Empires SMP Oneshot Book

Until I Found You

I'll never let you go again like I did

"I'm sorry about every-" But I don't get to finish my sentence because Jimmy wraps me up in a big hug. I didn't know if he'd find it in himself to forgive. But he did. And I'm so happy he did. I never meant to hurt him. And I'm glad he understands because I've made a promise to him and myself that I will never let him go again. I'll hurt the way I did before.

Oh, I used to say

Together we stay standing still in the middle of the rain. Nothing can change how we feel together in this moment. Nothing can change how I feel about him. And I'm not letting anything get in the way of us. 

But of course after a while, we're both soaked from head to toe, "I think we should go inside." All he does is nod in my arms as we begin to walk towards some cover from the rain. The first thing we find is an awning over a qauint little bakery. There's a bench in front of the shop and I decide that it's the best place to hide out until the rain is over. You know, it's kind of familiar. Like we've already lived through this.

I would never fall in love again

It was a day just like this one, the rain and the need to hide. The only thing that was different was I didn't have Jimmy with me. I had just had a big fight with my brother. Xornoth. That was, before he was corrupted of course. The fights had become more frequent. I knew he couldn't help it. But there was nothing I could do.

I had decided to take a walk through Rivendell. It was a way to clear my head. The route I took, no one ever went on. Or at least I thought no one did. Because that day was the day I met Jimmy. We both weren't paying attention, when we bumped into each other. I was able to catch myself but he didn't. He let a small groan, as I rushed to his side to help him up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I didn't see where I was walking. Here let me help you up," I give him my arm and he takes it. Once we're both standing face to face do I realize how cute he is. But I know that I can't just act on that alone. Things aren't really great in my life right now and I can't bring some cute guy I bumped into today, into that. 

Until I Found Him

So, I do what any reasonable person would do in that situation. I ask him if he's single. Instantly he's blushing. And all he manages to let out is a small nod of his head. I don't even know his name yet and he doesn't know mine, but the smile he gave me before was so genuine. I just had to try. I had to open up my heart again.

I was lost within the darkness, but then I found him

And sure enough things were great for a while. Me and Jimmy we just had this connection. It was unbreakable. Or at least we thought it was. Until the day of the fight. The fight that almost ruined us. It almost ruined me.

Xornoth had just left. I had no idea if he would ever come back. I didn't know what to do with myself. Because I felt like he left because of me. I could've have helped him more. Steered him away from the darkness that eventually consumed him. But I didn't do anything. I sat and watched as the world around me began to shatter. And once it did it was already to late.

Jimmy and I were standing out on the terrace embraced by a sickening silence. Whenever there was silence between us it was comforting, but today it was not. There was a feeling of tension in the air. Like we were a ship that was moments away from completely tipping over. There was nothing that could stop it. No words he could say that would comfort me enough. No action he could possibly do that would rid the darkness. 

So we fought. That night we fought more than we ever had before that night. It was all my fault and there was no way he could ever possibly forgive me. I hurt him. My emotions were high and then... BAM! My powers went out of control. I didn't mean to. He told me everything was okay, but it wasn't okay. Nothing would be okay.

I found you

That night I cried. I cried more than I had cried ever before in my life. I cried for the loss of my brother. I cried for the loss of my love. I cried because I had lost any will to live. So I did the most reasonable thing at the time. I left.

But as I was leaving, planning to never come back again, I ran into Jimmy. Instantly tears started welling in my eyes and my legs seemed to give out from underneath. I tried to choke out an apology but he wouldn't let me. Because he forgave me. He forgave me. He did the unimaginable, forgiveness.

We cried in each other's arms until we were back to now. The rain had slowly begun to die down until eventually it was just a light drizzle. Barely even a mist. Me and him were both sitting on a hill watching the stars pass by over our heads.

"I really am sorry Jimmy. I... never meant to hurt you..." but I can barely even let out a sentence because Jimmy says something. It's hardly even a whisper and you could only hear it in the complete silence of the night.

"I love you," and suddenly before I even knew what was going on he placed a brief kiss onto my lips. 

"I love you too, Jimmy."

A/N: I'm so excited that I've finally been able to publish this book. The idea to make an Empires SMP fanfiction of some sort has been in my brain since it first came out. Sorry if this wasn't the best writing, I'll probably have to come back and edit this eventually. I just wanted to put it out already. I hope you've enjoyed the first chapter.
