Three weeks later...
It was dark and cold as we watched Jake’s coffin slowly be lowered into the ground, I set my bouquet of hand picked ice lilies on the lid before the undertaker started to shovel dirt into the hole.
People started to clear out and I stood there looking down into the hole, the emptiness inside me still gaping wide open.
Kye rested his hand on my shoulder and tapped his forehead against mine before leaving with kelly and Harley and Jake’s father stayed behind.
I glanced over at e.j. Who was obviously hurt underneath all that cockiness, he stiffened under my gaze and turned towards me just as I looked away and sighed.
I turned to make an exit just as he called out my name “TAEH!” E.j. Called, I looked back at him as he stood in the aisle “your highness...” he said bowing slightly.
I growled “don’t. I don’t like being viewed as people’s queen over some useless prophecy“ I snapped.
He looked at me shocked “it’s not useless. We’ve had a Queen from the same bloodline for millions of yea-“ “I DONT CARE” I yelled.
He stiffened as I sighed and took in a deep breathe of air “sorry that was rude of me. Your Jake’s father correct?” I said still having a hard time saying Jake’s name after the incident.
E.j. Nodded “Jake had this in his pocket when the undertaker was readying him for the casket” he said.
He held out a piece of paper and a black box towards me and I took the items gently, he placed a fist over his heart and then walked away “I shall see you around” he said.
I sat in the now empty chapel and frowned at the podium where Jake and I could’ve stood together in unity before looking down at the items in my hand.
I opened the piece of rolled paper and read the scratchy Hand writing that belonged to none other then Jake.
Dear Akemi...
If your reading this then I’m most likely already gone, but I knew that the events during the incident were going to happen.
The day you overheard only part of Creepypasta’s plan I had gotten an earful of the whole plan from kye, so I went along with it.
I thought I could change the outcome of the incidents but...that obviously didn’t happen.
I was waiting another 5 years to give this you...but since I’m already gone then I’m giving it to you now, no matter how much it hurts. Pull through and move on...it’s for the best...
Signed,
Jake <3
I bit my lip holding back tears and picked up the black box, taking in a sharp breathe I popped it open and gasped before sobbing.
In the box was a beautiful ring in the shape of a heart with delicately placed pink and red diamonds on a silver engagement band.
I picked up the ring in between two fingers and slid it onto my ring finger before dropping the box and screaming at the top of my lungs while crying.
I sat in the chapel for a while playing with the ring in my fingers and looking at the podium when a hand touched my shoulder.
I spun around and slapped the person who soon came to be my friend Leo, he stiffened and looked at me “sorry, bad time?” He asked.
I sighed and shook my head as he took a seat next to me, I held out my hand which held the paper and he took the slip of paper before reading it.
After a couple minutes he sighed “I was going to tell you a story...but now I can’t can I?” He asked, I looked up from the ring and locked eyes with him.
“No,no go ahead” I said, he nodded.
“When I was younger...I had just gained my powers...I couldn’t control them so I used to travel into the deepest woods to train. One day when I was about 5 I ran into a girl in the middle of the forest, she was hurt...but not from an animal.
Nearby a mansion had burned down along with a murder, I helped her and healed her wounds and found a safer place to lay her so she wouldn’t be attacked by nearby predators.
After so long I waited to see if I’d meet the girl again...but it never happened...not until highschool year when her selfish father opened a school.
I got to see her everyday and eventually fell for her...the issue was...there was another boy who had fallen for her...he was a better candidate for her so I gave up...
Now here we are and I feel bad that I’m even telling you this because that girl....is you.” Leo explained.
I stiffened before looking at him “w-what?” I asked, he chuckled and rested his hand on top of mine “your that special girl...” he whispered.
I stared as the face of the little boy who helped me registered and matched with Leo’s. I ripped my hand away from him and stood up quickly making my way to the chapel doors “heart? Hey wait!” He called.
