Chapter 8
Jonas lay on an infirmary bed. Right after Jesse had come in, and he was still in pain, she had insisted that he go to the infirmary. He was sleeping at this moment. It seemed Jack had fractured a rib and Jonas was given painkillers that knocked him out.
Jesse had fallen asleep on the bed next to him and was awakened when someone taped her shoulder.
"Who is it?" asked Jesse.
"Me." Said a voice.
Jesse reacted quickly and turned around to face Bryan Maybourne. "Um, Tanner?" she asked.
"If you're referring to this universe's version of me I should tell you that I'm not him."
"My Bryan?"
"Your Bryan?" he asked questionably.
"You know what I mean."
"Yes I do."
"Why are you here?" Jesse asked.
"I needed to talk to you about the NID."
"What do you know?" she asked.
"You're in danger. Stop working on the mole assignment. Get reassigned."
"I can't."
"Please Jesse it's only going to end badly."
"How?"
"Someone's going to end up dead!" Bryan screamed.
"Who, you or rather him?"
"You saw it, right?."
"Yeah."
"Don't believe it Jesse."
"Believe what?"
"Everything you see."
"Bryan it was like before---before you know."
He nodded. "I know."
"And like before I was taken over by Har'mon. The dream I had in Daniel's apartment."
"Yeah, about Daniel's apartment."
"What about it?"
"Well you should know that---" Bryan then snapped his mouth shut. "No, never mind."
"Okay, whatever. "Jesse didn't press that situation. " What do you know about the NID?"
"You can't change what's going to happen."
"Where is this building located?"
"Jesse, it's not going to help."
"What does the NID have there besides failed weapons?"
"JESSE!"
"What?" she asked.
"Don't try."
"I have too."
Bryan closed his eyes. "You remember that chain of events I told you about." Jesse nodded. "You'll change it."
"What does it matter I don't know what happens in that chain anyway."
"Do you really want to live with a live of maybes and could have been or what ifs?"
Jesse sat silently as he looked to the ceiling. "I got to go. Your boyfriend's waking up. Enjoy it while you can."
The next thing Jesse heard was a faint call of her name.

"Jessica." Jonas said.
Jesse slowly opened her eyes and found another pair, the beautiful pair of green eyes that belonged to Jonas. They were laced with concern and a hint of something else that she couldn't pick up. He had learned how to put up walls in his mind to block off what he didn't want her to hear. The mystery emotion stayed just that.
"You okay." He asked.
"I'm fine." She said. "Are you okay?"
"I'm good." He said in that all too familiar gesture of kissing her knuckles. She smiled and looked around realizing where they were.
"You took me home?" she asked.
"You were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you. Daniel drove us over."
"I should thank him later."
"Yeah but for now." Jonas planted a full kiss on her mouth that lasted long and pleased both of them. "Want something to eat?"
"Shouldn't you lay down? Dad hit you pretty badly."
"It wasn't really that hard I think I was just winded."
"So you didn't fracture a rib."
"It felt like it but no."
That got a smile out of Jesse before she pulled him back down to the sofa. She kissed him on the lips and dragged him to a laying position on the sofa. After they pulled apart Jesse uttered the three words that Jonas wanted to hear, "I love you." She said staring straight into his eyes.
He smiled and said, "I love you too." They went in for another kiss.
