A Second Chance

Chapter 15: The Grand Finale

A) Stop running and confront your friends.

Jessie's P.O.V.
  My hands slowly removed my mask. I let the mask fall to the ground and stood there, looking at my friends for the first time in two years without a mask. Everyone stood there for about a minute, just staring at me.

"I'm sorry guys. I should have told you sooner." I couldn't look them in the eye. "I know you all probably hate me right now for not telling you..." I trailed off as I squeezed my eyes tighter, trying not to let the tears fall.

"JESSE!!!" I looked up as everyone shouted and ran towards me, drowning me in a group hug. "But how?!" "You've been here the whole time?!" "Why didn't you tell us?!" "Jesse is that really you?!" They flooded me with questions.

"Ok! OK! I missed you all too, but we have more important things to do this very second!" I said smothered by everyone hugging me.

"Jesse's right!" Lukas said as he let go.

"What?!" the voice boomed, "They were supposed to hate you! You lied to them for nearly two years! You tricked them by becoming their friend 'Jennifer'!" The whole room shook. We all struggled to keep our balance.

"That's the thing Herobrine! They're my friends! They accept me for I am and I should have remembered that!" I shouted back at him.

"Well, if I can't tear you apart mentally, then I'll have to do it physically!" He yelled. He appeared in front of us and charged right for Petra.

Time slowed as I saw him run up to her. I didn't think as I felt myself running at Herobrine before he could get to her. I slammed into his side with my sword drawn. I knocked him out of the way just in time, but that didn't stop him from bringing up his own sword.

He quickly brought up the sword and swung it hard. He left a deep gash running through my torso. I didn't notice right away, as I had stabbed him right through the chest when he came at me.

He fell to the ground on his knees and looked up at me. He smiled evilly at me as his pail white eyes locked with mine. "You have defeated me this time, but mark my words," he whispered, "I WILL get my revenge on you, Jesse..." and with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

I stood up weakly and tried to take a step forward. Pain shot though my entire body as I held my stomach. "We did it..." I said sheepishly. Then, everything went black as I felt myself collapse.

Lukas's P.O.V.
"Jesse!" I caught her before she fell. She had a nasty cut across her stomach, and it was dripping with blood.

"No, no, no!" I yelled. "I never thought I would get to see you again!" I was crying, holding on to her. She wasn't moving. The others looked at me sadly, not knowing what to say or do.

"I finally got a second chance to say I..." I let out a soft cry, "that I love you." My head hung as I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I felt her moving in my arms. My eyes shot open to see Jesse coughing weakly.

"Guys! She's alive! Does anyone have a potion of healing or anything?" I turned around to see them scrambling looking through their inventories.

"Here!" Petra shouted holding up a red-tinted potion. She ran over and gave the potion to Jesse. She quickly drank it and sat up. The blood was lightening up.

"Well, I can't let you get rid of me that easily!" she beamed, looking at all of us. I hugged her tightly as I felt tears of joy in my eyes. Soon everyone else crushed us in another giant group hug.

After everyone let go of Jesse, I walked up to her.

"Hey Jesse," I said looking down, "About what happened earlier. In the heat of the moment I might have said some things-" she cut me off with a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you too." she whispered. She smiled at me and I felt my cheeks heat up as I smiled back. "And thanks for keeping me updated, even if you were talking to a statue." she smirked as she walked back towards everyone else.

Wait what does she mean by...oh no. She was listening to me?! All those times I thought I was just paranoid, was her? I started to blush even harder as I followed her back to the others.

Everyone laughed when they saw how red I had gotten. Petra and Olivia high-fived each other.

We all kept hugging Jesse and begging her to tell us how she survived. She just kept saying that she would tell us everything once we were home.

"Let's go home guys!" Jesse said. "We better go find Ruben and tell him about our adventure." We started to walk towards the exit and I caught up to her.

"So," I took a deep breath before continuing. "I was just wondering ifyouwantedtogoonadateorsomething when we got back." She looked at me, confused for a second before smiling softly.

"It's a date," She said. I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. I walked next to her, holding her hand.

"What's that?" Olivia said looking in front of us. There was a strange light coming closer and closer. We tried to run as fast as we could, but it was too fast.

"JESSE!" I shouted, reaching out for her. Her hand out stretched to mine was the last thing I saw before everything was completely white.

Author's Note: Lol, you thought it was over. Well actually, the next chapter will be the last one. But you won't have to wait that long because it's already written. Probably just come back tomorrow.
