Brook's POV;
I woke up after a rough sleep. When I opened my eyes everyone looked at me and then at Jack expectantly.
Jack rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Mornin Snowflake." He said.
"Morning." I yawned. "How long was I out?"
"About 2 hours." He cleared his throat. "A uh, a lot of stuff happened while you were out."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Well, for one, a strip of your hair turned ice blue."
"What!" I grabbed a little mirror beside the bed I was in and looked in it. "Actually it's not as bad as I thought it'd look." I admitted.
"And um, this guy came by to check on you." Jack started.
"Who was it?"
"Clockwork."
"What'd he say?" I asked unaware of the situation.
"He explained everything. I started to freak out when your hair turned ice blue and he explained that you just got your ecto-arctic powers early. He explained why you didn't remember me and I got mad at him. I...kinda told him that...I'd help you with your new powers. I mean, who better to teach you about winter powers than the winter sprite himself right?" Jack explained.
"Oh... So... Where's Clockwork then?" I asked.
"I told him to leave."
"Why?"
"Because he's the one that took you away from me and put you in depression. Please don't be mad at me."
I giggled. "I'm not mad silly!"
"You're not?" Jack asked surprised.
"No! You stood up for me. I think it's really sweet you care that much for me."
"Can you guys leave us alone?" Jack asked the others.
"Yes!" Tooth replied almost immediately. She practically pushed everyone out the door and gave Jack a little wink.
"So you're not mad at me?" Jack asked again with a smirk.
"No." I said nervously.
"You know what else is sweet?" He asked flying closer.
"N-no." I replied scooting back in my bed.
Jack came really close to my ear and whispered, "You." He nibbled on my ear which caused me to screech.
"J-Jack?" I asked.
"I've been waiting for this ever since I lauded eyes on you. And now I'm finally going to get it." He said.
He started leaning in. He closed his eyes and parted his lips. My heart felt like it was gonna pound out of my chest. I wanted to move but I couldn't. Soon enough I closed my eyes and parted my lips too. After a few seconds out lips touched.
Jack put his hands on my cheeks. I put my arms around his neck. He licked my lips so I could let him in. When I granted his request, he tugged on the sides of my head and deepens the kiss causing me to moan.
Our tongues battled for dominance, which Jack won. He explored my mouth, claiming every inch of it. His mouth tasted like mint ice cream. A few minutes passed and Jack deepened the kiss.
After a few more minutes we broke apart for better air. "You're a great kisser." I complimented.
"Why thank you Brooklynn." Jack said proudly.
"I never thought I'd kiss the same boy I kissed 302 years ago." I said in amazement.
"I never thought I'd find the one girl I didn't know I was looking for for over a century." Jack said back.
I giggled. "So... Are we a thing now?" I asked seriously.
"I don't know are we?" He replied.
I didn't say anything for the rest of the night. Neither did Jack. I cuddled up to him and rested my head on his chest. He rapped his arms around me. I looked up at him and he was staring at the ceiling. It looked like he was thinking. After about 20 minutes he finally spoke.
"What happened?" He asked.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
He looked down at me. "What happened after I fell in the lake?"
"Well," I started. "I jumped in after you but you wouldn't come with me. You threw me to the surface of the lake. I tried to go after you, but your mother grabbed me and pulled me out of the water."
Flashback;
Someone grabbed me out of the freezing water. I took a deep breath when I got to the surface. The one who grabbed me out of the water hugged me tight and took me away from the hole in the ice. The person was a woman, it was Jenny Overland.
"What were you thinking Brooklynn?" She asked.
"I-I don't know." I told her. Jenny gave me a blanket to warm me up. Lizzie ran over to us. "Lizzie, are you okay? Are you hurt?" I asked her worried.
"I'm fine." She said with tears streaming down her face. "Did you see Jack?"
"Yes." I said with tears now staining my face. "But he...he pushed me to the surface when I tried to help him."
Five men came barreling threw the crowd. They ran to the hole in the ice. One of them stayed behind and came over to me and Lizzie.
"You have to find him!" Lizzie cried to the man.
"We'll try our best miss." He said. "I need to ask you two some questions."
I grabbed Lizzie's hand. "Okay." I said calmly.
"What happened?" The man asked.
"We were skating...and then...the ice cracked...and Jack pushed me and Brook out of the way...a-and he fell in!" Lizzie stuttered.
"If he pushed you and the girl out of the way then how did you get wet?" He asked me.
"I jumped in." I simply stated.
Hours went by. After a few more minutes they gave up. They all took their hats off. I thought my heart stopped pumping.
One of them came over with a sad and sorry expression on his face. "I'm sorry ladies...we can't find him, he's most likely gone by now."
"NO!" I dropped to the ground sobbing. Lizzie cuddled with her mother while they both sobbed.
I got up and ran to the small cabin Jack took me to last autumn. I crashed on the bed that was in there and cried myself to sleep.
End of flashback:
"The funeral happened in the local cemetery but of course it was just an empty grave." I said. I looked at Jack with a tear stained face. "Although I thought it was a dream, I never forgot you Jack. And I still have the necklace you gave me."
"I'm sorry." He said.
"Don't be sorry...be happy. Lizzie would want you to be happy." I smiled.
He smiled back. I leaned in for another kiss, which Jack happily excepted.
