Chapter 1: "I know how you feel"
Jared's Journal
Day 205
Broken. Destroyed. Melted. Lost. Sad. Depressed. Gone. All gone. It was the unthinkable yesterday. I was there and I saw all of it. The fight. The destruction. The break-up. I should've done something. But there was nothing I could do. I can't change the past, because the past is the past. And now, Finn's lonely, Jake's upset, Simon has no home, Flame Princess... well.. there are a lot of things I feel about her. It is not good. And I... I feel all of those feelings.
I know what must be done: I need to fix this. I need them back together, again. I'm gonna do what is right. Today, I'm gonna make things right.
Jared's P.O.V
Location: Tree Fort
I finished writing and closed my Journal. I can hear Finn moaning on his bed. Me and Jake were right by his side. We both felt bad and sad. I know what I was gonna go through today, but.. I think it might take a while for everything to go back to normal. I hope I'm right about that.
I turn my head to Jake and whispered, "Can I talk to you for a moment?" He nodded and we both stand up.
Before we went downstairs, I heard Jake said to Finn, "Hey Finn, will be right back. Okay?"
"Ok", Finn replied, sadly.
Me and Jake normally went downstairs, to the kitchen. "What do you want talk about, Jared?", he asked.
"Yesterday", I began, "was a very bad day for Finn and me. I knew how much Finn loved Flame Princess. He shouldn't had that dream. None of this would've happen if we hadn't told him to let FP and Ice King fight again. So technically, it's all our faults. To tell you the truth, I've never felt so much guilt in my life. So today, I have decided to fix this. I'm going to Flame Princess's house."
"What!? Dude, you heard what Finn said yesterday! Flame Princess needs some time alone!", Jake replied, angrily.
"I KNOW THAT!", I yelled. Several tears came out of my eyes. Jake didn't said anything else. There was silence for a few seconds. I calm down a bit and said, "Look, I just need to try. Just trust me. Please."
Jake put a hand behind his neck and said, "I think I know how much Finn and Flame Princess's relationship means to you. Alright, I'll let you go. Just promise me to come back, safely."
"I promise. And can you promise me, to keep a close eye on Finn? He has been depressed lately and I don't want anything bad to happen to him.", I said.
"I promise", Jake replied.
"Good." I then walked to the front door. Before I left the house, I said to him, "Well... wish me luck."
I saw a grin pop out of Jake's face. I smiled and closed the front door. I turned around and saw the path to Flame Princess's house. I took a deep breath and started to walk on the path.
While I was walking to her house, I sung a song to pass the time. I also heard music coming from the background:
Ever wonder 'bout what he's doing.
How it all turn to lies.
Sometimes, I think that it's better.
To never ask why.
(Music)
Where there is desire,
there is gonna be a flame!
Where there is a flame,
someone's bound to get burned!
But just because it burns,
doesn't mean you're gonna die!
You gotta get up,
and try, and try, and try. (3x)
(Music)
Funny how the heart can be deceiving.
More than just a couple times.
Why do we fall in love so easy?
Even, when it's not right.
(Music)
Where there is desire,
there is gonna be a flame!
Where there is a flame,
someone's bound to get burned!
But just because it burns,
doesn't mean you're gonna die!
You gotta get up,
and try, and try, and try. (3x)
(Music)
Every worry, that it might be ruined,
does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing,
are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
Where there is desire,
there is gonna be a flame!
Where there is a flame,
someone's bound to get burned!
Just because it burns,
doesn't mean you're gonna die!
You gotta get up,
and try, and try, and try. (7x)
(Music)
You gotta get up,
and try, and try, and try. (2x)
Right after I finish the song, I was close to Flame Princess's house. Well, this is it. I hope she's home, I thought. I slowly walked up to her house. The closest I could get, was several feet away. I didn't want to get burned.
I took another deep breath and began to speak:
"Flame Princess,... I know how you feel. You feel betrayed. Forgotten. Abandon. Confused. And sad. 'sigh' Look, I know this is hard to say but, to tell you the truth, it was really me and Jake's fault. We told him to start another fight between you and Ice King. We told him to write those letters. Look, it just happen too fast, okay!? I didn't know what I was saying! I'm so sorry! I didn't know this would happen! Look, if you're too mad to forgive me, just.. just slap me! Punch me! Burn me! I don't care! Do you what ever you want! I just want to get this over with."
I had tears coming out of my eyes, again. Suddenly, I saw.. her, coming out. I quickly closed my eyes and shuddered, waiting for... anything to come.
But suddenly, another unthinkable thing happen.
She...
Oh Glob, I thought.
To be continued...
What is Flame Princess gonna do to Jared? Is she gonna burn him? Find out, in the next chapter of "Try"!
The song in this chapter is called, "Try" by P!nk.
