~~~Chapter 3- Should I?~~~
(Some of this is from Jesse's POV)
The last thing Jesse had said to Winnie that night was "I love you"….and Winnie was now thinking, should she drink the water that Jesse provided her with? All night cuddled in Jesse's arms she was thinking about it. That night she didn't sleep a wink. She was thinking, this can happen forever….me and Jesse in the woods….and in love, for the rest of my life! I can possibly get married, and have children! But on the other hand, she will be the same forever. Watching people she loves die, and grow old, while she can never ever die. This was a big decision for Winnie to make.
The next morning, Jesse woke up at dawn to see Winnie wide awake, and crying. He rushed to her side and she fell into his arms. Jesse knew it had to do with the spring. He asked Winnie what was wrong and she explained. She wanted to live forever, but she didn't want to see her friends die while she can never die. Jesse explained she didn't have to stay with him, he just told her that he loved her and wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. Then Jesse thought to himself- should I ask Winnie to marry me?
**Jesse's thoughts**
I love Winnie and I wanna marry her….but I feel I'm too young…..I mean for her….
I want to spend every minute with Winnie, I love the smell of her hair, and the way she laughs, and that beautiful smile…the way she kisses me…I fall into a daze and makes me want to kiss her more and more….ugh well…back to reality….
Winnie….you don't have to drink it. Go ahead die. I'll miss you, I'll cry, I would want to die so I can be with you in heaven. JESSE! DON'T SAY THAT!!!! With that Winnie broke in tears. She fell asleep many hours later. It was just like that day I met her at night…when she put her head on my stomach….except we were happy….and playful…no tears….no anger or hatred…it was full of love and compassion. Oh Winnie is waking up! Winnie!! I have an idea to start the day of while the day is still ours. Oh Jesse…I don't feel very well….maybe later…..
I'm terribly sorry….Oh….its ok Winnie….and with that Winnie walked over to the nearby rock and took out a pen and paper…and started to write.
GOOD THINGS ABOUT DRINKING THE WATER
1: ill be with Jesse forever
2: I can get married and have kids
3: I can see how the world changes
4: I will be able to see new people and meet new friends
5: I can be with Jesse forever =)
6: I can kiss Jesse anytime I want =)
7: look into his eyes and dream about him….
Wait! What am I saying? So I guess I really want to drink it….or do I want to die peacefully?….
**JESSE**
I wonder what she's writing over there….maybe about me…..how I love her so….that's why I love her so much, she's full of adventure and kindness….I'm gonna go sneak over there and look…..
And with that Jesse saw every bit of what Winnie wrote. Jesse was all dreamy now about Winnie. He knew what he had to do, and it was going to be tonight.
