"Krystal!" The skinny brunette ran to hug her sister. "Oh my gosh, how did you spend the night here? Even just the three hours I was here it was scary" Karen shuddered.
"You're just being a cry baby, it's not that bad." Krystal shook her head at her overly dramatic sister.
"No, I'm not. Really, ah... my sister is really strong and brave. How many times is it that you've spent the night in jail?" Karen exclaimed ignoring all the attempts her sister made at trying to signal her to shut up.
"Oh my gosh Karen could you be louder?" Her sister whispered.
"What? Why are you telling me to be quiet? You said you were proud of every experience. You said you proved to yourself just how much you loved your icon." Her sister pouted.
Krystal covered her face in shame as Jonathan approached them, still with that amused grin that had been etched on his face all night.
"Wow I didn't know my secretary had such an extensive criminal history?" He said with slight chuckle.
"Who... are you?" Karen asked.
"He's my boss!" Krystal spat.
"Oh... Oh!" She gasped bowing immediately. "I did not mean anything I just said." she said immediately.
Jonathan laughed. "It's okay, by the way what are you doing here? Did they let you go?"
"That's true, I thought you said you were being 'held'" Krystal added.
"Oh they let us go, appeared the woman isn't pressing charges." Karen said.
"Oh thank goodness, she must not have been very injured then." Karen sighed.
"No.. she was pretty injured. Her head was even bleeding." Karen insisted. "It was actually very surprising that she let us go."
"Hmm... that is strange. You said she looked like Jessie Marin?" She asked her sister.
Karen nodded. "What are you thinking?" Karen asked her.
"This seems very similar, five years ago a similar happened to Jessie Marin and instead of pressing charges she let all the people go. She said they were only doing it because they were passionate about her." Krystal said.
"So you think that woman might actually be the actress Jessie Marin?" Jonathan asked.
"I don't know, but it seems so." Krystal said.

"Oh well, she disappears after the man came for her. I'm tried let's go." Her sister said.
"I'll drop you." Jonathan offered.
"No! no, you've already done so much for me. We'll just walk, our house isn't far from here." Krystal smiled. Pinching her sister behind to prevent her from saying anything.
"Alright then." He said walking away.
"Why did you do that? We have to take two buses now." Karen whined.
"How can I keep accepting his help? I'm not that shameless, besides he is my boss." Krystal scolded her sister. The both of them putting on fake smiles as he drove past.
As soon as they were out of sight they began to walk in the same direction, walking to the bus station.
***************************************************
Jason tossed and turned all night, unable to get any sleep. For who knows how long he had been staring at his starry ceiling. He turned and laid on his side, after he made that call to the police he had this uneasy feeling in his chest. Of course he would feel guilty, seeing Jessie tonight so weak and broken it did something to him. He felt extremely hurt, a feeling he'd only experienced once in his life. He stared at his alarm clock, he hadn't needed it in a long while. When you had a father like his, you tend to have an internal alarm clock.
He got up to go splash water on his face, since he couldn't sleep he should at least get some work done.
As he stepped out of his room in search of his laptop, he heard screaming.
'Jessie!' He thought, running to her room. As he twisted the door knob it gave way. 'Thankfully the door is open'.
He rushed to her bed side, she was still sleeping but she was sweating and screaming.
"No no! Please don't! I didn't kill anyone! Please!" She screamed.
"Jessie! Jessie" Jason shook her by the shoulders.
Her eyes opened and she looked at Jason. "Jason?"
"Yes, yeah it me. You're fine, you're alright." He said, sitting on the bed pulling her up to a sitting position.
"What?" She muttered.
"It was just a dream, it was just a dream. You're okay." Jason said.

Jessie was confused for a moment before taking in her surroundings and realising that she was indeed not being chased by her fans but sleeping safely in Jason's house.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" she cried. Covering her eyes with her hands she wept.
"Hey, hey it's okay. You're okay." Jason said smiling softly at her.
She raised her head and looked at him, looking so sad and vulnerable. "No it's not." She cried.
Jessie flung herself on Jason wrapping her hands around him she cried. Jason held her close, pulling her onto his lap he caressed her back as she shook violently with sobs, wetting his shirt with her tears. Jason didn't know what to do, seeing her cry like this made him extraordinary angry, at the world at himself. It was clear that everything was planned from the get go, someone was trying to frame her and destroy her image. But what he couldn't understand is why there would want her dead? He could kill right now, he was clenching his so hard that it hurt but he was too angry to even care.
***************************************************
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO.
"Jason, Jason!" A middle aged woman yelled at the pompous teenage boy walking away in front of her.
"Jason Tan Kang!" She screamed.
"What!" He turned around and walked back to her. "What else do you want? Why must you ruin everything for me!" He yelled.
"What do you mean by ruin everything? And watch your tone young man, I am still your mother!" She said firmly.
"I don't care, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm sick and tired of you and dad treating me like this! I'm not that snot faced kid anymore mom, I'm done!" He said firmly walking back out.
"Where are you going? Jason!" She ran out after him.
Jason looked up at the light, five more seconds and the light would be green, he would run. If he made it the cars would start to move and his mom won't be able to follow him.
He strides became quicker until he was jogging across the road. He smiled when he crossed the road only to hear a loud horn and a big thud. Turning around he saw his mom in the air, "Mom!!!" He screamed running back to the road. He arrived just as she hit the ground rather violently banging her head on the asphalt.
He knelt down a few steps from her and slid the rest of the way, scrapping his knee and tearing the fabric around his knees and he picked his mom upper body and held it to himself.
"Mom! mom! Please" he cried. "Please! Pleeeeese! I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't leave me. Please mom, please." He sobbed.
"Call an ambulance! Someone please call an ambulance!" He screamed as people started to gather around them.
"Mom, mom please stay with me. The ambulance will be here soon please!"
His mother struggled to open her eyes, as blood poured out from the gash that open when she hit her head on the ground.
"Mom! Mom! Mooooommm!!" He screamed as her eyes fluttered shut."No, please no! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
**************************************************
Jason rocked Jessie slowly as she calmed down. She had stopped shaking violently as her sobs were silent. He stretched his neck to try see if she was still crying but he couldn't see her face.
"Jessie?" He called softly.
No answer. He leaned forward and held the base of her head to support her as she fell into his hand. She was as sleep just as he had suspected. Gently getting up he turned around and laid her down. Wiping her tear stained face with his shirt he pulled off. He kissed her forehead and started to walk away, but she grabbed his hand and he stopped.
Turning back around to look at her.
"Can you please stay with me?" She said.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
She nodded, gently pulling him to her, she rolled over giving him space to get into the bed.
When he laid down she turned around and snuggled into his chest, placing her palms flat against his chest and resting her head in the crook of his neck. Their bodies fit perfectly and he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to himself.
Within a few minutes they had both drifted into dreamless slumbers.
