I struggled with this chapter a lot. It was really pain in the ass. So, I hope you will like it. Also, since I know it's already April, but this story has a different time.
And yes, this is a very short chapter. Also, I don't want to forget to say that this story is coming to an end. I have a feeling that there are gonna be three or four chapters. But, that will be it. Then it will be the sequel.
"Jet, for the last time. Get out of the fucking bed and help me a little." Zuko yelled into my ears, trying to get the covers off me. Does he really think that I would be that stupid to wake up this early? "No." I whispered, pulling the covers over my head. He didn't like it. "Jet, please. Don't be a dick." He whispered and I chuckled. He pouted and growled, hitting me in the head with a remote controller. "Ouch, that hurts! Are you fucking crazy?" I yelled, sitting up and Zuko glared at me. "You want to wake up Felix? If yes, then you will be the one taking care of him." He mumbled and I looked next to me, seeing sleeping Felix. "God, you're such a women. Fine, I will get up, but you will have to take care of my lazy ass." I chuckled, sitting up, kissing him since he was sitting on my waist. What? I deserve a morning kiss. I chuckled when I pulled away, seeing him blush and rub his cheeks.
"Damn, you're so cute." I smiled, laughing a little. Zuko stared at me for a while before giggled. "Fine, now get up." Zuko mumbled and got off me. I smirked and swung my legs from the bed, looking at Felix. "Shouldn't we take him downstairs? We can't leave him alone here." I said and took Felix into my arms gently, smiling. "Come on, the breakfast is ready." He chuckled and I smiled, walking downstairs. They have let him out of the hospital yesterday. Felix really didn't like the idea. He kept telling him that he should wait in the hospital for a bit longer before he get's better. Well, I didn't want him to spend Christmas in the hospital. Who would want to? Well, definitely not me.
"What's for breakfast anyway?" I asked and he chuckled, taking my hand. "Bacon. What do you think?" I smiled and walked into the kitchen, holding Felix closer when he started to move a little. I looked at him to see Felix looking at me back. "Hey, why aren't you sleeping." I asked, chuckling and kissing his forehead. Felix stared at me blankly and then made baby noises. "Are you gonna stand there or take a set and eat?" Felix asked and I chuckled, sat down and still held Felix tightly. "So, what are we gonna do today?" I asked and Felix smiled, taking a bite from the bacon.
"I thought we could go to the cemetary today to visit out mother, then I will do the diner with Zuko while you take care of Felix. And then the gifts. Is that fine?" Felix asked and I nodded with my head, eating the piece of bacon. "Okay, that sounds like a good idea to me." I said and smiled, shifting Felix in my arms. "Give him to me. I can take care of him." Zuko said and I looked at him, handing him Felix. Zuko smiled and kissed my cheek, leaving into the living room. I rubbed the place he kissed me and smiled.
"If you excuse me, I'm trying to eat." I looked in front of me to see Felix, slightly glaring. "Jeez, don't be such a baby. You're acting like you never saw anyone kissing." I chuckled and Felix glared and then just sighed. "You know what? Let's just past breakfast and go to the cemetary." I nodded with my head. That wasn't really a bad idea. But, we should really eat first. "I will finish eating. You can go if you want." And without thinking, Felix stood up and grabbed his jacked, leaving the house. "Um, where did Felix go?" I turned my head to see Zuko with Felix in his arms who was looking around.
"The cemetary. I think he wanted to be alone with our mother for some time." I sighed and looked at Zuko who sat next to me, shifting Felix in his arms. "Hey." I smiled and chuckled, rubbing gently the patch of hair he had on his head. Zuko smiled at this and kissed my cheek. "I knew you would be a great father." He said and I chuckled, knowing he was right.
"Thanks. Hey, shouldn't we go after Felix?" I asked and he shrugged. "I think we should leave him alone for some time." I said and stood up, wrapping my arms around his waist. He blushed and pulled away. "Let's just go look for him, Jet." I sighed and then nodded, throwing on a jacket. "Wait, what about Felix? He doesn't have any good clothes to be out in the weather." It was true. From the hospital, we needed to run a little faster since Felix only was wrapped in my jacket.
"Fine, I will stay home and you go after Felix, okay?" I nodded with my head, kissing his forehead. "Ok, be careful and don't let anyone inside." I chuckled and he rolled his eyes, kissing my lips. "Okay." I smiled at him and left the house, closing the door.
I walked into the cemetary with a slow pace. To tell the truth, I would rather not even go inside this place. It held really bad memories and too many of my family members are buried here. I have lost the count of how many, but I think something about ten. If people don't think that this is not much, they are really wrong, because it hurts twice the more to know that almost have of your family is dead.
I walked closet to the place I needed to get, seeing a shaking figure. Why does he always do this to me? "I told you to wait for me." I sighed, walking to Felix and kneeling down, throwing an arm around him. "Why don't you never listen to me?" I asked, my hand patting his head in the attend of comforting him. He sniffed and looked at me, eyes teary. I sighed and whipped away the few tears, smiling.
"Come on. I thought you wouldn't cry this year. You still haven't got over it, haven't you?" He blinked and gave me a light glare. "Do I look like I got over it? No." He whimpered and rubbed his nose, sighing. "I just miss her so much." He mumbled, resting his head on my shoulder. I sighed and through an arm around his shoulder, patting it. "I miss her too, baby brother. I miss her too."
I mumbled, sniffing a little. Felix turned to me and smiled, standing up. "Do you want me to leave you alone for a while?" He asked and I nodded, looking at the dirt. Footsteps echoed away and I breathed out a breath, patting the dirt. "I can't imagine that it was already four years." I stared and looked up. "I didn't really planned to visit this year, but I have a feeling that this is a right think to do. Since you are my mother and I..." Stopping in the middle of the sentence, I sniffed. My lip trembled nervously.
