It was a good day at school and Jess was doing PT just walking with her therapist when suddenly she felt a weird presence as if it something she knows she shake it off and kept moving. The next thing she felt a strong pinch in her back and another plus another. Her PT Sarah noticed her back And blood going through her shirt and panics as Jessica weakly walked to the side of the wall. Jessica noticed her stomach and hand.
"Ugh! Sarah where's Archie or Jughead?"
She felt everything going numb as she tried to keep herself holding up as Fang sees her and holds her but instead she slide down against the wall and she felt like she couldn't breath.
"I'm gonna get help!"
Sarah run to find Archie. As Fang stayed with Jess, she weakly grabs her cell and message Archie and Jughead.
"Guys.... I'm scared I can't move everything feeling numb. I can't breathe help...please? Fang is with me."
Archie was walking to social studies when his cell gave a notification he then panic as he read her message.
Remembering she in PT, he ran to PT office and found Sarah. Sarah took him to the hallway. Bracing himself for what he was going to see, he prayed that it was not serious. Once he got there he froze. It was eerily similar to how his Dad was but this was his sister at heart.
"JESS!"
She was gasping for air as Archie try to stop the bleeding. He said calmly knowing from her text her body is numb but wanted to see for himself.
"I'm here. Can you grab me?"
She tried to move her head, arms and legs and she couldn't just couldn't.
"It ok I'm going to call 911 just stay with me."
She was alert for a good amount of time just looking at Archie.
Jughead was in math when he saw Jessica message and run to find Jess.
"Where are you?"
Halfway through the call Archie was doing Jughead made it for Jessica and tried not to cry seeing the sight in front of him. Jessica was really trying to hold on and the next thing the room started spinning. She felt like she couldn't keep her eyes open that when she began to lose consciousness trying to shake it off and Jughead noticed right away.
"Hold on Love you got this."
He turned to Archie.
"Are they coming? She losing consciousness and lord she trying so hard to hold on."
She looks at Archie and Jug one last time and then darkness took over her vision and her head dropped signaling that she no longer can hold her head up.
NO stay awake!!!" Jughead screamed.
Archie noticed Jessica's eyes slowly closed as well while watching her head drop down he mumbled.
"No no no."
Jug head got down try to stop the bleeding then get all the Serpents together.
"More tissues!"
Jughead said.
The ambulance finally came and took Jessica as Jughead went with Archie they followed the ambulance. Archie called his Dad.
Fred answers.
"Hello son."
Archie was crying.
"We're on our way to the hospital."
Fred said.
"What going on?"
Archie said.
"It's Jess! I'm scared."
Fred said.
"I'm on my way."
Jessica was taken to the OR and everyone waited. Hours later she was settled in her bedroom hook up to a ventilator and the doctors said she is a quadriplegia, is paralysis caused by illness or injury that results in the partial or total loss of use of all four limbs and torso from the neck down, Rely on the ventilator and needs 24/7 care as he said to Fred and everyone.
Archie said.
"Can we see her?"
The doctor brought everyone up.
Archie kissed her forehead gently.
"I'm sorry sis."
Jughead felt bad as well.
"Whoever did this? I will get him!"
Fred teared up as he reflected the milestones she has achieved and overcome so much when she was born now all erased away.
"I feel like I LET HER DAD DOWN!"
Archie had to comfort his dad knowing seeing every photo that his dad taken. He really did witnessed it all that Jessica worked so hard for. Drs say to Jessica parents she wouldn't talk, walk, see and she defy them all.
"No you didn't Dad, we will celebrate the new milestones I promise you."
Jessica was in a coma for awhile and everyone Jughead, Archie and Fred didn't leave her side. It wasn't until Father's Day that she woken up.
The sun has shine through her window when she was coming to. Jess listened to a song blast through the hallway as worship make her smile.
They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
'Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
She sang along a little as her eyes opened. She looked around sensing she in the hospital, She sees Archie asleep next to her on a cot holding her hand. She then sees Fred asleep resting against the wall. Jughead on the other side of her bed on the cot asleep holding her other hand.
She didn't feel comfortable on her bed she wanted to cuddle with her dad since it Father's Day.
"Daddy?"
She weakly called to Fred.
Fred stirred a bit and she said again.
"Daddy?"
The doctor came in the room saying.
"Oh Jess you're awake."
Fred woke up seeing her saying.
"Yes Doctor."
He got out of his chair and walked over to her. The doctor explained everything letting Jess know she a quadriplegic and she needs 24/7 care and rely on a ventilator now.
Jessica said.
"I did figure it out as soon as I realize that I couldn't get back up everything went numb."
The doctor said.
"I will write a script for a different power chair."
She said.
"Thank you."
The doctor left.
Fred whispered.
You are awake."
Jessica smiled.
"Happy Father's Day."
Fred teared up with joy took out his phone and took a photo and captioned on insta.
FredA: Best gift ever. Matthew and Emily our girl is awake. Thank you for watching over her.
He tagged Archie and Jughead and their notifications from Instagram woke them.
Archie rubbed his eyes and see Jessica awake.
"Oh sissy!" He kissed her forehead.
Jessica smile.
Jughead looks up at Jessica he could breathe again.
"Baby oh my goodness."
The two kissed.
"What could we do for you?" He asked.
Jessica said.
"The bed I am not comfortable at all."
Archie scooped her out of bed as he is carefully aware she can no longer move or hold herself up.
"Where you want to go?"
Jessica said.
"Daddy."
Archie walked over to Fred as Jughead brings her IVs and made sure her tube that is attached to the ventilator was long enough. Fred held her close as she snuggled up to him.
"Happy Father's Day, Dad."
Fred kissed her forehead gently as she fell back asleep.
Archie took a photo of them sleeping and use a throwback to a side by side comparison from when his dad and Jess were younger Jess was 3 years old same position too in the same hospital room no less.
AAndrews: Happy Father's Day Dad! Jessica, thank you for a wonderful miracle!
