I just couldn’t believe his parents would write something like that, with no explanation or anything.   Did his parents even love him?  He set the letter down and holds me close. 

              “I’m so sorry.” I said with a sob.

              “It’s not your fault.” He said in a calming voice.  He rocked me back and forth in his arms until I fell asleep. 

              That night I dreamt of what may have happened.  I also dreamt of how Jake could make me immortal.  Suddenly I wake up. I am still in Jake’s living room on his couch. 

              I hear movement in the kitchen.  I get up from the couch and walked into the kitchen; something smells good.

              “I didn’t know you could cook.” I say with a laugh.

              “Well wait till you try this.”

                   “Um Jake.”

              “Yeah.”

              “I know how we can be together forever.”

              “Yeah, how?”

              “You can make me immortal.” I said with a little hope in my voice.

              “Why would you want to become like me?”
