You Are Mine [Hijack/Frostcup]

Chapter 25: Talking

"Come on Hic. Let's go for a walk" Astrid said after I let out all my tears. It was the first time she's ever seen me really cry. I pulled away and sighed. Great, now I huge headache from crying.

Astrid and I started walking in the forest. "You must really miss him huh?" She asked as she glanced over at me. "Y-yeah. I mean, I just don't know when or-or IF he would come back! You know?" I answered back and all she answered was with a nod. I went on, "Last time he left, he left. He didn't come back for a long time! It just caused me so much pain and damage in my life style. And then he was back and.. Ugh! I shouldn't have let him leave. I should have made him stay with me, so this wouldn't happen again.."

Astrid looked at me and sighed softly, "Hic, it's real obvious Jack cares about you deeply and the first time he left crushed him too. He wouldn't leave on purpose. But it's just who he is.. A guardian. A spirit. He has other people and things to do. well, he has every child on the world to create fun for! And he's spent a lot of his job time staying here for you. I bet he will be back too Hic, you're just thinking too much.."

I stopped walking and looked down as I felt astrids blue eyes now looking at me. I shrugged softly and I mumbled "What if he's.. Gone forever.."

Astrid walked up to me and smiled, "you're crazy! Remember? They only disappear when everyone stops believing in them. And both you and I believe in him... So he's not gone."
I then thought about it for a minute. She was right. Jack can't be gone unless I stop believing! So he's alive!

I gave Astrid a big hug, thanked her, and quickly ran back home. I know it was rude to leave Astrid like that but she can punch me later on.

I sneaked back inside the house and walked upstairs as quiet as I could. I went upstairs and sat on my bed and smiled. Jack was gone... But wasn't gone forever. He's fine. I thought all about him until I fell asleep.
