I listen to the phone ring again. She was supposed to be home after school. Usually, when she goes out with friends, she calls to let me know. Usually, she’s home around now for dinner. This is a time of the unusual.
But I can’t help but feel relief when she answers on the third ring. “Jess?”
“Hi, mom.”
“Jess, where are you? I’ve been waiting to hear from you all afternoon.”
“Umm”
Great, she’s stalling. “Jess?”
“I’d, uh, rather not say where I am.”
Excuse me? There’s an easy way to fix that. “Then you come home now.”
“I’m kind of busy, mom.”
Busy? “Then I need to know where you are.” Relax. Don’t scare her. “I need to know that you’re okay, honey.”
“I’m fine, mom.”
“Jess, it’s getting late.”
I await a reply. “And you have school tomorrow.”
“It’s just the last day. It’s not even a full day.”
Does this portend a bad summer?
Deep breath. “Jess, I get worried when you’re out late by yourself. We’ve talked about this.”
“I’m okay.”
“Please, honey, I’d feel a lot better when I know you’re home and safe.”
“I’m fine, mom.”
Famous last words from a teen.
“I’m, you know, with someone.”
My stomach drops. She’s with that boy. “Jess, sweetie, whatever’s going on, please come home. We’ll talk.”
“Mom?”
“I know you have certain feelings for Luis, but please, let’s talk about this first.”
Silence. But she hasn’t hung up.
“Geez mom!”
“Please, sweetie, come home now?”
“Mom, I’m fine. I’ll be home later.”
“Jess?”
Silence. This time she has hung up.
Jess.
I quickly call back to her number. She’s not answering. I didn’t think she would.
But maybe I can attack this from another front. Somewhere in the junk drawer, on one of these scraps of paper. Here. The one with Luis’s home number on it. I quickly place another call.
“Hello?”
It’s Luis. I’m glad, since I’m blanking on his mother’s name although I know we’ve met a couple times. “Luis?” I feel a sense of relief to get him on the phone.
“Yes.”
“Hi, This is Tina Kennard, Jess’s mother.”
“Hi, Mrs. Kennard.”
The kid sounds nervous. “Um, Luis, is Jess there?”
“No. She said she had to meet someone after school.”
Great. I knew this was too easy. “Did she say where? Who?”
“Not really.”
Which could mean anything from he knows it all to she really didn’t tell him. Knowing Jess, it’s probably the latter. “Thanks, Luis.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, can you do a favor for me?”
“I guess.”
“If you hear from Jess, please have her call me.” It’s worth a shot.
“Uh, okay.”
“Thanks. Good-bye.”
Okay, Jess, what are you putting me through now?

can you spell CLIFF HANGER????!!!!! Great work as usual P – thanks
Lol, when did Luis turn into ‘That Boy’, I thought she liked him enough to make him cookies. Paranoia strikes. Seriously, Tina must realise who Jess is with since she knows Bette’s back in town. Well done on her not going mental because Jess hung up and not mobilisng the Auntie Army on a mission to find her wayward teenager.
You know, I’d be really upset if I were Tina! It seems like these two are teaming up against her :-) Please don’t keep us hanging too long Pseud!!
The possibilites are endless! Maybe Bette- Maybe Not. Love this story and the frequent updates. Keep them coming.
Ok, Hold up a sec. I know I couldn’t talk to my mom that way! IF she said jump, it was up for me to ask,’how hi?’. Saying I’ll be home later and then hanging up? Jess is getting ahead of herself….she needs to recall who’s the parent, even if Tina is having some trouble with the puberty thinG she’s a gosh dang good parent! Jess needs to learn some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Thank goodness Jess wasn’t with Luis! My vote is for Bette. I guess. Maybe she’s investigating the joys of her friend’s teenaged parenthood – a cautionary tale and buzz kill, to be sure! Thanks! and happy holidays! And everyone, keep viewing 3 pages a day and join me in contributing through Paypal. Help keep the site going! I want to read about Bette’s return, don’t you! Cheers!
oh shit..she is with bette and tina is going to be pissed! Oh the drama. albeez..i am heading out into this foofy snow and I can’t find you anywhere. Pseud..you are wonderful..please give us more..soon
I’m assuming that Bette is back and she’s with her….or maybe Auntie Shane or Alice…? Wherever she is, I hope all is well…
Jess must be with Bette since she did not want to tell her mother where she was and she was not with Luis. OMG, Porter is in so much trouble already with Tina and with this added, oh well, she is a grownup. But these women must start to talk with each other. Thanks for the post.
