One Life To Live: Split Reflections

What a week!

January 18, 2008

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. This week has been insane. I went down to Texas with Natalie to see Mom. The place she has been working at these last few months--the Bon Jour cafe--is really cute but so...not Mom. It reminded me of the diner Roseanne used to work at on her TV show. Despite how weird the whole situation is, I don't know if I've seen Mom smile as much in years. When she talks about the Bon Jour and the people there, she just lights up. I could tell it was hard for her to say goodbye, but she just seems more...at peace somehow. I know she met a guy down there, and I know he has something to do with it. Mom's being so tight lipped--she's not spilling anything! 

Texas was a nice escape for me, too. Nash and I really got into it earlier this week. Why is he freaking out so much about me pretending to be Tess?  It's not that big a deal--I'm integrated, and I've got the Jared situation out of control. Tess=Jared being busted. I just don't get why he doesn't see it.

I might not have to do any work, though. Uncle Bo showed up at the BE board meeting today with Pamela Stuart, Grandpa's fifth wife (I think...maybe she was the sixth. Wait, was Renee his sixth?). Anyway, Pamela claims that she knows for a fact that Jared's mom never had a son with Grandpa!

Uh-Oh

Mom is going to be okay. Thank God. Natalie and I talked to her and she's fine. She's with Todd and supporting him through this whole Marcie ordeal. Apparently she's now got Michael as her hostage in the diner. I have no idea what Marcie's state of mind is, but I'm glad Michael's there for her. I just hope this ends soon, Mom comes home, and Todd gets his son.

I've got bigger problems, though. Jared caught me with Bree. I was in full mommy mode--in other words, so NOT Tess--and he busted me. I tried to cover, but he demanded proof. The jerk then went and kissed me!

Waiting

I am so, so scared. Mom's being held hostage by Marcie down in Texas. The only information we have is from the news, and they keep talking about Mom being a waitress.  It makes no sense. Why would she be working in a diner? I know how desperate Marcie must be--I can't imagine someone taking Bree away from me--but would she really hurt Mom? I want to go down there, but I'm scared to be away from the television for even a second.

Mom?!?!

I'm freaking out right now.  We just heard on the news that they found Marcie and Todd's son, but Marcie's locked herself in a diner--with Mom as a hostage.  How did she get down there? Was she with Marcie? What's going on?  I'm so scared.  Today I got into a big fight with Nash about my Jared plan. I was so angry at him for presuming to tell me what to do, and acting like Tess was this big bad creature. I mean, she's part of me. But it all seems to petty now. If anything happens to Mom...I can't go there. I won't.

A 2008 resolution

January 4, 2008

I can't believe it's 2008!

Unfortunately, the new year turned unpleasant thanks to Jared. He came over today with a big proposal to sell the vineyard to BE so it can make more money. Nash was against it. He's put his heart and soul into this place. Jared, being the jerk he is, pulled out the "I have 51% ownership" card and threatened to take it to the BE board. As much as it made me want to smack him, I realized it was my way in. So after Nash left I put on my best Tess and told Jared I'd help him.

I know Nash would freak if he knew what I was doing. I don't like lying to him, but this is for all our benefit--especially Natalie. Jared's got an agenda and the sooner I break him--or rather, Tess breaks him--the sooner I get the ammo I need.  I'm going to make this happen: Jared needs to be out of our lives for good.

However, pretend to be Tess to Jared and say it's a good idea...key opportunity.
