Look how they shine for you ~(Jc Caylen fanfic)~

So I just want to say my last thank you. This was my first book and it's been quite the journey. Let's just keep it at that. And with that, the official last chapter. ENJOY :)

Hailey's POV ~

I was lying next to Brandon on a blanket, on a field, late at night. Stargazing what we would do regularly together whenever I felt down. He spoke up, "I love doing this, as soon as I observe the stars and basically the entire universe, it feels like we are in a globe, but also like the sky never ends. It's weird, magnificent and interesting all the same." "Slow down there philosopher Brandon. Your brain might explode, and I don't really feel like dealing with all that mess so..." He punched me in the arm like a playful gesture as I finished my sentence.

I looked up to the sky, watched how the stars shined. I tilt my head, so beautiful I thought to myself. His chuckle snapped me out of my thoughts. I felt how he looked at me, so I turned my head to look at him. He chuckled once again, and then looked at the stars. You can say I was a bit confused. "Look," He said after a few minutes. I looked at the stars too. "Look how they shine for you" he continued. "For me ?" I beamed, causing him to smile. "Yes, they shine for you."

"Not that I don't appreciate the comment, but care to explain ?" I asked anticipated. "No explanation needed. Just promise me that every time you feel down in the future, even when I won't be there to comfort you. You will look up at the sky, of course when there are stars shining, you will think of my statement." He looked at me and noticed the weird look on my face, but smiled otherwise. "It may sound cheesy or too deep. But believe me, you will understand someday. Like you always say, time will tell." Well I sure hope he is right. Seconds passed, which became minutes, which then became a whole hour. Maybe hard to believe, but we just laid there. Just existing, next to each other without saying a word. Observing our surroundings, thinking and appreciating the moment even when it's filled with silence. But then Brandon spoke once again interrupting the silence, "you might just be my lucky soul mate." I chuckled, "yeah, lucky." We started laughing, "but yeah Brandon, soul mate, I promise I will think of that statement and this moment when I'm in despair."

That was the last thing I experienced before waking up from my coma. I opened my eyes and sat up, but no one was in the room. I was confused and called for a nurse.

..

I walked out of the hospital doors and decided to process everything the doctors explained me about my situation. They said I should wait for a familiar person to pick me up, let everyone know I'm okay. But I couldn't deal with that right now, so before they could stop me from going I escaped.

Jc's POV ~

I stumbled out of the hospital and leaned against the wall. I desperately wanted to fight back the tears but I couldn't. I can't even remember the last time I let a single tear escape my eyes. I buried my head in my hands lowered to the ground and took a deep breath.

"Why are you crying ?" Oh, her voice. That was her voice. It was as soothing as I remembered. I looked up. My knees grew week and my mind went numb. I struggled for words as she approached me slowly, she knelt before me and touched my cheek, worry etched in her gentle movement. "What's wrong ? You look like you've seen a ghost." Ironic "You.. you're, alive.." I carefully said. She frowned, "you thought I was dead ? Is that what they told you ?" I began standing up. "They said you left us, that you were gone." She rolled her eyes at me, "Yeah I walked out there as soon as I could. I'm sorry though for not letting you know." She looked at the ground. I grabbed her hands "Hailey I.. I thought I had lost you, there are so many things I want to tell you." She looked up again and hugged me tight and leaned toward my ear, "I've heard it all, I love you too." Those words made me shiver, in a good way. "Now toughen up badboy, we gotta fix some shit." She said as she intertwined our fingers as I took her hand.
