The fact of the matter was I didn’t want
to live without Jack. Just the thought of going the rest of my lifetime without
seeing his face gave me a sick feeling somewhere just below my heart. If life was
fair, Jack would be a living, breathing guy made of flesh and blood who would
wrap me in his arms forever…until death do us part. But as luck would have it,
death had already kept us apart. I’d fallen in love with a ghost. He had my
heart, and it had become far too painful to allow him to keep it.
Sobs of complete sorrow shook me, but I
continued to press on, never missing a note. My face was soaked with the salty
dampness from my eyes. Tears fell indiscriminately on to the keys below.
I came to the end of the song, stood up
and strode out of the room with a new resolve. It was time to figure things out
once and for all. The evil that had taken over my home had to go.
Jack consumed my thoughts. He was the
reason my heart beat a little bit faster each morning, the reason I opened my
eyes every day, and why my brain couldn’t focus on any one thing longer than a
few minutes at a time. He was my world, and as far as worlds went, he was the
sole reason why my sun rose each morning. In no way could I exist without Jack
at the center of my universe, but in the end, I knew I would have to figure out
a way to do just that.
I was only 17 and had an entire lifetime
ahead of me. Time would pass, and I would age. Jack would remain the same. I
forced myself to come to grips with the fact that Jack would forever be a young
soldier—a beautiful boy—while I grew older by the day. It had become apparent
that I needed to stop living in a fantasy world and deal with facts.
Jack was dead.
It was time to rid my home of the darkness
that had taken over and then release Jack from his perpetual prison. Then we
would have to face the inevitable.
