Jessica 1.9

"Jessica?" Mariah asked when she answered her phone. "Why'd you lie to me about my father, why'd you say that he was alive when he actually died when I was born?" Jessica asked, "You misunderstood me, the man I told you about, isn't your father, he was a father figure to you." Mariah replied, "How could he be a father figure to me, if I was adopted when I was born," Jessica asked, "Alright, I lied, he wasn't a father figure to you, he didn't even know you, I just told you that he was your father, because to be, honest I don't know anything about your father, he disappeared, he left us, I know his name, but that's all," Mariah replied, "Why didn't you just give me his name in the first place, why'd you give me a name of some other guy?" Jessica asked, "Look, Jessica I don't think it's a good idea that you go and talk to your biological father, you see, he's married now and he's got a life of his own now." Mariah replied, "I don't care, I want to see my biological father, does he even know about me, does he have an idea that I even exist?" Jessica asked, "That's another reason, why I don't think that you should go see him, he doesn't know about you, he had no idea that I was pregnant, when he left." Mariah replied, "Well, in that case, he and his family are going to be in for a surprise, when I show up at their front door, now what's his name, his full name?" Jessica asked, "No, I'm not going to tell you his name, he doesn't care about you, he's got a family of his own now, you should keep your focus on your adoptive family, they're the ones who've taken care of you for the past fifteen years." Mariah replied, "I want to see my father, I deserve to see my father." Jessica insisted, "Fine, your not going to let this go, are you?" Mariah asked, "No, I'm not going to let it go." Jessica replied, "His name is Roger Stevens." Mariah replied.
