Chapter 37

<<Jonathan POV>>

I sat on a rock and waited patiently for Delirious' return. My patience was running short and my head kept falling off of my hand cause I was slowly drifting asleep. I was falling asleep for about the fifth time until a bright light shines behind me, assuming it was delirious.

"It's about time you showed up-" I turned and it wasn't delirious at all. It was a girl. She had long brown hair and amazing blue eyes, she had the whitest dress on and had wings that were as tall as me.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked, I was at a loss for words, she reminded me of that girl from Applebee's which reminded me of-

"Jon. It's me, Kota." Called it.

"Kota? What're you doing here? How are you here?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm not supposed to. Listen, you're messing with some powerful stuff, stay away from Delirious."

"But why? All he wants is to end my suffering."

"Exactly. Think of it as the bad way, Jon. He's a demon, not your conscious."

"I don't understand, he seemed so nice? Why do people do this!?"

"Jon, I know you're angry-"

"Angry?! I'm furious!"

"You need Evan. He can take away your pain, he's the end to your suffering. Trust me."

"But you see what he did!"

"That was his mind talking, he needed to listen from his heart. And he is now, and he's in trouble, you need to fight against delirious to get him though."

"I said I hated him..I feel guilty." I look away from her.

"It's ok, we all make mistakes but it makes us human. Now go." The aura of light she created vanished away. I didn't even say goodbye, she was right though. I've been foolish to believe Delirious was here to help when he was here to kill.

'Ah, here he is! My favorite person. Ready?'

"I'm not going." I whispered.

'What did you say?' He growled

"I said I'm not going! You let Evan go or else! I will not stand by and watch other people control me! You're not real!"

'I feed off your anger! Stop this now! Evan is no use to us-'

"Evan is mine! I belong to me! Yo be gone! Im not your space anymore!" I closed my eyes shut and opened them again. Not a trace of Delirious was there, I smiled to myself. I won.

"Evan.." I whispered. I ran down the dirt pass I came up from, and ran all the way back to Mandalay Bay.

<<Evan POV>>

I sat with my back against a wall. Staring at the door with puffy red eyes.

"This is it.." I whispered, closing my eyes and letting a couple more tears fall. "Tonight I lose Jonathan cause of me being stupid." I put the knife I killed Marcel with up to my own throat. I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling, seeing the light from below of the busy city light up the room.

"I just hope he knows I still love him.." I close my eyes and slowly put the knife up until the door burst open cause ing me to drop the knife. "Jonathan!" He slowly walked to me and kneeled down in front of me.

"Evan. Don't." He pushed the knife away and grabbed my face, examining for cuts. Once he found their weren't any, he pulled me forward to his lips, molding them together perfectly. We sat there for a while until we broke for air.

"I'm so so sorry Jon. I-"

"Evan..it's ok. I still love you, I always will." He hugged me tight and sat on my lap as I hugged back. We soon fell asleep like that.

~*The Next Day*~

I held his hand as we walked along the sidewalk in a tranquil park. The sun was half way to setting and the birds were quietly chirping once in a while.

"This is perfect, why couldn't it be like this instead of us killing tons of people?"

"It's not my fault you're so fucking sexy that Adam fell for you." He joked and I laid my head on him.

"The people we've lost. Marcel, Kota, Your mom, Trench, and Adam." I said and Jon squeezed my hand.

"4 of those people would be happy to see us now." He said and I rose a brow.

"4? Don't you mean 3?"

"I forgot, turns out, Trench wasn't bad. She just wanted to prove Adam wrong so he could stop calling her Trench and start calling her by her name. Elizabeth." I nodded

"Well those 4 would be extremely happy to see me do this.." I pulled out the ocean blue box out of my back right pocket and knelt to the ground on one knee.

"Jonathan Dennis, The moment I saw you in school, I knew I had feelings for you but I couldn't show it cause I was afraid of what my family and people would think. The times I bullied you and called you names were a mistake and I felt guilty ever since they said you were missing. Now that we've met again, I've fallen way harder than I should for you. We've had our ups and downs on our roller coaster but I wouldn't want it to end. So I say this to you know, and I mean it for real, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my days with you and you only and maybe a few kids here and there but what I'm trying to say is..Jonathan? Will you marry me?" I opened the case to show the diamond covered engagement ring inside. He gasped and covered his mouth. Tears were rolling down his cheeks and I smiled to my self, knowing he was happy.

"Yes!" He said, my heart did backflips. I slid the ring on his finger and he admired it. I stood and hugged him, spinning him around until we got dizzy.

"You just made me the happiest man alive."
