The whole house was excited at the arrival of Jessy's sister, Chele, especially Taylor. "You ready to go Jessy." Taylor asked rapping on her door. "Man Tay we got an hour and Zac said we're only 15 minutes from the airport." Jessy answered her door still in a towel with wet hair. "Jessy come on get a move on." Taylor complained. "Zac? Honey get your brother to back off." Jessy yelled and Zac headed down the hall. "Man Tay, if you're yammering at her how can she get dressed?" Zac asked him. "You dress her then." Taylor said shoving him in the door and closing it quick and holding on. "Taylor let me out. Taylor now." Zac asked. "Hun stop screaming before your folks come to see what's up." Jessy said slipping on a pair of panties on under her towel then turning her back to Zac she dropped her towel an slipped a tank over her head. "Zac hun grab my jeans from the closet, the bells." Jessy asked. "These babe?" Zac asked. "Yeah hun." Jessy answered drying her hair as he returned to her side with her jeans. "What?" she asked trying to figure out the look on his face. "You sure are beautiful Jessy." Zac declared. "Zac so not, but thanks for saying so." Jessy said placing her hand on his face, caressing it, then kissing him tenderly. "Jessy you dressed yet?" Taylor asked. "No I don't have Zac undressed yet but I'm working on it" Jessy yelled back. "What?" Taylor asked opening the door as Zac stepped in front of Jessy blocking her from Taylor's view. "Taylor what do you think you're doing?" Zac growled at him. "Sorry I didn't think." Taylor said backing out of the room. "What?" Zac asked noticing Jessy's smile. "I love you for trying to protect me, even against your own brother Zac." Jessy said stepping into him wrapping her arms around his neck, drawing herself to his lips and kissing him deeply. "I love you Jessy. That means I'll always protect you." Zac said cradling her face in his hands and kissing her tenderly. "I'll take those." Jessy said taking her jeans and sliding them on then sitting on the bed and putting on her shoes. Jessy returned to the mirror putting on a little waterproof mascara and some lip gloss. "Ready babe." Jessy said slipping on her jean jacket and grabbing her purse. They headed out to Taylor's delight and soon were on their way to the airport. The had parked and were on their way to the terminl when a group of four girls approached them. After signing a few autographs they barely made it inside before the next wave of fans headed their way quickly elbowing Jessy out of the way. "Ouch" Jessy said grabbing her side where she'd been elbowed. "Babe you okay. Excuse me, leave your hands off of her." Zac said rushing to her. "Hun I'm okay. I think just somebody's elbow in my rib."Jessy said as she unbuttoned her jacket and lifted her tank checking for bruising. "Babe I'm sorry." Zac said kissing her side. "She okay?" Isaac asked. "Jessy you okay?" Taylor asked. "Yeah she just got elbowed." Zac answered them as he held her in his arms. "Come on her flights arriving." Jessy said pointing at the board. "Taylor you lead the way and I'll walk on the other side of Jessy." Isaac said and they headed to the other side of the terminal. "There she is." Jessy squealed rushing to the gate way, "Sis" she screamed. "Sis" Chele sreamed and the two hugged, screamed, cried and jumped for joy. "Sis here they are, Isaac, Zac and Taylor." Jessy said noticing more fans coming. "Zac." Jessy panicked. "Babe you're okay. I won't let them at you again." Zac said wrapping his arms around Jessy. "Ouch. Not so hard." Jessy said moving his arm. "Let's get her luggage and get out of here." Isaac said and the managed to collect Chele's luggage and load up and head out. The girls talked non stop all the way home and once they were home they included Mom and continued non stop until the phone rang and they were on the road to pick up Veronica. The six returned with pizza for supper and the girls were back at it non stop laughing, cutting up and they didn't even notice when the men left the table. "What time is it? Tired Zoe girl?" Jessy said pulling her to her lap. "Zac?" Jessy called. "Yeah babe?" Zac answered coming from the family room. "Hun can you carry Zoe up for me, so I can get her to bed? How's Mackie holding out?" Jessy asked. "He's fine, watching 'Men In Black' with the guys." Zac said lifting Zoe from her lap and heading up the stairs with Jessy on his heels. They put Zoe to bed and Zac headed directly to the family room without saying another word. "I think Zac's ticked about not getting any attention." Jessy admitted when she returned to the girls. "You should have seen the look Taylor gave me when he came for a bottled water." Chele whispered the imitated the look and Jessy burst into laughter, "That's the look Zac gave me." "Sssh here comes Isaac." Diana said. "So Chele, Jessy said you lived in Tulsa when you were small?" Diana asked as Isaac made his way to the fridge and on his way back gave Veronica the same look. "Okay now if Daddy comes out and gives you that look." Jessy said to Diana and they burst into laughter. "I think someone else is tired." Veronica said reaching for Avie before her head hit the table. "Come on Avie, let's go to bed sweetie." Jessie said getting her up from her chair and helping her up the stairs to her room. As Jessy made it to the stairs, she met Zac carrying Mackie to his bed. "Poor little fella." Jessy said taking off his shoes and pulling his covers back so Zac could put him to bed. "Hun take off his jeans at least." Jessy said. On the way down the stairs, Jessy slowed to see if Zac was still upset and Zac continued on his way. Jessy stopped and sat on the steps, pondering the way she was being treated by Zac and the fans in his life. She rested her head on her knees, as she thought over the jab in the ribs finding it harder and harder to believe it had been accidental. "Babe you okay?" Zac asked. "You came back for me," Jessy started to cry. "Jessy don't cry I'm sorry for acting like a jerk. I was just hurt cuz you were having such a great time just you girls and I was just jealous. Don't cry." Zac said sitting beside her and wrapping an arm around her. "Ouch Zac don't touch my ribs." Jessy complained. "Come here I want to see if you're bruised now." Zac said lifting her to his lap and lifting her shirt. "Wow Jessy, you're turning black and blue. God I'm sorry." Zac explained, adding. "I know let's have a couples slumber party." "Great idea Zac. I got a neat idea. You go back and act like nothings changed. This is our secret okay? You better go before someone see's us." Jessy said and Zac headed to the family room. A few minutes later Jessy returned to the girls explaining Zac was even more annoyed and she had a great idea, to follow her.
