Disclaimer: Just the idea is mine. Nothing else Jade's Point of View
She was locked in her own world looking out into his
He was locked outside her world longing to be in hers
She couldn't step over the crossheads of her world to return to his
But he could enter into her world
And when he came into her world they were together
And when he came into her world it was once again their world
And when he came into her world they were no longer locked in
They were secure in a circle of love
Her world became his
His world hers
So it was one world
And now she is safe
In that secure love
Lasting eternally
My cousin wrote that poem. I read it every night before going to bed. It makes me think of Beck. I know that we are worlds apart but he is my world. With him I am secure in a circle of love and without him I'm locked in a world that is scary and cold.
I called my cousin and let her know I appreciated that poem.
"Jade," she said, "You may not believe it now but it's gonna be okay."
"Every day I worry"
"I know," she said, "and the same thing happens with me but at the end of the day everything turns out right"
"But what about if it doesn't," I asked her
"Even when it doesn't it will," she told me, "You will never be alone. Remember there are many times that you will feel like your life is falling apart. It doesn't mean it is going to fall apart. Not everything is always what it seems."
"Thank you," I told my cousin, "I love you"
"I love you too," she said.
I hung up the phone and settled into bed. Normally I wouldn't have been able to sleep but I was exhausted today. It was a relief to get sleep that night. Hopefully my mind wouldn't be plagued with nightmares.
Somewhere around 4 o'clock in the morning I heard a noise. I didn't think much of it. I figured it must have just been a dream and I went back to sleep. I heard some rustling. I figured that it was just the leaves on the trees or some animal nearby.
I heard my door open however and that was when I got scared.
Don't fight it, I told myself, pretend to be dead. Nobody will attack a dead person. I felt a hand gently brush my hair back gently and kiss my lips. Heart pounding I opened my eyes PRAYING it wasn't a beautiful nightmare.
It was no nightmare.
"General Friend gave everyone a two week leave," he explained and then told me about the rest of the situation.
My heart sang with joy at that news. I had my Beck back. Yes he only had a two week leave but I would deal with the goodbye at the end of the two weeks.
Right now there was only one thing that mattered. All that mattered to me now was that I had Beck back. General Friend really lived up to his name. He was a true friend. He gave me Beck back even for just two weeks.
