People make mistakes. They screw up. They do things they wish they hadn't. They make promises they can't keep. They lose people that they love. But how much can you lose before you start to crack?

Sawyer's POV-

I was sitting on a large tree stump overlooking a beautiful view of the small little town we were currently residing in, scribbling down in my notebook that I carried everywhere with me.

I heard rustling coming from behind me and footsteps slowly proceeding as well and quickly shoved my notebook in the back pocket of my jeans. I grabbed the knife I'm forced to carry around and slowly started approaching the sound.

I gulped nervously held my knife out, ready to attack whoever it was. I watched as the bushes started moving more and someone made their way out and almost lunged at them until their face became clear and I saw that it was just James.

"Whoa whoa Sawyer chill it's just me." He held up his hands in surrender and I sighed, pushing my hair out of my face, relieved.

"James you scared the shit out of me!"

"Sorry babe." He chuckled, making me roll my eyes and walk back to where I was sitting.

I felt him reach in my back pocket and grab my notebook to start looking through it.

"Hey what is this? I saw you take it…..um….earlier, and I-"

"Don't touch that!" I half screamed and shoved it away from him and held it to my chest.

"Whoa sorry I was just curious and I wondered why it was so important to you."

I sighed again, my guard down.

"No I'm sorry, it's just, just that this has a lot of meaning to me…." I trailed off, a tear running down my cheek.

"Hey hey don't cry," He wrapped his arms around me in a hug, "I'm sorry, really. I should've just kept my mouth closed."

I patted his back softly, not entirely giving in.

"S'okay. Was bound to happen soon anyway."

He sighed before letting go and walking to the edge of the grass, putting his hands on the wood railing and taking in the view.

"So what is this place?" He asked, keeping his focus on the view.

"I observed him carefully and replied, "Just some place I found."

I walked over next to him and set my hands down lightly on the railing, still observing him.

He grinned slightly. "A private hideout?"

I stopped observing him and changed my focus back on the view. "Something like that. It's just somewhere I go to think."

"Well the view's great."

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

I felt his gaze drift to me and he whispered, "It's not the only thing here that is."

I just looked at him and he started leaning closer so I leaned away instantly and walked away.

"We should….we should uh, get back, they're probably wondering where we are."

I shoved all my stuff in my pockets and James just nodded before making his way out of the line of bushes with me trailing slightly behind him.

I sighed, frustrated and on the brink of tears for the umpteenth time today and reflected on how I ended up where I am right now.

Because if you would've told me a month ago that I'd be in the situation I am right now, I'd tell you that you were crazy.
