I would like to see you all die wondering why Sophie was crying... But then I thought, ah, screw this, I'm going to write what's on my mind right now.

And I want to thank you all for reading, fav, following, and reviewing this story. I was very surprised when I saw that 100 people read this story on the first day I posted it. It was like a Christmas present for me.

So, here you go.

Jack quietly flew through the same neighborhood he passed a couple of weeks ago. He can't help but to notice that the window he entered the last time he was here is now opened. He stopped by and peeked inside.

The room was dark this time, and he could see Sophie sleeping on her bed. He jumped in and slowly walked towards her.

Her angelic face when she's sleeping hasn't changed even after 15 years, he mentally noted. He chuckled a bit when he remembered the time when he brought her back to her room and she fell off the bed.

And then he wondered why she would open the window at night. It's still could outside, and he could see her shivering under the blanket she's wearing. It's not save either. There are a lot of bad guys wandering around at this time of the day.

As he drowned in his own thoughts, Sophie slowly opened her eyes, disturbed by his low chuckle. Jack didn't realize that she's waking up until her big round eyes stared at him, totally awake.

"Hello, mister stalker." Sophie sat up and she turned on the lamp on her side table.

"I've told you that I'm not a stalker." Jack smiled a bit as he took a couple steps back and walked around the room.

"Watching a girl sleep without her noticing is not stalking. Okay then."

"Well, you left your window opened at night when it's freezing cold outside, I'm just checking whether you're okay or not." He sat down on the window frame and a smirk curved on his face as Sophie chuckled. "Really, I'm serious. It's not save leaving your window open at night, Sophie. And you could catch a cold. Why were you leaving it open?"

Sophie fell silent for a bit.

"I-I thought that by doing that maybe you would come here. Because you said goodbye the last time we met and I really want to see you again." She muttered.

Jack froze for a moment, as he didn't expect that kind of reason.

"Do you really want to see me that much?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

They stared at each other and Jack could see clearly that Sophie was hesitating to answer him. But just a moment after he thought that maybe she won't answer at all, she opened her mouth.

"Because my brother said that you will protect me after he's gone. And you will be there for me in place of him."

Jack's eyes widen.

"That means your brother is now-"

"Dead. Yes. The funeral was at the same time when you last came here." Sophie's voice was shaky, as she's trying not to cry. Jack sat quietly and then he walked towards her and sat beside her.

"So that's why you were crying."

Sophie nodded and Jack patted her head.

"We were crossing the road." Tears started to fill her eyes. "When suddenly a truck drove towards us. I didn't have the time to react, but my brother quickly pushed me away and then..." her tears flew down her face. "He was taken to the hospital right away, he was barely breathing but he's still awake. On the way there, he told me about you. I didn't remember clearly that time, but then I remembered the bunny hole and it all make sense. He told me that if he died, he believe that you would protect me. When we reached the hospital, he only survived for another ten minutes... He was still so young... He's brave and kind too..." Sophie muttered under her sobbing.

Jack, not knowing what to do, awkwardly embraced her as she continued her weeping.

"I believe he is... He saved me 15 years ago with his bravery. He brought a new light to me when he finally saw me and believed in me. He defeated his fear and he stood up for us, the guardians." Jack stared on her eyes. "I believe that he is in a better place now. And... I will protect you, Sophie. As my gratitude to your brother for what he done 15 years ago. Even though I can't replace your brother, but you should know that you're not alone. Okay?"

Sophie nodded again, and Jack let her cry until she's too tired and she fell asleep. He awkwardly placed her on her bed, careful not to put her too roughly that she would fell down the way she did years ago. He then covered her with her blanket, and head off towards the window. He took a glimpse at the sleeping blonde.

"Geez, Jamie, you gave me a really hard task." He muttered as he jumped out.
