I am so sorry that it has been so long since my last update, but I have had a bad case of writer's block. I have finally finished the story, and there will be two more chapters after this one.
I hope you like it.
BTW, I own nothing...

Much love
MJ

Jack

Seeing her lying there on the hospital bed, Jack felt his heart crumble. In the months after they had reunited, they had become close. Closer than a Guardian should be with a human. He had fallen in love with her. He had never stopped watching over her, just wishing that someday she would be able to see him again.
And then the fateful day came, when she remembered. He had been so happy, that he had been unable to stop smiling for days. He knew that it was wrong of him to keep contact with her, and he knew that he should probably keep away from her.
But it had been near impossible for him to be away from her for more than a few hours. He had slowly realized just how much he had fallen for her, and it made him feel both sad and happy at the same time. Sad, because he knew he could never actually be with her, and happy, because he was able to spend every day, with the love of his life. The other guardians had warned him again and again, that he should not fall in love with her, and they had told him to leave her. They said that she would soon forget, if he did. That was just how humans were. But he knew that she would never forget him again. He knew that Mina would always have a special place in her heart for him.

He always kept an eye on her, when she was at work, out shopping, or just sitting at home with a cup of hot chocolate.

The only time he had not been watching her, the only time he was actually doing his job, as he should, she had been injured.
Now she was lying still on the hospital bed. She was bandaged from top to bottom, and had wounds all over her face and body.
Her mother was crying loudly over her daughter's body. Her father was watching with silent tears sliding down his cheeks.

Mina had not stirred once since she had come in. The woman, who'd been there during the accident, had visited many times in the days since Mina had been hospitalized.

"Jack" He heard a voice call. He looked behind him, there stood the other guardians.
The Easter Bunny put a hand on Jack's shoulder "I'm sorry Jack" he said.
The Tooth Fairy hugged him tightly "She is too young to be taken from this world. It is not fair, to either of you. "
The Sandman made figures in sand of Jack and Mina, from when they had been dancing happily in her apartment. It was one of Jack's fondest memories.
Mina and Jack had had a nice evening, when suddenly Mina's favorite song had played on the radio. "Dance with me Jack" She had said. Jack had of course danced with her, how could he ever say no to her?
They had danced for what felt like hours before sliding down into the couch, both shaking with laughter. That was the first night Mina had fallen asleep in his arms. Jack had fallen asleep as well. When he had woken up the next day, it had hit him, just how beautiful she had become.
He even thought she was the most beautiful being in the universe, as she lay pale and dying, in the white hospital gown, with wounds all over her body.

Santa Clause came next, he patted Jack shoulder, much the same way as the Easter Bunny had done.
"There's nothing you can do for her Jack "He said with a sad shake of his head. "Just let her parent's mourn their loss alone"

"Their loss?" Jack yelled feeling a lump in his throat " What about my loss? When do I get to mourn? I will never see the love of my life again. I will never hear her laughter again, see her smile, watch how her nose twitches when she sleeps. I will never get a chance to tell her, just how much I loved her. No. How much I love her. " Jack was outright crying now. " How can I survive if she doesn't? I can't live without her! "

"Jack" The Tooth Fairy said soothingly " Please don't say those things. Of course you can live without her. I know it is hard now, but soon you will start to forget the feeling. Soon you will be able to live on, and be happy again. "

"How in the world do you think he will ever get over a loss such as this? " The Easter Bunny said.
"Have you ever loved like he has? Have you ever felt the all consuming feeling of love for another human being?" He almost yelled. "Jack. It is going to be hard, and I'm sorry to say this, but it will hurt forever. You will always have that hole in your chest. It does get better with time, there will be days where the hole doesn't fell as empty, but there will also be days where you might feel that your whole body hurts from the sorrow you are feeling. You will want to scream, you will want to cry, and you with want to throw everything away. But just remember this. She loved you. It was obvious. I've never seen anybody look at anyone, the way she looked at you. You might not always have noticed, but we did. Whenever she thought you weren't looking, she would sneak glances at you Jack"

"Do you think it is wise to tell him?" The Tooth Fairy asked. At the look the Easter Bunny sent her, she quieted instantly. "Jack " He continued " We will give you time to mourn your loss, but you have to remember that we are here for you, when you need someone to talk to. "
Jack simply nodded as the other Guardians disappeared.
Jack stood by Mina's bed. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Mina" He said " I Know you can't hear me. But I have something important to tell you" He said, tears blurring his vision as he kneeled to the ground and put his head beside their clasped hands. "I should have told you this before, but I was scared. I didn't know if you could ever love someone like me. I'm mean look at me, I'm Jack Frost! Who could ever love the literally coldest man on the planet? But I need you to know…. I need you to know that I love you. I love you so much it hurts. Please don't leave me. It already feels like my heart has been ripped from my chest."
He was silent for a moment just looking at her beautiful face.
"I wish there was something I could do just to ensure that you live. Even if it means giving up my own life."
Jack looked up at the moon that was visible from the window.
"Please let her live!" He cried " Please! Even if it means I have to die. Make sure she lives. Make sure she loves and finds a wonderful husband. Make sure she gets the big family she has always wished for."
Jack kissed Mina's hand again " Please… you need to live, you need to laugh, and most important of all, you need to love, even if it is not me you love"
Jack kissed her had again, before everything went black.
