Chapter 20-Last Chapter: Fairytales, Reality and Remembrance:

If only Jin woke up just as Amy burst into the ward, like in a happy-ended fairytale. If only the world was as sweet and simple as that; but reality is the only truth, and truth hurts. Amy sat on the stool again, having a small moment of significant realising. Jin was still in the same state as when she left. She brushed away the hair covering Jin's eyes, and she traced her finger across his face. She moved her chair closer and rested her hands on her knees. She looked at her palms and more tears trickled off the side of her face. She closed her eyes, and felt all the tears drip off from the corner of her eyes to the bottom of her face. It was as if that if she cried, the hole in her heart would recover and become one piece again. She kept crying, and eventually cried herself to sleep. Although she wasn't conscious, tears still sparkled down her face as she slept on the quilts of Jin's ward bed.

"Amy!" It's your birthday right?" Amy laughed and nodded, and Jin smiled.
"I have a present for you! Close your eyes and I'll lead you there!" Amy laughed again and covered her eyes. Jin confirmed her sight was blocked by putting another layer with his own hand, before rounding his other one around her back and walking her towards her present. They walked for a long time before Amy spoke up impatiently.
"Are we there yet?" Jin smiled again.
"We're nearly there. Just walk a bit more..." Amy nodded and followed Jin's lead. Suddenly, he stopped.
"Open your eyes...now." Amy did as she was told and she saw the same pond that they met at again. The afternoon orange sky darkened slightly, and glimmering spots of light shone and wavered in the air.
"Amy. I have more presents than just fireflies." Amy turned around to see Jin holding out two closed hands.
"Happy 6th Birthday, Amy." He opened his right hand to reveal his present. Two hairbands with white flowers accented. Amy's eyes widened. Jin opened his left hand halfway before jumping onto her, hugging her tightly. Amy didn't struggle as Jin started laughing in joy.
"I love your presents, Jin! Thankyou!" Jin finally let go and Amy took off her hairband. She retied her two ponytails with her new ones, and brusquely stuffed her old ones in her pocket. Jin sat down and Amy followed. She put her hand on top of his, and Jin merely looked at her while blushing. The two watched the dancing fireflies as the sun set over the horizon. Jin retreated his hand from Amy's, but patted her head. Amy frowned, as she had remembered something she should have told Jin earlier.
"Jin...I'm sorry." Jin turned his head to see Amy's face tearing up.
"What are you sorry about? You haven't done anything!" He wiped her tears that were coming down, with his hand.
"I...I'm moving tomorrow. I'm moving out of town..." Jin eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
"W-what?! Why?!" Jin was also nearly in tears.
"M-my parents...they said they have business on the border...of X-Xenia...I don't r-really know..." Amy covered her eyes with her hands, now flooding her palms.
"F-for how long?" Jin was starting to cry as well, as his only good friend was Amy.
"I don't know...I d-don't think I'm c-coming back..." Amy was now sobbing, as she didn't want to leave her only friend.
"I-is it because you hate m-me? Is it because y-you don't like how all the kids in town are calling us names? I-I'll change! J-just don't leave me...please..." Jin offered, now choking in his tear-stained face. Amy shook her head nd continued.
"No...I don't hate you...I-I want to stay as well! I..." She trailed off, just mainly hiccuping and crying. Jin tried his best to stop crying, and he rubbed his face with the back of his hand. He stood up, and picked the sobbing girl in the process. He carried her all the way to the tree, and sat down, letting her cry into his arms as he tried to thaw out his frozen heart. She eventually stopped, but the moon was shining high in the sky when she did.
"Jin...I'm so sorry..." Amy was now sitting between Jin's outstretched legs, leaning on his chest.
"No...It's not your fault...As long as we stay friends, I don't even care if the world disappears." Amy's eyes became moist again, but she held in her tears.
"We'll meet again, I promise. We can Pinky Promise." Amy held out her smallest finger and Jin locked his with hers, making a small agreement.
"Here's your farewell gift..." Jin leaned closer and pecked Amy on her cheek. Amy merely blinked and smiled. He got up and lifted Amy to her feet.
"We need to go home now. Goodbye..." Jin looked away but Amy turned his face to meet hers with her hand.
"It's not a goodbye Jin. We will see eachother again." Jin's eyes brimmed to the corners with tears and didn't resist holding them in. He grasped Amy's hand one last time, before she smiled and tears trickled off both their faces, and she let go. Jin held out his hand as if she would hold it again.
"See you later!" He shouted, hoping for a reply. Amy turned around, her tears blurring her view. She nodded and smiled weakly before running towards the direction of her house, tears glimmering valiantly in the moonlight.

Amy opened her eyes, and she realised she had been crying all the way through her dream. She blinked a couple of times, trying to take in the fact that the mysterious boy in her flashback dream was the one next to her. She gripped the white bedspread and another tear of many trickled from her eye. She closed her eyes, waiting for the lukewarm droplet to roll down her face and fall off her chin. It didn't. A familiar feeling crossed her face. She opened her eyes.

"Don't cry, Amy. If you're sad I will be as well."

Jin rubbed her tears away and lowered his hand. Amy could do nothing but jump onto him and allow her stored tears to wet his bedsheet and chest. Jin patted her back and smiled.
"J-Jin..." Amy made out through her hiccuping, and she kept choking for a while before she continued.
"I-I'm sorry...I d-didn't...know that you...I...I'm so sorry..." Jin silenced her by putting a finger to her lips.
"Shh...I know...It's ok. I accept your apologies..." He sat up slowly and Amy looked into his eyes.
"There's actually something I need to say..." Jin whispered, while moving her closer. Amy knew exactly what it was.
"No..." She slithered her hand behind his back. "I have something to say." Jin gasped slightly when Amy leaned even closer, so close that her lips were almost at his.
"I'm sorry that I didn't realise we met before as children. Forgive me?" Jin widened his eyes in shock that Amy suddenly remembered, but didn't move.
"You're forgiven." The both of them smiled and Amy pressed her lips against his. The magical moment lasted almost forever, and they both enjoyed it. When they finally let go, Amy whispered a small message into his ear.

"I'm happy that fairytales can be like reality."

Jin nodded and whispered something back.
"I love you. Please stay by my side." Amy nodded before kissing him again, her tears now overflowing with joy.
