Back to Jack

Kiss Me Goodbye

I wake to Frost gazing at me. My eyes meet his, causing him to blush. He starts shifting around, awkwardly trying to distract from the fact he had been watching me sleep.

"Morning Frosty!" I say, stretching my arms above my head and sighing.

"Morning angel. Sorry to rush you but we should probably pack up and get going. The sooner where out of Gotham the better."

"Ugh, I wish we could stay in bed a little longer." I stick out my bottom lip.

"Sorry, no can do," Frost replies as he prised me up from the bed. I reach over and grab my shoes, pulling them onto my feet.

We quickly pack up and begin walking again, making our way through the trees and towards our new life.

It was quiet in the woods, just the sound of birds singing and the crunching of leaves on forest floor as we walked. The sun shone down on the trees letting little beams of light through to warm our skin. But wait, what's this? A red dot shone on my chest. I look up at Frost, a similar red dot projected on him. Suddenly more dots appeared over the two of us. Laser beams?. We swiftly look around realising we where surrounded. Guns pointing at us from every angle. And then we heard it. The insanity piercing through our ears.

"HAHAHA, I see dead people, or at least soon to be dead people." J chuckled to himself, shaking his head at us both in disapproval.

"J leave her out of it, it was all my idea. This isn't her fault" Frost pleaded with the madman that stood before us. A huge grin was smeared across Js face; he clicked his fingers and two men appeared behind us. Pushing us to kneel on the floor. J pulled out a gun and pointed it at Frost's head.

And then I snapped. No matter how much me and Frost tried we could never get away, we could never live a normal life. We would constantly be running, hiding from J. I stood from the floor, lifting my leg I kicked the gun from Js hand before picking it up from the ground and pointing it at J.

"You expect me to be scared, god you must be crazier than me HAHAHA!" J burst into a fit of laughter, mocking my attempts.

I then turned the gun, holding it against my own head. It was obvious J was holding on to me. The small piece of Jack that was left in this crazed villain was causing him to keep me prisoner.

J looked at me in shock as did frost and the other men.

"Jessie stop" Frost called out.

"What are you doing doll? Put the gun down..." J said trying to calm the situation.

"No!! I had to fake my own death to get away from you and you still come back. Can you remember what you said to me the day of you're parents death? Can you?"

"No, put the gun down doll."

"You remember, stop lying."

"I don't, that's something Jack would know, not me"

"Cut the crap J, you are Jack and that's why you won't let me fucking go. What did you say that night?"

"If you love me, go."

"Correct, now I'm asking the same from you, if you love me J, go, leave and let me live my life with Frost, let me be happy."

We stand looking into each other's eyes, gun still pressed against my head.

"Jessie."

"No J."

J walked closer to me, reaching into his jacket he pulled out a box and passed it to me. I look down at the box, carefully I removed the lid. Inside was a beautiful corsage made from artificial flowers, pearls and jewels, it matched my... prom dress. He'd kept it, this was what J was going to give me that night, the night it all went wrong. I look up from the box only to see J was gone.

"Where did he go Johnny?"

"I don't know, that way." He pointed further into the woods

"Why does it matter? He's gone, we can move on now " I ignored Frost, I don't know why but I started running, I ran so fast.

"JACK!!" I shout, the sound echoing from the branches that surrounded me.

I fall to my knees on a pile of dead leaves, a tear escapes my eyes.

"Why can't I let go?" I curl into a ball and sob. Just then I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"You can"

I lift my head ,bright blue eyes pierce through me. My arms wrap around his neck.

"Please, I need Jack, just this once!"

"You know I can't do that doll."

I place my forehead against his

"Then can you give this to him for me."

I move closer and gently place my lips on his. It wasn't a sexual kiss, it was just sad, it was closure. The end of a chapter that allowed us to move on.

We pull away and our lips part.

"Goodbye Jack" I say standing from the ground.

He gaze up at me, a sad smile projected on his face as he pulled himself up to stand in front of me.

"Goodbye angel" he say stroking his hand over my cheek before turning away and disappearing amongst the trees.
