Chapter 24
Lukas sits on the bed, buttoning up his white dress shirt. Jesse puts on her dark navy blue strapless dress before walking up to Lukas and turning around, "Could you zip it up?" She asks before closing her eyes. Lukas zips up the dress before hearing a soft sob. "Jesse? Whats wrong?" Lukas asks as she turns around. Lukas grabs her face and wipes her tears with his thumbs. "Lukas, I need to know... After all the things I put this kingdom; Our family through. After all Luna did and after the fact that I have almost gotten married and more... You never left me side. You always have loved me and I am forever grateful for that but... why? Why did you never leave when you had the chance to?" Jesse could feel her cheeks getting wetter by the second. Lukas lets out a sigh, "Jessica Rose Carter, you are my everything. I LOVE YOU more than anything and sure we fight. Sure I could have left but love is a powerful thing and I could never just up and leave you. No matter how mad I am at you." Lukas says then he cups his hands on her cheeks. He holds the love of his life close as she starts full on sobbing into his shirt. "I-I love you so much, Lukas! Nothing... and I mean NOTHING... can make me stop loving you." She gripped onto his shirt and cries until she could not cry anymore. After, what seemed like forever, she pulls away. She wipes her tear-stained cheeks before gasping, "oh gosh! I ruined your shirt, Lukas!" The blonde laughs and smiles before kissing her lips, "Thats okay, I'll just change it love." Jesse watches Lukas as he walks to the closet. She smiles for a second before turning around, feeling a familiar presence. Some just... didn't feel right. Jesse looks at the mirror, suddenly fearing for her life. Jesse was ready to break the mirror, if she has too. Usually, the hideous figure would appear and try to kill her but now? Nothing... Jesse takes a deep breathe then takes the braid out of her hair. "Baby, are you okay?" Lukas asks as he walks behind her. He buttons up the top button of his shirt before putting on his black suit jacket.
"...Yeah. I'm perfectly fine."
"Lets go to the dance." Lukas says as he kisses her head.
"Ow!" Jesse grabs her head, where it was bleeding from the last mirror.
"Sorry! ...Jesse, I need you to tell me everything." Lukas says and hr grabs his wife's hands.
Jesse instantly pulls away, "Why should I?"
"Jesse, I need to know everything... Please!"
"Why should I tell you? This is something I need to keep to myself!"
"I thought you trusted me Jesse! I mean, without trust, what does our marriage have?"
"..." Jesse grabs her tiara and runs out, without saying another word.
"...Jesse wait!" Lukas grabs his crown before following her.
As the both run out, the black figure appears in the mirror, smirking. "How rude of Jesse. Not inviting me... Oh well. Who says I can't crash the party?" The figure laughs, mischievously then he slowly steps out of the mirror and into reality. He looks at his own reflection before putting his hands on the hood of his cloak. "I can't go to the dance like this. People would get suspicious." He takes off the hood and closes his eyes. After a second, his aqua shirt and blue jeans turn into a full white suit and bow tie. He opens his eyes, and looks at himself. "Well hello handsome." He says and he smirks. His pure white eyes glow brightly as he says, "Watch out, Jessica Rose Carter. Tonight will be a night you will NEVER forget."
Jesse puts her tiara onto her head then she runs into the crowd of people. She didn't wanna tell Lukas anything. Not yet at least... she stops running and takes a deep breathe. Lukas puts the crown on his head and starts looking for Jesse. "Jesse?" He asks before sighing. He didn't mean what she said. Jesse lets out a big sigh before starting to turn around. She starts to head back to her husband but someone grabs her arm and yanks her back toward them. Lukas looks around before spotting the wavy haired woman in the blue dress. Her tiara is gone and she is pressed up against a wall, and Erik is holding her arms. It was clear Jesse did not wanna dance with, talk to or even be around Erik. "HEY." He walks over and grabs Erik's arm. "What did I tell you." Lukas growls and he practically pry's Erik off of his wife. "You said I could have her." Erik smirks. Lukas growls, "I said Stay. Away. From. Her!" He yells. Some people look at him as he pushes Erik into the crowd. "Your not welcome here, Erik. Now stay away from my wife or GET. OUT." Erik gulps before running into the crowd. Lukas looks back at his wife, "Are you okay?" He asks he and Jesse slowly nods. "I didn't... I didn't mean to run. I will tell you everything at some point but for now... I'm going to keep it to myself, okay? I love you but... I just need to keep it in for now. I just feel... like if you heard how I felt... I..." Lukas smiles a little and puts a finger on her lips, "I completely understand." He smiles then they both look down awkwardly. A piano can be heard playing then Lukas smirks and looks at his wife, "Why hello miss. I saw you were alone and I was wondering if you would like to dance." He holds his hand out. Jesse looks at him and raises her eyebrow before giggling and grabbing his hand, "Why, of course. It would be an honor to dance with you, your majesty." Lukas kisses her hand before pulling her close. A female starts singing and the male singer smiles at the female.

"I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you. I don't need you to search for the proof that I should. You don't have to convince me; You don't have to be scared you're not enough. 'Cause what we've got going is good." Lukas smiles as he holds his wife close to him. The female singer breathes and closes her eyes, "I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken. I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget. Clear the slate and start over. Try to quiet the noises in your head." Lukas softly kisses Jesse's head as they dance. "We can't compete with all that. So what if it's us? What if it's us? And only us and what came before won't count anymore or matter? Can we try that? What if it's you? And what if it's me? And what if that's all that we need it to be, and the rest of the world falls away? What do you say?" The female singer looks at the male singer and smiles.
Jesse closes her eyes and rests her head on Lukas' shoulder. She sighs as the male singer starts singing. "I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me..."
"Well?"
"So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go but if you really see me— If you love me for me and nothing else— Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know! So it can be us, It can be us, and only us! And what came before won't count anymore or matter. We can try that."
Lukas and Jesse close their eyes and sing with the singers. "It's not so impossible!"
"Nobody else but the two of us here" Lukas sings in his wife's ear.
"'Cause you're saying it's possible!" They both sing together then Lukas spins Jesse around.
"We can just watch the whole world disappear." Jesse sings and smiles.
"'Til you're the only one I still know how to see." They both sing.
"It's just you and me..." Lukas whispers and Jesse grabs his hands.
"It'll be us, It'll be us; And only us... and what came before won't count anymore!"
They both sing with the singers and smile. "We can try that. You and me. That's all that we need it to be And the rest of the world falls away; And the rest of the world falls away! The world falls away. The world falls away... And it's only us..." Lukas and Jesse slowly lean in before kissing each other.
Their loving moment gets cut short when Jesse pulls away because Maggie and Elliot run up to them. "Mommy! Mommy! Someone is here to see you!" Both kids pull on her hands and Jesse looks at then. "Um... Who?" "A man!" Maggie says then they both run ahead, to the man in the white suit. Lukas grabs his wife's hand then they both walk up to the man. "Hello, sir. You wanted to see me?" Jesse asks. Lukas grabs onto Maggie and Elliot when Solar and Sean walk over. "Yes, I did. I came to visit you. My old friend." He turns toward Jesse and she freezes up when she sees his eyes. "...Are you sure I know you?" She gulps and tries to not freak out. "I'm sure you do. Though, you were so young when we first met. You were barely three years old." The man says before walking around Jesse, "I mean, you probably would have forgotten me— The man who killed your father in cold blood." The man smirks and Jesse tears up then looks at the man with pure hatred. "...Hello, Herobrine."
