--

Sitting down and resting next to Jack as a week went by in the hospital, you were delighted to know by the doctors that Jack was recovering quite quickly from the blow near his heart after the traumatic event that had happened between Jack, Lucy, and yourself. Although you weren't really surprised by his ability to heal abnormally fast, you were thankful for it instead. A normal human body wouldn't be able to sustain his or her own life after such a crucial injury or a blow/stab to the chest like so. A stable heartbeat would not be in favour of the human body and would actually require surgery immediately with a low chance of succeeding. However, Jack was different. His body was just so mysterious to you. He could heal with his saliva... His saliva and body could kill off infectious bacteria or viruses... What else couldn't he do with that strong body of his? 

However, to you, you were still a little traumatized about what had happened. You had never thought that anything like this would occur in your entire life. You... really did think you were going to be a normal human being... going to university to obtain your degree... get a job.. marry a mediocre person... have children... and eventually... meet your death at the end. You never would've expected Lucy, a supernatural being to... take over your body. You also wouldn't even have thought such a pretty and nice girl ought to be so agonizing and repulsive. Then again, looks can be deceiving at times and seriously, what could have you expected from entering and residing in the world of demons rather than your own. You should have realized the moment you met Jack, your destined human life had already turned upside down. Although, you wouldn't argue with this path you've entered.  

You glanced down at him a little disheartened. Even though Jack had protected you dearly until the very end, even though Lucy had put you through hell by manipulating your thoughts and implanting terrible sights and recollection through your memory section of the brain... You still couldn't help, but feel a little... sad. Of course, you were sad about what had happened to Jack and what Jack and everyone else had to go through in order to protect you. However, what lingered more in your head and pleaded your guilt even more was... your selfishness. Your selfishness in succumbing to the imaginative thoughts of Jack's feelings... feelings about Lucy. You wouldn't say you were anxious about Lucy meeting Jack through you, but you were more scared and anxious about the feelings he might have developed or felt back as he had engaged in conversation with her, through you. Despite the fact that she tried to kill him, love is more than that... Or maybe... That's just human love? It didn't matter, you have implanted these imaginative and unsupported thoughts inside your head without even confirming with Jack, you were playing yourself and falling into your own trap, trap of pain.

"What are you thinking about?" 

Came a dark and scruff voice from behind. 

Flinching ever so gently at being startled for a moment, you turned your head slightly, peering over your shoulder. Appeared before you was a tall, slender man with pale white skin, no facial appearance, and a well suited outfit. It was Slenderman. 

You wouldn't say you were on 100% good terms with him, as in being friends and companion wise. But, you did manage to speak to him about the situation that had happened when he had demanded what had happened inside the manor. He didn't punish you nor did he put you up inside a dungeon. Essentially, you were allowed to return back home as Slenderman had offered to take you back. It just basically meant Slenderman was not angered by you nor was he blaming any of this messy situation on you. However, you had refused his offer and resided in this world to be next to Jack. Why on earth would you ever leave Jack by himself as he heals...? He's your boyfriend and someone you want trust in and as well as trust in you. 

"Nothing." You gazed back down at Jack's slumber state as you spoke. 

Slenderman only gazed at you from behind, staring at your melancholy shoulders. If he could do one thing for a girl's happy smile, what would he do? He didn't like seeing this sad side of you either because he would know, Jack would hate this look on you as well. Actually, he knew the others wouldn't be very pleased to see you in this depressive state either. 

"... You don't mind coming out with me for a bit?" Slenderman questioned. You turned around to face him, your eyes weren't resisting, your lips curved into a faint smile. You nodded and stood his hand. 

~*~ 

Taking your walk outside the hospital with Slenderman, you were a little frightened. Not much about your safety as you know, you can trust this man. You were more frightened because.. what if he had strike some sort of conversation with you and you did not know how to reply? This was also your first time together with Slenderman. The other times when you were talking to him or when you were being questioned, Jeff and Ben were always by your side, making sure nothing would happen to you, although they knew deep down, nothing would happen to you... They just wanted to be there for you and to show you support. It's a little weird coming from two psychotic murderers, but you can guess it's because you are someone important to their friend; Jack. 

"(Name)."

You tensed up a little. "Y-Yes?" 

"I know you are thinking about Lucy and Jack." 

You stiffened as a bit and stopped walking. You couldn't even bring yourself to look your lover's master in the "eyes". "W-What ever do you mean?" You played it gentle and unsubtle, with a questioning tone. 

