Chapter 11
Jared
Kim had been a lifeless shell ever since Tim had died. Died I figured was a nicer way of putting it then saying he'd committed suicide. She'd told me she needed time to think to get over what had happened. And though I saw her in class when ever I tried to reach out to her she'd back away. I'd gone a whole week without touching and hardly talking to my imprint. Every time I was on patrol the guys would whine as they felt my pain. I didn't want to pressure her but this wasn't only taking a toll on her.
"Kim," I confronted her in the hallways the next day. "We need to talk. I know you're sad about what happened to Tim. But I can help you get through it you just need to let me…"
"No." She said quietly but clearly.
"What?" She looked up and I could see her face sad but determined.
"This," she motioned to me ad her, "is not working…shouldn't work. You don't see it do you Jared? Us…no…me! I'm what drove Tim over the edge. I killed him. It was my fault."
"No, you didn't," I said grabbing her arm and instantly feeling the best I had all week. "It was Tim's choice. It's not your fault that you like me and it's not your fault that Tim couldn't handle the truth." She was so weak and fragile. I was glad she still hadn't pulled her arm away.
"Kim. You and I were always meant to be together. And I can see how you might think that Tim's death was your fault but if you think that you've never been more wrong in your life."
"B-but if I'd just tried harder to become his friend again," she stuttered.
"It would've been the same outcome. Kim I don't want to let what's happened come between me and you. Quite frankly I'm really a mess when you're not around."
Years past and I never was able to forget about Tim. He had always been there, before I met Jared, when we fell in love and even now that he was gone, he lingered. Jared proposed and we got married. I won't bore you with the details of our wedding. It was very quite, perfect and sweet. Sometimes I still wonder what life would've been like if Tim had never gone. Would I still be with Jared? Of course I had no doubt. But, would I ever have managed to earn back Tim and our friendship? Jared stopped phasing when our first child was born. My adorable little girl Amelie she would hopefully never have to deal with the problems of the supernatural world. I wished for our baby girl to live out a long happy and normal life. But of course nobody really lives a 'normal' life so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the future brings.
