathy." "Hey everybody. Sis has Dave found you?" Chele asked. "Tried twice but I just turned and walked away. Why?" Jessy answered. "Well at least he's trying. I just reamed him a good one and told him to apologize. You make it difficult for him." Chele explained. "My pleasure." Jessy chuckled. "Dave can be such a jerk." Kathy added. "He's nice to me. I don't have any boobs." Diane shared. "He must really be nice to guys. Does he like you Mike, Bill?" Jessy teased. "You know... now that you mention it." Bill teased back and the whole group laughed. "What's the joke?" Dave asked joining the group. "Well you going to tell him or do I?" Jessy asked turning to Bill before walking away. "Wait Jessy." David called out, turning to Chele then continuing, "I'm trying to apologize but she keeps walking off." "It should tell you something David. Jessy must have been really hurt by your rude actions. She's normally such a tuffy. Not much makes her mad or cry. I think you blew it." Chele explained then walked away also. "Wait. What's with chicks tonight. Everyone walks away." David said as the rest of the group turned and walked away. "Was it something you said?" Liv asked walking up to David. "Nah. I don't think so. I think it's the Jessy thing. They like her so they left me like she did." David complained. "Just apologize." Liv suggested. "I try but she just walks away before I can." David said turning her way. "Boy I don't think I've ever seen you this way. I think you care that you hurt her feelings. Wow." Liv said shocked by the sad look on his face. "I guess I do. Bummer." David replied then walked off in the direction of Jessy one more time. He found her once again making new friends. "Man everybody likes her and she hates me." David moaned. "You say something man?" someone asked. "Nah." David replied shaking his head no before making his way closer to Jessy. A few feet away from the group Jessy was with, a group of guys were discussing her in depth. Jessy heard the rude comments, "Bet she works at Hooters, Definite boob job, What a rack' but it was the "I'd die happy if she'd suffocate me with those' that did it. Through all the comments Jessy stood proud with her head up high, chosing to ignore their rudeness but there was something about the voice. When it came to her why she knew the voice, all color left her face and sadness replaced her smile as her shoulders drooped. "You okay?" someone near her asked. "Jessy are you okay?" David asked making his way to her quickly. "No. Leave me alone." Jessy whispered trying hard not to cry before bolting from the room. Jessy made it to the bathroom only to find a line waiting to use it. She headed down the hall to find someplace to be alone. "What did you do to her now?" Liv demanded to know. "I didn't do anything. I was over there but saw her turn pale. Is she sick?" David asked. "I don't think so. Chele. Chele come here." Liv called out waving Chele over. "Oh my god. Taylor Hanson." Chele whispered to herself as she looked past Liv to a group of guys behind her. "Yeah Liv what's up?" Chele said making her way across the room. "Something's wrong with Jessy. I assumed it was asshole here but he swears he didn't say anything. She looked so hurt. I think she was crying." Liv explained. "No not Jessy. Jessy doesn't cry. Well at least not a lot. You sure you didn't say something?" Chele asked glaring at David. "I swear. I wasn't even near her. I was over there and all of a sudden she turns white and she just looked so sad. I swear to you, I didn't say nothing." David explained. "It wasn't him, it was that group of morons." someone said pointing to the group with Hanson. "Okay what did you say?" Liv asked before turning to see who she was talking to, adding, "Oops. Hi guys. Oh tell me you aren't jerks like all the rest of the guys." "I hope not. What are you talking about?" Isaac asked. "Did you make rude remarks about a blonde that was standing here a minute ago?" Liv asked staring at him saddened by the guilt she saw on his face, adding, "Oh you did." "Why? Did she ask you to pick on her? Did she say please destroy what self esteem I have?" Chele asked getting in their faces, adding, "Do you have any idea what you've done?" "We're sorry. We didn't mean for her to hear." Taylor explained. "That doesn't make it right. What, you think you can talk about someone as long as they don't hear you?" Chele asked getting right in