We rode for what seemed for hours until we came to the clearing by the river. This was our place, we found it when one of our horses ran away and we had to go find her. We found her here, lying down with a new born baby foul right next to her. It was 'fun' carrying her back home because she couldn't even walk yet. So we called this place "The Devils Lair" after the baby foul that we conveniently named Devil Lily. It also had to do with the fact that this place was filled with amazing lilies that were now in full bloom.
"I just love these lilies, don't you?" I smile as I pick one up ad twirl it between my fingers in front of my nose. Austin walks over to me and squats next to me.
"There just gorgeous, like you…" We were always those kinds of friends who flirted with each other and just laughed about it, but sometimes I feel like he doesn't want to laugh. I smile and lean back on the ground, staring up at the sky I start to hum Somewhere in Neverland by All Time Low. I know it's not a very country band, but I'm a serious fan. Austin sings softly along with me as he lies down next to me:
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy,
Don't you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy,
Your last chance,
A better reality, yeah…
"No, that doesn't sound right…" He says grinning. I roll over and lay my arms on his chest and placing my chin on my folded hands and glaring at him confused.
"Those are the lyrics Austin." I chuckle.
"No it should be, Ally run away with me…" He continued singing the song but whenever it said 'Wendy' he would say 'Ally'. When he finished I was resting on top of him listening to him sing in sync to his slow heartbeat, I looked up at him and I caught him staring which caused it to speed up. I got up and walked towards the small patch of blue cornflowers. He rolled onto his stomach and watched me as I picked off the petals one by one.
"Don't you wish that there was a place like that?" He hummed as his way of saying 'what'. "Like Neverland… a place where you could go and never get old." He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Als, your only sixteen. Why would you want to stop growing now?" I picked up one of the little field mice that were hiding in the bushes and it made its self comfy in my palm.
"Because I feel like these are the best years of my life. Pretty soon I'm gunna be the one running the farm, and who knows where on this great heavenly Earth your gunna be." Again he laughed at my southern accent, what is with this boy?
"Als, I don't want to leave you here alone. I'm going to be here with you and whenever you need me I'm here." He walked over and picked up the mouse from my hand and let it run back to the other mice. He took my hand but I got up and walked away.
"No Austin! I can't just trap you here! You're going to want a family and I'm gunna be here breakin' my back on this farm!" I said as I was pacing back and forth.
"Ally I-"
"No! I want you to be happy but I can't do that! This farm has been and always will be my life, and I determined to keep it that way." I breathed out.
"Are you saying that you don't want me to help… or you don't want me here?" His voice was a bit higher than usual, I knew he was hurt.
"No, Austin, no that's not it at all," I walked over and kneeled next to him pulling him into a big hug. "I want to keep you here more than anythin', but I also want you to be happy." He hugged me back.
"Ally, I'm only going to be my happiest when I'm with you. You're my world and everything I do is going to be for you. I can't leave because I love you too much." I felt tears pricking at the backs of my eyes but I blinked them. I inhaled deeply.
"And I love you too much to let you go." I felt his heartbeat pick up again and I placed a hand over it. "What are you nervous about?" I whispered in his ear and it picked up a bit more.
"You scared me for while, I thought you wanted me to leave…" He exhaled and leaned back and I fell back with him and he pulled me to his chest. I traced the winding patterns on his old faded T-shirt and he ran his fingers through my hair.
"I know… but I don't wanna keep you from experiencing all of life's greatest adventures." He sat up and looked at me as I tapped my fingers on my chest and counted the small clouds that passed by the large open space between the trees.
"Ally… something is wrong. What is it?" I turned my head to the side trying not to look at him while I silently let a tear creep down my face. "Don't think I didn't see that…" I shot up and buried my face in my arms and groaned.
"If I tell you, you're going to hate me…" He laughed at me.
"I'm never going to hate you, no matter what happens. Now tell me!" He says harshly. I inhaled sharply and whined. I brought my face up to his and looked at him with as much sorrow as I could.
"A-Austin… I'm getting married…" His breathing stalled and I thought he was about to have a heart attack, but it quite the opposite. He ran over to Louie, and before I could even say anything he mounted and bolted. "AUSTIN WAIT!" I ran a couple of feet before I slowed to a walk; I knew that I couldn't catch up to him. I fell to my knees and sighed, I only let one tear fall. No more, no less. I don't cry, I mourn, but I don't full out cry. It's childish
