"We're in this together." I grab his hands and look him in the eyes.
"We will keep fighting until we are done." I add. Tears build up in my eyes.
"BUT MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE." He spits out, on the urge of crying.
while mitch and cindy went outside with my ring, i went on my phone and scrolled through my instagram feed.

i go on my explore page and suddenly i look up to see a man. he gets his cravings and before he could do anything, i hit him with the back of my forearm, right in the face. "i'm hungry. you're a humble human being, let me have a bite next time without trying to murder me." he says to me. i feel compulsion. he then shoves his fist, full force, into my eye. i don't know how they mitch and cindy didn't hear us but they didn't. i feel myself get dizzy. i fall to the floor and black out.

present time (the next morning)
i wake up in a hospital bed. i don't remember anything. i don't know why i'm here but cindy's sitting by my side holding my hand and mitchell is sitting on my other side looking frustrated. i feel tingles go all around my body from the thought of the love of my life holding my hand.
did i miss something? what the fuck happened? why am i here? and most importantly, why is cindy holding my hand...? are we dating or something? hope we are lol.
i inhale and exhale. "oh my gosh jacob, you're awake!" cindy exclaims happily. mitchell jumps, "oh my god yo dude are you alright?" "well, what the fuck happened haha. i'm not hurting but i feel really confused. i don't remember ANYTHING at all." i say with a slight grin. "well when we came in back inside to your apartment, you were on the fucking floor, not breathing normally, and with a black eye and a bruise on your arm." mitchell explains. "wow jacob, are you serious? like you don't remember a single fucking thing that happened?" cindy asks looking surprised. i shake my head.
mitchell stands up and says "i'm gunna leave you two here, i'm gunna wait outside." he walks out. "i balled my eyes out the minute i saw you on the floor, not moving really. i was terrified." i feel myself blush a bit, oh my god my heart. "oh my gosh, cindy. i'm- i have no words. i'm happy to have you." i say with a shy (but cute 😆) face. i look down at my hand, she's still holding my hand. she notices me looking at our hands. "oh uh, sorry-" she lets go of my hand. "no it's fine haha. it's cute." i grin. i sit up and grab her hand and look her in the eyes.
"okay i want you to listen to me. ever since the day we met, just ugh. when i first saw you, you were one of the most beautiful, most cutest girls i've ever seen in the entire 18 years i've lived. being close friends with you has changed me, good and bad. i love you so much cindy, not all these words you're hearing right now will tell you how much i love you. cindy, you drive me crazy. like right now, me holding your hand, my heart is pounding. it's like it's going to jump out of my chest any minute now. you make me so happy. you make me just, hella heart eyes, cindy. hella heart eyes, for you. cinderella james carpenter, you are one of a kind. i know that for a fact. every single day i learn something new about you and i fucking love it. i fucking love you. now cinderella, will you make me the happiest 18 year old male human on this planet and be my girlfriend?"

cindy's pov
+++
i open my mouth a bit, but there is nothing i can say. i am completely speechless. i have no words.
"oh my god, jacob. i'm at loss of words." i sigh, smiling. "i love you too. thank you so much. honestly, you just made my whole life. all of your words just now made me whole. damn. life." the nurse comes in. "oh, looks like he's okay now. just try and keep him at home for a couple of days for the black eye to go away. it's nothing too severe, but if it doesn't get better within 4 days, come back and we can treat it. same for the bruise. other than that, he can leave now. sir, i'll bring your clothes and you can change. young lady, you can wait outside and he'll be out." the nurse says with an australian accent.
"i'm your girlfriend, love." i wink at him. he grins. i walk outside to the waiting area to wait for him. he comes out and we make our way outside to mitchell's car. "yo dude, you okay?" mitch asks jacob. "yeah i'm fine now, thanks bro." jacob replies. he nods. jacob takes my hand and our hands intertwine, one in between the other.
ugh, he's just so boyfriend material. just look at him, every fucking thing about him 💞
he glances and smiles at me. mitchell somehow sees. "ooo what's this?" mitchell asks obnoxiously moving his eyebrows up and down. "oh my gosh." jacob says and we both laugh. "well i know now, it's obvious haha. you don't have to tell me." he says laughing a bit. i take out my phone and open snapchat.
i decided it would be smart to take a selfie with him and save it to my memories so i can remember when we got together lol.
i lay my head on his chest and tell him, "smile your gorgeous smile for the picture babe." i smile and he smiles. i bring up our hands that are attached together and put that in the picture, too. i take the picture. "look baby, we're so hot." jacob says, looking at the picture. i chuckle. "no, we're ugly." i say somehow with a straight face. "okay if you're ugly, i'm ugly. but i'm gunna pretend that means the opposite so i can be right." jacob smiles an obnoxious smile. "okay wait hold that for a sec i wanna catch that for a sticker on snapchat." i tell him. he freezes until i take the picture. i show it to him and he giggles. "awh you're such a babe." i smile at him. "me four." mitchell says unexpectedly. we all laugh. we arrive at our building.
"jacob, we have some more things to tell you. come over to our place." mitchell tells jacob.
oh yeah. i don't know if i can even kiss my own boyfriend without draining his blood out of his body. sigh. 🙄
we arrive at our apartment. we sit down at our table. i sigh. jacob sits beside me. "so um jacob since you have daggers and ashes. we have all we need to undo this spell. we just need a human to kill you-" jacob cuts off mitch. "i'm not dying. i just claimed the love of my life right here and i'm not gunna waste this chance with her." jacob says frustratedly with stress. "listen jacob, you're not going to die permanently." i explain. mitchell takes out jacob's ring. "this ring. i did research on this a year ago. this ring lets you cheat a supernatural death. meaning, if someone like a vampire or a witch or a werewolf 'kills' you, you're going to come back to life. but... we're going to make sure this is one of the only times you cheat death because god knows what will happen in your couple hours in heaven or hell. not saying i want you to die without the ring but we're going to try our best to protect you." mitchell says.
"wow.." jacob whispers, surprised. "and when you wake up, you won't have a single scar on your body no matter how bad the injury was." i add. "i'm just tell you this, try to stay alive. that ring can change you if you always depend on it to bring you back. it won't work all the time if you use it a lot." mitchell explains. "i'll be as careful as i can." jacobs says. "alright then."