"...I still love you." I whimpered, hiding my face in my hands. Taking deep breaths, I looked at the grave stone. "I just came to tell you that I'm a father. That is really all I wanted to say." And with that, I stood up, looking down. "I will be going now. Marry Christmas." Before turning around and walking away, I stared at the grave for a very short time, thinking.
Thinking how my life would be if she haven't sat behind steering wheel. Maybe my mother would still be here. But, if my mother wouldn't never died, I wouldn't never probably met Zuko.
...
"I'm sorry boy, but your mother haven't survive." The large doctor said and shook his head, smiling sadly at me. A single tear ran down my cheek. My small world crumbled right in front of my eyes. "You're lying." I whispered and he just looked at me, shaking his head 'no'. "I wish I was laying, but I'm not." And with that, he left me alone. Tears flowed down my cheek as I sat on the bright white chair. Felix had run away and my father collapsed.
I didn't know what to do. Go run after Felix, ask anyone to hug me and let me cry on their shoulder. I sighed, wiping away the few tears, walking to the exit. I promised my mother that I will be strong when I grow up. That I won't be a cry baby. I walked thru the hallway, tears streaming down my face. I heard cries. Cries of pain. Most of them belonged to old people crying for their partner.
I was almost outside when I saw a small kid. Somewhat around my age. I turned around, looking at him. His black hair covered his face, but I still could see the tears falling on the floor. I sighed and took a deep breath.
"Hey, are you okay?" He raised his head at me, face strained with tears. His eyes. They were beautiful. Honey gold color. They are just beautiful. "Why are you crying?" I asked. It almost sounded pathetic. He sniffed and blinked, eyes filled with tears. They were almost glowing. "M-my uncle d-died on a heart attack." He rasped out and I shook my head, sitting next to him, throwing an arm around his waist. "My mom died in a car accident." I sniffed, looking at him.
What was I doing? I barely know him and I'm already talking to him like he was a close friend of mine. But, we are on the same boat right now, aren't we? "Well, you still got your mom and dad at least. I don't know if my dad is going to be the same again." I sighed and he looked at me, whipping away the few tears, sniffing. His eyes watering again. "My mom and dad are went to America with my sister. They said I'm too ugly to go with them and now I'm gonna end up on the street." He whimpered and I saw tears falling down his face again. I looked at his face. How can someone call him ugly with such a beautiful face? His the most beautiful person I have ever met.
"Hey, I know this will sound gay, but let me tell you something." I said, getting his attention. "You're not ugly. You're really beautiful." I mumbled and then smiled at him. He raised an eyebrow at me and then smiled back. "No one ever said anything to me like this. Thank you." I nodded with my head, smiling. "I will have to go now. My little brother is waiting outside." I smiled, standing up and offering my hand. "Hey, my name is Jet and you are welcomed to stay at our place." I smiled and he looked at me, smiling and grabbing my hand. "Thank you. My name is Zuko."
...
I chuckled at the memory, smiling. I turned on my heel and began to slowly walk to out place, speeding up a little. Taking a quick turn, I ran to out house. My smile disappeared when I saw a fancy black car and my sons cries. I ran into the house, my anger now showing when I saw what was happening. Felix unconscious on the floor with Zuko next to him, holding my son close, a trail of blood leaving his lips. "What is this? How dare you just enter my house and beat up my family. Get out!" I yelled at the man and the women who just held her hand to her lips. Then another girl was laughing her ass off. "Excuse me! I'm his father and I can do anything I want with him." He yelled and it hit me that the man must be Ozai and the woman his mother. That girl must be Azula.
"I don't care! This is child abuse and you entered my house without a permission. I should call police on you!" I yelled and Ozai glared and walked to me. "Listen here, boy. I can do whatever I want to my son. You will now come with me and leave us alone." He said and grabbed my arm, walking with me upstairs, throwing me into my room and locking the door behind me. Why do I have to keep always the key in the hole. "You asshole. If you hurt them, I'm gonna kill you! I swear I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled, but he didn't hurt my screams.
I stood there and after a while, a long yell of pain was heard over the house. Tears filled my eyes and I fell on my knees, listening to his cries, not knowing how to help him.
The doors opened after an hour and Zuko walked inside, instantly hugging me tightly. I hugged him back, kissing his shoulder. "It's okay, I'm here." I whispered and he pulled away, sadness in his eyes. "I will have to leave to Japan. They got me engaged to a man there. Jet, I don't wanna go." He whispered and I looked at him, patting his head. "Babe, I'm not letting you go. I promise." I whispered back and he just showed me his hand and he had a beautiful golden ring on one of his fingers. My eyes widened. "When are you leaving?" I asked and he shook his hand, trembling a little.
"Tomorrow in the evening." He sniffed and I pulled him close, trembling. No, I wasn't about to lose him. The only family that is after Felix left. I'm not letting him go away with him. "Jet, I need to do this and I promise that I will visit as fast as I can." He whispered and then smiled, kissing my lips. I sighed and pulled something from my packet. I wanted to give him this in the evening. "Can you at least keep this for me?" I said and pulled out a small back box, opening it There was a golden ring with a small red diamond on it. I was going to ask him if he wants to marry me. Sadly, I think that I'm too late to ask. "I was going to give you this and ask you if you would marry me." I whispered and his eyes widened, looking at the beautiful ring. He smiled at it and kissed my cheek, taking the ring and pulling in on his finger.
"I would say yes if I could, Jet. I would say yes."
This chapter was really heart breaking for me to write and was also pain in the ass. I can say without a doubt that the next chapter will be the last. Thank you all for sticking up with this story and I hope you will all stick with it thru the sequel too. Thank you again.
