Peggy POV

I couldn’t accept the fact that he’s gone. I can hear the monitor beeping continuosly. I felt Kyle loosen his arms around me so I run towards Jayden. ​​

I kneeled beside the bed and held his hand.

“You promised me! How could you? What will happen to me now? We have dreams remember? Jayden please. Love, I can’t live without you. I’ll follow you, if you won’t come back! Please. I love you so much!” I was wailing.

Sophie rushed towards me holding me on the shoulders.

“Peggy, he’s gone.” She whispered.

“No! He’s not! I won’t let him leave me. Sophie he’ll come back.” I said almost hysterrical.

I will neved accept it. He’s not dead. I know he wouldn’t leave me like this. His hand is still warm. I know he’s still here.

I stood up and leaned towards his face. My heart was so broken right now. I pressed my forehead with his and talked to him.

“If you won’t wake up, I will hunt down every one who hurt you and your mother. And then I will follow you even in hell.” I said before brushing my trembling lips into his.

They said true love’s kiss can awaken a princess, maybe it could happen to a prince as well, I thought to myself. I know this is not a fairy tale. This is real. I know if he won’t wake up, he’ll be gone forever whether I like it or not. But I’m still hoping he will come back to me.

I couldn’t let go of his lips. This might be the last time I can kiss him. My lips were trembling and I can taste my own tears when it flowed between our lips.

Then a miracle happened.

‘Beep’ ‘Beep’ ‘Beep’

My eyes widened. I looked at the monitor and I could see the lines were moving. The doctors came back and check on him. I was still crying when I felt his hand move.

“Jayden?” I murmured. The he slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone rushed towards him. His father couldn’t believe his eyes. He’s back!

My heart couldn’t explain the happiness I felt. He moved his eyes as if he was searching, then he found me.

I was still looking at him. I couldn’t move. Is this true? Is he really awake?

“Love?” He said.

Then tears fell from my eyes again. I felt like I was crying forever. I felt exhausted but right now I’m happy.

He raised his hand and brushed my face with it. He wiped my tears and I held his hand. I missed his touch.

“You’ve been crying. I’m sorry.” He said.

I shook my head and smiled.

“You came back. That’s more important. Thank you for coming back to me.” I said, softly.

Then he looked at the people behind me.

“Dad, I’m sorry for worrying you again.” He said while looking at his father.

His dad was crying earlier but he’s already back to his usual self. Showing Jayden no weakness.

“It’s okay. Just don’t worry Peggy anymore.” He answered, smiling at him.

“Kyle, Old man.” He greeted grandpa and my brother.

“Percy, thank you for coming here. Sophie, nice hair.” He continued.

I didn’t even notice Sophie’s hair. It was gold and wavy before, looking at it now, it’s black but still wavy. She was still pretty though.

The doctors said Jayden’s okay. He also insisted he’s okay and asked to remove the IV’s and all the machines connected to him.

“We’ll leave you two. We know you wanted to be alone especially him.” Grandpa said while pointing at Jayden.

I chuckled.

“I missed you.” He said when the door closes. “Can you lay down beside me?” He asked.

I smiled and tucked myself inside the blanket. My head was on his other arm so I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I raised my head to look at him.

“I missed you too. I know you’ll come back to me.” I said.

“Thank you for not giving up on me. I heard everything you told me when I was unconcious. I really wanted to go back but I was trapped again. I made you cry. I’m sorry.” He said while touching me gently on the face.

“It’s fine. But try to scare me like that again then I really beat the hell out of you ” I said.

Looking at him, I really couldn’t imagine myself living without him. I’m really thankful he came back to me. I was just staring at him. As if he’ll vanish if I blink.

“I’m not going anywhere. You can rest. I’ll be here beside you.” He said in a gentle voice.

I shook my head. I’m really scared that he won’t be beside me when I wake up. He kissed me on the forehead but didn’t say a word. I know he felt guilty because of what happened.

“Love?” I whispered.

“Hmm?”

“Let’s get married when we turned 18.” I blurted.

He was surprised. He looked at me, confused. I raised my hand and showed him the ring. His eyes widened and couldn’t believe what he’s seeing.

“Peggy, I-I.”

“Hey, I’m proposing. Are you going to say no?” I pouted.

He chuckled and pulled me closer to his, hugging me tight.

“Of course not! I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you Peg. God! I love you so much!” He said while looking at me with his sprakling eyes.

“I love you more.” I said.

He leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead, then to my cheeks before kissing me on my lips. It was gentle and loving. I felt his lips tremble. I frowned. I pushed him gently and looked into his eyes. He was blushing. There were tears from his eyes.

“Hey. What is it?” I asked.

“I’m happy.” He simply said.

“Love, I’m happy too.”

I moved on top of him and kissed him. This time I was aggressive. I slid my tongue into his mouth, tasting him. I was longing for him. A few days without him seem forever.

We were panting when I released his lips. He was smiling.

“Make love to me.” He said.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked.

“I’m stronger than a bull. And besides, you’re going to pleasure me this time. I’ll just lay down here while you do your thing.” He said, grinning.

“You’re a devil.” I said while running my fingers to his chest.

“I love you Margaret.” He said. It’s the first time he called me by my real name. I liked it.

“I love you more, my love.” I answered before kissing him again.
