Jamie was a little boy from the town of Burgess who had a quite different experience to that of his friends. For example, he met a group of very strange people who called themselves "The Guardians". Now, you may think they are strange but many many of you will already know who these people are and will have possibly met them yourselves. None other than Santa, The Easter bunny, The Tooth Fairy, The Sandman and Jack Frost. Yes, that does mean that that "saying" that causes frost to appear everywhere and you to slip over when you try to get yourself off to whatever educational place you attend a nightmare, but he does it because, let's be honest it is quite funny.
Jack Frost is a nice man, who is about 18 and wears brown trousers as well as a slightly frozen blue hoodie these days. So yes, he is one of those people who tends to buy the latest trends, and what else would you do if you were alive for over 300 years! Yes, the guardians are immortal but it does cause problems we all deal with, except they have everything forever, good and bad.
Back to Jamie, and while this had happened when he was 7 years old, he had grew into a 18 year old and while not completely believing in the time he actually met these people, their influence had been marked on him quite a bit. For one thing he adored the winter and this influence had rooted him to the core. He was completely blindly in love with the winter times, ignoring pretty much everyone even at his age where most people would just blindly party and get drunk. Instead, Jamie would rather play in the snow, lie in the snow or just watch the snow.
One day while Jamie was lying in the snow, a familiar voice said, "Hey Jamie, you'll catch a cold out here!" Who's voice was this? Jamie knew almost, but it was one of those things you just couldn't put your finger on and it was rather irritating. But Jamie, like usual, did not make an effort to get up at all. Instead he heard a light footstep in the snow and felt a freezing cold touch on his chest.
Jamie wondered why the snowflake he wore around his neck was chilling up. You see, since the day he met Jack he had been given the snowflake and he has wore it every day since (even in his sleep sometimes, but he'd rather not admit that, it causes too much embarrassment as it was!). It was one of the things he had done for so long that he dared even question the possibility of why not to wear it, just for one day.
The voice peered over Jamie in the snow, "Hello old friend, how are you doing?" he asked. Jamie recognised him, Jack Frost. The one and only Jack Frost. Jamie smiled as he did not know what his body was doing. The emotions were a shock as he had never experienced such a fluffy warm feeling inside of him.
"Jack?" he said once he managed to control his body,
"The one and only. What are you now... 18? And you still believe in me!"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Jamie replied, slowly pulling his arm up and to his chest and pulled out the necklace. Jack caught a glimpse, and this startled him and as if they were telepathically linked Jamie said, "Every day"
Jack was lost for words, his mouth agape it took Jamie to remind him that he had even left it open. For a being to not even be recognised as existing for 300 years, knowing that someone remembered you after such a long time, even without them being there is a pretty emotional shock.
The shock had somehow got airborne and transformed into a jolt of energy which encased Jamie as he nearly literally bounced out of the snow and gave Jack the biggest hug you could ever see. It was as if a married couple were re-united after a gap of 5 years, never mind someone you have only saw for a couple of days.
"So, what do you want to do before I have to burn myself to keep you from dying?" Jack replied, gaining back his cockiness that was lost for a brief moment,
"I have something that I want to show you"
"Where?"
"In my room, do you want to go now?"
"Yeah sure"
Moments later they were in his room. It hadn't changed much, only redecorated in a slightly obsessive manner. The room was painted a pale blue and there were snowflakes that Jamie had spend most of his free time perfecting as his "art" project in school.
Jack had closed his eyes while Jamie located the secret. He knew exactly where it was, it was just well hidden as his mother, like most mothers do, liked to "tidy up" and well he would probably be in a hospital if she had found it.
Jack opened his eyes to witness a black box that was handed to him. Jack knew what this was, a jewelry box. But, he had only usually seen it given to lovers of some kind which was odd. He slowly peered open the box to reveal a stunning gift inside.
It was very shiny and was almost like a block of ice. It was a snowflake, which looked custom done and was extremely sparkly. However, it was a locket and Jack had seen enough to know what these were and was confused but happy at the same time. Jamie noticed Jack knew that it opened and his face turned into a tomato. He had bought it 3 months after Jack had left and had kept it since in case he was ever to return. He had saved up enough money and bought it, denying all knowledge of the money disappearing to his mother who asked a million questions about his pocket money. He had forgotten almost about it, but his memories had been reconnected, as if they were just stored for this date.
Jack found the piece of paper and untangled it. This was the most recent piece Jamie had inserted, as he made sure every year he would replace it. The piece of paper had a small amount of writing on it, but it read "Jack Overland Frost, I love you. Jamie". Jack smiled and looked up to notice a very wintery Jamie. He panicked as he knew that it wasn't something good for a normal human to look like and caught him just in time before he fell.
Jamie had fainted and so Jack placed him on the bed and thought to himself about it. It was such a shock and he had never expected something so drastic to ever happen to him. It was one of those things that when being alive for 300 years, you just don't think of. He got a piece of paper from the notepad Jamie had on his desk and wrote, "Jamie, sorry for leaving you. You fainted, and I needed to pop off for a while, back soon. Jack Frost"
He left it next to Jamie and let himself out of the window. He had so many questions, but only one person could possibly know the answers if at all, so he set of for his good friend The Tooth Fairy.
