"I was thinking if we are square now that we are both working for your sister....Simon trailed off.

-no we don't, I should go Simon I'm having a bad day" She walked out of him.

"Your sister doesn't have to tell you what to do, you make your own decisions," Simon said after her, Jess paused on her track and then turned over to him.

"This has nothing to do with Mary, you lied to me Simon, and we weren't together it was just a fling so get used to it" she said to him and left for good this time. While he stood at his position watching her leave Jessica didn't turn around.

On their way home neither Mary nor Jessica said a word, about the snacks in the car Mary just kept eating them as she drove because she was starving from the cannabis they shared.

Jess hate to be away from their mom but is still the same thing away in Kenya for a month that wasn't promising as well it could be more than that and she was freaking out about it.

They sat Mom down without informing her about the truth that her favourite daughter is on the list wanted by federal prosecutors, there is a possibility Jess will not be graduating high school this year, and the recommendations she worked so hard to get are thrown in flames.

She won't be able to handle all of these so they lie they are rent a place for themselves because of their new business as partners.,

"Jess can stay here, here is closer to school and work" she said serving them both tea they looked like they had been having a rough day.

"Mom I'm a partner in this business I have to help Mary, I will visit you for sure," Jess said sipping her coffee, it was hot and softening her nerves.

"Is it that important to abandon your mother, Mary this is not fair she has few months left to study...is it about my attitude the smoking habit Come on." she was feeling sad, Mary being away is unacceptable and kind of hard to let go.

"Mom we have decided this please understand" Jess said, is hard for everyone but they have to do what they have to do in times like this.

"This is all Mary's fault I knew she would influence you into her dirty work" Mom said angrily.

"Hey! Watch your tone Mom" Mary warned her mom she didn't say anything further but smirked instead.

"What type of business Jess?" She asked after a dead glare at Mary, she blamed Mary for everything and it only took one second for her to start talking about how disappointed she was in her.

"We are opening up a club in the city, there is a lot of work and we can't afford to work from home so we paid for an apartment nearby... mom it was a hard decision to make we love you Mom and we are not abandoning you please understand" jess convinced their mom.
