1"You don't need to worry about Jed hurting you anymore."
Lisa sank to the floor, her face yielding a blank expression. "Jackson...you didn't..."
Jackson breathed in deeply. "I killed him."
Lisa looked up at him and gasped. She ran to her room. Jackson followed.
"Lisa, he was a killer," Jackson explained desparately.
"He was your brother," she winced.
"He hurt you, and killed the baby," Jackson stated simply, and left Lisa to hre tears. It killed him to leaver her, sobbing, but he had to. It was all part of the healing process. Or so said Dr. Phil.
Lisa was bedridden for a few days, still getting over the shock of the miscarriage and death. Finally, one day Lisa woke up, the sun shining brightly in her face. She decided she wasn't the type of person to just lay around and cry. She quickly hopped out of bed and clicked on her cd player. Car Song by Elastica blared out. She danced around the room to the music as she picked out clothes from her closet, unaware of the figure in the doorway. Lisa continued to make the bed.
Enough sulking, she decided. It would get her nowhere. That sick bastard was gone, Jackson no longer would have to be an assassin, and she would eventually have children. She switched cds, her back still to the door, and listened as the sweet music of John Lennon poured out. "Oh, my love, for the first time in my life..."
Lisa sang softly along to the words, her voice perfectly on tune. She sang as she spread out her clothes and turned on the iron. As she turned to iron them, she felt a hand on her waist and a voice in her ear,
"Oh, my love, for the first time in my life...my eyes can see," Jackson sang, his head on her shoulder.
Lisa embarrassed, put her head down. Jackson kissed her neck gently and held her hands in one of his.
"I love you," he told her softly.
"I love you, too," she whispered.
Jackson made Lisa breakfast and they sate together.
"I'm glad you're recovering, Leese," he told her sincerely. "I was worried."
She smiled. "Bad things happen to good people, right?"
He paused, smiled, then spoke again. "I went to a job interview yesterday."
Lisa's ears perked up. "Really? Where?"
"The Lux."
Lisa stared at him, and then fainted.