"I can sense it from you." 

There was no point in hiding it. You are thinking about them and even pictured what would've happened if they had gotten back together that night. You didn't want to lie to yourself. "I'm not thinking about them." You lied anyways. 

Slenderman stopped walking and gazed down at you. Although his facial features weren't there, you knew he was gazing into your eyes. He knew that you were lying. He can read it from your body motion to the sound of your lying voice. However, he didn't push the topic further as he felt it would be rude to intrude too much into a business that had nothing to do with him. A word of advice was all he can offer. 

"Whether you enjoy keeping personal matters to yourself or not, I would like to reinstate this." 

You tilted your head and listened.

"Jack never goes back on his words. He would never show betrayal towards anybody's affection towards him. He never does." He paused, turning his attention back towards where he was heading. "And I would like you to respect his belief, and wish him a full and healthy recovery instead of worrying or pondering on things that do not matter." 

His words stabbed you hard. You were squashed down by those words of Slenderman. But... He was right. Rather than focusing so much on how you were feeling or how envious you felt towards the imaginative love you portrayed between Lucy and Jack... Everyone risked his and her lives trying to protect you and trying each and one of their hardest to cheer you up, the least you could do is thank everyone and show full support for Jack's recovery. 

And what the hell were you doing?

And you call yourself his girlfriend? 

You gritted your teeth in anger. I hate myself. 

~*~

A couple days went by and still, Jack has been treated to plenty of different medication. The term medication is just another word for slushed organs. He responded to the medications that were injected inside his body greatly and did show signs of successful recovery. The only thing missing from this entire picture was his consciousness. The only thing you really wished was for Jack to wake up. You hadn't fully thought about your true responsibilities as a lover. You were still trying your best to drive those insane thoughts of Lucy and Jack away and trying, yet struggling to drive in the positive thoughts and accepting what Slenderman had indicated about Jack's beliefs.

You were currently making your way over to the hospital from the manor. It wasn't that far of a walk, but the walk itself was enough to allow you to clear your selfish thoughts and to allow fresh and positive ones to flow in. You prayed a little to particularly no one, wishing the moment you show up in his unit, he would be awake. 

~*~

"J-Jack?" Your eyes widened as you had walked into the unit he was resting and healing in. You weren't surprised to see him awake, but you were damn worried to see him standing up on his own without the guidance of anyone, such as a nurse or doctor. You quickly ran over to his side as he gazed down at you. His disheveled brunette hair shifted messily along side with his tilted head as he stared at you with his eyeless holes. "How are you feeling?" You asked him as you held onto him by the waist gently.

"Great?" He chuckled as he slowly brought his cold hands up to your cheeks. He was delighted to see how worried you were over such a monster. "Well, I'm feeling a lot better after seeing you now." He smirked, engulfing his hands around your puffed warm, tinted cheeks.

You were puzzled by his immediate, playful gesture towards you. You missed being touched by him and you absolutely missed hearing the sound of his voice. You thanked that your prayers came true, that you would arrive in this unit to see this wonderful man awake. However, you could guess that prayer came with guilt. You were beginning to feel off again, you began to feel a little disheartened. The same feelings you had before you had the talk with Slenderman. The feelings of having no closure in your heart, truly. A part of you wanted to clarify the Lucy situation, while the other part wanted to shut it down and put the past aside. You looked down in disappointment. You were absolutely disgusted with yourself. You even got warned by Slenderman, by him telling you to never doubt Jack. That should've been enough to convince you... So why.. Why did you have this irrational feeling? Why on earth are you feeling this... especially when your man is wide awake, standing before you, fucking alive! Why are you letting these imaginative thoughts and feelings play with you?

Jack had noticed your troubled expression and tilted your chin up. Your gaze met with his. "You look distraught, what is it?"

Your lips wanted to move. They wanted to tell him exactly what had been going on inside your mind. Nothing left your lips, but only left him with a slight gape of your plumped and juicy lips. You wanted to tell him, seriously you did. However, you would be selfish. You would look and actually come off as a selfish individual who did not worry about his or her partner and only worried about oneself. You didn't want that. You made it very clear to yourself.

You shook your head and smiled at him. "Nothing is bothering me." You wrapped your arms around him gently and brushed your cheeks against his strong chest, which was bandaged quite neatly. He was truly warm and you loved it dearly.

