My Neighbor Jessalyn(2)

I slammed the table when I heard that. "He's such a scumbag!"

Jessalyn smiled bitterly. "I thought... this was all just fate. I chose him because I was ignorant when I was young. If I could go back in time, I would not let him approach me. I regret everything, but it's too late."

I was enraged and said, "Jessalyn, it's never too late. You are still young and lovely. I refuse to believe that our present society would allow him to break the law without repercussions. We can still call the cops even if we can't do anything ourselves!"

Jessalyn forced a smile. "It's useless to call the cops. The most they can do is lecture him and then let him go. Chris, there are so many complexities in life that no one understands. You're too young to comprehend."

Although I was young, I could empathize with what happened to Jessalyn. I didn't want to see her lead this kind of life. I wanted to help her and save her!
