Jessica's Point of View

"Thank you for joining me Ienzo. It's been a rough week." I smiled. "I am extremely grateful to be able to accompany you on your visit to see your grandfather." Zexion replied. "I like that about you." I giggled. He tilted his head in confusion. He's so cute.

"The way you treat me. With respect. No one else seems to." I sighed. "That's not true. They just show it in different ways." Zexion explained. "Yeah, I guess so. Hey, Zexion? What do you think it would be like to be normal?" I asked as I entered the castle. "My life was normal once, but it wasn't anything great. At least until I met you, but when you came along, my life became better than normal. You took someone ordinary and made him extraordinary." Zexion smiled. We walked in the room where Master Eraqus is.

"Jessica, good to see you. Oh, and Zexion too. What a pleasant surprise. I've heard good things about you young man." Master Eraqus smiled. "Thank you sir." Zexion blushed. "Hi Master. I hope you don't mind the extra person." I said. "Not at all. He is welcome to come anytime." Master Eraqus assured me. "Why did you need me?" Zexion asked. "I could... really use the support right now." I sighed. "What do you need it for? Are you having problems at home?" Master Eraqus asked. I looked away.

"It's not that." I replied. "You're running away again, aren't you?" Zexion realized. I gasped because he guessed correctly.

"I see." Zexion sighed. "This might be... the last time I come here. Xemnas isn't stupid this is the first place he'll look. I'm sorry to both of you." A tear rolled down my face. Zexion hugged me.

"It's okay. It's better this way." Zexion assured me. "What?" I expected him to say something more like, don't go. "You'll understand when the time is right." Zexion pulled away, smiling at me. "Very well. I trust you." I turned to Master Eraqus. "I'm sure it won't last long, but in case you can't visit me for a while, I want you to know that I love you, just as I love your mother." Master Eraqus smiled. I hugged him. "Thank you Grandpa." I said. "Jess, you should go. I'll stay here for now to give you a head start. What should I tell Xemnas?" Zexion questioned. "Tell him that you tried to stop me. That way, you won't be in trouble." I decided. "I gave a quick wave and left, knowing that if my goodbye was any longer, I wouldn't have the strength to leave.
