━ chapter eight: la fin. ( an hour later )
"Oh, to see without my eyes," The gentle hum of the car radio softly sang. Elizabeth's fingers were loose around the wheel as if they were barely touching. Her frown lines were almost completely smoothed over and her face once again appeared soft and youthful like it should've always been.
Jack's head rested on the window. The Nephilim had never felt more human in his life. Ever. He felt this beautiful thumping and stinging in the back of his jaw. He was falling asleep yet he wasn't able to keep the smile off his cheeks.
The car was warm, and so was his soul. At this moment, this moment right here, he would wish to be nowhere else. He watched the girl next to him admire the snow that was falling heavy under the overcast night that seemed more of a dark lavender than black.
"The first time that you touched me,"
Maybe Jack didn't understand what love was. She was okay with that. What she did know, was that he felt this pull between their bodies just like she did. It wasn't sexual. Hell, it might not even be romantic. But there was this undeniable level of trust, of mutual amazement between the two.
Elizabeth didn't have much experience, she'd never had a first kiss or boyfriend or girlfriend or anything that came with that. And if this is what an exaggerated crush was then so be it. because she knew that if they parted ways tomorrow and she was left by herself with nothing but her car, Jack would still be her strongest memory. His everything would be printed into her so deep and so strong that to erase him would be to erase her. The memories we hold closest are the most emotional, and the people that we hold closest may be far but they are never gone.
Their minds were molded together. So when Elizabeth thought, 'you are a divine thing. you hold a beautiful place in my heart that I got to often. you have a divine mouth there and you speak it often. you hold the grace of a god and you are so ethereal. please never leave me I don't think I could handle it'
Their minds were molded together so when Jack heard that, he thought 'you are the heart and soul of everything the god could wish his angels to be. you are light that never goes out, you are the eternal flame of hope that I hold in my throat. you hold my being, half archangel half man's daughter, within the flesh of your hands. you are all that loves me and you, me.'
"Hold your hands upon my head, Till I breathe my last breath,"
The car halted in the middle of the road, and the beings would embrace. In that hour, in that empty street with the snow falling on them, they were truly and wholely one being beyond a body. This body chanted to itslef "i love you i love you i love you..."
And off they drove, directly towards the moon to start a new world. A parcosm that could be as real as they wanted it to be.
