"There's no point having wishes if you don't at least try to do them."

Wishes

By: Avalon's Wish

"What did you wish for?" he questioned curiously as he shifted on his spot on the hard ground by her. He saw her shrug nonchalantly through his peripheral vision and smirked at her.

She turned to glare at him and frowned at the smirk plastered on his face, "why do you want to know?" she challenged.

He shrugged and nudged her shoulder with his and then after a moment of silence, poked her in the side, and chuckled when she jumped from the sudden action, "What was that for?" she questioned irritably. "For not telling me what you wished for."

She rolled her eyes and turned away from him so he couldn't see her face, "If I told you… it wouldn't come true…"

He cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow at her unexpected answer. He reached for her hand and took it in his and then brought it to his lips, where he placed a kiss on it. She turned to look at him with a slight frown and tried to pull her hand free, but he held on. "You know you can tell me any wish and I'll make sure it comes true Rae…"

She sighed and turned back to him so she was facing him entirely. Her short lavender locks danced in the small breeze that played around them as she pulled her navy blue sweater tighter around her, suddenly feeling colder. "Why are you doing this Richard?"

He looked at her confused for a moment until she motioned around them and he understood what she was trying to say, he smiled and rested his hands on her knees, rubbing them softly. "I wanted to get out for a bit." He said casually.

"But why did you invite me only and not the others I'm sure they would have enjoyed a little outing also." His hands slowly moved upwards until they met the hem of the white dress she was wearing, his fingers started playing with the soft fabric of the dress until her hands rested on top of his and stopped his actions. He looked up into her eyes and noticed the sadness in them.

"You know why I only invited you Rae…"

Her hands moved to rest on her flat stomach as she bit back tears, "I don't want to think about that right now Richard…" he placed a finger under her chin and tilted her head upwards so she was looking at him with her sad amethyst eyes. "We can always try again Rae… and this time I'll make sure nothing bad happens again… I promise."

She shook her head and looked up at the sky, "Don't make promises you can't keep Richard…. I'm scared the same thing will happen again," she took a shaky breath and continued, "and I don't think I will be able to it handle it."

"It's cause you were under a lot of stress Rae and next time I'll make sure you won't have to lift a finger to do anything, the others and I will make sure of it." She gave a small smile and looked back at him, "you know I love you and will do anything to make you happy again."

She played with the ring on her finger before she stood up and extended out a hand toward Richard so she can help him up, he tilted his head to the side but reached for her hand and hoisted himself up. She led him back to the car they took there and opened the back seat where she climbed in and waited for him to do the same. He smiled at her but didn't object as she leaned into him and placed a light kiss on his lips.

"You better promise to make my wish come true…"
