This chapter takes place after The Taking of Crows. I hope you like it and it has been beta read so I hope that it is better. Please keep reviewing and I'll try to get another chapter up soon. If you finish this chapter quickly why don't you go and try out the other story I am writing at the same time called Evolution.

Lexa sat in her room trying to read a magazine. She couldn't believe everything that had happened in the last 72 hours. Shalimar had filled her in on all the stuff she had missed. It was now the evening after the day they had stopped the dangerous drug operation and the day after she had nearly died. Again she turned a page over without even looking at it. Her mind was somewhere else completely. She couldn't help but think about what had saved her, or should she say who had saved her. His words kept repeating in her head. "If it wasn't for personal feelings you wouldn't be standing here right now." Personal feelings, Lexa laughed to herself. Now all she had to do was figure it all out. Another couple of pages got turned over without acknowledgment before she threw the magazine on the floor and stood up. She started to pace, unsure what do to. Jesse had revealed to her that he had personal feelings for her even if the extent of these feelings were unknown. Finally she decided to take action. She pulled open the door with force and bravely took the small amount of steps needed to reach Jesse's door. Lifting her hand up confidently she knocked on the wooden barrier. There was no answer so she knocked again. She knew that if she didn't talk to him tonight then she would never talk to him. A second later she heard a muffled voice giving her an invitation. Now she was scared, slowly she opened the door, peering round to see where Jesse was. He was in bed, he looked like her had just woken up. She flicked the light switch on and closed the door behind her and walked up closer to the bed.
"Did I wake you?" She asked, a little bit guilty. She knew he hadn't been to sleep since the first incident at the club.
"Doesn't matter, what did you want?" He sat up in bed a bit and rubbed his eyes to try and wake himself up.
"Shalimar told me everything" She started, as she spoke she walked round his room slowly picking up objects and turning them round in her hands. She tried not to look in his eyes knowing how open his feelings would be. "How you stopped me from hurting people at the club, then carried me to that doctor. Brennan butted into the conversation by telling me you went back to the club and beat the hell out of that barman. Who knew you spoke Italian?…. Shalimar also told me how you didn't stop worrying about me, how you were the only one who wanted to tell me I was dying and then when you had done more than enough you risked you life going into that building for the antidote. I don't know if could have done the same. Especially if it was personal feelings that made me do it. I'm not exactly willing to share my most intimate thoughts and feelings. I wanted to thank you for saving my life. You saved it not because I was a team-mate but because I'm your friend and I want you to know that whatever happens in the future, you have to be patient with me" Lexa looked round for the first time, wanting to know to know what Jesse was thinking. She smiled as she saw him. Half sitting up in bed his head was lying to one side his eyes close as his breath evened out. He had fallen asleep. She should have known that he would have been too tired to listen to a word she said. She didn't mind. She had said the words out loud and that was enough for her. She walked up to the bed and sat on the side.
"Sweet dreams Jesse" She spoke softly, gently moving some hair away from his eyes. She pulled his bedcover further up his body, turning the light off before silently leaving the room.
