Jessica awoke with a moan, her head hurt, she felt like her entire body was on fire. Next to her Chloe was asleep, Nikkei and Aella were no where in sight. She sat up and looked around, there were no Autobots in sight, and she was too tired to look for them. She then flopped back and drifted to sleep once more…
Jessica awoke to the sound of gears moving, she sat up quickly, her eyes caught Bumblebee, and he entered the room and closed the door softly behind him. When he saw Jessica he smiled inwardly. He waved and she smiled at him, damn, she had a nice smile. Bumblebee was proud of her, she was so new to this and yet she looked perfectly fine (emphases on the perfect.) next to her Chloe lie out cold, her run in with her sister had out done her. but Bumblebee was focused on Jessica, he had to be sure that she was ok. He walked up to the table, knelt down and looked at her. Jessica looked into his optics her head was tilted, she looked confused.
What was Bumblebee doing? Jessica was confused but she didn't say anything. She turned her body to face him and stared right back at him.
She was able to move, that was good. With his hand he brought it close to Jessica, it allowed her to move on and lie in his hand comfortably. She smiled up at him and gave him a thumbs up when she was set. Bee slowly lifted his hand and walked out of the room, he was careful to take slow and even step, so, not to disturb her. Jessica was still recovering from her incident and with that in mind Bumblebee had to take extra care, not that he minded. He walked outside and slowly made his way over to the lake, Jessica looked like she could use some reviving water. Jessica had to shield her eyes from the sudden sunlight but she saw the water clearly and smiled. She wanted to get wet; she felt dirty and needed to get rid of the feeling. Once on the ground it took Jessica a bit to fully support herself, she had to hold onto Bumblebee's finger so that her body would remain up right.
Once in the water Jessica stuck to the shallows, she didn't trust her body fully just yet. She waded in and allowed the dirt grime and what ever feelings she had to rub off, she was left with a peace of mind. She was ok now, Bumblebee would protect her. she rubbed her arms in an attempt to keep warm but that didn't help, suddenly warm arms surrounded her, with a gasp she turned around, she looked up into the eyes of Bumblebee's holoform.
Bumblebee held her close and led her out of the water, she was cold and shivering but Bumblebee was keeping his strong arms around her, slowly warming her up. once at the sun warmed sand, Bumblebee stopped, right then and there he was content just to hold her. Jessica wound her arms around his waist and pressed her face into his shoulder.
"Thank you" she whispered suddenly. "you saved my life" she felt Bumblebee shrug around her. she looked up and saw a small grin, he was happy she was safe and sound, in his arms.
Then standing on her tiptoes she placed a kiss on his cheek. She leaned back down and hugged him tighter, seeking his warmth, for she was still cold. An arm removed its self from holding her and went to her face. Jessica felt her face being pushed and looked up, she didn't have time to react, Bumblebee pressed his lips against hers. She gasped but kissed him back all the same.
For those brief moments everything was right in the world. Jessica and Bumblebee walked back in the base, she clutched his finger still trying to figure out what had happened. They happened to run into Ironhide and Ratchet both were in a hurry. They didn't bother to say hello to them the just rushed past them and drove out of the base.
Jessica looked at their retreating forms, eyebrows raised, it gave her a very good questioning look, when she turned that look to Bumblebee he just shrugged. Optimus walked by them, Chloe was in his hands and awake. She smiled at Jessica but said nothing. Optimus looked down at Jessica.
"where are Aella and Nikkei?" Jessica asked. Chloe's face darkened, she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Optimus looked down the hall, where Ironhide and Ratchet were minutes before "the hospital. We brought them there hoping the human doctors could help, we just got a phone call saying they are in critical condition still and it looks like they wont be getting out of it"
Ok well here is Jessica, hoped you enjoyed it. Well looked for my next story where last but certainly not least, the Jazz man gets a Girlfriend.
