Dollhouse

chapter fifteen

Jackson : "well what did you want to talk about, Mrs Jones."
Mrs Jones : "sorry for making you come here but there's something important that i need to tell you."
Jackson : "what's so important?"
Mrs Jones : "honestly...jiha has a disease."
Jackson : "disease?? What disease?"
Mrs Jones : "that's right, she has a heart disease which causes her to feel bad if someone scare her too much or be too harsh. Like she will feel nauseous or dizziness and heart aches." she puased. "And in the worst she will have a heart attack."
Jackson : "what?" After Mrs sania Jones said those things I remembered all of the things I did to jiha. A huge range of guilt filled my mind. She doesn't seem like she has such a disease she's always feisty.
Mrs Jones : "heh..so she didn't tell you, I guessed that."
Jackson : "no she didn't and if you haven't told me I would never be aware of that."
Mrs Jones : "anyways,i wish you could do me a favor."
Jackson : "I'm listening."
Mrs Jones : "jiha has to take some medications and often she needs to visit doctor but she barely does it. I used to keep an eye on her when she was living with us but now..."
Jackson : "you want me to watch her, don't you?"
Mrs Jones : "yes! I know her,she wouldn't put much affort in it and well_"
Jackson : "don't worry i keep an eye on her."
Mrs Jones : "really? Thank you so much"
I forced a smile. "You're welcome."
Mrs Jones : "wow finally I'm seeing some smile on your face." I forced a smile again though I was thinking about something else.
It definitely will not be something easy to do. Keeping an eye on a feisty girl.

Jiha POV :
I came back from work and took a shower.
NOTHING is more relaxing than a warm bath.
After bath I went to the kitchen because certainly I don't wanna starve to death.

later at night :

Jackson walked towards me with his arm folded to his chest. His expression was serious again. "Jiha, is there anything you wanna tell me?"
I looked at him head to toe with a slight frown. "Something I wanna tell you? Do you suddenly feel like being a husband material?"
I chuckled and looked back at my phone.
Jackson : "I'm serious jiha!"
Jiha : "you're always serious iceman. "
Jackson : "don't call me like that"
Jiha : "Iceman"
Jackson took a deep breath, clearly trying to stay calm. "Look; I don't want to argue with you."
Jiha : "alright.." I set my phone down. "What do you expect me to say?"
Jackson : "for example when were you planning to tell me about your heart disease?" I just stared at him as my expression falls serious. "..."
_shit!
What I heard made my blood boil.
"Who told you!?"
Jackson : "it doesn't matter who did that, the deal is something else."
Jiha : "I asked you who. Told. You??!!"
Jackson : "jiha can you stop being childish and listen to me for once?"
Jiha : "oh wait, of course! Who else can tell you but my mom." I let out an angry scoff.
"What else did she tell you?"
Jackson : "look she asked me to do a favor and I clearly am seeing why she did that_"
I cutt him off before he could continue. "Listen carefully, I don't need anyone's protection or attention. So whatever that favor was bury it here!"
Then I went to my room and shut the door behind myself. I know, i seemed like a stubborn teenager but we all have bad and good versions.
I quickly called my mom's number.
Mrs Jones : "hi jiha"
Jiha : "mom!"
Mrs Jones : "did something happen?"
Jiha : "I'm the one who should ask that"
Mrs Jones : "oh so Jackson_"
I cut her off "what did you tell him!? I'm a grown ass person and can take care of myself! Seriously you went that far to ask my contract husband such a thing? And not just a normal request!"
Mrs : "can you calm down for a moment? Right, you're an adult but acting childish most of the times. I told him because I care about you. You know I don't want anything bad for you."
Jiha : "and have your even thought to care to ask me if I want that?"
Mrs Jones : "that was obvious you wouldn't accept with this attitude you have with jackson."
I scoffed. "I could've tell him myself. There was no need to make it seem so big."
Mrs Jones : "make it seem so big? Do you even know the danger of your heart condition??"
I sighed, clearly didn't have the nerve for that convention again. "I didn't mean that, I do know the danger. All I'm saying is next time talk to me instead of someone like jackson" I hanged up and throw the phone on bed. I sat on the edge of bed and let out a Huff, running a hand through my hairs.

Jackson POV :
I was standing there in hallway with crossed arms. Thinking about her earlier outburst.
_why does she get mad so easily all the time?
I sighed and knocked on the door of her room. After two knocks she finally replied. "Come in" I opened the door and stepped in. "You just drop the topic in the middle and run away slamming the door like six year-old kids?"
Jiha : "if you came here to drop sarcasms get back out!"
Jackson : "why so mad?" I laughed mockingly but she gave me a death glare full of anger.
_what the hell is wrong with her?!
"Don't get too angry...may we continue our conversation now?"
Jiha : "what conversation!? That wasn't a conversation as I remember"
Jackson : "can you just show me your pills?" Jiha took a deep breath and pointed at the nightstand. "There"
I walked towards it and grabbed the box.
"Do you have to take them every day?" I asked.
Jiha : "every other day now if you're done_"
Jackson : "when was the last time you took one?"
Jiha : "do you really have to know!?"
Jackson : "when was it?"
She cursed under breath and looked away.
Jackson : "is it so hard to play along with me!? I'm trying to ask you something politely and nice and I expect a proper answer." And she continued looking away. I let out a huff.
After a few moments of silence she spoke up in low tone. "Last week..."
Jackson : "hm?"
Jiha : "I took them last week"
Jackson : "last week?? You just said every other day you? Must take them"
Jiha : "did I?" She rolled hey eyes.
Jackson : "Now I get it why she asked me to watch you."
Jiha : "look I don't need your care, I take them by myself, okay? Is that clear?"
Jackson : "no it's not clear! If you had the intention of taking them you would do it till now." She scoffed.
Jackson : "but I don't think you wanna kill yourself so just do me a favor and take your pills so I can get back to my own life and problems."
Jiha : "i wasn't waiting for your orders, sir" she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
Jackson : "will you take it or not?"
Jiha : "I will"
Jackson : "good, I also will check them so don't even think about tricking me."
Jiha : "whatever, as if you're a FBI agent or something."
I scoffed and ran a hand through my hairs. "Brat" I muttered and walked out of her room, leaving the house.
