They were confused, don't know what to say. Mark turned to Jesse, "Jess, you need rest."
"You haven't answered my question," Jesse said. "Where's Mia?" Jesse looked up at Amanda, then Mark, and then Steve.
Amanda looked at Mark who nodded to her.
Amanda sit next to Jesse, slipping her arm around his shoulders. She looked up at Mark and Steve once again, and then turned her attention to Jesse. "Well, Jesse. I'm sorry but..." Jesse looked at her, expecting something. Amanda hope that she didn't have to continue. But she knew she must go on, "we lost her."
Jesse's eyes widened, "Lost? Y-you mean she's death?" He looked deeply at the three of them, one by one.
Amanda nodded, "Yes, Jesse. I'm sorry."
"No," he started to shake, and he sobbed.
Amanda hugged him closely, rubbing his back gently, soothing him.
"I killed her," Jesse said.
Amanda startled. She let go, "What?"
"I killed her. I hit her with my car. I killed her, Amanda," he lowered his head.
Mark and Steve exchanged looks.
"No, Jesse, you didn't. She died because of cancer." Amanda hugged him close.
But Jesse let go. "Yes, I did. I saw her, passing the road, in front of my car. I didn't concentrate on the road. So I got startled, and lost control of my car, and I hit her, and..." Amanda hugged him closely.
"No Jess, it must be a dream," she said.
Mark leaned forward, stroking Jesse's hair, "Jesse, you're tired. You need some sleep."
They were waiting for quite a long time, until Jesse was asleep in Amanda's embrace. With the help of Mark, Amanda settled him on his pillow. And the three of them got out of the room.
