Ch. 2: Story Time

Jack finally shares his story with Jade.

Staying up all night isn't that hard anymore since I've done it so many times. I could see Jade's dark blue hair bobbing up and down as she ran towards me.

"Hey, Jack!" She looked cheerful, She was adorable when she acted like this.

"Hello, Jade."

"Want to go somewhere? I have something to show you!"

"Er-" I knew I couldn't leave the park but I couldn't say 'no' to her either. Oh no she's looking at me. Say yes you idiot! "Sure thing!"

She grabbed my hand and started to run toward the edge of the park. Any second now I was going to run into the barrier and then she'll know my secret. WACK! I ran straight into the barrier and let go of Jade's Hand. Not only did I sprain my hand but the barrier burnt me and made a green light in the shape of a diamond with a circle around it which then slowly faded away. Jade stopped. Then looked at me.

"What was that...?"

"Nothing!" She then grabbed my hand again. Ouch! It hurt. It's possibly broken now. Oh well. She tried to pull me through the barrier again but as if a window was there my hand pushed up against it and didn't move another inch.

"Okay," Said Jade. "You have some explaining to do."

"Please just go Jade."

"Nope." She sat down stubbornly in the sand. I guess I had no choice but to tell her. I sat down on the sand across from her.

"Okay. I have been stuck in here since I was 8 years old, A tabby cat brings me food every day and I haven't seen the real world since then." I sighed before saying "I am allowed out on one day a year. October 31st."

"Halloween."

"Correct. When I get out of here, I want you to show me the world."

"I will, and if you have any questions just ask me!"

"I have one question..."

"Yes?"

"What do you like to do for fun...?" I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have said that. She will know I like her now.

"Well I like exploring especially when it's in the dark, I also like helping people. I like exploring places like the old asylum, the-"

I suddenly paused when she mentioned the asylum. My mom's heart shaped face, light, blue, eyes, her light, brown, wool, sweater, her black leggings, her brown long hair, everything about her made me want her more, I wanted her back. I wanted to be with her, and the more I thought about this the more I cried. It all stopped when Jade wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"Please stop crying..." I tried to stop and hugged her back.

"I'll try."

She let go and took a step back. "I'll be right back" She then ran off into the darkness and I lost sight of her.

"Jade!? Jade come back!! ...please don't leave me alone..."
