The room was silent but very bright as though they expected the light would stop the monsters from getting to them. Jessie and Jason sat opposite each other sipping coffee, neither of them bold enough to go back to sleep.
"How did you even hear me?" Jason asked as they sat in silence. Jessie looked at him from over her raised mug.
She sighed "I was awake."
"Why? It's pretty late."
"Well I had a nightmare as well... do you want to talk about it?" She asked.
Jason paused first before answering, shaking his head he refused. "I don't want to think about it right now, you tell me yours. What was your nightmare like?"
Jessie looked down at her coffee, sighing "it was almost theatrical. I was in this ugly drab woolen dress, with britches. I'm don't even know why I didn't call it pants, britches just sounded more natural. They was this crowd of angry people with pitch forks and torches throwing eggs at me. And I was wearing this pointy hat, like comical witches. It was a witch hunt and I was the witch. But that wasn't what sacred me the most, when they bound me up to burn you were there, all of you were. They bound Katherine and Paul and... you." She paused looking up at him. She reached out and placed her hand on his, "Jason... tell me, I'm I dragging you down with me?"
"Is protecting me putting you in any form of dismerit or danger?"
"Jessie." He said softly but she kept going.
"Because you said the cops went to your manor and even earlier with Katherine the cops were after her for no reason. Was Paul right? I'm... am I a bomb?" She asked softly.
Jason reached over the table and cupped her face. "I don't care about what happens to me, as far as you're safe."
She shook her head. "No, I can't... I can't have you guys getting hurt because of me. It was already too scary today, I can't have you guys or anyone else for that matter go through this."
"And that makes it okay for you to go through it alone?" He said with slight annoyance in his voice.
"Still... this is a fight between Patricia and I."
"Look Patricia isn't only your enemy, she's mine as well." He stated but she wasn't buying it either way. He sighed grabbing both her hands. "Think of it like I'm using you to take her down. Okay?"
"Jason" she breathed out.
"Please Jess, let me do this... hmm?"
She nodded leaning into his caress. "Fine... I can deal with it that way."
The room fell into silence again as they both stared into each other's eyes. "It's pretty late." Jason whispered after a while.
"Hmm." Jessie replied. "You should go to sleep."
"I'm not sleepy. You go to sleep."
"I'm not sleepy either...."
"Jason? Are you really okay?" She asked again after some silent moments passed.
"I'm glad you're hear, it's okay since you're here. I'm okay." She reached to him and pushed his hair away from his forehead and eyes.
"I'm always here, if you want to talk. I'm a pretty good listener" she smiled. "Please don't suffer on your own." She implored him. "Promise me."
He hesitated but answered anyway. "... I promise, thank you."
"Uhm.. hm" she shook her head. "Thank you."

"What do you mean? What are you planning to do?" Jamie asked sitting up straight in his seat.
"What do you think? I'm going to get back at her." She huffed.
Jamie stared at her intently before sighing, "I heard what you were up to while I was gone, parading the city causing havoc with Patricia Lee. Now you want to against her?"
"You heard? How?"
"Does that really matter?" He asked.
"Yes. Did you really just hear or did you find out yourself because you were concerned about me?" She asked, knowing that Jamie would not lie to her, he never did.
"I heard. Patricia's secretary informed, she said she was concerned about you and the decisions you were making."
Lenora's brows furrowed as her heart broke all over again. "Yet you did nothing?"
Jamie gave her a pointed look and said nothing. "I told you not to look for me." He stated after a moment.
Lenora slammed her palm on the table as tears began to fall down her cheeks. "Is that really all you have to say? After you left me so cold that night, even if you wanted to leave couldn't you have told me face to face?"
Jamie shut his eyes and took a deep breath opening them he gave her a blank look. "What's the point? Regardless the message was clear."
"Why are you being so cold to me?"
"Because Lenora... I need you to stay away from me just... leave me alone." He pleaded.
She shook her head. "Not until you tell me why?"
Jamie huffed in annoyance. "Are you dumb? Tch... a breakup only requires one person to say they are no longer interested. I didn't expect you to be so clingy. It's pretty pathetic don't you think?"
The crack of her palm meeting his cheek sounded loudly in the room. She was already sobbing as her palm came in contact with his cheek. "Say whatever you will, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to punish all the people that did this to you and I don't care what you say. I know you love me, that's all I need."
Jamie rolled his eyes and leaned forward looking at her with an intense glare. "What do you know? Why do you insist on deceiving yourself like this? I love you? Tch" he scoffed. "Don't kid yourself, you only want to believe that no one can ever not love you, after all you're the great Lenora Han aren't you? But comeback to reality Lenora, I don't love you, maybe I did but not anymore. So please, " he clapped his hands together "leave me be."
"..."
"Hey! This visit is over!" Jamie yelled as the cop walked in and lead a dumbfounded Lenora out of the room.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
