Blinded-epilogue
One, two, three.
One. Two. Three.
One.
Two.
Three.
It's okay. It's okay.
Dandelion seeds fly around the sky, some gently landing on the grass over his body.
I come here every morning, waiting. For what? I don't know.
I take care of the grass, and I bring more flowers in. Still not enough.
His laughter, his smile, his voice, his pain, his joy, his love and hate all buried underneath. It indeed is weird. At last I can over stand him.
Do I still love him? Did I ever love him? Did he love me? Does he still loves me?
And why does it matter? Why do I need to know of love? Haven't I already tasted the bitterness of it? Haven't I had enough of passion?
A hand suddenly touches my shoulder, making me jump. And God, I guess I haven't had enough yet. As soon as I see the golden hair, the shining eyes, the smooth skin-
And I still love Jace.
I don't know if it is the right thing to do where Jon's body is resting, but I throw myself into his embrace, inhaling his sweet scent. Gosh, how much I missed this. He makes me feel like a child again, oblivious of pain, death, and madness. And it's good.
His touch on my back is intoxicating, fixing me. Saving me from the chaotic mess of pain.
And Jace- I'd never make another choice for him. All the loss and heartbreaks I've suffered from, it doesn't matter now. Because blinded by him, I can only see the bright light ahead of me.
"You're back," I whisper, caressing his silky hair and burying my face against his neck.
"Yeah. I'm back."
"Don't leave...? Please. Don't leave me again," I beg like a lost child.
Cool autumn breeze brushes through our hair as we both stare off at Jon's grave, sitting on the grass. Peaceful. I'd never imagined I would feel this again.
"I heard it was you," Jace says, leaning back on his elbow. "It still hurts you, doesn't it?"
I nod, stroking the grass on the protruding part of the ground. "Never stops hurting."
"Time heals," he tells me, shrugging.
"No, time numbs you," I look at him, who's gazing at the sunset.
"Same thing."
"Maybe..." I inhale shakily. "I thought you would never come back."
"Well, you thought wrong," he says, smiling to me. "Do you regret it? Jon?"
"I regret a lot of things," I reply curtly.
"But...?"
"It's over, though. I don't wish for more. I mean, not anymore, at least."
He drags himself closer to me, resting his arm gently around my shoulder. "So what, now?" He asks, his breath brushing against my cheeks as his soft eyes meet mine.
"I don't know," I say quietly. "Going on with our life."
"What about us?"
"Um... Making out occasionally? Not sure," I say half jokingly.
He laughs a little, his body vibrating against mine. "I guess it doesn't matter."
"Nope, it doesn't."
He smiles at this, his eyes bursting with delicate emotions. "I," he says in a slightly shaky voice. "Am so, so, in love with you."
"And I you," I whisper back, an irresistible smile on my face.
"And happily ever after?"
"Forever and ever."
