Jason gets out of the vehicle, calls 911 to get an ambulance, gets over to the other side of the car, passing by the driver's seat, quickly checking Dante, seeing him leaning on the steering wheel, on the copilot's seat he sees Jessica, still, sitting straight, silent tears streaking her cheeks, he leans towards her and softly wipes her tear streaked cheeks, knowing he still has to check on Becca, he goes to the back seat, opening the door and seeing Becca, in shock, not moving an inch, a blank expression on her face, he leans towards her, caresses her face and asks her "How are you feeling?". Becca bursts in tears sobbing loudly, all the stress slamming her soul suddenly, Jason lovingly leans to kiss her tears from her cheeks, wiping the rest of her tears and streaks trying to clear her face from tears, but new ones are replacing the first tears.

Not a minute passed when the EMTs arrived, one experienced guy in his early 40's, a younger EMT-intermediate on his late 20's and a young 17 year old girl who is studying to become an EMT. The one in charge briefly assesses the situation and tells the EMT to take care of the girl in the copilot seat and he went straight to the driver. The girl went to Jason to start asking fact finding questions, after the quick initial ABC assessment, seeing no compromise in the airways, breathing and circulation, they started to extract Dante and both guys took him to the ambulance, meanwhile the girl opened the copilot's door, barely leaning on Jessica's thigh (making sure she doesn't get hurt) she offered words of comfort, and, seeing her silent tears, she instinctively brought both her hands (she hadn't put her gloves yet) to her cheeks and tenderly wiped her cheeks clean of tears. The guys came back and each checked a girl, the young guy went to Becca and they decided to place a collar to Jess first, and immobilize her on the board, Becca wasn't really injured and could even walk, but they decided to take her anyways to discard internal bleeding.

A backup ambulance came so they each took two patients, the girls went on the first one and the guys on the second one, which was driven by a guy in his lower 30's, and the two EMTs were female in their 20's, Jason was only taken for a checkup to discard internal damage, so he seated on the corner of the ambulance, while the two girls took care of Dante, who, seeing the dimension of his mistake, started crying, trying to suppress tears with all his will, he felt ashamed crying in front of both girls. The one who was filling the medical sheet took her gloves off, especially since there were no bodily fluids, to write more comfortable. The other one was busy enough taking vitals and other injuries. When the one who wrote the sheet finished, she went back to the patient, seeing him in tears broke her heart and she told him that every thing would turn out just fine as she slowly wiped the tears that slowly crawled down the outer corners of his eyes.

A few days go by, Jessica just spent the night in observation, but Dante spent almost a week recovering, the day when Dante leaves the hospital Jessica couldn't be there, a relative went to pick him up. Jason stayed with Jessica, she spent the whole day crying on and off. Jason asked for the day off to take care of his sister, he spent the whole day with her, giving her her medication, kissing and wiping her tears, helping her take a shower. He called Becca a few times to check on her, but his sister came first.

Next day, Becca, not able to be apart from Jason and knowing he has to take care of his sister, went to their home. As soon as she arrived, their parents opened the door, Becca was surprised, she didn't expect them to open the door, she was speechless. Jason came to the door, smiling at Becca and went in for a hug: "Thank you for coming, I really missed you. Mom, dad, my girlfriend Becca." Jason's parents smiled, he held her hand and led her to the room where Jessica was.

Jessica, seeing Rebecca, had a flashback of the accident and tears quickly filled her eyes and streamed down her cheeks in several trails, leaving thick streaks on her fair face. Jason was stunned, he didn't expect this reaction, Becca, on the other hand, immediately went to her side and very tenderly wiped her tears, one by one, some with the pads of her fingers, others with the back of her fingers and a few more with her thumbs, not letting a single tear drop from her face and not leaving trace of streaks when her crying fit ended.

After a few weeks of planning, in the end they decide not to go to the Halloween party, Dante said to Jessica he felt something was not right celebrating Halloween, so they decide to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner, Jason and Jessica's parents invite Rebecca, her parents and her brother. The two families get along pretty well, but Dante feels a bit like an outsider, as he went alone, he lost his father and he went to live out by himself to try to earn a living, his mother is with his sister, he sends them a modest amount monthly to, at least, sustain them. Jessica notices and softly slides her hand under the table and caresses his thigh comfortingly.

Dante smiles, as he feels understood and comforted, in gratitude he tries to return the gesture, he has a fork in one hand and he slides the other under the table, brushing Jessica's hand and arm, reaching for her thigh, feeling the fabric of her dress, as he goes down to her knee he involuntarily gasps when the dress ends, his fingers bump into the hem and continue along warm, soft skin.

Jessica finds it extremely sweet and romantic, she decides to tease him, she opens her legs a bit, sliding his hand to her lower inner thigh, near her knee, and starts bouncing her leg, making it jiggle, she gives Dante a discrete look and smiles at him as she feels her thigh jiggle in his hand.

Dante blushes, feeling his heartbeat and breathing rise.

Jason hints Becca to turn and look at them as he notices that something is going on under that table. He smiles at them...
