It had been exactly 365 days since I met Jane. She’s the greatest thing to ever happen to me, she’s kind and generous, she’s loving and friendly, and she’s my soulmate. But it’s also been 365 days since I made the deal. I’ve had these powers for years, they’re genetic from my dad. My mom died years ago so it’s always just been us. He’s my best friend. He’s always gone because he’s helping people - that’s what he does best. He’s always wanted me to join him, and I was getting ready to until I met Jane. I was so intrigued when I saw her for the first time. I knew I just HAD to know her. It’s almost like i knew I would fall in love with her. I begged my dad to wait so I can spend time with Jane. He agreed to let me have 365 days with Jane. 1 last year in my hometown with Jane until we leave to help another city. Little did I know Jane would become my person. The person I go to when I’m happy, when I’m sad, even when I’m feeling nothing at all. She makes me feel something. I almost wish I didn’t meet her sometimes so I didn’t have to feel this heartbreak of when I leave. Yet all these memories with her are worth it still. Maybe if Jane accepts my powers and I make an agreement with my dad I can have more time with her. I’m hoping for a miracle at this point. I want to grow old with Jane and settle down with her. She’s worth more than any powers. But as my dad says “a deal is a deal.” So as I walk into janes apartment for the last time, I immediately feel gutted. I think she realizes this too when she sees me because she has a concerned look on her face. I take her to the spot I met her. I held her hand and looked into her eyes. She could feel my sadness, she shed a tear. I could tell she knew something bad was coming. I get the courage to say it, it’s now or never I thought to myself. “Jane, I’m a superhero.” Jane BURSTS out laughing. It made me feel relieved, I gave a laugh too. “I’m serious Jane” then her face switches - she can tell when I’m joking or not. She looks confused and almost scared. I can tell she needs clearance. I sit her down because she looks like she’s going to pass out. I’m probably pale too. Both are hands shaking, I explain to her everything. My dad, our deal, and everything in between. Now her face shifts even more. She starts crying. I’ve never seen so many emotions at once without her even saying any words. And for the first time I say to her “I love you” because I meant it and I could tell she needed to hear it right now. She tells me she loves me back and for a second everything feels surreal. It’s perfect. Then I remember why we are here. “I can’t loose you” Jane says. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Jane mumbles. “I’ll come with you, wherever you go!” Jane yells. These 3 sentences replay over and over in my head, and just once more before I loose my glimmer of hope I had for a mere second. Then I say “You can’t come with me Jane, it’s dangerous and you have a life here. As much as I wish you could come, it’s better this way. Just know this breaks my heart and I cherish every single day I spent here with you. I love you Jane, I will forever.” And I meant every single word. I will love her forever, you can’t forget a relationship like ours. And I knew it would be better if she didn’t come. It’s better for her at least, not me. I’ll miss everyday. But my dad says “if you love something you have to let it go.” Jane is recovering from the last thing I just said. As I see her mouth open I know she’s about to talk. I shush her by giving her a kiss, the most meaningful kiss I think has ever existed. Then I walk away quickly. I can feel her cloud of sadness following me, I can’t bear it anymore. I run. That’s the story of the last time I saw jane.
