Not Your Kidney...Your Heart (An Eyeless Jack Love Story)

Chapter 10: Departure

Warning: Intense feels ahead. You have been warned.

Julie's POV:

"What?!" I exclaimed.

Jack and I were back at my house after his fight with Ben.

"I can't be with you anymore." Jack repeated.

I felt tears come to my eyes and down my cheeks.

"W-why?" I asked quietly.

Jack stepped forward, lifting up my chin with his forefinger and thumb.

"I promised that I would protect you from Ben, so I'm doing just that."

He lifted up his mask and kissed me softly.

"Remember Julie. I will always love you; and I will never forget about you." I sniffled at his words.

"I love you too, Jack." I replied.

He brought me into a hug. I sqeezed him with my arms as I buried my head into his chest, knowing that this will be the last time I feel his warm and comforting embrace.

=>Timeskip<=

It has been less than a year since Jack and I separated. Even though it's been so long, I couldn't grasp the fact that he was gone.

During the day, I was my happy, cheery self who worked hard. But that only disguised my true feelings of pain and misery. I would cry myself to sleep every night, holding myself like Jack did that day. Every time Jack's face entered my mind, I could feel myself break down. I wasn't going to tell anyone my problems because they wouldn't believe me, or they would ask me questions about him. That would only make me suffer more heartbreak, and I didn't want that. Nor did I take an interest in any other boys. They could never replace Jack.

Jack's POV:

I sat there, slowly eating the kidneys I had just achieved. They helped me to some extent, but there was still that growing hole in my heart that made me suffer for the past several months. The hole that only Julie can fix.

I cringed at the thought of Julie. Her cute, happy face and beautiful eyes.

My breathing hitched as I felt tears roll down my face. I put my fingers up to my face, sampling the substance. They were, in fact, real tears. I was crying. Crying for Julie.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. I went up, wiping my tears away, and opened the door. There stood Jeff, Slender, Toby, and, worst of all, Ben.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked, glaring at Ben.

He just kept his head down, not saying a word. That's when Slender spoke up.

"We finally convinced Ben to stop messing with Julie."

I nodded, not asking how. Knowing these three, and everyone else, I knew that they must've done something pretty ugly to make Ben stop.

"I'm sorry Jack. I'm really sorry for messing with Julie." Ben said quietly.

He and I shook hands before the four of them walked away. I managed to catch Ben's extreme limping when he walked as they went into the forest.

I walked inside with a smile on my face. That was when I noticed the heart that had been kept preserved in a jar for the past year.
