Two months later…
After Jackie’s death, everyone felt numb with grief and disbelief. Even after two months, the pain was still raw to everyone, especially Toby, who broke down if anyone even said the word Jackie.
Toby was on the couch, watching BEN play games when the door to the mansion was knocked on.
“H *tic* Huh?” Toby cautiously opened the door and nearly dropped his waffle.
“J-Jackie?”
Jackie spread her hands.
“I’m still confused about it as well.” Toby ran and kissed her, not caring if the world saw them or not. His Jackie was alive.
“H-how?!” Toby asked, hugging her.
“I just woke up in the woods, laying on the ground. Evidently I’m immortal now.” Toby smiled and kissed her again.
Everyone ran downstairs to check the commotion.
“JACKIE!” Jane, Nina, and Clockwork yelled, hugging her. Peter swung in, looking happier than he ever had.
“How are you-how is this-HOW?!” Jackie chuckled, ruffling Sally’s hair.
“Hey Sally. I’ll explain later once everyone gets here.” Sally beamed and ran upstairs, giggling and skipping.
“SLENDY! SLENDYYYYY!!” Slenderman teleported to the living room, where everyone was.
“Children, why is everyone yelling- Jackie?” Jackie smiled, hugging Slender.
“Okay, so, story time. So I died and fell into this sort of sleeping type of thing and I woke up in the woods, on the ground, hearing God say I’m immortal now? So yeah, I’m here to stay. For good. No more dying or sacrificing or stuff like that.” Toby smiled at that and kissed her.
“I’m *tic* glad to hear *tic* t-that.”
That night, Jackie watched Disney Princess movies with Sally and Lazari while rain beat the windows. “I’m so happy that you’re alive again, Jackie!” Lazari cheered, throwing her arms around Jackie’s neck.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Thank you, sweetie.” For a moment, the three stayed like that, curled up. Thunder rattled the windows, causing Sally to jump. Lazari took Sally’s hand.
“It’s okay, Sally. The thunder can’t get inside!” A slight blush crept onto Sally’s face. So cute.. Jackie thought, smiling as Beauty and The Beast came on.
----------------------------------------
“I found them like this.”
Jackie woke up to see LJ and BEN awake, staring at her and the two small children. Lazari stirred and slowly opened her eyes, noticing her hand interlaced with Sally’s. Her cheeks grew red. Sally woke up and saw Lazari. “Oh..um..” Jackie smiled and hugged the children.
“Come on, time for breakfast.” Sally smiled and drug Lazari into the kitchen.
“POP TARTS!!”
“Oh lord.. They found them…”
Jackie chuckled as Lazari and Sally ate four poptarts each, frosting and sprinkles on their faces. “Lemme guess: the poptarts are off limits.” LJ shook his head, chuckling.
“No. They’re just Jeff’s.” Jackie widened her eyes.
“WELL-” Jeff raced down the stairs and yelled when he ran inside of the kitchen.
“COME ON!” Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Jeff’s reaction.
“Jeff, my God…” Ej said through gasps from laughing so hard.
“EJ!!!! IMMA KILL YOU!”
“Jackie?” Jackie looked up to see Jane, Nina, Clockwork, Lulu, and Sonic.Exe as EJ and Jeff chased each other.
“Huh?”
“Um, Lulu ‘found’ something.” Lulu held a parcel, long and skinny, towards Jackie.
“I hope it doesn’t give you memories.” Jackie carefully took it and unwrapped it.
“My sword…” Jackie carefully traced the runes on there. “Thank you, Lulu.” Jackie hugged Lulu, surprising them.
“You’re not upset?” Jackie smiled and shook her head.
“No. It reminds me that I’m immortal now.” Jackie stood up and stretched. “Imma go shower, okay?” Everyone nodded and Toby hugged her.
“Love *tic* you, *tic* Jackie.” Jackie kissed his forehead.
“Love you too, my love.” Smiling, Jackie went upstairs, humming. As Jackie walked down the hall, her thoughts traveled to when she first woke up, unable to remember anything except for..
Toby.
Jackie sighed and ran a hand through her hair: Toby, the love of her life, the only thing she could remember. That’s how much Toby meant to her. She sighed and went inside her room, flopping down on her bed. Why, WHY, after all she and everyone had been through, did she have to leave him and die? Jackie sighed and buried her face in her hands, groaning in frustration. Holy Moses, why was life so..so.. Complicated? Jackie sighed and went inside the bathroom to shower.
When she walked out, Toby was there, a blanket in hand. “I *tic* thought you *tic* you would be *tic* be cold.” Jackie kissed his forehead, standing on tiptoes, taking the blanket and wrapping it around her shoulders, although her sweater was warm.
“Thank you, Toby.” They held hands and walked downstairs, where everyone was arguing.
Jackie laughed as Slender broke up an argument between BEN and Jeff. The life here would be full of arguments and killing, but also friendship and family. As long as she had her family, and Toby, that was all Jackie needed.
“People wonder why I chose Toby.
Most people would say, “Jeff was too old and BEN was too young.”
But I chose Toby because he reminded me of myself.
He was a demon, I was an angel, but isn’t that how most love stories go?”
