I have a really relatable love quote (well not really) or what you call in Tagalog as hugot:
"Ang forever...tinatrabaho."

Translation: "You work to get forever."/"To get forever, you need to work for it."

What if I told you I'm ending this on chapter 25?

Continuing from Jeff's POV

She's there. She's standing in front of me and I'm so delighted. I can't move though, I don't know why. She's smiling and I am, too. I'm staring at her with happiness and she laughs at my awestruck face. I've lived to hear that laugh and seems like it was worth it. I smile and finally move. It only takes me one step before I pushed her down on the floor while hugging her. She's laughing and I'm crying. Everybody else is quiet because they're waiting for me to stop crying and I don't really care if it takes me a day.

She's so fucking worth it.

My hug gets tighter but she doesn't seem to mind.

It takes me ten minutes to calm down. Everybody else was downstairs—it was just me and her. I push myself up and look at her, she's smiling with her eyes closed and it secures all my worries. My heart is beating so fast because she's so beautiful. She opens her eyes and laughs. It's music to my ears and my heart jumps in joy.

She remembers.

She remembers.

She remembers.

I caress her face and she pouts. She grabs the back of my head, leaning our foreheads together. Our faces our so close and she's still pouting. But I can feel her breath. She whispers, "I'm not so fragile." Before she pushes her lips against mine and it's soft and slow. We're relishing on it and her lips is chapped and dry—but it's still perfect as I kiss back. I love her, I love her so damn much. My heart swells and I think it's too much.

But you know, nothing's ever too much when it's her.

I break the kiss and kiss her face as she laughs again, trying to push me off. I missed her. I missed her so fucking much, oh god. After that, I hug her again because I've missed her warmth. She's hugging me back and I snuggle her neck, sniffing a whiff of her scent because I couldn't do that when she didn't remember me. She kisses my forehead and whispers in my ear, "I'm here. I'm here. I remember. I remember everything, Jeff."

"Do you remember when you were...?"

"Yeah."

Oh. She remembers the moments when she still had an amnesia. But I didn't care, really.

"I'm so happy." I tell her in a whisper because I can't scream anymore. Looks like I overdid it a while ago. I can tell she's smiling as she rubs her cheek with mine. I look at her and she leans our forehead again, sighing with delight. It makes me sigh too.

"Me too. Me too." She chants and I grin as my heart was filled to the brim.

She's mine.

My dear ________. And she finally remembers.

READER-CHAN'S POV

He's hugging me so tight as I am doing to him, too. It's not only him who's been missing, I've missed him. I might not have known, but I felt it. I knew it. We stayed there for another five minutes before he finally decided to stop his breakdown. We came back down and I ran since I've really missed the Creepypastas. When we arrived downstairs, everyone's shouting and clapping at us. We're holding hands and it's firm and secure, like someone will tear us apart from each other. We smile at each other.

I saw a cake on the table and laugh, "Whose birthday is it??"

Jeff looks at me with a raised eyebrow but he's smiling. "Every celebration needs a cake." He reaches for my hand but BEN stops us.

"Wait, wait, I have the most cliche song for this."

Jeff groans but I laugh since I was interested on what song he's about to sing. "Yo! Bring the beat in!"

BEN shoves Savannah and Theo grudgingly goes to her side with a ukelele. Slenderman looks at Theo, as if surprised that he plays ukelele. Or not. "Where did you get that?" Theo looks at him with a grin but doesn't answer. I laugh. Slenderman looks like he's scowling but agh—whatever, Savannah looks nervous so I winked at her and gave her a thumbs up. She nods furiously and Jeff decided to sit on the step of the staircase as he dragged me along with him. He sat me on his lap and I blush at the position.

Savannah coughs. "Okay, so...uh, I'm just gonna sing and everyone can sing along if you know this song and ya know—"

"Just get on with it, Sav." Jeff says and I shushed him for being rude. Jeff looks at me with amusement and I roll my eyes. I look at Savannah and nod and she thinks it's a cue to sing so she does. Theo starts playing too.

"Wise men say, 'Only fools rush in,'"

Ah, I know this song. I hummed and Jeff seems to notice as he raises his eyebrows. I look at him and shrug. "What?" He smiles and shakes his head, dismissing our conversation. I don't mind, I'd like to concentrate on the song. But he's quite a distraction.

