“I got to go help everyone, Don’t forget what you said you would do”
Without missing a beat Marry hurried in the direction of where rose needed help moving some stuff, leaving Jacob to stand there
“I just…”
Jacob still didn’t move, he just put his fingers on his lips,
“Cherry lipstick, I um-yea I need to go as well”
Jacob although still focused on the feeling of her lips, slowly starts walking towards the path to the hill, once again he can’t help but remember the faces of all those individuals when he first came here, all the memories he had of them filled him with even more warmth as Jacob walked
“Is this what happiness feels like, to be loved…”
This warm feeling that he was scared of getting involved with, why was he scared he thought to himself. This love as well as connection he had with everyone here made him feel whole, as he walked up the hill toward where Rose was he couldn't help but feel happy that he was moving forward
“haha”
Each step Jacob took felt like old burdens falling out and before he realized it he was halfway up the hill, he stared at the stars as well as the night sky with all the planets in orbit, taking a moment to look at the beauty the universe had to offer, but the most beautiful thing that took his mind was how clear everything felt, the world looked so much more beautiful to the point where he wondered whether or not he was dreaming
“woahh”
Jacob danced as he walked up the hill, he allowed his body to be lose as he felt this warm feeling enter his soul, it was truly freedom from one's own heart, however when one allows happiness inside of one's heart, it also allows the feelings of regret as well as devastation inside, when that love is hurt or taken away pain is all there is to offer. Jacob with each step up the hill thought back to all there encounters with his friends/loved ones, all the good as well as bad times they had he thought about them all, they were his memories that taught him the value of life, and it is because of those same memories that Jacob will suffer because of what he saw in the distance
“What the hell”
Jacob saw something in the distance, a purple color of light falling through the sky, it was far away so Jacob thought maybe he was hallucinating, but after whipping his eyes he definitely saw it, it slowly but surely fell down from the sky until the moment it touched the earth, a massive crater explosion took place, the impact from the purple light onto the earth sent a shockwave rippling throughout the wind even causing Jacob to roll down the hill despite blast being very very far away
“ahh?!”
Jacob was sent flying backward down the hill, as he tried to get up he thought about whatever that was, perhaps a meteorite? but no it wouldn’t be purple, maybe a satellite or something that fell?!, but that couldn’t be possible the area would have been evacuated, his thoughts were interrupted when he saw something that horrified him, something that sent shivers down his spine, there was more of them falling, more of those lights and some of them were falling closer, he froze up, he wasn’t sure what he to think, but his thought was interrupted once again as more lights fell, each one causing a ripple of shock waves knocking Jacob back down even more with cuts and burns all throughout his body, Jacob at this point wanted to run for cover, but one thing popped into his mind and that was rose was still up this hill
“Rose!”
Despite his body telling him to run, or his flight or fight response urging him to flee, he thought about Rose and couldn’t abound her, he finally was gonna move forward, he was done living in the past, if he could just get to rose he felt that everything would be alright somehow
“Rose! Rose!!”
He forced himself up the hill as he kept calling out her name each time louder and louder, more shockwaves were felt getting stronger, and when he looked up he could see as many as 24 or so purple lights falling from orbit onto the earth, Jacob almost felt his mind revert to the flight or fight sensation as the realization hit him, he might die. but he still wanted to get to Rose, he was almost up the hill, he was almost to her, and then he was, When he got up the hill he saw her Standing on it, she was looking out towards the craters not even moving one centimeter despite the horrifying event in front of her
“Rose!!!, Rose I don’t know what the hell is going on but we need to find everyone and get to shelter”
There were explosions as far the eye could see from the impact of many debris falling from outer space into the earth, it looked like the world was ending, but despite all that chaos Rose did not move
“Rose What are you doing?! We got to move now!”
“It's too late we can’t escape anymore”
“What are you saying, shits falling down from the sky, It's still far away we have time we can move”
Jacob tries to pull Rose by the hand but she doesn’t budge, Jacob’s body is feeling weak due to his wounds
“Everyone else is safe I made sure of that, there being evacuated as we speak”
“Evacuated?!, the world literally is falling apart, even if you are the CEO of a company, how is that gonna help us get out of this situation!?!”
Rose turned away from Jacob facing what could only be described as the apocalypse as meteorite-like objects fell from the sky, giant craters of explosions taking place outside of the planet
“How indeed”
“Rose! Let's move come on!!”
Once again instead of running she just looks at Jacob, then she looks at the many wounds he suffered from coming up here, then she puts her arms around him, her expression not one of fear or worriment but rather sadness
“I won’t be able to go with you”
“What what do you mean?”
“I…maybe it's better for me just to say this”
Although the world was quite literally ending, In this moment jacobs undivided attention is on this one girl
“I know that I’m not the best person, my personality is pretty bad and I’m not the easiest to get along with when it comes to opening up my true feelings”
As she spoke tears begin to roll down Rose’s face
“That my affection towards you has been entirely one-sided, that every time I was at my lowest you had to take care of me, I could name a bunch of other things but we don’t have the time for that sadly, time has always been our problem now that I think about it”
Rose chuckled as even more tears slid down her face
“But most importantly, even If I did not manage to help soothe the pain in your heart from your past, just knowing the fact that you and I were at each other's side was enough for me”
“Rose please stop we ca-”
Rose put her finger on jacobs mouth, and Jacob saw that purple color in Rose’s eyes
“Thank you, and I love you Jacob Gonzales Thomsan, I love your goofiness, I love your weird habits especially when you take a double take to make sure everyone is doing well, I love your terrible dad jokes, and I could name a million other things why I think your the best guy I’ve ever known”
Looking at roses face she was smiling while tears ran down her face, and her voice was cracking
“I know things are gonna be tough, but I know you can get through it all, after all, it's your perfect imperfections that are your strong points…It's what I love most about you, your humanity”
“Rose-”
Just before Jacob could respond to Rose’s feeling she kissed him, and with that kiss Jacob could see a huge ship that looked like of battleship falling from the sky, any other person’s instinct would be to run but with Rose’s kiss he felt oddly at peace, at least he got to be with her before the world ended in that regard, but before Jacob could witness the end his consciousness slowly fell into a slumber, rose held onto his body saying only one thing
“Goodbye”
