A/N: This one is the 'recovery' story. However, you learn the story of Jessica. Yes you find out a secret and who that boy was. I'm sorry about that violence, but it had to be done. Don't worry I like a happy ending. This story is probably the middle. So I'm not giving away anything.
"She's alright," said the doctor to Heero.
"Is she going to live?" asked Heero studying the doctor.
"Yes," answered the doctor with a smile. Heero smiled back. It was something that no one has really seen before. Heero walked passed the doctor to see Jessica lying on the stretcher.
"She should be waking up soon," said the doctor.
"Good," came Quatre's voice.
"Jessica, don't you ever leave me," Heero whispered to her. Even though she was bruised, pale and well, beaten up she still looked beautiful to Heero. Heero stroked her arm (her head had bandages on it to stop the bleeding)
"We need more blood for her. We gave her some from the bank, but in a little while she'll need more," the doctor said less calmly. Heero walked up to him and stuck out his arm.
"What type is she?" Heero asked tonelessly.
"A/B," said the doctor.
"I'm B, is that ok?" asked Heero and the doctor nodded. Heero donated a bag to Jessica. The doctor only insisted on a half of bag, but Heero said it was all right. Duo and Quatre ended up having the right blood type and they donated too. Heero was grateful to them but he didn't show it. However, they could see it in his eyes and they knew.
The doctor walked up to Heero and hung his head,
"She was almost completely rapped," Heero turned around to look at her sleeping peacefully in her bed.
Heero only left her bedside to go to the bathroom. He could barely sleep, he would just watch for any movement.
A day and and a half later… 6:00 PM
Duo walked in the room followed by all the other Gundam boys. He held out a bag in his hand and said,
"Here's some food we brought you!" Heero took it.
"How's she doing?" asked Trowa studying Jessica.
"Fine," answered Heero, he didn't know what to say she was unconscious. Jessica monitor flinched. She moved her hand.
"She's moving!" said Heero tying to keep a calm voice. The boys crowed around her.
Jessica opened her eyes and closed them again. Heero was anxious. Jessica opened her eyes again look at Heero and to their surprise she screamed. She pulled her sheet up from her collarbone to neck. She looked around with scarred eyes. 'Oh no' thought Heero. Could she have amnesia? Heero went to touch her shoulder to explain who they are. He reached down to her. When he did Jessica pulled away and said,
"Don't touch me," Heero was hurt deeply inside. Just because she didn't know him doesn't mean she has to be mean.
"It's me, Heero," he said praying that she'd remember him. Jessica's scared expression didn't change.
"I know who you are," she said. At that all the boys gasped. She looked at the rest of the boys and tears started forming in her eyes. Heero quickly kicked them out. Heero looked at her wondering what to do.
"Jessica please," he said reaching for her arm. Jessica yanked her arm away then grabbed her rips in pain. She looked at Heero with wide eyes and said
"Please don't touch me," she said with a softer expression. It killed Heero to see her like this; he didn't know what to do. Then it hit him. She was rapped of course she'll act like this.
"Jess, I would never hurt you, ever," Heero said shortly (he still hated the mushy stuff) Jessica looked him in the eye. Heero could tell she was reading his feelings. She made up her mind. Heero went slowly to her arms again she let him. She closed her eyes tightly as if waiting for a blow. Heero took his hand off. Jessica opened her eyes. Heero went this time for her beautiful face that was full of fear. She let Heero stroke her face. She still starred at him, watching him. Jessica sat up. She grabbed her ribs and continued using on arm. Heero put his hands on her shoulders and said,
"Lie back down," He put her gently down.
"You need rest," Heero said looking at her. Then Jessica smiled. Heero was shocked; then again, Jessica always smiled.
"Thank you Heero. I have a feeling you took good care of me," she reached up toward Heero and grabbed his arm. She pulled him toward her and kissed him on the forehead. Her arm fell to her side, she winced.
"Are you in a lot of pain?" asked Heero with concerning eyes. Jessica nodded,
"but nothing I can bare." She half smiled.
"I'll go tell the doctors that you're up," Heero left. He could skip down the hall he was so happy, she's awake and she'll be doing fine. On the way out he stopped, looked at the Gundam boys who were waiting eagerly and said
"Go in, but be careful she doesn't have a lot of trust," They nodded.
They walked in her room.
"Jessica you doing all right?" asked Duo slowly. Jessica narrowed her eyes at them.
"We won't hurt you," said Quatre. Jessica looked at them and nodded. They walked up to her bedside.
"So, are you alright," asked Duo.
"Um, I guess so," Jessica answered.
"When you fell up to it, tell us who this guy was," said Duo kindly. Jessica's eyes started getting watery. Duo shook his hands
"No it's alright then you don't have to!" Duo said quickly. Jessica shook her head.
"Please go get Heero," Jessica looked up at them and Quatre smiled kindly at her.
