Foe to friend

Rating for this chapter: k

Jack sighed as he looked out at the vast ocean. After the little incident last week mother and father were kinda forcing him to take it easy. So now he's here looking at the Atlantic and waiting for the summer to end.

He suddenly heard someone behind him. He turned and found alonera looking somewhat flushed but mostly sad.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"

"I-"

"Yes?"

"I wanted to say sorry to you…"

Jack looked at her for a second.

"Well, you are forgiven." Jack turned back around.

Alonera stood there, shocked.

"What?"

"I said I forgive you."

"But- why- I… I turned you human, almost killed you! How could you forgive me so fast!?"

"Easy, I figured you just wanted attention, and having your father is the embodiment of nothingness. And you the embodiment of loneliness, I figured you just wanted attention."

"That's not the point."

"Look, I understand you, if not only a little."

Alonera sighed, she knew that Jack had been alone ever since he turned into a spirit.

Alonera sat next to Jack.

"W-whats it like… I mean… not being alone?"

Jack looked at her.

"Well, it's nice and annoying at the same time… like I understand that they feel bad but i was alone for a long time… it just feels like they want to make up for all the time I was alone at once. It's just very complicated at the moment."

Alonera nodded, she knew what he meant even if she didn't understand what it was like.

They sat there for a long while when suddenly Jack popped up.

"Let's be friends."

"W-what?"

"Let's be friends."

"B-but why me?"

"Well you're lonely and I'm being forced to do nothing for the rest of the summer so."

Alonera laughed at this.

She laughed.

And she could not remember the last time she did this.

Jack started laughing as well.

"Alright it is settled. You and I are going to best friends!"

Alonera smiled at him. "Okay!"
