Back to Jack

The Jack Hack

"Jessie?" I wake to Frost's voice calling my name.

"Jessie, you awake?"

"No," I groan, snuggling my face into my pillow.

"Haha okay, J wanted me to check on you. How you feeling?"

"As if he cares, he's the one that did this!"
I sit up and point to my bandaged side.

"He does care Jessie. You should have seen him last night, that's the first time I've ever seen him look guilty, he's not eaten, he hasn't slept.

"He does stuff like this to Harley all the time and it never fazes him.

"It's like he enjoyed hurting her but hurting you... it's like it killed him inside."

Listening to Frost makes me realise that Jack might not be completely gone, underneath all the ego, bitterness and madness. My Jack is still trapped in side this psychopath and I plan on getting him out.

"Where is he now?"

"In his office... he's a mess."

"Will you take me to him?"

"Sure."

"Thank you, can I have a moment to shower and get dressed?"

"I'll wait outside"

"Thank you Frost."

Frost leaves the room and I head to the bathroom to take a shower, turning it on before starting to undress. I take the bandages from my wound and step in to the shower. I allow the warm water to fall over me, relaxing my aching muscles. The water hits my wound causing me to flinch. Once I'm all clean I turn of the shower and step out, wrapping myself in a towel. I look In the bathroom cabinet and find some bandages and start redressing the wound. I then head back in to the bedroom. I walk over to the closet to pick out some clothes. I decide on my oversized hoodie dress as I didn't want anything clinging to my side.

I put my dark hair up in to a messy bun and head out of the room to find frost.

"Hey Frost, I'm ready."

"Come with me," he says motioning for me to follow him

Frost leads me downstairs and through a long corridor up to a large oak double door.

"Wait here while I check if it's okay for you to go in"

I nod and frost enters the room. I place my ear against the door to try and hear what is being said.

"You've got a visitor J."

"Tell him I'm busy."

"It's not a him, it's a her"

"Harley?"

"Nope. Guess again."

"Jessie?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I don't know boss, she just asked if I would bring her to see you."

"Fine, let her in."

I hear my cue to move away from the door.
Frost opens it.

"Go on in, I'll wait in the lounge."

"Thank you." I walk in to Js office, cautiously.

"Hi," I squeak waving my hand at J, trying not to make eye contact. A tiny smile flashes on his face but quickly disappears. He sits staring at my body where he had cut me.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to tell Jack something."

"Well Jack isn't here doll, so your out of luck."
