Chapter 67 - Bye Jason

Jason laid his head on his hand. Picture after picture he checked but couldn't find someone who clicked to his as the author. 

He flipped the next page and placed his hand on the book. He was too tired to look up and check the pictures on the page, his hand landed on Davy's photo. 

Davy looked at his watch to check the time. He glanced at the year book and saw a glimpse of himself, at least what he used to look like before he went abroad.

He glanced at Jason and realized that the older male didn't even look at the picture. It made him truly sad. It was as though, he wasn't even important for the man to glance at. 

"Since that is the case then don't blame for stopping to care," he uttered. 

Jason blinked hearing his voice. His words were strange to him and he didn't understand why the boy said that. 

Davy removed a small black box from his pocket and opened it. A message appeared on Jason's phone. The man was forced to lift up his head to check what it was that made his phone beep. 

<<Congratulations, you've received the key to the secret door to Aphidia.>>

The message read. Jason rubbed his eyes and read the message over and over again, he was yet to find the author and yet he got the door back to the novel. It didn't make sense. 

The last he checked, the author had given up writing the novel, it didn't make sense why the person would suddenly send him the key to that place. It was hard to imagine that the author could be so generous. 

He set his phone down on the book and was shocked. His eyes came face to face with a younger crown prince in glasses. He froze in place. In the same uniform as him was the crown prince.

'Davion is real,' he thought. 

He lowered his head to read the name of the boy. Suddenly his eyes became blurry. He could hardly make out the name that was written under the picture. 

"Bye Jason," Davy said. He flashed the light from the black box at Jason before the man fell asleep on the table. He got up closed the picture books and returned them to their right place. He wired money to Jason's account before he walked out of the building. 

He had always thought that their relationship was up to them. But it was never a relationship to begin with and since he couldn't have him. Any hope was bound to break as his hands were tied. 

"They say that when you love something, you let it go. I will give you what you want, but it's a one way trip," he uttered. 

Jason had a choice, either his world or the novel. Whatever the choice the older male made, it will be the choice that he would have to live with forever. 

He had twenty four hours to decided what he wants. Whether it will be go back into the novel as a character or if he gets to choose to live in the real world. 

Davy removed his wig and threw it im the dustbin, he removed the pins from his hair and let it dance freely on his back, he put on his glances and walked out of the school.

A white car was waiting for him outside, he looked back one more time. "I loved you Jasy," he spoke out. 

He got into the car letting go. Starting now, he will draw the line between him and his past. He won't try to force down his heart or at the back of his mind. He would embrace it with open arms and free himself once and for all.

"How did it go?" He asked Zillon.

"The contest has began. All of them got the key to go back to Aphidia, we are just waiting for one of them to open the door," Zillon spoke. 

He handed Davy the pad, Davy looked down and saw all the characters.Sashina, Jason, Amaru, Winrus and Aricus. 

They were all inactive. They had not been activated yet, he had fixed the novel world and made so many changes that he was sure they were all going to love. 

They just needed the three transmigrants to open the doors to the novel for them to start writing. 

"Do you think they will return?" Zillon asked curiously. He doubted that Jason and the others would want to go back.

Jason seemed to have something urgent he wanted to find. As far as he could tell, it was more important than the novel, from how it kept him from thoughts of the crown prince. 

"Jason will," Davy said with certainty. 

He picked up his pen and began to sketch. He had to clear his mind to get back to the flow of the novel. He had anticipated that he would start writing again in a few months giving Jason time but he was forced to go back immediately. 

******

Jason opened his eyes. A few hours had passed since Davy left, he looked around the room. He couldn't see anyone around. 

He opened his phone and saw the message about the key. He clicked if without a second thought and saw a key inside the message. 

He clicked it thinking how cute it was. He set his phone down and started thinking, he could recall what he was doing at the library or what the message meant.

He got up and walked out of the library. He made his way out of the school, he had no clue as to what was happening. He had no recollection of why he was in a school or where he lived.

His head was getting heavy as he walked out of the school. He dropped on his knees and held his head, the pain was excruciating. 

"I'm Davy, Davion Blakemore," he saw a young boy in a uniform introduce himself before he lost consciousness and fell to the ground. 

*******

"How is he?"

"Will he ever wake up?"

"How will he ever be alright?"

"Is he ever going to be better?"

Jason opened his eyes to the many questions that surrounded him. 

"Huh, he opened his eyes," he heard a shout im the room. 

He groaned sitting up on the bed, the last thing he recalled was going to the library with Davy and them finding the photo of the crown prince in the yearbook.

The crown prince was in junior high when he was a senior. He knew the author of the book and his name was Davion Blakemore just like the prince of Aphidia. 

He had figured it all out. Now all he had to do was look for him. With his name, he could find out where Davy lived and get to talk to him.

He was more interested in how they met than anything else. It was so exciting that he had figured everything out, he clapped for himself for thinking of checking the yearbooks.

He now had a face to look for and a name. With Davion's looks he doubted that it was easy for those who met him to forget him so quickly. So finding someone that good looking wouldn't be hard. 

"Are you okay love?" He heard the melodic voice of the crown prince ask him.

He turned to his side and to his surprise, the crown prince sat on the bed next to him. He had a worried look in his eyes, Jason was speechless. 

He looked away from the man and glanced at everyone in the room. He saw Amaru, Sashina, Winrus, Zanir and some maids in the room.

"No, no no no!" He screamed repeatedly. He had come so close to finding the author. It wasn't right to be back into the novel.

He had come so close to piecing together everything from his past. Putting together all the memories that he had lost and then suddenly he was returned to Aphidia. 

"You are not fine?" Davidson inquiries from hearing how much he was screaming the word no. Jason laid his head back into the pillow and looked up.

Fate was truly cruel. When he desired nothing more than to return to the novel, it didn't happen and when he wished to uncover the truth about his past, he got his first wish granted. 

He got why he felt like he was about to lose something very important to him. It was because he was set to lose his past, he had let it go once without the memories and now once again he was forced to let it go because of his present.

"This can't be happening," he screamed.

He hated it, he hated the author and the novel. It wasn't right that he gets to live with a void in his heart forever. He had the right to know his past and the author took that from him. 

"Are you alright?" Davidson asked him once more.