"But I can't help falling in love with you," Savannah looked at Theo, smiling and Theo seemed to flush red as Savannah winked at him. He continued playing, as if he was never bothered how Savannah stole looks at him. I look between the two, confused. Jeff keeps up with me and mouths, "I'll tell you later." which seemed a promise and I'm glad. I shook it off.

"Shall I stay?" Savannah sang and winked at me. I blushed and hid my red face in Jeff's neck. He didn't seem to mind but he clutched to me tightly and held me closer to him. I sighed in content and looked back at Savannah. She's singing so loudly that everybody's quiet. She sings loud and it's not perfect since she's a little out of tune but not really that noticeable. Even though it's loud, she's singing softly.

"Would it be a sin?" Savannah continued, wiggling her eyebrows at Theo who glared back at her. I laughed at this. No doubt, I might just know what's happening between those two. I imitated Savannah's actions and wiggled my eyebrows at Jeff, who smiled and kissed my cheek. It was a surprise but I smiled nonetheless, blushing.

"If I can't help falling in love with you," Savannah points at Theo and Theo's so red now. Jeff gave her a thumbs up and I giggled. Jeff then looks at me and mouths an, "I love you." It's enough for me to kiss him in front of them so I did. He didn't expect it but he still smiles.

"Like a river flows, surely to the sea~" Savannah shuddered at the thought of water and I lean in Jeff. Theo's ignoring Savannah but he seems to be smiling.

"Darling, so it goes," Savannah hooks her arm with Theo's, carefully not messing up his strumming. I'm swaying to the music because it feels so good and right. And then, everybody started singing as soon as the next line was sang.

"Some things are meant to be," I laugh and Jeff nuzzles my neck. He's being cute and I can't help but press kisses on his face. He's laughing and I smile. As cliché as it sounds, we're really meant to be. Slenderman didn't sing though but Jeff told me he's a really good singer. Why am I not surprised.

"Take my hand," I intertwine my fingers with Jeff's and he's blushing—it's so noticeable. It's cute and it's making me smile and blush like an idiot. I lean our forehead together and I'm ready to kiss him, but I don't. We rub our noses together and he laughs. My heart's beating so much I think it's going to burst.

"Take my whole life, too," I sang the next line, more like whispering it. He smiles and and holds my hand up as he opens his mouth.

"For I can't help falling in love with you," he mumbles but it's full of emotion. The way he said 'you' was full of love and I can't help but fall all over again. I'm sure he feels the same way too. My stomach is full of butterflies and it's so uncomfortable in a really good way—I don't know how, though.

"Like a river flows—" he carries me by the waist and we spun around. We're laughing while everyone's singing. He puts me down and rearranges our position.

We're going to dance and it makes me smile. It'll be our first time. And I'm just full of happiness. I'm sure it's evident on my face.

"Surely to the sea~" he leans our bodies together as we sway to the music. He keeps on stepping on my feet and it's not perfect—but it is. It looks like we're hugging since we're so close and I can't see his face.

"Darling, so it goes~" I sang the first word and his ear goes red and it seems like he's blushing from the embarrassment. It's cute so I nuzzle his ear with my nose, giggling. We're swaying very slowly now, just enjoying each other's warmth.

"Some things are meant to be," he twirls me and I come back right in his arms. We sway again while my back is facing his chest and as he holds me. He rests his chin on my shoulder and I kiss his cheek but I actually just push my face on his cheek.

"Take my hand," we started to slow down again and he intertwines our fingers again as he kisses my knuckles. It's sweet and slow. And I think I'm going to die because my heart is about to burst—I think it's already bursting. My hands are shaky and I feel breathless every second.

"Take my whole life, too," he looks up at me with those menacing yet gentle eyes. He smiles and outs another kiss before we started to sway to the music again.

"For I can't help falling in love with you," I murmur to him and he nods like he's approving or agreeing on a matter but he's not—he's smiling at me encouragingly but I should be the one looking at him like that. It makes me smile back though. He leans in my ear.

"For I can't help—" he sings in a whisper as he twirls me and catches me in a hug.

"—falling in love with you," we stay like that, unmoving. And his embrace is so relaxing and warm, I almost melt through it. He's whispering something to me now and it's in a challenging tone.

"It's nine words but I have only three words for you." I smile at this and whisper back.

"Oh yeah? Well, I have four words for you."

He smiles at me.

I'm so glad he didn't give up.

I'm glad to be back.
