He sat alone in his office, shaking and muttering curses under his breath.
“Why won’t I just fucking die.”
He muttered to himself, eyes filled with tears. He clutched his amulet in disdain. Why was this the way his life went?
All he was back then was an unheard of scientist, trying to make a name for himself. And he can’t tell if he achieved his goal or if he completely lost sight of it. After everything that happened, was he even himself anymore? Was he known for his hard work, or just because of his immortality? Was it really going to be this way for the rest of his life, seeing everyone die time and time again?
He tried not to think of it, squeezing the pendant in his hand and smashing it to the ground. He was practically sobbing at this point, as he continued to smash his fist into the cold, hard floor. His other hand clutching his mouth, as he let out muffled screams. He watched the scarlet liquid begin to pour down from his fingers, the pain red hot. Why was this happening to him of all people? What was so different about him?
He sat there in pure shock, trying to numb out his cold reality. If only I never came to this dammed foundation. It hurt to think, but it was the truth. He was so passionate about it, his loyalty belonging to it completely. Yet, he can’t deny the fact that it ruined him. He couldn’t help but loathe his past self, so exited yet so oblivious.
But then, he was taken out of his mind-numbing daze when he heard the door creak.
“Hon?.. You alright?” you chirped.
Your voice chimed innocently, simply just checking up on your lover.
You opened the door to a horrifying sight. Jack was sitting on the floor, pulling at his hair. His face was buried in his knees, but you could see the reflection of his tears. Something was clearly wrong.
The room was filled with dread, yet you ran straight to him, kneeling down to his level. You cup his face,
“————? What happened?..” you whispered.
He looks back at you, eyes full of regret.
“I’m sorry, I just-“ he choked.
How was he meant to describe how he felt? He loved you, but you were just born immortal. Would you even get it? He swallowed, looking up at you. You gasp, seeing his shattered state.
His hair was disheveled, his hand covered in blood. But the most shocking, was his face. Your once energetic and chaotic boyfriend’s eyes were full of sorrow. Bloodshot, face covered him in dried tears.
You held his face, gently wiping away his tears. You fixed his hair a bit, trying to relax him.
“Darling.. what happened?” you murmured.
He was tired of holding it in. He melted into your touch, starting to let it all out. He hung onto you like a lifeline, sobbing into your chest. You held him close, pressing a gentle kiss on his head as you pet his back. He began to ramble about everything he was feeling, and you began to catch on.
“Why do I have to be this way. Why was I cursed like this? It isn’t fair. None of it is..”
You put your hand under his chin, bringing his head up to look at you.
“Darling..” you said, before pressing a gentle kiss onto his lips.
“I don’t have all the answers, but I can promise you that for as long as we’re together, I’ll make sure you feel loved. I’ll always be by your side to ground you, no matter what happens. I’ll always be here to protect you..”
You pulled him closer, bringing him into your lap for a hug.
“I promise.”
Maybe joining the foundation wasn’t the worst decision he ever made.
