True Love Can't Be Broken (Rewritten)

Chapter 2

(This may be a bit angsty at the beginning so I apologize in advanced)

Jesse's P.O.V.

I ran. I ran and ran. I ran as far as my legs could take me;however, I didn't know who or what was chasing me, nor if they were a threat. Either way, I continued to run away, never looking back once. I failed to notice there was
something beneath my feet, an obstacle, that I failed to see. I tripped over it and fell to the ground, using my arms to stop myself from hitting my head on impact, but my arms were scraped in the process.

I groaned from the intense pain. I was about to hoist myself back up when I suddenly feel somebody kick me right in the stomach, making me collapse. I held my stomach with one arm, and the other that held me up trembled as blood trickled down from the injury. The person kicked me again, but with greater strength. This time, I screamed out in pain as I felt tears well up in my eyes. The person chuckled.

"God, Jesse. You're just a pathetic, weak little worm boy, aren't you? I must ask, how did you, out of all people, manage to take out that wither storm, and defeat me back up in sky city?" That voice. It was definitely Aiden, the leader of the Blazerods. He got down on one knee and lifted my chin up to have me make direct eye contact with him. An evil grin appeared on his face. I growled at him, but he only chuckled again as a response.

"You're pretty cute when you're angry, I gotta admit, but it's unfortunate that you hooked up with that idiot former leader of the Ocelots, Lukas. He must be a real jerk to you, no?" Those words made me cringe, but I snapped at him. "The only one being a jerk to me is you, Aiden!" The grin quickly faded into a fake frown. "Aww, what do you mean I'm being a jerk to you, hm? I bet I'd be a much better boyfriend for you than that loser." That same grin suddenly came back as he swiftly picked me up off the ground and slammed me into the nearest tree with rage in his eyes.

"Besides--I've had a crush on you for a long time, Jesse. Though when I see you two together, it made my heart ache. You're breaking my heart, Jesse! Why can't you be with me instead? Huh?" Aiden was full on shouting at me at this point. Though I didn't answer. He growled, pulled out what looked to be like a dagger, and was quick to stab me with it in my stomach where he had kicked me before. I was about to scream out for help, but got cut off when hid lips crashed into mine. I felt warm tears stream down my cheeks as the pain grew stronger with every second. And though the kiss sure was passionate, but the way he was moving the dagger around while it was still inside me made me think he had been waiting for this day. Once he pulled away from me, he pulled the dagger out, and I dropped to the ground, bleeding profusely. My skin grew pale. My vision had gone blurry, everything was fading to black. My hearing faded as well, but the last thing I hear is, "If I can't have you, then nobody will have you."

I jolted up and out of the bed, panting hard, but at a sort of slow pace. I frantically looked around to see where I was and checked for any traces of blood, but none was found. I sighed, feeling relieved and was about to go back to sleep, but my throat felt quite dry. I dragged myself out of the warm, thick blankets and snuck my way down to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Once I had finally made it down the stairs, I walked over to the cabinets, opened one up and grabbed a cup, closing it gently to not make too much noise. As I placed the cup in the sink and turned on the sink, I feel a pair of arms wrap around me, making me flinch.

"Jesse? What are you doing up this early? It's 5 am..." I turned my head to see who this was, and began to relax a little. It was Lukas. "Ah..well, I...I had a, very strange dream. I was going to go back to sleep, but I'm thirsty, so I just came down here to get a drink. I'm sorry if I woke you up..." I chuckled nervously, freeing myself from Lukas's embrace, which I regretted...I turned off the sink, took the cup out and drank it quick.

'Ahh, much better,' I thought to myself placing the cup down on the counter. As I was walking back upstairs and into my room, I felt Lukas take hold of my wrist. "Wait--" I turned around to face him. "Hm?"

"Umm, w-would you mind if we, y'know..." Before he could finish, I smiled at him and replied, "Of course, I'd love too." Lukas smiled bashfully, letting go of my wrist as we both walked into my room. We both got onto the bed, Lukas pulled the blanket over us, and we held each other in our arms with our legs tangled together. "Thanks, Jesse," I hear Lukas mutter as he nuzzled my cheek playing with my hair. I giggled and pulled myself closer to him, replying, "Anything for such a cutie like you." We were like this for five minutes or so, before we both fell fast asleep in each other's arms.

Wow, that took way longer to write than I expected! Sorry for it not being too exciting, I didn't have much inspiration for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it, nonetheless!