Ohh pleeease make these 3 talk, this is killing me
I’m putting my money on Bette…or shane….or alice. It’s one of ’em right? You love to sting us don’t you, looking forward to the answer!!
tina do you think i foofing care what jess is putting you through??? you really need to pull the head out now. fergz – please be careful in the foofing snow. k? pseud – hmmm. getting on my last nerve with tina being such an ass baby. love how you are writing this. even if your pissing me off with how i think me as a mom would behave. *wink* thanks.
Please don’t keep us hanging too soon. Tina isn’t the only one who wants to know what’s going on.Thanks!
so did you skip another chapter and is it one that involves and airflight to NYC ??? you are awesome and also driving me nuts with your slow motion getting to the next T& B encounter – you know the one where Tina admits she’s wrong.
I’m kinda with mc on this. Did Bette finally return Jess’ call and told her about Tina throwing Bette out of the house? Did Bette fly Jess out to NYC? Or maybe Bette is back in LA? As someone else said, the possiblities are just endless. Please post again soon, p. Is Chapter 91 coming soon or do we have to wait a few more chapters?
This is a mystery.I can hear Building A Mystery in the background.I hope she is with Bette.
Where the hell is she, is she go to see Bette again. Please post soon, thanks!
I love that you comment in your comments! It’s like getting an autograph of the actors outside the theater door! Anyway, I love the twist, I hope that Jess is with Bette and that infact, Bette has finally gotten her new phone and has returned to LA where she has met up with Jess somewhere and will soon be heading to her real home…with Tina, who seemingly has lost her mind in the last couple of chapters, but that is ok…everyone has trasgretions every now and again. Soon all will be right (although not too soon, I don’t want this story to end…) Thanks for the frequent postings!!! I get so excited when I see a Plan B story…hoping the next chapter is a Bette chapter!
I hope Bette is back from NYC and is the one talking to Jess. I am so hooked to your story. Post soon.
I guess she’s with Bette. And going to talk to a doctor? Keep posting – I’ll keep reading.
im totally lost..is she with Bette? how? when? why?..lol..Bette came back? they need to talk really need to talk…they are hurting each other and losing control..cant wait for more Pseud thanks :o)
Ha, it must be Bette whom Jess’s with! I’d love to see that. Tee must know that in her subconscious.Dear Pseud, I have to say — did you hide another chapter from us again? ;)
Hide? Hmm. Well, I think it’s safe to say that any actions I may, or may not, have taken are in my own — I mean — your own best interests.
She’s with Bette, or trying to find Bette…but isn’t Bette still in NYC?? oh…..don’t delay pls let up know…tks
Popping up in your own comments section huh? That was a treat! Hey, she has to be with Bette right? Good thing to get them together and have Bette doing the right thing. However, if she is with Bette I sure hope Bette’s learned her lesson and calls T to tell her so before Tina worries!
So, pseud, does this mean if we leave more chatty comments…that you’ll keep appearing in the comment section as well? Then we can all throw popcorn at the screen, I mean story, ah – nevermind…I figure you have to write again soon because now we’re all confused. I say she’s with a woman. Any takers?
pseud, excellent writing and a great way to keep your audience guessing. are your authored book s the same way? :)
Nice development of more Jess mischief, which I hope lands her chasing after Bette, since her (biological) mother won’t. Anyway, why are most of your chapters only one page long? Just thought I’d ask.
oh, i see, we are reading this story like a puzzle, some chapters are ahead to bring more mystery and then after we’ll sweating and cursing and breaking our heart, we get a “missing chapter” that explains everything, but we’re still sweating, and cursing and breaking hearts because B&T are still way from each other….i think Bette came home, met up with Jess and they are trying to figure out how to fix things with Tina…i hope…please get B&T back together, they were doing so good
I do enjoy it when you make me ponder the possibilities…
thanks for the great chappy psued! wonderful writing as always :) thanks for posting so soon too! your story is one of very few that I check on a couple of times a day to see if you posted. you’ve got me, and by the looks of it many others, wanting more and more. we can’t get enough of ur writing. Hmmm I wonder where jess is. My guess would be with Bette, but that’s just too easy. maybe she’s with alice. or that other boy that she liked. hmmm, lots of still unanswered questions. and btw, when I saw your title, I was hoping that Tina was calling Bette and hanging up on her. oh well. I hope in time. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
This is so much fun. I say she is with Bette, at least that’s where I hope she is.
