Eddie's POV
"...Fabian- yes"
We all looked at Jerome " well I guess I'm in!"
Then Mara asked "could you excuse us for a second."
Mara's POV
As soon as they left I gave Jerome a hug. This is the first moment I've had alone with him since he got back. So I finally let my self cry. Why wouldn't I? My boyfriend almost died! I looked up at him to see that he was crying too. For 10 minutes we he held me and we cried. Part of me wishes we could stay like that forever. But the other part was satisfied because when it was over he kissed me. And asked " do you remember the part of the letter about getting you a gift?" I nodded. " it wasn't a lie and he pulled out a yellow box. "Don't open it until Willow is asleep."
"How would I get this if you died?" It hurt to say that last word.
"When they found my body they'd find the box with a note to give it to you."
Later
I lay awake in my bed waiting for Willow to fall asleep. (sugar rush)
After 3 hours Willow finally fell asleep.
And I opened the box.
