Thank You For Waking Up

“You struggle so much, you b*tch!” The man said grabbing Jessica’s hair.

“Arghhh!” Though it hurts, Jessica struggles.

In her past life, due to her young age, she comes with them without fighting fearing they will hurt her or kill her.

She was brought to a Club and was given as a gift.

After experiencing all those horrible things, she rather die than to repeat such misery.

“You really want to anger me huh!

Jessica closed her eyes.

As she wait for the punch to her face.

But it didn’t reach her.

She looks up as the hand grabbing her hair disappear.

Seth’s guard has punched the man.

Breathing heavily.

Jessica looks at the men with a bleeding mouth and Seth’s guard.

There are other men coming closer.

Her eyes trembles.

“The boss wants to talk to you. Do you want to come—”

“I’ll go!” Jessica said and hurriedly to the car waiting.

She went inside and then looks back.

The men are all looking at the car with a strange faces.

Jessica closed her eyes and take a deep breath.

“You are bold enough to injure me.

Jessica looks beside her and see Seth Vastian. He is cold and known as an eccentric person.

For him, people are just animals.

Jessica takes a deep breath.

“I’m sorry. But If I didn’t do that…I won’t be able to come close.” She said and kneel in the seat facing the arrogant boss.

“Make me your pet! I will be the most loyal pet!

She said.

Seth starts laughing but it is dry and cold.

“What can you do as a pet?

“I can be a perfect pet! I will soothe you, I will play with you, I will always be with you. I will not leave you.

Jessica said.

Seth’s lips twitch.

“You think you are so smart huh.

Jessica looks down.

‘It seems all I can do is jump in the bridge and die.

“Will you not take me in?

Jessica asks.

Seth grins.

“I am not that stupid.

‘Thought so..

She thinks she is unreasonable.

Nobody will take her seriously, even Seth Vastian.

She is doomed to die.

It is better than to repeat the past life.

Death is 1million times better.

“Can you…drop me to the xx bridge?

“Hmm?” Seth smiles.

That bridge is famous for many people committing suicide.

He snickers.

“That won’t work on me. Haven’t you heard that I am heartless?

Jessica smiles.

“I heard you are a weirdo…I never heard you are heartless. Don’t worry. I will not bother you again.

Seth thought this woman will be interesting. It appears she is like all the calculative women out there appealing to people’s heart by acting.

“Drive to the xx bridge.” Seth said.

Sadly, he is not like other men who would care.

Upon arriving to the bridge, Seth told the guard to open the door for Jessica.

Jessica smiles.

In the end, she is still glad that Seth helps her.

“Thank you for---”

Seth raised his hand.

“Just go.

Jessica bows her head and left.

“Boss…” The driver saw the woman steps in the bridge.

“She won’t jump. Let’s g—”

Plop.

Seth looks back and saw no woman in the bridge.

So many people stop and look back.

“A woman jump!

Seth heart is beating so fast.

His mind is thinking.

It seems the woman is escaping dangerous men..

She is so desperate to have his attention…And then the last piece…She jumps not hesitating if she will die…No…She plans to die.

“Call AEROL!

He shouted.

**

Upon contact with water she was attack by pain as her lungs was almost crushed.

She descends faster than she thought.

Good thing she didn’t know how to swim.

Her body try to paddle despite her desire to die.

The pain makes her want to rise above.

But….

Why would she go up?

There is nothing in there.

She slowly close her eyes.

‘This is the best…This is better…’

SO many noises buzzing in her ears.

Let her sleep.

She wants to sleep in eternity.

This is better than her past life.

Cough.

Cough..

She throws up a lot of water as her eyes where filled with lights.

‘What is happening?

A face of a man looking down at her makes her smiles a bit.

‘Seth Vastian…..I am really…..grateful of you….Let me thank you at least before I die….

Seth frowns seeing the unconscious woman smile softly as if she is not in the verge of dying.

“Is she fine?

“She is too cold. Her blood pressure is going down.

We need to bring her to the hospital.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Seth glares at them.

Two choppers are flying up in the sky.

30 life boats with 5-10 people came to rescue a single woman.

There are ambulance waiting at four different locations.

Seth angrily clicked his tongue.

“What a troublesome pet you are.

He said grinding his teeth in anger.

..

Jessica looks around.

She is in a huge room.

No.

There are medical equipment’s and she has an IV attach in her.

But can there be any hospital that looks like a hotel room?

She is confused.

“The cafeteria’s food sucks.” The nurse laugh upon entering the room.

Jessica stares at her.

“Ma’am! You are awake! Let me call Sir Vastian!

The nurse said as she trembles to reach her phone.

She almost drop her phone twice before she finally put the phone to her ears.

Jessica tilts her head.

She wants to drink water and asks questions but it seems calling Sir Vastian is the most important.

‘Vastian? Seth Vastian?’ she remembers the last person she saw before she lost consciousness. But she thought it is just her being delusional.

‘So Seth Vastian help me? He did? Is that also the reason why I am still here and not with those people?

“Yes. Sir. She is awake now.

What she said? She haven’t….” The nurse looks at Jessica.

“…water.” She said with difficulty.

“…yes. Her first word is water…Y-yes sir! Yes, I will order mineral water immediately! Ah! Yes. Mineral water in the cup board? Yes! I forgot. I am sorry Sir! Yes I will do my best.

The nurse keep lowering her head in the phone.

Jessica thinks it is funny.

‘…..you should call the doctor first if your patient wakes up in the movies. In real life, it is the one who is paying the bill? But I think that is more realistic. It’s not like doctors are always avai---’

“Why didn’t you call me first?! Is the patient awake?

“Doctor..Sorry..I panic.” The nurse said.

The doctor stares at Jessica.

“Ma’am…Thank you for waking up..

Jessica finds it funny so she smile softly.