"I think I understand, come on lets go," Quatre lead the way out of the room. A couple seconds later Heero arrived and said that he couldn't find the doctors.
"Heero, that- that man is well he's," Just at that moment another man walked into the room. Jessica widened her eyes.
"So I see you're alive," the man said with cold eyes. Tears were forming in Jessica's eyes.
"No, no go away, I don't want you hear!" when Jessica said that Heero stood up immediately.
"Get out!" Heero said dangerously. The man turned and saw Heero, his eyes widen.
"You-him no wonder I can't believe this. SO did you tell…"
"GET OUT!" Jessica screamed. Heero pushed the man out and closed the door. Heero started walking away but the door opened again. Heero pulled out his gun.
"Get out now, or I'll kill you," The man know Heero met business. He smirked at Jessica and left.
"I'll be back tramp," he shouted after closing the door. At his last comment, Heero cocked his gun but Jessica said,
"Heero kill him later I need to talk to you," Heero knelt next to her bed. They herd Duo yell at the man outside.
"Well I don't work for Howard, I lied, I work for- Heero please don't hate me- Oz," At that Heero jumped up and shock his head.
"Big deal, just quit," Heero said his heart was sinking fast he wasn't going to let her go never!
"They tried to kill me. Those two men work for Oz. I didn't complete my mission so they- so they- tried to kill me,"
"What was your mission?" asked Heero with his heart sinking faster and further then ever.
"To find out information on you and your Gundam and friends that could kill you," Jessica hung her head.
"So this was all an act," Heero asked outraged. Jessica shook her head quickly.
"No, no please Heero, It was suppose to be, but the minute I saw you and identified you, I know that I couldn't. There was Oz people in the hotel so I had to stay with you or else I wouldn't have done this mission period. I couldn't kill you or deliver information, so I planed to hideout here, but they found me," Heero pulled out his gun and pointed it at her. Heero was trying with all his might not to break down.
"How do I know if you just want protection, so you're staying here," said Heero.
"Because- because I love you," Jessica whispered. Heero shook his head.
"You're lying!" Heero turned around and left the room.
"NO, please Heero," Jessica called back to him. Jessica buried her face in her hands. She felt her warm tears trickle down her face into her hands. 'Why did she tell him? He must have made a big deal when I go hurt. I wish I never met him then I couldn't of broke his heart. I should of let that guy from Oz kill me' these thoughts were going though her head.' If I'm not in Oz anymore then who do I work for?' 'Heero'
"Duo, Duo," Jessica called. If anyone can make Heero see it would be Duo.
Duo walked in.
"What happened with Heero?" Duo asked looking at me. I told him the whole story.
"Man! So you- do you like us or are you playing?" Duo asked fingering his gun.
"That's the while point! I do love Heero and you guys are great friends, I couldn't do it," Duo looked Jessica and was silent for a little while and said,
"So who do work for now?"
"No one," Jessica answered looking down. Duo nodded and left the room. Jessica knew that he understood what he had to do.
Duo ran down the hall looking for Heero, he finally found him all the way in his room. Duo walked in and Heero looked up at him. For once in Heero's life, he looked worried and lost.
"Heero, listen to me, Jessica really does love you," Duo sat down besides Heero. Heero looked back at his hands. Heero didn't say anything. Heero had opened up his heart, she ripped it out, and he never had a heart really to begin with.
"Listen I think you guys would of met, even if she wasn't on OZ, which she isn't anymore,"
"What do you mean, that we're met for each other?" asked Heero in his normal voice with a little more enthusiasm.
Duo nodded and smiled at Heero's shocked face.
"I'm going crazy! I fell weird, I'm not my normal self, something is forming inside me. Then she damaged it, not killing it." Heero said tonelessly.
"Your not going crazy bud, it's called love. You said it your self before, that you love her. You were upset and your true feelings came out, not your insanity. She didn't kill that thing (which is your heart) because you still love her," answered Duo wisely.
"I'm not sure if I believe her, women play games. I do- I do love her though," Heero said sounding a bit like Quatre.
"Now was that so hard," Duo smiled at Heero. "I think she feels the same way. Did you-you know, get some?" asked Duo blushing a bit. Heero snapped his head up at him.
"It's none of your business," said Heero annoyed.
"All I'm saying that if you did and she liked it, and she went far but not all the way she isn't playing," Duo smiled nervously. Heero raised his eyebrows at Duo 'had she enjoyed it, I think she did. We went far but not all the way. Why am I thinking about this? I'm a soldier,'
"So was she good?" Duo looked hopefully at Heero to see if he could get something out of him but Heero narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Ok, Ok just asking. Fine. Heero, when it comes to love there is no perfect soldier, remember that," said Duo getting up and leaving.
Heero sat on his bed thinking about what Duo had said. Heero gave up on all his 'what's happening to me, why am I doing this, I shouldn't care,' thoughts. Now his thoughts were 'is she telling the truth?'
