Falling For A Vampire || H.S.

Chapter 18 - Will You?

Harry’s POV:

I promised Jossie that I’ll keep her safe, but I don’t know if I’ll make it out alive from that battle or not. I knew one thing for sure and it’s that I’ll keep Jossie safe and sound. I will make sure that she breathes and is alive. I’ll make sure that she’ll keep living her life perfectly and I don’t want her to live miserably because I am not with her. I just want to be a good memory in her mind. I want her to remember me and smile, not cry. I’ll always be watching her, I know. I love Jossie more than how I loved my human life which was the best thing in my life. It was when I used to breath and smile for the silliest reasons. When I used to believe that death will be something easy to come, it can occur by and accident or when you’re peacefully lying in your bed, intertwining fingers with your lovely old wife. When I wanted to die as an old man with grey hair staring at the eyes of his grey-haired wife lying beside him. But all these dreams and hopes were crashed when I lost my humanity and changed to an immortal. Now, all I want for Jossie is a happy human life, without any pain, tragedies and probably, without me. I know that it’ll crash her seeing me dead after everything we’ve been through; I mean I would’ve died if I saw her dead. But it’ll be a lot easier for me to die. She can live her life without me, I know it’s going to be hard at first, but she’ll get used to it, maybe she’ll love again as I did and marry that normal person and even have children. But I will never be able to move on after two losses. No way!

I was lying down in my bed with Jossie in my arms. I was playing with her soft, brown hair. It was one of the moments I wanted to pause and keep replaying, but I know I can’t control the time. I and Jossie discussed the fight plan together. I told her that she’ll remain at the house because I want nothing bad to happen to her. Besides, she’s the one Jaden wants; maybe he’ll sneak out of the fight while we were all busy fighting and ripping heads out of bodies and kill her. I wasn’t ready for that! Of course, Jossie was being Jossie and spent what seemed like an hour arguing with me, telling me she wants to be with us in the fight, to make sure that I am okay. I made my mind and eventually, I won.

“Harry?” Jossie asked. I was holding her very tight, afraid to let her go, afraid of the particular time that’ll come when I won’t see Jossie again. I wanted to spend every moment left of my life in her arms and she in mine. I wanted to stay like this, forever!

“Mhm?”

“What if…” She started then stopped for a moment. “What if you didn’t make it out of…? Of the fight?” She asked nervously. I took a deep sigh then decided that this was the time. I stood up and reached my drawer. I got out the thing I have been keeping for what seemed like ages. I went back to Jossie; she was already sitting on the bed with her arms folded over her chest. I hid my hands behind my back then sat down beside her.

“Jossie, if I ever didn’t make it out of the fight, which I’ll try my best to never let it happen, promise me one thing.”

“Harry, I will not forget you and move on. Forget about that. We’re not in a silly romantic movie where the two lovers get separated by death and I am not going to play the role of the survivor and you the victim. I won’t let it happen. I am not going to be Rose and you Jack. I am going to be Juliet, if you die, I’ll die with you. It’s either both of us, or neither of us.” She said. I looked at her with wide eyes and agape mouth. I don’t believe what she’s saying. Will she end her life if I died? Is she this stupid?