Jack, however, knew and felt the irrational feelings extending from your facial expressions and troubled voice. He knew something was wrong and he would do anything to find out why. He wrapped his arms around you in response to your previous actions and stroke your head.

"You can tell me anything, (Name)."

With those reassuring words you had just heard from Jack himself, you began soaking his bandages that were wrapped around his chest with tears. You were so guilty, so terrible, and so disgusted with yourself that you couldn't bare to even look your significant other in the eye(or eye sockets). You whined a little more into his chest as your grasp tightened a little more around him. 

"I-I'm so sorry... I-I'm so insecure about our relationship right now."

You hated yourself.

Jack, however, wasn't surprised at the statement you had just provided to his eardrums. He continued to stroke your soft laces, a signal to allow you to continue. 

"I-I truly am worried about you. I want y-you to recover and to be happy." You paused, and stared up at the handsome, and charming man who held you closely into his protected arms still. His warmth and comfort allowed you to feel at ease, at ease in confronting him about your truest feelings. "But.. I can't help it... I feel so jealous. W-What if... you fell for Lucy.. When she was inside of me... What if you--"

"Just stop."

Those words pierced your heart. Did you hit his nerve? Was he about to leave you? ... What?

No.

"(Name). I'm really glad. I'm really, really glad." Jack paused, chuckling a little. He released you from his arms, walking backwards as he held onto your hands gently as he guided you to his unit bed. He sat down with his legs opened, with you standing in between his thighs. His height that somewhat matched yours, except however, his height still exceeded over yours. "I was starting to feel a little shitty. I thought I was the only one who got jealous." He chuckled more.

His grey fingers laced with your (skin colour) fingers. He smiled and brought you closer to him. "You're truly adorable, (Name)." He wiped the warm tears that rolled down your cheeks. "To answer your question, you're not selfish. You're selfless in fact. You chose me over any other human woman or man. You picked a monster who you know you will experience many difficulties with. You're selfless." He smiled, bringing you into his lap. "And I can't be anymore happier than to have you in my life."

You couldn't take it anymore. You wrapped your arms around Jack's neck and gave him a soft little peck against his cheeks. Everything he had just said, had reassured you. Jack took this opportunity to lay down his cold and chapped lips against your soft and plumped ones. He resisted the upcoming urge to have completely devour you as he knew it would frightened you. He smiled into the kiss and pulled away. "It makes me pretty happy to see you a little jealous."

You pouted.

"It makes me feel at ease. I'm sorry, I guess I'm a little immature as well."

~*~

A few years later, you had graduated from your university as an undergraduate. You lived life outside the city, still inside the house you and your brother had resided in. Your brother however, had actually left on a oversea job for about 2 years. This meant that Jack was able to live together with you when he was in his human form. It also meant you were able to bring friends over and friends from the other realm. Sometimes, you even stayed over at his little cabin. You were able to teach Jack many new things, such as cooking. Even though Jack still, wasn't able to eat real human food, he was happy enough to learn and to cook for you. He had offered organs to you one time, but you had refused immediately. It was a little selfish, but... you were still human. You aren't going to succumb to that level of insanity, not at all. 

And Jack himself, had actually withdraw from your university the week after he had been disclosed from the hospital in his world. Yes, he had continued to hunt down organs, specifically kidneys. However, the kidneys he had hunted down and the many other organs, were all infected with some sort of disease. This meant that they were mostly organs that were unsuited for the human body and of course, were thrown away. The percentage of him actually stealing fresh and working vital organs still did happen, but the percentage of that was quite low. This was something that he had trouble with at first, but slowly adapted to it in the end. Slenderman and the others however, do not know of this promise and probably would not even be very happy with this new knowledge anyways. 

Currently, Jack was lying down on your lap inside your living room. He couldn't stop himself from listening and feeling the little kicks that the little life was presenting to him inside your pregnant belly(it's actually uterus man, but we'll just call it belly).

"She's going to be a fighter when she grows up."

"Hopefully she doesn't take after her father's thirst for hunger."

"And hopefully she doesn't follow her mother's little nag."

You pouted a little at his remark. Jack laughed a little and sat up. He placed his pale hands, now turning back to grey onto your belly and smiled. "I know for sure, she'll look as beautiful as her mother."

And with that, a little closure of kiss fluttered into a beautiful happy ending for the two.
