Chapter 246: 246. I'm Done Apologising.

Jessie indeed was in the shower although it wasn't certain as to weather she would have opened the door if she did hear his pleas. And to top it off she got up to a red toilet when she got up. Literal tears fell out of her eyes in frustration. 

But a little relief as well, at least if she was overreacting then she could just blame it on her hormones.

As she stepped out of her bathroom she frowned at her wardrobe as she wondered what to use? A pad or tampon? 

"Tampon." She mumbled grabbing it immediately, too angry, irritated and overwhelmed to take her time with her normal skincare routine she wore some shorts and a big hoodie. Jason's big hoodie, sue her, she still drew comfort from the idiot's scent. 

Still wrapped up in his comforting smell her phone buzzed in her pocket, just as she was walking to the elevator to go down. If she could frown deeper than what she already did she would have as she pulled out the phone and read the caller ID.

Swiping left she put the phone back in her pocket. Almost immediately it buzzed again, and without looking she declined it and turned off her phone. All probably wrong decisions but at this point she couldn't care less. Like a cancer patient smoking, she was headed to the kitchen to get a fat tub of ice cream. A definite bad decision, but she always craved the sweetness of the dessert. She felt nothing but bitter in her period, so she tried to fill that space up with sweets. It wasn't always but she was an emotional wreck. And it was either this or crying... so.

After a while, half a movie and the second tub of icecream Agnes walked into the theater room.

"Miss Marin?" She said quietly. 

Jessie groaned, sitting up slightly with the spoon hanging upside down in her mouth. "What?" She asked in a muffled voice.

"There are guests here for you." She said.

Her eyes narrowed in question. "Guests?"

"It's actually Tony, but he's with two other people. Were you expecting them? You didn't inform us." She explained. 

Jessie shook her head, "I wasn't- tell him I'll be down shortly." She stated. Closing the tub of ice cream and placing the spoon down. As she exited the theater she headed to the sitting room, well one of them anyway. As she walked down she stopped at one of the water faucets decorating the sides of the wall to wash down her face.

Tony's was the first face she saw as she walked into the room, "Tony? You didn't call." She accused. 

"But I did, your phone is off and for some reason you cut off my first call?" He retorted. 

And she shut her eyes in realization, it must have been Tony's call she rejected the second time around. Stupid Jason! She cursed inwardly, blaming him for even this.

"Did you forget to charge your phone again?" He asked.

"No... it's my fault, I'm sorry. Agnes said you came with other people?" She asked.

"Yes, yes. You have met... detective Anderson and Reporter Hastings." He introduced. 

For the first time since she walked into the room she noticed the guests. But as her gaze fell on Lenora she noticed more than a face. 'Reporter Hastings, Lenora Hastings?' She thought to herself.

Suddenly it all came back, the first time she experienced eggs.

Actress Jessie Marin involved in a scandal with Actor Hyun Jin, a happily married man with two kids. 

Was Actress Jessie Marin involved in the divorce between Actor Hyun Jin and his wife?

Before she could stop herself, not that she wanted to she walked over to Jamie and Lenora and to everyone surprise she landed a perfectly tight slap on the reporter's cheek. The sound slicing through the room with a thunderous effect due to the pin drop silence that hung so thickly in the air.

Lenora hair whipped to the side of her face, covering what she was sure was a brusing cheek. But she apart from Jessie she was the only one not in shock at the actress' actions. She knew why she was getting slapped, infact she was sure she would get similar reactions if she met other celebrities. But the reactions she repeated would be similar, she didn't expect to be slapped, at all.

After the initial shock, Jamie pulled Lenora behind him proactively, sending a warning glare down at Jessie. Jessie who ignored his gaze and focused her attentions behind him.

"Jessie!" Tony exclaimed in shock. 

"You have some nerve showing up in front of me." She spat at the woman nursing her cheek behind the very fit and towering man.

Lenora head snapped up and she sent back Jessie deadly glare in good measure. "Don't you think you're overreacting!" She huffed in annoyance. "What a bitch!" She mumbled under her breath. 

"Overreacting?! How dare you! People like you don't deserve normal reactions, you should be in jail for what you did." She spat.

"Why don't you sue me then?" Lenora asked. "Oh I forgot you have no money for the legal bills." She shot back, hurting her deliberately because of her smarting cheek. She really did not expect it to hurt this much.

How Jessie managed to do it with a six foot man standing in between them remained a mystery but once again the room was shaken with another thunderous sound.

"Are you mad?!" Lenora screamed as she grabbed her other cheek.

"Yes! Yes I'm mad! Because of people like you look at what my life has become!" She screamed. "Do you know how close I came to losing everything with that careless article you published?!" 

"But the again you didn't. Look it's nothing personal but you more than anyone should know how this industry works." Lenora huffed.

"Nothing personal?!" She scoffed, shaking her head. "I guess talking to you is pointless. But then again not everyone has a conscience." Looking up at Jamie. "I wonder how such a kind hearted man ended up with trash like her." 

A blow to Lenora this time. She stepped back behind Jamie, and clutched his shirt to steady her trembling hand. In honest truth she had dreaded coming here, but she assumed with what the actress was going through the last scandal would be ancient history. She was sorry for what she did but she didn't quite have a choice. She never meant to publish that article, she made a thoughtless suggestion and she was forced to twist and manipulate lies. The actress was caught in the cross fire of one of the most high profile divorce cases in the country at the time.

She felt bad, she felt apologetic but just because she felt that way didn't mean she was suddenly angel enough to apologise to the person that just slapped her, twice!

"Jessie!" Tony called out again. "Stop!" He yelled going to hold her back. "Why are you acting like this?"

"Like what?! What I'm I supposed to apologise? I always apologise, apologise to the people that spread lies about me. Apologise to the assholes that throw eggs at me, apologise to people like her tha write deliberate lies just to get views at the expense of my own life!" She yelled. "Well guess what I don't have to that anymore, the only pro to becoming a nobody is that I can finally fight for the justice I deserve. Just because I'm a celebrity doesn't make me a target, this is my life for goodness sake!" 

"Fine! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong, I shouldn't have written that article about you. It was irresponsible, wicked and wrong. You have ever right to lash out like this." Lenora said. "I'm sorry, that was a time in my life I was not proud about. I'm sorry." She apologised again.

Jessie calmed as she glared at her. 

"Miss Marin?" Jamie started but she nodded.

"That felt nice." She said, fixing her hoodie. "I'll tell them to bring in refreshments." She stated walking out of the room.

Leaving them with the most confused expressions on their faces. "I don't understand what just happened?" Lenora stated. "This feels like she's going through something and I was the punching bag."

"No... she's never been apologised to, celebrities they always have to do the apologising. She doesn't even realise she can remain mad, or angry at you. Just those words... I'm sorry, must mean so much to her." Jamie stated honestly. 

Tony looked in the direction she left through and sighed heavily.

"Wow, I never realized." Lenora said softly. 

Jamie brows furrowed. "Then why did you apologise?"

Lenora looked him straight in the eye, keeping a perfectly straight face as she said the words as if she was reciting it. "She was hysterical, I thought if I said sorry she would stop yelling so much." 

Both men looked at her with expressions of pure shock on their faces. 

"You definitely deserved to get slapped."
