Katherine was so relieved as she scribbled her name, time and signature on the sign out document in the lobby. With they way they put her to work after her break, she thought she would never leave the hospital.
The interns and residents under crying tears of joy after she came back. The other general surgery professor an old, divorced and bitter man that felt it necessary to make lives miserable. She knew how the professor was, so she understood their pain and agreed to take on more surgeries due to everyone's begging.
But it left her utterly and helplessly tired. But not tried enough to not wear a wide smile as she walked out of the hospital. Her joy was cut short when Paul screeched to an alarming halt in front of her.
"Paul? What the hell do you think you're doing?" She asked in shock.
"No time, get in it's an emergency." Paul said.
"Why? What?" She asked getting scared.
"It's Jessie, she fainted." He said.
"Again?" Katherine asked in shock.
Paul desperate eyes and lack of answer prompted her to walk into the car immediately.
"You're not going anywhere, answer me Jessie. When were you planning to tell me? Or where you not even planning to say anything?" He asked in such a dangerous tone she began to fear.
"Let go" she said in a small voice, and it made her feel even more inferior that it quaked.
"Like hell... you're not going anywhere until you answer me, so I'm listening..." he said looking down at her with such angry eyes she hated that they where directed at her.
"I don't know what you want me to say." She said almost pleading.
"How about the reason why you didn't tell me you were losing all your money, the fact that Patricia had to tell me that vital information about my girlfriend. As though your inferior to me or something of the sort, as if you don't deserve me? What the hell gives anyone the right to decide who is deserving of my attention?" He said angrily, his grip on her upper arm tightening. "Why? Do you really not trust me enough to tell me this? Something this big was bothering you and I didn't even know! I don't know if I should be mad at myself for not realising it, or mad at you for not telling me? Because I don't want to believe I'm sucha terrible boyfriend you wouldn't even confide in me."
"Jason..." she breathed out, shutting her eyes tightly as a stray tear rolled down her cheek.
"Don't..." he said as he shut his eyes as well and leaned down so his head was touching her forehead. "This is probably the most selfish thing you could have done to me.." he said quietly and then she had enough.
Shoving him off her she screamed. "Don't dare make this about you! This is my life, I was the one hurt, I an the one losing everything!"
"But you don't have to!" He yelled back. "You do realise you don't have to right? This isn't anything, I can-"
"Don't, don't say it, please. There's only so much I can take..." she pleaded. "The last thing I want is your money."
Jason wanted to pull his hair out in frustration, where was all this coming from? "You've never had a problem taking my money before, what has changed?" He asked quietly, suppressing the urge to scream.
"I only spent what I knew I could afford on my own. Now I can't afford a thing it's even difficult staying here like this... it's uncomfortable. I feel like I'm leaching off your money or something." She explained.
Jason brows furrowed as his jaw hardened in rage, it burned within him so intensely Jessie could feel it. But his words were clean, sound and steady. "You do realise how twisted that sounds right? And when did I ever complain about you spending my money?" He laughed ruefully. "Do you know one of the reasons I fell for you? You never hesitated to spend my money, like it was natural for you, as if it was your right."
"I don't have that right anymore." She said.
Jason shut his eyes sighing heavily, she could see him tremble and shake. Snapping them back open he glared at her. "Why do you have to be stubborn? It's not even as if you lost your money because you were incompetent, for crying out loud it's not you fault!" He yelled.
"But I don't feel that way!" She yelled back. "This isn't about you Jason I promise, I don't know why I feel like this but I do and I'm sorry that i do but i can't help it... it's so fucking embarrassing to be in this situation. And I know it's not my fault but it's still my life. And I have to take responsibility for it at some point." She cried, wincing as the pain refused to be ignored anymore.
"Let me help you Jessie, you don't have to do this alone. Please just let me help you." He literally begged.
"I-" she groaned, placing her hand on her lower belly, goodness it felt so bad! "I can..." was all that left her mouth as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her body became weightless as she fell.
Jason was shocked initially but he still managed to grab her before she hit the ground. This was becoming too fucking consistent and it wasn't making it any easier.
"Butler Choi!" He yelled as he cradled her close to himself, rocking her hot body, sweaty, pale and clammy skin.
"Call an ambulance, right now!" He yelled.
"No" a soft whisper came from below and his head snapped down.
"Jessie?" Jason called out in shock.
"No ambulance, I c-can... I can't be on the news... I'll be... ughnnn" she groaned.
"You are clearly not fine, you need an ambulance." He insisted.
"No... I can't, you'll be hurt as well, no one can find out I'm wi- Hu!" She huffed, huffing and puffing to try and find a comfortable spot to ease her pain. "With you..."
"Like I care about that!" He snapped.
"I do... please, please I'm okay." She said trying to smile but failing hopelessly as another jolt of pain seized her.
"I called Mr. Song, he is rushing over with Dr. Park." Butler Choi informed them quickly. Anything to stop the fighting, for the first time in his life he wasn't rooting for the couple he served to separate. This people were good for each other and no one in the manor wished for them to be apart.
The house has been dead silent as they fought, everyone holding their breath as the heard the shouting. He was almost as scared as Jason was when he walked in and saw Jessie unconscious in his arms. Even if it was for a little while.
"I can manage until she gets here." She said finally managing the smile.
"Perhaps we should get her to her room?" Butler Choi suggested when Jason remained unmoving.
When two other guys walked in to take her, the glares he shot them halted their advance. Getting up effortlessly with Jessie cradled in his arms, her arms around his neck as she nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck.
He walked away with her, struggling to remain calm as she fazed in and out of consciousness. Even with such pain she didn't want to go to the hospital so he wouldn't be hurt, his heart felt heavier. He shouldn't have doubted her, he shouldn't have pushed her, he should have noticed.
Without anything but the time to blame himself for both his mistakes and hers he waited for Katherine to come. Must have been the longest and most heart wrenching twenty something minutes of his life. But he endured it because he loved her more than anything and he just wanted to be happy with her. He needed to tell her that regardless of whatever situation she was in, he loved her.
Not because of anything but the fact that it was her, not any one else. It was Jessie Marin.
And when he thought it couldn't get any more emotional he heard her soft voice in his ears as he lowered her. Words that changed his life forever... "I love you, Jason. I promise I do."
