Holding On And Letting Go - Ross Copperman (completely perfect for Jack's POV :D)


Jack's POV

I flew back through the window of my room, my sneaker clad feet thudding gently on the floor.

My face was still etched into that ridiculous grin as I flopped onto my bed, spent yet still pretty happy.

Just then, my door opened and Pippa's head popped in through the door. The blond haired woman smiled at me as she gestured towards my room.

"May I come in Jack?" she asked and I nodded.

It struck me sometimes how my friends have all grown up. Now Pippa is a single mother to a vivacious little girl named Desiree who had adopted me as her bigger brother.

Her husband had passed away years ago from something North had described as an incurable disease that more than often befell humans and would wrench their love ones away from them.

I called it cancer.

Despite all that, I was pretty surprised that she still believed in me even if it was almost three years when I last saw her.

"Just give me a moment," I said in a strained tone as I pulled my sneakers off and gave a sigh of relief.

Pippa chuckled as she gave me a motherly smile. "Still shoeless all the way huh," she joked as I nodded, a huge smile gracing my face when I heard her laugh.

When I was sent for this mission, I was almost convinced that I would be homeless as a human, not that I minded but it still would have roused suspicions, right?

Imagine my surprise when North told me that I would be staying with a believer and my thoughts immediately went to Jamie who still believed.

North told me that Jamie lived far away from this town but there was another believer living right in this town.

So here I was then, staying in Pippa's spare room.

"How's (F/N)?" she asked out of the blue.

I nodded my head, cautious not to let her see the reaction that came when her name came up.

"(F/N) is doing well, I just checked up on her," I said as I kept out the part that she had already found out who I really was.

Well, Pippa didn't need to know that as she was briefed about this mission too and told never to repeat it to anyone, less she might give my identity away.

Pippa nodded as she stood up, leaving as soon as she came.

"Get some sleep Jack, you looked bushed," she said as she walked to the door and flicked off the light.

She then inched her way through the door that led to the brightly lit hall and closed it softly.

I dropped my head back to the pillows, feeling for the first time I became human; the tiredness that seeped into my bones.

Randomly, I wondered what (F/N) was doing now and if she were up thinking of our day together too.

An elated smile seized my lips as I tried to smother that same ridiculous grin again.

But Jack, you're not supposed to fall for her, a voice in the back of my mind whispered and immediately, my smile slipped.

I suddenly felt wide awake as I got up and walked to the window, staring out into the inky black sky only permeated by the weak rays of a crescent moon.

I stared at the familiar sight that I had seen almost every night for 300 years and gave a small smile.

I still remembered the loneliness and empty feeling in my chest every night when I saw the Moon.

It was almost tantalizing yet frustrating when I had someone so close to me but who would never answer any of my questions. It was literally like trying to talk to a brick wall that had a semblance of life in it.

I released a breath and watched my heated breath fog up the window.

Hmm, being warm was still a shock to me. Even if my skin was still cold by human standards, at least I had some body heat.

One point down on the freak scale.

I then thought about flying as my thoughts subsequently went to (F/N) and the denial came in full swing back again.

I wasn't supposed to be falling for her, I knew it, but I couldn't deny that there was something between us.

Something completely unexpected.

I had initially no interest in her when I first met her other than keep her safe from the evil that would soon be after her but all that changed the day in the library.

It was amusing yet exasperating seeing that she was so close to finding out that I wasn't who she thought I was yet she still remained clueless.

But then I realized I wanted her to find out. Why?

Because I didn't want to remain invisible anymore.

Now I was vaguely aware of how my actions tonight would impact our relationship together.

I couldn't fall in love with her today, tomorrow or possibly ever.

Heck, even I didn't know if I would wake up tomorrow here or find myself back in the Workshop where North would tell me I had done my part for the mission and that I was free to live as Jack Frost again.

I couldn't do that to her.

She deserved so much more than someone who doesn't even know if he would be able to see her tomorrow.

I sighed as I let my forehead rest against the cool window pane.

The thoughts still buzzed in my brain but I pushed them aside.

There would always be another tomorrow.

I hope.