Taylor's face. "No. You're right it was rude. I'm really sorry. Do you know where she is, I'd like to apologize." Taylor asked completely throwing Chele for a loop. She had decided that she had been wrong about him and he was a pig like all other males but this... "You'd apologize to her?" Chele asked still stunned. "Yes I would. No make that yes I will. You're right.. um. um. I didn't ask your name." Taylor said extending his hand and introducing himself. This display of manners is exactly what she had expected from Taylor Hanson but this was too late, "I can't believe you'd do something so crass. I have to find her." Chele said turning a heading out of the room. "Wait I'll help." Taylor said chasing after her. "So what did you say?" Liv asked glaring at Isaac then Zac. "I didn't mean it honest." Zac answered sounding full of guilt. "Not you. Oh why did it have to be you?" Liv moaned. "Why is it so bad that it was Zac but not me?" Isaac asked introducing himself. "My name is Liv Greene. Isaac it's just that Jessy is this major Zac fan and to have him say whatever it was he said. I know it's just human nature to look at pretty girls and probably to dissect them too, but for Zac to have said anything about her. You know she took it to heart. Go ahead tell me what you said so we know what we're dealing with." Liv explained then turned to Zac, quickly adding, "Man it's not good is it. You look so guilty Zac." "I really didn't mean it. I mean it was just talk. She probably hates me now." Zac shared with such a sad face. "I can't find her anywhere. Checked the bathroom, bedrooms." Chele said returning. "We checked for her outside too. I mean everybody's seen her and most of them want an introduction." Taylor added. "And she hates me now." Zac moaned. "You never told me what you said." Liv reminded. "Don't hate me okay. It was a mean, stupid thing to say and I swear I didn't mean it." Zac pleaded before repeating what he'd said. "I don't believe you. How could you?" Chele squealed, outraged at first but as she pondered the thought she began to giggle, whispering, "What a way to go though?" "Chele you're her Sis. How can you laugh about this." Liv scolded before laughing and adding, "He is right, he sure would die happy." "Talk about me." Isaac teased. "Well it is kind of cute when you think about it." Liv shared as they all chuckled. "You're Jessy aren't you?" someone asked. "I confess I'm Jessy." Jessy answered. "Your sister was looking for you. She seemed really upset about something." they shared sending Jessy in search of her sister. "Oh no. Why are you with those pigs. She doesn't seem upset. Better go see if she's okay. I can just ignore them." Jessy thought to herself trying to rebuild her self esteem as she made her way to Chele, saying, "Hey Sis. I hear you're looking for me." "Jessy." Chele squealed. "Where?" Zac asked shrugging his shoulders and throwing his hands in the air turning to look for her before continuing, "Jessy you have to..." "Ouch. What did I ever do to you?" Jessy screamed as his hand smacked her face with enough force to send her stumbling backwards. "I got you." David said steadying her. "I can't believe I...." Zac started to say turning to her. "Don't hit me again." Jessy screamed putting her hands to her face to protect herself only to be covered in blood. "Jessy you're bleeding." Liv exclaimed. "Sis are you okay?" Chele asked shoving Zac aside, mumbling, "Haven't you done enough?" "Here Jessy. Let's get you cleaned up." David said handing her some napkins before ushering her to the bathroom off his room. "Oh not on my new outfit." Jessy moaned. "Be quiet or we'll never get this bleeding to stop." David complained of her moving. "Jessy be still.'" Chele added as Liv entered the room with and ice pak. "Try laying on the bed, hanging your head over the edge. That always works for my little brother." Liv suggested. "I'll be okay. He didn't hit me that hard." Jessy complained of all the attention. "I still can't believe he hit you." David shared. "Me either. You two sure didn't hit it off well." Liv added. "What a night." Chele sighed. "I just want it to be over." Jessy moaned, adding, "It's giving me a headache." "Let's go. This has spoiled it for me too." Chele suggested. "Me three. Great party except for the Jessy fiasco babe but the three of us are going to split." Liv explained and the three made their way back to the girls' apartment.
