The amount of strength and mental insanity it takes to not kiss someone you love, is unbearable. Having her close is like having the one thing you desire most in this world dangling in front of you. And everytime you try to grab, it's yanked out of you're reach.

It sucks...

We spent the day walking through Nashville. Not only was it our last day in the city, but it was out last day in the U.S.

Tonight, we'd be on a plane headed to France for our European half of the 6 month tour.

6 months...

Traveling around the world for 6 months...with her.

My theory is this can bring us closer. If that's even possible. But I have a good feeling.

"God you're so slow. Come on." Lacey laughed as she grabbed my hand and pulled me along.

There was a fair in town, a stage was set up with a guy singing alongside a violin. A crowd of people dancing to the same steps.

Lacey pulled me over to an open section of the field that was half covered with people listening to the music.

She didn't say anything. She just stood silently looking up at the sky. I followed her eyes and saw what had her undivided attention. The clouds were white as ever, big and fluffy like you'd see in a painting. The sun was half hidden behind them. I looked back at her. She was smiling lightly. It was contagious.

She pulled out her camera and bent down to one of the sunflowers that was standing up next to us.

She looked into the camera with such focus and concentration as she took a picture. Once she got it she smiled again. Once again, contagiously making me do the same. Her beautiful smile always could make you forget everything and just smile along with her.

"It's too beautiful to miss. One day I'm gonna look at this, maybe I'll remember maybe I won't. If I don't, I'm gonna give it a story."

I felt myself start to smile even more. She has powers. I'm convinced. It's the explanation as to why this has been happening to me.

"You're quiet. Did I loose you?" She looked to me and laughed. I realized I'd been staring at her for a while and shook my head.

"No."

"Then why are you looking at me like I have two heads?" She smirked.

I started walking,"You didn't loose me. I got lost in you. Big difference."

I looked back to see her still standing in her original spot. The sun giving my beautiful angel a halo.

"What does that mean?" She asked, curiosity in her tone.

I didn't wanna say. Not that I could even if I wanted to.

I held my hand out to her and gave her a smile,"Comin'?"

She just smiled, holding her hand out and taking mine. A charge ran through her palm and into mine. Chasing through my entire body. I pulled her over to me and she laughed, following me as we walked.

But it didn't last long.

"Hey wait up!" I heard Rydel's voice coming over.

Lacey didn't have time to turn. Rydel came up behind her and hugged her. Causing them both to laugh.

Rocky came over to me and wrapped his arm around me, patting my shoulder. I turned to find him smirking. I shrugged him off and rolled my eyes.

Rydel linked arms with Lace, stealing her away from me.

Once the sun went down, we ended up back at the crowd. Everyone was dancing. I leaned against one of the trees and watched her.

"Could've just asked her." I turned to see my dad smirking as he walked over.

He knew me too well. I never even told him and he knew what I was thinking.

"What?" I played the dumb card.

He leaned against the opposite side of the tree.

"Look kiddo, you gotta torturing yourself."

"How am I torturing myself?"

"Well, you're sitting back watching her dance with you're brother instead of you and you're not doing a thing about it."

Okay so maybe he's right. I looked back at the two of them. Rocky had her hands, spinning her around to make her laugh. He pulled her back in and swayed them back and forth.

"You think I'd let you're mother dance with another guy if I could help it?"

I turned back to him,"That's different."

He rose his eyebrows,"Is it?"

He left it there. Walking off to my mom where he pulled her into the crowd and danced with her.

I looked around to find everyone dancing.

Ratliff and Rydel were hand and hand. He was moving her back and forth and turning her around.

Riker had Vanni close, gently swaying them side to side.

Ryland dipped Savannah down and she smiled as he brought her back up.

Rocky spun...a blonde? Lacey's dark brown head was not where it was before. I looked around for her and suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around mine and a head on my shoulder. I turned to see her beautiful face, smiling.

"Hey." I couldn't help but laugh,"What happen, I thought you were with Rocky."

She shrugged,"Eh, I let him go. He's not the best dancer."

I laughed with her. She wasn't wrong.

"Then I remember...my best friend is a fantastic dancer."

She moved around a little to face me, her arms still wrapped around my one arm.

She was close. Very close.

"It's been a while since we had a dance." She smirked.

My smile grew without control. I took her hands and started pulling her away back into the field we were in earlier.

"Wha-"

I didn't let her finish,"If we're gonna dance, we're gonna do it right. Our way." I brought us to a middle of the area and pulled her close.

The stars provided a romantic setting about us. The moon half lit, illuminating the field just enough to allow us sight. It lit her up perfectly. Her eyes turned into a subtle, beautiful pool of blue as the moon hit them. Her hair a shade lighter, bringing out her natural highlights brought to the forefront. The sound of violins could still be heard from our spot. It was perfect.


Hope you all are enjoying my loves!
