The Lost Boy ~The tale of Will Cipher~

Chapter thirteen: The Truth (Part Four)

(Author note at the end please read it once you get there!) 

"I don't think you should m-mess with pa-paranormal stuff without me." Will said.

"Will, I know this is really crazy and sudden, but this book has so much stuff in it! It talks about being immortal, and I was thinking-"

She suddenly stopped talking and put her finger to Will's lips. He was about to stop her mid-sentence again. Gina had noticed his changes lately, like how he was so quick to doubt people and stick up for himself. She didn't like his newfound confidence, though.

"Will, I know, just think about it before you talk. What if I was immortal with you? The only thing in the way of our love is my death, but we could erase that! I could be a dream demon or something. Just imagine it for a minute."

Will didn't want to get Gina's hopes up. He felt so off about their relationship lately. The one and only reason for Gina to change her whole life and become immortal was him, but it wasn't worth it. If he was in love with her, maybe he would have thought about it.

He had denied this for a long time, but now he was finally admitting it: Will wasn't in love with Gina anymore. He hated confrontation and change, and hated the thought of losing Gina. She's done so much for him! She loved him when nobody else did! He knew that things weren't going to get better, though.

"Well l-look in the b-book, Gina." He said. "What does i-it say about becoming a dream demon?"

Gina flipped through the pages and found a page on becoming immortal. Becoming immortal either involved sacrificing a loved one or killing off your physical body in demented ways.

"There's no way you're doing that." Will said without a stutter.

"Agreed..." Gina sighed. "There has to be another way, though."

Will cringed with frustration but kept himself collected. "I-I think we just need some sleep. There's t-to much stress going on right now." Gina thought he was just stressed about the book, little did she know...

Will got into bed and fell asleep waiting for Gina to finish brushing her teeth. He planned to visit Bill in his dream and get advice. Will should have known that Gina wouldn't sleep that night though. She stayed up until 3 a.m. reading the journal and doing online research. She then took a break and turned on the t.v. When she did this, her video-game counsel lit up, and she got an insane idea.

Will was violently ripped out of his dream state with Bill when Gina shook him awake. He followed her to the living room and slowly realized she never went to bed.

"There's a way! I found a way Will!"

"What?!" Will was frantic.

"Kyouko-chan's Tokyo quest! We could live in our favorite videogame forever! I could be Tiffany, it's all we've ever wanted."

"You can't just give up earth, Gina. That's too big of a change for you. Think of your family."

"Since when do you have all this confidence? Doubting me without a stutter! I thought you would want to be with me forever! You just keep putting me down!"

Will was hurt at how rude she was being, but couldn't blame her. "Gina, I have so m-much lo-love for you! This whole mortality thing is just too much. Y-y-you don't deserve this big of a b-burden in a relationship! I just want you to be happy with a human man!" Will began to cry.

Gina was shocked. She had no idea Will felt this way. "Nobody could compare to you. We've been through so much!"

"I completely agree!" He sobbed. Ten minutes of silent thinking went by. They cried to themselves trying to process all that was happening. Soon, Gina spoke up.
