I couldn't sleep.
My cousin cried all night.
My fingers smell like gummy bears.
Those were the random comments of the week... Now LETS BEGIN!!!
----------------------------------------------
Jay's P.O.V.
'Use me to travel to where we first met'.
— I gotta go guys...—I said, opening a small portal.
I corssed the portal, and I was in the park where I met her long ago. I searched for her, but she wasn't here. I walked to the tree where we spend out last play date together. It had a note on the trunk.
"Here is where you first saw me, where I first saw you. Where I fell for you. Where we met again is the next clue".
— Where we met again, that's easy —I said to myself.
In the blink of an eye, I was on that street where I first saw her, as teens, were I helped her. There was another note, this stuck against a trash container's side.
A "(Sorry for the place)" was written in parenthesis. That made me chuckle before focusing on the second clue. "You said you never saved me, but here. The hero you'd be. Travel to were we first blush and the 3rd clue you'll see".
— Where we first blushed? Ermmm, uhhhh... THE MONASTERY!—I said.
I open a small portal towards the monastery. The guys greeted me with suspicious chuckles.
— Busy?—Cole chuckled.
— Yeah, I'll talk later—I said, walking to Paty's room.
Here we talked the first time, she was laying on the floor and this room actually looked as part of a Monastery, and those eyes trapped me, we both end up blushing madly. I confirmed my thoughts, when I saw a small note. "Very good hon'. Blushed hard, blush like mad. To the next clue, go to where a kiss went bad."
— Uhhhhh...... the main hall, we almost kissed, but Nya 'sneezed'—I said, with quotating marks in sneezed.
— What are you 2 doing?—Erika asked.
— I'll explain later...—I said, not really paying attention.
I walked to the main hall, next to the door of the Monastery. In a flowerpot filled with pink roses another note was hidden, between the petals of smallest rose. "As this flower I'm small, prove your memeory and ability recall, to go to where we confessed our fall". Well, finally an easy one, that's the hotel, in one next to the main pool, when I confessed, on Borg's wedding.
Once again, I used the Realm ring and transport myself to the hotel. I walked to the main pool, a guy gave me another note. "You're doing great babe! Our love is never superficial. The next is where we became official".
— The Cave of Fear—I muttered, and used the ring again.
Another note, this one was lightly bigger, it was 1 quarter of a sheet. "The last clue my love. My True Potential...."
— Nothing else? Well to the prision of the forest then... It isn't that far from the Monastery, I'll go first, the guys must be worried. I open a portal towards the Monastery. I told the guys everything was fine, and left, leaving the Realm Ring in the table. That clue, made me feel, like I wanted some time alone.
As I began to walk towards the prision where once, I had to return from without my love. The memories started to fill my mind, and tears did the same with my eyes.
Flashback
— NO PLEASE! COME BACK! POOF BACK HERE AGAIN! DON'T ABANDON ME!—I cried.
— Jay... I'm sorry...—Erika said, placing a hand on my shoulder.
— She's gone Jay—Nya said coldly.
— NO! I NEED HER! SHE IS ALIVE! I KNOW IT! SHE ISN'T DEAD!—I shouted.
— Jay... We need to go...—Lloyd said.
— I WON'T LEAVE HER! SHE IS COMING BACK!—I yelled at him.
— Jay, we would love that was true. But she is gone, she is in a better place now...—Sensei Wu said.
I looked up, they all had small tears forming in their eyes again. For some reason, that made me feel slightly better, less... lonely in my pain.
— Why Sensei? She didn't deserve dying!—I asked.
— She did it to protect us all Jay. She wanted to keep you save, along with your brothers and sisters—Sensei Garmadon said.
With a lot of pain in my heart, I stood up, cleaned my tears, and began to walk. Her weak and deadly smile stuck in my mind, she was dying, and yet she didn't cried. She was smiling, so calm... She did her best to make it easier for me, to prevent me to suffer. I did my best to stop crying, but I couldn't help myself. The only thing that could cheer me up, was gone forever. A kiss, a hug, even the lightest touch of her. But that wasn't possible. I had no strenght so I was stumbling, and I couldn't see because of my own tears. ...Before getting to meet Paty, I would say that crying like this was for a "crybaby". But right now, I feel way to more pain to care about it.
End of the Flashback
— I never thought I'd be back here...—I muttered for myself, cleaning a single small tear, feeling calm and peaceful once again.
I didn't even noticed that I was standing next to the building, until I found a piece of paper, a full sheet, attacthed to one of the branch in one of the trees that now were surrounding it. This wasn't a clue, it was a whole letter. With wet little stains all over. Tears...
Jay:
I fucked it up, I know it. All you said, to me the second day... were true. Don't feel bad, YOU DIDN'T hurt me, I hurt MYSELF. All the pain off this week, I asked for it, I should've been stronger. So you wouldn't be alone. I regret EVERY second of the last year that I couldn't spend by your side. You weren't just the key to my powers, my true potential, or just what keeps my body in one piece. You're all my world.
I can't believe how I could hurt the one I care for the most, just with being week. Honestly, I didn't knew any better at that moment, not that I do now, heh. I just made this weird compilation of every moment, that just me got more, and more stuck on you... with a stupid purpose.
What you said last year... I never go to say yes. I know you don't feel like that anymore... But, I won't ever stop feeling what I feel for you, always felt, and will always feel.... That's not the point sorry. What I meant to say is, that however you want to see me like: A wife, a girlfriend, a friend, or just a partner. I'll ALWAYS be there for you. No matter who I am to your world, I will prove that I'm worth to be part of it.
About the kiss the earlier, well I'm sorry. I don't know what you will decide, but I had to do that. Even if it's just one last time. Yet, thanks, I needed that to stabilize my body, it's getting harder lately, that's why I train so much...
Please, forgive every stupid thing I said, and did... Can I get second chance?
Always yours,
~ Paty
— So... Jay? What do you say? Woul-! Why are you crying?—a soft voice asked.
My mouth was open, but no sound came out. I didn't noticed I was crying until she pointed out. Since I didn't move or talk, she simply turned around and began to walk away.
— I understand... Well... See ya in the house Jay —she said.
I was loosing her again, and this time, I have the feeling it'd be... Forever. My body reacted finally reacted, I run and grab her by the wrist. She turned around, and look at me. She smiled and cleaned my tears. I squeeze her with all my strength.
— I don't want to loose you again —I said.
— You never did, I'll always be with you —she said.
— What happened to us? —I asked.
— Fear Jay, fear is a dangerous weakness —she said.
— You don't seem to have a weakness —I muttered.
— You are my weakness Jay, but also my greatest strength —she said.
— Let's go back home, please —I suggested.
— There's no other place I'd rather go.... —she smiled.
I offer her my hand, she grabbed it. And we left. That horrible place that once broke us apart, now brought us back together.
