Jessie got dressed in a big hoodie and a simple pair of black jeans and sneakers. She couldn't get her self to even feel the slightest bit of comfort or happiness as she walked down the stairs, choosing that over the elevator to stall the party. She couldn't feel all this things but like hell she would let any one know, she never shyed away from a crowd before and she wasn't going to start now.
So taking in a deep breath and putting on a beautiful smile she walked into the room. If anyone could pretend it was her, she did this for a living.
"There she is!" Paul cheered raising his glass to her as she walked out from around the corner.
"Tony?"
"Hey kid." He smiled at her as he pulled her into a tight hug. "How are you doing?"
"I'm surviving just fine. How are the girls? And Kara? I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused." She said honestly. "I'm ashamed to even face you."
"Rubbish!" He admonished her. "How can you ever be ashamed before me when I kidnapped you?"
She shrugged, "well that was really suckish. But I can never compare to your beautiful girls. I'm sorry I put them in danger like that." She sighed.
"Jessie you are worthy of everything you get and more. All this people here that have known you for what? Not more than three months? They are already willing to sacrifice so much for you."
"I wish they wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't." She said pulling her bottom lip into her mouth. "I could never live with myself if anything happened to anyone because of me."
As Tony opened his mouth to speak someone interrupted them. "Hey! Stop hogging the star of the evening." Paul yelled.
"Are you drunk?" Jessie asked with a slight smile on her face.
"Yes!" He replied immediately causing a small start of laughter. He walked up to her with shocking precision, she was both surprised and impressed. Pulling her away from Tony and to the small gathering of people.
While she was being tortured by questions and statements of encouragement she noticed someone was missing.
"Where is Katherine? She is okay right?" She gasped.
"She's fine." Jason replied before she began to panic again.
"So where is she?"
"She a traitor and she has gone away! Don't waste your time speaking of her!" Paul huffed angrily his speech starting to slur.
"Gone away? Where has she gone?" Jessie asked, looking to Jason for her answer she didn't feel Paul was a reliable source at the moment.
"Away! What part of that don't you understand!" He yelled.
"Bu-"
"Shhhh!" He put his finger aganist her lip. "Don't mention her name again!"
"Okay! That's enough, time out for you." Jason said pulling him away from Jessie.
"No! I don't want to" he whined. "I'll stay here with Jessie, you wouldn't leave me like Katherine right?"
Krystal scoffed as she watched the man she admired most in the world make a fool of himself again! Because of the same woman! Just who the hell was this Katherine?!
"Hey! Get a grip." Jason said snacking the back of his head.
"Let go!" He yanked his arm out of Jason grip, accidentally smacking Jessie as he did.
"Ah!" Shw cried out, her hand nursing the pain on her forehead.
"Okay... time to go to sleep buddy." Jonathan said stepping in, both men dragged his struggling form away.
Krystal frowned, sitting down with less elegance that a raging bull.
"You look angry? What wrong?" Jessie asked.
Krystal frowned immediately disappeared. "Me? Not at all, what about you!" She blurted nervously.
"Me? Why would I be angry?" Jessie laughed.
"Ah ofcourse, but how are you doing?"
"Less better with every time I'm asked that" she said. "I'm fine, really."
Krystal nodded. "I believe you, you're starting to look like yourself again."
"Your hair." She specified when Jessie gave her a questioning look.
"It's all grown now right?" She said touching the hair that fell just past her shoulders.
"It's pretty, I'm glad you won't have to cut it anymore. You looked great with a buzz cut but I like you better with long hair." Krystal said.
"Really?" She nodded. "I guess you're right, I don't need to hide anymore."
"That's got to be rough for you, I completely under-"
"I don't need to hide anymore!" She said getting up abruptly. Krystal gave her a confused look, wondering why she looked happy? How could she be happy? Every single person would be on her case now.
"What's going on?" Jason asked as he walked down.
"I don't need to hide anymore." Jessie said.
Jason brows furrowed in confusion, what was she saying all of a sudden?
"Don't you get it? The whole world knows I'm alive, I've been cleared of the charges aganist me so it's not as if I'm hiding from anything anymore." She explained. "I hadn't even thought about that, but if that's the case it means I can go back to my house and I can take charge of my own bank accounts again."
Jason face fell and he walked to Jessie with a cautious expression on his face, the words coming out if his mouth feeling so bitter he could almost taste it.
"So what are you saying Jessie? You want to move out?" He asked.
Jessie gave him a pointed look. "Ofcourse, there's no reason why I should leave here anymore. I can finally go home."
"But this is your home." Jason said.
Jessie shook her head unaware of the damage she was doing. "It isn't, I can go back to my own house Jason. And my money, I have about 12 million in my account, and if I remember correctly I should still have almost a 100 million in assets." She laughed.
"I will not lie, i wasn't feeling this party, but I guess I can have something to be happy about this evening. I'm rich!" She yelled happily. "I can finally stop freeloading off you and even pay you back for everything!" She squealed. Each word ripping out a piece of Jason's heart.
"I can't believe I didn't realise this sooner!" She said. "Thank you Krystal."
Jason shot Krystal a venomous glare that even shook the girl. "Yeah, thank you Krystal." He spat bitterly.
