School Hallway

It was another day at school for Shirley and I whilst another day at the hospital for Saturn. All that I was thinking is that it must've been really difficult for her to wake up knowing if she'll heal or not.

I need to make her forget it or at least for her to know that life is still amazing.

I sighed in deep worry as I kept on rambling in my mind. It was the afternoon dismissal and as per usual, I was waiting for Shirley to finish organizing her locker.

I chuckled, teasing her turtle-like speed.

She frowned at me and closed her locker with a bang. "I wish that this is the only thing that would take forever but I guess, Saturn's medication holds a tie with it."

I patted her back to comfort her whilst showing her a weak smile.

Of course, I don't know if everything will actually be alright. I can't manage her life, and I also can't manage the future.

If I only could...

"I hope so," she said, unaware of some liquid forming under her blue irises. As she wiped them off, she continued, "let's go?"

I replied, thinking of an immediate idea. Remembering the advice Avalon had gave me, I grinned.

"What? Why?" she questioned, her dark ginger brows furrowing.

I asked her the sudden vague interrogation.

"Where? I like things detailed, big bro'."

I suggested, ending it with a large smirk displaying on my lips.

"Are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend?!" Shirley squealed in delight, almost alerting every student near us.

"Okay, okay... YAY."

Fizzledbomb Mall

4 : 01 pm

"Are we there yet? My knees are hurting from all the walking," Shirley complained. She was hyperventilating while we walked to the mall.

"So what's your plan?" she asked. We were entering the chilly ambience that the mall possessed due to the large airconditioners.

I mumbled. I was busy scanning the spacious building, finding some stores.

"Lesson learned, huh?"

I nodded my head as a response. I hastily stated, grabbing her hand only to drag her anywhere I want to.

"Okay, jeez! Since when did you all go demanding?" she managed to utter as she followed my pace.

We went along to rummage a rather appropriate emporium for all the things I was eager to get for the surprise.

"What is taking that doofus so long?"

I blasted out in return. Brushing the dust off the suit I was wearing, I took another glance of myself in the mirror.

"Daaamn Jackson," Shirley said in quite awe.

"You freakin' look like a million bucks in that tuxedo!"

"Yup, now buy that and carry all this things. It's very heavy, you know," she stated, gesturing to the heck lot of shopping bags with all the stuff we already bought.

I sighed and averted my eyes from the mirror only to turn at my love's twin sister, I extended my arm.

"Thank you. And by the way?" She asked.

"What's that pick for?"

She rolled her eyes in annoyance and then said, "I forgot to mention, Saturn's also undergoing chemo so, I think she's all cute and bald today."

"I hope it will."

Fizzledbomb Hospital

6 : 14 pm

Along with Shirley, I turned the knob of Saturn's door open. Instantly, I heard soft sobbing from a familiar voice.

I hurried to her, swiftly sitting by her mattress and wiped the salty tears streaming down her cheeks.

Her skin was paler than usual. Her lips were not as pink as before. Her body looked as if she wasn't eating for days. And her shiny strawberry blonde mane, was all gone because of therapy.

I understood how hard everything has been for her lately. It was all coming simultaneously and at the same time, unexpectedly.

Although, she shook her head and cried even more. "Mr. Holland passed away this morning, ol' grandpa? The one who never stopped bugging about Karen."

I gasped in both surprise and confusion,

"What if I die, Jackass? What would you do?" She questioned, attempting to connect her situation with the subject.

Shirls quietly giggled in the background yet, it was still loud enough for Saturn and I to hear. We glared at her which made her ultimately stop.

I declared proud and fulfilled, ending it with a genuine grin present on my features.

She beamed back at me and whispered in my ear, "Just love me 'til the day I die, okay?"

I agreed weakly even though I know deep down inside of me that it will be tough for me to do it.

The melancholy tension inside the minute room was evident so Shirley alerted me for the surprise.

"Okay... change of subject. Saturn?"

"Yes, Shirls?"

"Do you know that Jackson can sing?"

"Terribly? Yes!"

I commented and pretended to be offended as I took out my guitar out from its case.

Saturn's eyes glint up in curiosity and awe, "you play?"

I nodded, teasing a smirk at her.

She snickered lightly, "I knew you've always been such a Belieber since the day we've met."

[A/N: play the video and imagine jackson singing for saturn

I sung the last line whilst strumming the final note at my guitar.

"That was amazing. I love you, Jackass!"

"YES. Oh my God, yes! I'll mar─ be your girlfriend!"

"Hey, at least I didn't showed up in a hospital like there's a promenade inside."

"JUST KISS NOW ALREADY AND MAKE LOVE AND TINY JACKSONS AND SATURNS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE EFFIN' CUTE."

"Shirley!"

"Sorry."
