TRIGGER WARNING!

Jason POV

We're at the hospital now.....what have I done.The doctor told us she hadn't been eating or drinking water for sometime and if we hadn't gotten there in time, she would've been close to death.I'm now in the hospital with my mom and sister. Is she okay... no what am I kidding I should've went with her home. " Please wake up Cassandra "

Cassandra POV

It's dark.... I feel so numb ,am I dead am I finally dead,but my eyes are met with HIS face ,I woke up sweaty.I see the Johnsons around my hospital bed asleep...wait hospital oh no oh no.....I need to get out of here now. I'm panicking now. The monitor picks it up causing them to wake up.I see their mouths moving and nothing coming out .... fuck I'm having a panic attack.

After an hour I calmed down.I need to leave. I asked the doctors to allow me to leave which they hesitated to do but Jason told them he'll take care of me. I started speed walking to make it quick that I leave here.I started feeling dizzy the moment I reach the front doors of the hospital but Jason held me by the waist preventing me from falling " Why are you running" I couldn't even answer him then I saw....him coming out of the same car he once drove me over with in a doctor's coat. I froze...my abuser is right there... I need to run...Jason picks me up taking me to his car. He straps me in and all I'm looking at is Jake.... his still the same...oh God why here what if he saw me....no....I ran away why is he in this hospital. " DRIVE!" I say basically shouted at Jason to do which he did without first asking why.When we were safe I then blanked out from the sudden adrenaline drop.

JASON POV

I'm currently carrying an unconscious Cassandra in my arms. What the fuck was that at the hospital ,she looked like she saw a ghost. Was that guy Jake ,the one coming out of the car, I couldn't get a good look at the guy.... the horror in her face said it all though. Whoever this Jake is ...is a threat to Cassandra. Now I feel even more shitty maybe if I wasnt so triggered fuck. I take her in my house making sure to lay her in my bed. I leave her side to make her soup. Why did my sister and mom have to leave for Hawaii now of all times.

Flashback
" We're going to Hawaii my son, your uncle has passed" mom says once we left the hospital. What does she mean we ." She means me and her , your staying so that YOU can take care of Cassandra since it's YOUR mistake that YOU need to fix." Maya says while on the phone in the back seat. " Yes son, take care of her while we're away , we'll be back in a month or two so take of care her " . I kept quiet knowing I was going to do it anyway.
Flashback end

I finish making the soup and took it upstairs to an awaken Cassandra. " You okay " I ask placing the soup near the  bed stand. " Yeah....just saw someone I didn't want to see" she says softly. I wanted to ask if it's Jake but I kept it to myself " It was Jake " she says while eating the soup " Thank you by the way for the soup" she thanks me smiling. She's trying to act like everything is okay but I should be patient. " My pleasure" I say in return.

I've been taking care of Cassandra for about a week now and she's getting better.. she sometimes has nightmares but I don't ask about them because I don't want to argue about it. She's working already even though the doctor said after 2 weeks I guess as a successful person you need to get on with your work... or she's just a workaholic. I'm worried about her but she seems fine still I can't shake off this feeling that something happened to her that broke her some how. Let me get groceries, the fridge is empty" Hey Cassandra" I say coming into my room while ours now that she has alot of her clothes here." I'm heading out to the grocery store, I need some things, call me if you need me okay" I say to her. " Oh okay, I'll do that" She says smiling but it doesn't have that same warmth it used to have.... I think I'll have to talk to her about it.
