Day Without June : a legend fanfic [COMPLETED]

The Epilogue of the Epilogue - pt. 1

Jorja POV

I can't pay attention in class no matter how hard I try. 

I mean, French class is ALWAYS boring, especially when it's taught by Madame S. , and it's not like I really care about this particular subject -I don't even understand why there's French class in Drake University, this uni is supposed to train soldiers, not freaking French scholars! - but it's not why I can't pay attention today.

In fact, I'm not bored (wow, I guess there has to be the first time in everything) I'm just distracted and sort of preoccupied.

My brother Jesse, who has just turned 15 this morning, said something when I told him happy birthday and Dad kinda forgot.

Oh, c'mon, Dad. Even Eden said it to me in my dream!

Half joke, half true.

How ironic is it that his birthday is his best friend, Eden's death day? They used to hang around like every single day until Eden...got sick. He used to come over to my house, and vice versa.

It's been exactly five years since Eden left us forever. Well, since the Wings left us forever.

On the day Eden died, we didn't really know what happened. Only that there was an attack against Batalla Hall, and that the prisoners who associated with Day escaped. 

Along with Eden's death. 

His death wasn't officially announced - it was merely a rumor at the time. We all wanted to believe that he was still alive somewhere, fighting for his life. 

But when Elector Primo died, and his son became the new Elector, EVERY rumor became official. Oh, we were shocked to hear that Daniel was actually alive, and that he was Day. We, the slum sector people absolutely LOVED Day. We didn't know who he was, but we were always on his side. 

We were relieved to hear that Daniel and his family were alive and safe in Canada. I heard that the Canadian intelligence agency recruited him almost the minute they heard his story - I wasn't surprised, although Chris, my friend, almost killed herself out of jealous. I mean, I like her and all that, but seriously, what's up with that child and being a field agent?

Okay, anyways, the point is that everyone was fine, except Eden. The new Elector's announcement confirmed the rumor, and upon hearing that, we were...

I don't think I can ever put that into words. 

Jesse almost had a heart attack. 

Elector Primo officially pardoned Day from all his actions against the Republic, and even offered a place for him here, in case he wanted to come back, but he refused. I guess he just can't get over with what happened. 

That's sad...it just is. 

But I guess I could get over with what happened since...I already went through that once with Chris. Both our moms became KIAs - Killed In Action - when we were ten. Our brothers were too young to realize what happened.

Daniel and I weren't really close friends. We just kinda new each other, although I DO WISH WE WERE CLOSER. I MEAN, HE'S FUCKING HOT. I only knew him until I was seven, since he went away to the "labour camp" when he was ten. Seriously, though, I had a crush on him ever since I laid my eyes on him! With his white blond hair and bright blue eyes...? 

Gah! I hate Jesse's birthdays!

I mean, we all go out for dinner for his birthday, but it's not like we can be happy and laugh all day long! Especially not Jesse since he knew Eden the best! It's a very depressing day, but then I always end up thinking about Daniel, and how hot he is!
