Bab 209: 209. I don't need to hide anymore.

Jessie got dressed in a big hoodie and a simple pair of black jeans and sneakers. She couldn't get her self to even feel the slightest bit of comfort or happiness as she walked down the stairs, choosing that over the elevator to stall the party. She couldn't feel all this things but like hell she would let any one know, she never shyed away from a crowd before and she wasn't going to start now. 

So taking in a deep breath and putting on a beautiful smile she walked into the room. If anyone could pretend it was her, she did this for a living.

"There she is!" Paul cheered raising his glass to her as she walked out from around the corner.

"Tony?" 

"Hey kid." He smiled at her as he pulled her into a tight hug. "How are you doing?"

"I'm surviving just fine. How are the girls? And Kara? I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused." She said honestly. "I'm ashamed to even face you."
