    It is a rare moment when Jesse can relax and do things like normal kids do… like chillin’ on the swings or buying an ice cream cone in the heat of the summer.  This she buys with the little pocket change she’s managed to amass here and there. It’s not much, but it affords her…

    Jesse becomes a fixture at the Wycliffe house.  Most the time, it’s a lot of fun.  They goof off, play video games and have pillow fights.  Sometimes they gossip about Xando’s older sisters and their boyfriends and school dramas.  Jesse is light-hearted about it until Xando asks about her family.  It is an innocent enough…

    This is Xando Wycliffe.  Xando is a little wild looking, but he’s also pretty much the only friend Jesse has in school.  He’s also pretty rich, and lives in a big house on top of the hill.  It’s a far cry from the empty plot of land behind the abandoned church where Jesse has been…

    As the days stretched on and Derrick still did not return, the inevitable happened.  Jesse’s presence was discovered by some “upstanding citizen” and the police were alerted to the vagrant hanging out near the church.  She ran… and the first time it happened, she managed to make it “home” to safety.  But on the next…

    But as the days passed, and Derrick did not return to the dingy little abandoned corner of the world where he had left his sister, Jesse began to worry. She was tired of living on the streets.  By now, Derrick would have had a job and brought her to some pathetic little two-bedroom trailer where…

    At first, Jesse did not know anything was amiss.  Derrick often went away for days at a time when he was scouting for work or for a place for them to crash.  Her part in this life of theirs was to stay out of trouble, keep a low profile, and go to school whenever possible. …

    And this is Derrick, the best big brother in the world, who took his frightened little sister and did everything he could to keep her safe from the unknown “they” who were coming to hurt them.  At each new town they move to, Derrick has tried to do two things 1) get  job to support…

    This is Jesse.  I created her for a Rags to Riches challenge.  I’m not really blogging it, though, yet.  Her back story is this:  Her father was heavily involved in the local mafia and her mother was a cocktail waitress who worked in his Boss’s club.  They weren’t married and kept the relationship and kids…
