Leaving or Staying

( Your P.O.V. )

I woke up in a bed that I had only seen once before. I stood up and realized I was in the same room I woke up in those many years ago. When I first met Jeb. I stood up and went downstairs. I saw Ben sitting on the couch with Mary.

   " Ben?"

He turned towards me. He stood up and gestured for me to follow him. I followed him down to the basement. We walked up to a door. The door was familiar to me, yet it seemed more depressed than usual. This was the room I stayed in when Jeb was alive.

   " He's in there. I found him last night. The power you had made the vegetation that was on top of him become bits. They disappeared leaving his body behind. Along with something else."

I nodded and walked inside. I shut the door behind me and looked around the room. I saw Jeb laying on the bed. I walked over to his body and it looks like the town patched him up. They tried, but he died a long time ago. A year after I was frozen. I got a chair and sat by his side. I took his hand and held it. I cried on to his arm.

   " I'm so sorry Jeb."

I gripped his hand never wanting to let go. I knew I had to. Just like when I hugged him that one time before I left

( Flashback )

   " The people of Alta are going to miss you and BenTake this."

He handed me a stone.

   " If you ever want to come back just hold the stone and say, Alta."

I nodded slowly and we hugged once more. I didn't want to let go, and at the same time, I knew I had too.

( Flashback Over )

I had too. I had duties that I had to take care of back at home.

   ' Wait Ben said something else came with his body '

I felt something cold on my shoulder. I sat up and gripped his hand tightly and turn around. I saw a purple outline of a person. It outlined the person and it showed all the features of their face and body. They smiled at me as I looked at them shocked.

   " Jeb..."

His smile widened. He got on his knee in front of me. He reached out a hand and tried to hold my cheek, but his hand went through my face. I chuckled along with him.

   " You know. Since you were the one that brought me back with your magic you can hug me. I can't hug you, but you can hug me."

I immediately jumped and hugged him. He was right I was able to hug him. It felt like he was alive. I could feel his hands resting on my back.

   " Jeb I missed you."

   " I know. I saw what happened from Heaven."

I didn't say another word. I just hugged him. He didn't say another word either. We just sat there on our knees hugging each other.

   " I found your surprise."

   " You did? How did you like it?"

   " I loved it jeb. it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw."

   " Heh, not as beautiful as you."

I pulled away and looked him in his ghostly eyes and he did the same.

   " You know I can't stay."

   " What?"

   " Y/n right now I have two options. One is to go back into my body and live for a while. Two is that I go back to Heaven and remain dead here in the real world. I can't live like a ghost forever."

   " What do you plan to do?"

   " I plan to go back to Heaven."

   " What!?"

   " Y/n I lived my life and it's time someone else carries my torch. You will be with your friends and I'll meet you again someday.Okay?"

   " ..."

   " I know this will be hard, but I can't live forever. We both know this Y/n."

I nodded and felt the tears leave my eyes.

   " Do you think that if I had stayed then things would be different?"

   " I do. If you had stayed I probably would have kissed you by now, and when that war came I would have escaped with you and as many citizens as I could take. Things would have been completely different Y/n."

   " It's all my fault."

   " No it's not. You knew you had to go back. I wish you didn't, but your friends never stopped searching for you. I know I wouldn't have either, and I would always have that grief with me. Y/n you did the right thing okay?"

I didn't say anything. I looked up at him and he tried to hold my cheek again. I leaned into his hand and felt it against my skin. A tear escaped my eye. he kissed my forehead and we hugged one more time. Then he disappeared.

We had the funeral that same day. That same day I told Ben that I was going home. We hugged and I left.

   " Aphmau." I said.

Then I was teleported on to a boat. We were at sea. I saw Katlyn, Aph, Laurence, and Aaron on the boat. Aphmau noticed me and ran towards me.

   " Y/n we were so worried! What happened Y/n?"

That's when I broke down and cried my final tears for Jeb. I told them everything, but continued to cry.
