Continued from: The+Streets+of+LondonSunflower helped Jess up the stairs of the cozy Inn and in to her room. It was painted the color that the Inn was named after and quite large. She closed the door behind them and watched as Jess sat down in a chair and closed her eyes. "S'allready workin s'magic."

Jess took a long drawn out breath and felt the beginnings of a smile on her face "I've been living in that alley for a good while, I thought I could take it you know? Thought I could find a way to live on the streets, thousands of people do it everyday, why couldn't I?"

"Well yer aloive aint ya? That's saying somethin" Sunflower pulled off her jacket and walked over to the fire place "OI think a fire's in order, yea?" Smiling she grabbed a couple of large logs and some kindling and light it was a long match, to her own delight it light almost immediately, she warmed her hands and turned back to Jess, who appeared to be slowly falling asleep.
"Miss Jess, woy don't we get them clothes off ya before you pass out in that chair."

Jess felt ten times lighter and more aware of her own smell than ever "Most of them are mine I took from the hotel, the others are ones that I found." She looked over at a calender on the wall and gulped "It's been a year hasn't it?"

Jess nodded and slipped in to the bathroom, leaving the door unlocked. She turned the knobs and got the water at hot as she could stand it and then began to undress, she'd shower before she took a bath, because she knew damn well, if she took a bath first she'd turn the water black.
After a couple minutes of eeps and ow's at the water hit her body she began to wash. Although the water was quite hot she could feel the heat of the tears on her face as she moved the soap on to the sensitive rashes and sores she had procured over time.
After about a half hour of this she placed the plug in the drain and sat down, the water still hurt, but she knew that meant good things.
"Sunflower?"

"Ere O'I am love, O'I found me-" but she stopped mid-sentence as she moved through the door and looked upon Jess's frail body, full of bruises and cuts and all things unpleasant. She swallowed hard and kneeled down next to the tub.
"You look 'orrible."

Jess couldn't help but chuckle as she brought her knee's to her chest "To think the last time you saw me I was over 200 pounds."

Jess smiled as Sunflower worked her magic on her hair, she sat in the tub until the water ran cold and then they ran warmer water. She was a prune by the time she was finished and Jess didn't mind. Sunflower had offered to let her get out, but she said she liked it better in the water and that she wouldn't leave until she was done.
Sadly though, Sunflower could only salvage her hair to above her shoulders.
Jess didn't mind, because when she was finished she felt ten times better.

"Oh yea I ordered dinner while you was showerin."

"Ohmuhgod" she ran over to the food, there was everything she could have dreamed up at that moment there "I uh, wow I, don't have any money, I can't-" Jess stammered.

Sunflower laughed and pulled Jess in to a seat "Don't you worry about it none" she smiled "now remember ts eat slowly, or yer gonna get churself a tummy ache."
Sunflower sat down on the other side of the table and began to eat.
