Jess Sims Quotes Novels & Stories

“Will I even make the squad? It’s only the first month and I already feel like I’m falling behind.” Jess cupped my face, lifting my chin so I had no choice but to meet her eyes. “Hey. You are stronger than you think. I’ve watched you push through things that would break most people. You’re the most resilient person I know.” Her voice softened with sincerity. “Don’t give up on yourself now.” We walked back to the dormitory in silence, her words lingering like a small shield against the doubt gnawing at my chest.

"I’ll never be afraid of you. Not if you come at me with a knife and not if you yell the ‘F’ word at the top of your lungs. I love you. I’m on your mind. You’d never hurt me, not for any reason. So get over your bad mood." He glared at Jessa again. "Has anyone ever told you that you’re not the most soothing woman in the world?" "The idea isn’t to be soothing," Jessa said, "it’s to knock some sense into your incredibly thick skull." They stared at each other, and Jayson breathed heavily. He shook his head, looking away first. "Damn you, Jessa. You don’t seem to have one ounce of self-preservation left in you. Do you think this won’t happen again? It happens regularly.

You might wonder why it surprised me, I wasn't surprised that she woke up to reply to my texts, though Jessica loves her sleep and hardly sacrifices her sleep for anything. I wasn't surprised that she suddenly became wise and sent me a quote, she is a simple girl that can't even remember the simplest quote like cleanliness is second to godliness

"Let it. The simplification isn't you." I looked at her. "When did you become wise?" I said. "I've always been wise," she said. "You've just been too distracted to notice." Simon made a sound beside me that was closer to a genuine laugh than I had ever heard from him in daylight. Tessa looked at him with mild surprise. Then satisfaction. "Good," she said. "You should do that more." "Do what?" he said. "Look like a person," she said. "Rather than a press release."

Jess looked up, her eyebrow raised in curiosity as I continued, “But there’s no way I’m going back there.” She snickered and closed her book, placing it down beside her. “Want me to get it for you?” she offered.

Every reporter in the room is scrambling to get a glimpse of me, trying to snap the perfect picture. My sister has always craved attention, and nothing infuriates her more than seeing me steal the spotlight. “Well, I’m back, Jess,” I say with a steady voice as I lock gaze with her. “Think of me as a phoenix—reborn, thanks to no one but myself. No matter how well you dress up, you’ll always be second best. And I’ll always come out on top.”

she said softly, her voice all honey and grace. The whispers around us grew admiring. “Such a kind heart.” “A billion dollars, wow. The Summers family truly has a heart.” “Miss Summers is truly selfless.” Jess leaned toward me, rolling her eyes. “Selfless, my foot. She’s eating this up.” Jessica pressed a hand to her chest, feigning surprise. “Oh, I… I don’t want any attention. Let’s just say… the children deserve it more.” The crowd erupted in admiration.

I smiled softly and Jess walked up to me and took my hand gingerly in hers, using the other one to secure it in place "Whether or not your name is Lila or Rayne. You are still the same strong willed and intelligent woman who singlehandedly built this company from scratch so you should raise your head up high because this is your life and your game and we're not supposed to understand why you decide to play your game how you want to play it because we can never truly experience what you have experienced so shake it off boss and let's get to work because we have a lot of it to do" Her little pep talk almost brought tears to my eyes.

Jess found them a spot near the front, pushing through like it was nothing. “How do you do that?” Maya asked as they settled on the grass. “Do what?” “Move through people like they’re not there.” Jess shrugged. “I pretend we’re all in a crowded mall and everyone’s trying to sell me something I don’t want. Gives me the right energy.” “That’s actually smart.” “I know. Full of wisdom.” Jess tilted her face toward the sun. “You should write my biography someday. ‘Jessica Harper: A Legacy of Occasional Genius.’”

she said with an evil grin, taking the key. Zephyra cringed and glared at the witch. She would kill her! “Okay, I’m kind of lost,” Ethan said, rubbing the back of his head. Zephyra watched Jess climb into the jeep, and merge with the evening traffic. Instead of explaining what Jess meant she said, “It’s okay. Most people feel like that after talking with Jess. She doesn’t actually take the time to make sure what she is saying makes coherent sense before she says it. Anyway, I’m ready when you are.”
