Jessie pushed the door into Patricia room slowly and walked in, she didn't know how to describe how she felt, all she knew was that she really wanted to see her. 

Patricia was asleep as she walked in, but even in her sleep she looked so disturbed, srunching up her nose as if she smelled something bad, and her lips were pulled up into a thin line, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She even clutched her cover with tight fists. 

Jessie walked over to the seat by her bed and sat down on it watching her. "I could pull out the pillow from underneath your head and smother you, you know." She said quietly, looking forward, at nothing in particular. "And I would get away with it. My friend owns the hospital, he'll definitely help me cover it up."

"So then why don't you? You certainly have more than enough reason to do so." She said.

"I do don't I? I'm just not as inhumane as-" her eyes widened and she turned to Patricia who was already pulling herself up into a sitting position. "You're awake."

"I was aware the moment you walked into the room. Just didn't know it was you, what an unfortunate day. I'm seeing your face." She turned to grab a glass from beside her and drank from it.

"Well I live to make your life unfortunate these days so..." She replied after getting over her initial shock.

"How did you find out I was here?" She asked with a scowl.

Jessie gave her a small smile, "aren't you aware? Your attempted suicide is all over the news." 

Patricia shut her eyes for the briefest moment and was that hurt Jessie saw?

"It's sick you know, you're sick. Using Actor Hyun Jin for your sick benefits." Jessie spat.

And Patricia eyes widened, out of shock, out of anger out of hurt. Shock, because she wondered how Jessie knew she was in the hospital because of him. Anger because she had no idea what she was going through and yet she dared judge and hurt, because in a way she was right. At the end of the day all the heartfelt messages of compassion she received was because of him. Even from the grave he still helped her.

"What the hell do you know about me?!" Patricia yelled. "What the hell do you know about us? How did you even find out?!" She screamed. 

Jessie watched her pain, she knew and understood her suffering, seven months ago she might have pitied her. But now? After everything she would have to be an angel to have any thing other than hatred for the hurting woman before her.

"I know everything, I know it all. You were the one he was having an affair with before he died, and yet you let them pin it all on me." Jessie said with dark eyes. "You used him then and you're using him now. If that's how you treat the people you claim to love it's still a wonder how I'm still alive." Jessie said, intentionally driving daggers into her.

One reason, the most important of all why she didn't want Jason to release those videos, was not because of his wife or children. Especially not because of the devil incarnate before her but because of the man himself. 

Even after everything, Hyun Jin was still her friend. It surprised her to find out about his affair and she had doubts about the relationship they shared but still. She chose to believe it was real, he was a good person, must have been utterly confused to date someone like Patricia but he was kind. The type of person that saw the good in everyone and brought it out.

She couldn't tell Jason that, he wouldn't understand. 

"I didn't! I had no control over it back then, and I have no control over it right now. Do you know how much, how badly I wished for people to call our names in the same sentence? I was willing to give up everything to be with him..." she suddenly stopped, her face fell and her eyes were filled with hurt. Looking Jessie in the eye she spoke. "Why I'm I explaining all this to you? You wouldn't understand." 

"You're wrong, I do understand." Patricia eyes widened. "But I don't care, I refuse to care. After everything... you don't deserve my sympathy."

"And I'm not asking for it!" She spat viciously. 

"Good." Jessie nodded. "Just know, that this feeling? This utter helplessness and heartbreak you're feeling is well deserved." 

Patricia gave her a rueful laugh, filled with mirth and ire. "Is that why you're here? To gloat?"

"I have better things to do with my time." Jessie's reply was snappy.

"So? Why are you here then?" 

"Getting a bit ahead of yourself aren't you? I would have hoped you would have figured it out on your own" Jessie said with a knowing wink.

At first Patricia face was etched with both annoyance and confusion. Then she began to wonder, Jessie only spoke of Hyun Jin, and she somehow knew that her hospitalization has been because of him. Something only George and that old man knew about. She couldn't have known about it unless she was somehow miraculously able to read minds which was very unlikely so the other reasonable option was...

Her eyes flew to Jessie's and she gasped. "There is no way!" 

Jessie smiled sweetly, "you've always been so smart."

"How the hell?" 

"Jason. Jason showed me, infact he handed the video to me on a sliver platter, as a gift to show his goodwill." She said biting back the laughter that threatened to spill out of her lips at the sight of Patricia face.

She began to tremble and quake with rage so Jessie continued...

"How does it feel Patricia knowing your greatest enemy in the world has your life in her hands?" Jessie asked.

And Patricia reached forward to grab her but she backed away just in time and began to chuckle.

"That's impossible! That video doesn't exist anymore, you're lying!" She screamed. 

"Oh come on, it's obvious you don't really believe that." Jessie tilted her head. "And don't you know Karma is such a freaking bitch? If anyone in the world would have the very last copy, who do you think it will be?" 

"You're Lying!" She shrieked. "I know you, if you had it you would have already posted it. You're only trying to bother and rile me up. I won't believe you!" 

"Awwn... look at her thinking she knows everything about me. What do you think? Seeing you like this, in this state how do you think it makes me feel?" Jessie asked, giggling slightly. 

"You bitch!" She screamed. 

"How does it feel Patricia? Tell me?" Jessie laughed. "Oh oh oh" she exclaimed leaning down towards Patricia "I also know about how you grovelled and begged Jason not to leave you, and yet he came running, back to me." She stood up, her face falling into a serious expression.

Patricia held the sides of her head, ruffling her hair she screamed, at the top of her lungs, she screamed. 

Jessie stood there watching her breakdown, watching unwind and loose control. And when she calmed she walked back to her and pushed her so her back was touching the bed.

"Remember this moment Patricia, remember this feeling and enjoy it while it lasts. Because as miserable as you feel right now, it will only get worse. From here on out that high you're on, it a slippery slope and your already sliding right down." Jessie said fire in her eyes. 

Standing up straight, she adjusted her clothes and straightened her hair. Patricia sat motionless as Jessie shot her an icy glare. Turning around she walked out of the room.
