Chapter 17 - Just Jay 2.0

Just Jay (Jay's POV)

This is so thrilling, I feel even more freer than before. Who knew letting go could feel this good. I still miss Tatum, but I know now that he will always be a part of me. I'm now able to move on with my life. That young fellow, I think I've seen him before. He looks different somehow, content. I wonder what he's thinking? I decided to glide down lower, he still hasn't seen me at least not until I perched myself on the fence.

He looked up, eyes-wide seemingly shocked, I think. His eyes were locked onto mine. I felt that warm feeling inside of me again. This time I didn't resist, I let it flow through me and I started transitioning. My wings shrunk and changed into arms, my talons became feet and somehow my feathers turned into a coat. I looked at myself amazed as I wiggled eight fingers, two thumbs and ten toes. I knew I was human. I was completely overwhelmed.

I couldn't forget the look on the young fellows face when he saw me transform.

"Jay? Is that really you?" The young fellow asked, stunned.

"Tatum! I almost didn't recognise you in this organic form" I responded, "I thought I'd lost you forever…" tears began to fall upon my face.

"Jay, I was thinking the same, I didn't think I could ever love again" Tate sobbed, as we fell into each other's arms. "And I go by Tate now" he whispered gently in my ear.
