Life As We Know It
This Means War
Zacky's POV*
I walked outside with my head hanging low. Since Matt's house was down the street I decided to walk over there. I didn't really know quite how to react right now. I had done absolutely nothing wrong and Nessa was flipping out on me. I'm not even sure why this was about me to begin with. It was that blonde chick's fault hitting on me. I didn't flirt back or lead her on in any way. Why would I want to? Nessa is the girl I want to be with. I went to pull out the ring from my pocket but realized it wasn't in there. Shit! I left it in the bedroom. In my head I began debating whether or not to go grab it. What if she finds it, then it'll ruin the proposal. Ultimately, I came to the decision to go back and get it.
I walked in through the doors and heard Nessa crying loudly along with Jaymee. I entered our bedroom and picked the baby up. She stopped crying as soon as she was in my arms. If only I could make Nessa stop crying too. I went and sat down next to her on the bed. She leaned her head on my free shoulder and just cried.
"I'm so sorry Zack for the way I'm acting." She sobbed.
"It's okay baby. I know you are worried about me being on tour and everything." I told her trying to calm her down.
"I never get like this though. You didn't even do anything wrong. Sure, blondie had that coming to her but I blew up on you and my father. I don't know what came over me." she said as I wiped away her tears with my free hand.
"It happens. You were shocked by your dad's announcement. I'd probably do the same thing if I was in your shoes too. But I understand. Don't worry baby." I said to her. Its not hard to understand why she would flip out. She's a new mom. Constantly worried about if she would end up like her mother or not. It didn't help that her father hasn't really been in the picture since we got back together either. So springing that sort of news on her wasn't right.
"This has been bothering me for a few days though. The stupid nurse flirting with you in the parking lot and then that blonde bimbo who was in my dreams too. How can she say that Jaymee isn't yours? She looks just like you." She cried.
I was taken back a little. This chick was in her dreams before? Maybe she met her before cause I sure as hell have never seen this girl before. Plus, there was ever a doubt in my mind that Jaymee was mine. I know she is. I rubbed Nessa's back trying to keep her calm. Her sobbing slowed down a little but I could see her still shedding some tears.
"Babe, nothing is going to happen, okay? I'm all yours. You know if I had the choice I would stay here with you and the baby but this is something I have to do. Right now were just working on the album babe. So I'm still here. And that girl? She's not even worth the trouble" I said giving her a smile. She smiled back.
"I know. I'm just overreacting. Thats what we girls do you know. I'm okay though." She laughed lightly.
I pulled her into a hug before I got up so I could feed the baby. Even though she said she's okay, I know that she is still worried. She was jealous. It was fucking cute except she blew up on everyone in the house. I walked into the kitchen and began making Jaymee's bottle as she was in my arms making baby noises. I was getting ahold of this daddy thing. It still scared the shit out of me but this was my little princess. While I was doing this, I could hear Nessa in the background calling her dad. Hopefully, they work things out. I know she misses him.
Vanessa's POV*
"Hey dad. Listen I'm sorry for freaking out earlier but that girl was hitting on Zacky. What did you expect and then to turn around and tell me she's going to be my sister? This is the first time I've even really met your girlfriend who just so happens to be your fiancee with a 21 year old daughter. That's not the kind of news you spring on a daughter that you abandoned, at this rate you are no better than mom." I said automatically regretting the last part. My dad was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry kid. I know it's alot to take on and I shouldn't have left you alone when you needed me but I couldn't sit there and watch you go through the pain-" I cut him off.
"So instead you leave? No phone calls. No, 'hows the pregnancy?' Nothing. You didn't even notice I had left until a few days later. What the fuck dad? I needed you. You think I wanted to be going through the pain by myself? I had no idea what to do. I was miserable and you left me there. Just like mom did." I said, again regretting bringing my mom into this but it was true. When I needed a mom she was gone. When I needed a dad he was gone too. "You weren't even there for the birth of your grand daughter. You had no clue what was going on with me at all. You used to be there for me through everything." I said beginning to cry. Zacky came in when he heard me start crying and sat next to me as he fed Jaymee. Could this day get any worse?
"I don't know what to say..." My dad replied.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. You won't anyways. I called to apologise to you but clearly that was a bad idea." I said as I hung up the phone.
Zacky held me in his free arm and I just cried onto his shoulder. I didn't even deserve his attention right now but he's giving it to me. I don't even know why I was so worked up. I know Zacky won't hurt me. He hasn't even finished the album yet or set tour dates. And as for my dad, I mean he's just living his own life now. He has every right to. I moved away and he's been all alone since. I guess I should probably patch things up with him but right now was just not the time. I was just worked up. I seriously need to keep my cool here. My phone started ringing I checked to see who it was but it wasn't a number I was familiar with. So I answered it.
"Hello?" I said.
"Listen, I don't want to be your sister. I want nothing to do with you honestly. And your 'Baby Daddy,' come on I wasn't born yesterday. You probably guilted him into staying with you by getting pregnant. Besides that point you ruined my mother's day. I'm sorry you don't have a mom so you would never understand what its like to watch your mother cry her eyes out cause she feels she isn't good enough to impress a spoiled bitch like you. So fix the problem or we're going to have a bigger one." The girl said and then hung up. I'm assuming it was Mandy.
"This Bitch!" I yelled. "She just called me talking shit to me and she even brought you up again. I swear if I wasn't a mother I would lay a bitch out on the street." I said as Jaymee began to cry. I swear one more thing and I will go knock her out. She's on my last nerve and I just met her. But you don't hit on my boyfriend in my house and you don't talk shit about my family either. This means war.
