"Chris!" Jesse exclaimed as he went in to hug him. "You doing good, man?" Chris asked as he pulled him in a brotherly hug, "Yeah, I'm fantastic." jesse almost immediately replied as he pulled out of the hug causing Chris to roll his eyes and raise his eyebrows. "You sure, man?" he questioned as he judged him; his eyes roaming around his tired stricken face, "Fine......I-I," Jesse stammered as he turned around; his gaze on the floor as he whispered, "You know, I dreamt about her." "Elle?" "Who else, Christopher." Jesse retorted as he rolled his eyes before his eyes softening again as he mumbled, "Yeah........her." Chris stood there not knowing what to say so he just placed a hand on his shoulder and said; "Let's go home. She's waiting for you."

"EVERYONE PLEASE WELCOME, JESSE LEE SOFFER!" the host screamed to the audience as the lights dimmed out and Jesse slowly strutted in the room; waving at the crowd. "Jesse, this is your first interview in almost a year time. Now, how do you feel?" Jimmy asked him, once they were both seated to which he slowly nodded and replied, "Yeah, it is but it's great. I feel great." A small smile forming on his lips.

 "Last year....." Jimmy asked unsure where to lead the question. "Mhmm." Jesse murmured; nodding his head in acknowledgement. "Last year was," jimmy paused halfway trying to find a suitable word, "....was emotionally wrecking?" "Yeah, jimmy. It was.... uhm it was quite unpleasant for my - everyone's mental health." Jesse replied in a low tone; chuckling on the last bit. "Elle, was it?" Jimmy questioned as a gleam of emotion passed through Jesse's eye as he slowly nodded, "Elle...... Alexia Elle Soffer." Jesse murmured with a tight smile on his lips as jimmy placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Uhm, we....well I already knew that she was going to be named after her mother. We didn't expect it, she didn't....uhm but o-once you know that you lost it; the pain, it looms around your body forever.... It was taken from us before we even knew it was there. It's hard, man. Very hard so i respect all the parents out there who have lost there child." Jesse spoke; his voice wavering with emotions. Jimmy nodded his head in understanding as he motioned to Jesse's arm; changing the topic.

"Your arm, how is it?" he asked as Jesse let out a chuckle. "Oh, man." he gasped out. "I-It's amazing, which is shocking cause like even five months ago, i couldn't fuckin-" as the crowd roared, he stopped halfway; his cheeks turning red. "Omg, i can't curse, can i?" he adorably questioned to particularly no one as jimmy laughed. His face completely turned deep red as he hid his face in his palm as the sound of laughter filled the warehouse. "Stop." he laughed out as he slowly pulled his head up, trying to hide his smile as he looked at the people. "People, people, people. I was talking." he spoke after collecting his voice; his cheeks still not back to their natural color.

"Okay, where was i?" he turned around; asking jimmy, who motioned at his arm. "Ah," he said as he put his focus back to the people, "Yes, i could barely move it back then so this definitely amazing, all thanks to my doctors," he turned his gaze on Jimmy as he asked, "Can i give a little credits to my doctors?" To which the audience awed at him. He turned around; smiling cheekily as he started, "I wanna thank my doctor Ahmed, without whom this wouldn't have happened. Without his expertise, i wouldn't have gotten back in the industry this soon. I wanna thank my therapist Doctor Ava, i respect you alot, thank you for making sure i didn't have a shi- shimmy mental health." "O-" Jimmy started but Jesse picked up his index finger to tell him to wait and continued on as the audience laughed at his antics, "I wanna thank my whole team, who supported me through this journey and huge thanks to my nurses, you guys are legit amazing. Also, to my girlfriend Arielle, thank you for holding my hand through this dark period in both of our lives." At the sound of Arielle's name, the crowd started chanting her name but they were tuned out as Jimmy spoke, "We hope you come back here, Jesse but folks that's it for now. You can head over to our site right now to win exciting prizes including a chance to win a comic - con ticket for this year." As Jesse sat there; smiling as he thought. i need to go home.
