Okay, I was watching a new episode of 'Austin and Ally' It's the mash up with 'Jessie'. Here's the link to a song that I think describes Jack and Crystal PERFECTLY! It's called 'Face to Face'

I don't own anything. SHORT CHAPTER!
LISTEN TO 'I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU' BY MILEY CYRUS FOR THIS CHAPTER!
The same day. Crystal is still crying in the meadow.
"Crystal?" Lilly asked me. I jumped. Has she followed me? Well she's here, so I guess she did. "Y-yeah?" I croaked.
"W-what's g-going to h-happen now? I m-mean J-Jack's de-de-de-...gone..." She couldn't finish her sentence before she burst into tears. "Aww sweetie! Come here." She fell into my arms, crying.
"W-why did he h-have to l-leave? He p-promised he w-would al-always b-be by my side." I just continued to hold her in my arms. I picked her up and carried to the tree. We just sat there for about 10-15 minutes. She finally managed to calm down. "Calm down, sweetie." She hiccuped. I don't know what caused me to do it but I started singing,
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't you be afraid when things go bump in the night
Get closer to me and baby hold on tight
Cause everything's gonna be all right
"Thank you Crystal."
"No problem."
"Why DID he have to go?" She asked, cuddling more into me. I sighed. "I really don't know. But, sometimes...Things happen for a reason. No one knows ACTUALLY why they happen. But everyone has their own meaning and fate in life. Can you tell me what happened?" She looked at me as if it hurt to remember it. It probably did.

"When I stepped onto the ice, it started cracking. I tried walking to Jack but it only cracked more." She laughed, "He tried to get my mind off of my fear by acting like we were playing a game. He grabbed his staff and pulled me out of the way but..." She took a deep breath and let it out, "The ice cracked from under his feet. He fell. It's all my fault."
End of spoiler
"Hey, it's not your fault. He CHOSE to save you. You didn't make him. He could've just let you fall into the ice, but he didn't. Just because he died saving you doesn't mean that it's your fault. Don't get me wrong, if I was in your position, I would blame myself, too. Just know that you didn't kill him."
She smiled. "You sound like you've been in this position, before." Believe me, I have. My dad started abusing me after my mom ran away. He blamed me for it. Therefor, I thought that it was my fault.
"It's complicated." I said, remembering the day I told Jack the same thing.
"Okay!" She giggled. "So, about this peach grove..." She smirked. Leave it to Lilly to lighten up the mood. Though I could tell that she was trying to cover her sadness.
"Oh god. Don't even get me started on how he found it." I smirked. "Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" I laughed. "Maybe next time, kiddo."
"Fine."
We just sat there for a couple minutes, enjoying the silence. Finally, she spoke up, "Crystal?"
"Yes?"
"The song that you sang earlier...Where'd you get it from?"
I sighed.
"My mom used to sing it to me all the time when I was scared." On cold stormy nights she would sing it to me.
"Can you sing it again?" As much as it hurt to remember my mother, I started to sing...
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't you be afraid when things go bump in the night
Get closer to me and baby hold on tight
Cause everything's gonna be all right
When I got done singing I went over to the peach tree and got a peach and gave it to Lilly. "Here, it's your brothers favorite fruit." She looked at me, confused. "What is it?" Hold on! She doesn't know what a peach is?
"Don't tell that you don't know what a peach is." She just kept on looking at me. "I can't believe that you've never had a peach. Try it!" She bit into the juicy fruit. The juice got all over her face. She smiled and dug into the peach. She has Jacks taste in food, that's for sure. I took a peach from the tree and bit into it, only I didn't get it all over my face.
"I can see why Jack likes it." She said with a smile. I flinched when she mentioned Jack. I took and deep breath and let it out. Now's not the time to start crying.
"Crystal?" I looked at her and cocked my head to the side. "Yesterday when Jack came home, he looked kinda...What's the word? Unsure, scared, frightened, and...I just don't know how to explain it. Do you know why he acted that way?" Well I can't tell her! She's all I have left of Jack.
"Y-yeah. Let's just say that I told him a very important secret and it involves him too." Well, it *DID* involve him. "What's the secret?"
"Nothing you should be worried about."
"Tell me!" I smiled.
"You are too much like your brother."
"Thanks!"
IMMORTAL! You people chose immortal! So I need your help on how Crystal should die.
1. She kills herself
2. Her father kills her.
3. She's so depressed that she doesn't eat, drink, sleep or anything and it slowly kills her.
Also, Thanks to the people that PMED ME! Don't get me wrong, I love your reviews, but I don't want everybody to know what I'm doing. I don't mean to sound rude.
XXXXFROSTBITEXXXX OUT! PEACE!
