The light waved on the ground like water, casting shadows under it's green leafs. The branches rustled together in the wind creating a hushed whisper around her. Lioness sat on a lonely brown bench outside the hospital. Her head was bowed and her hands placed on her lap looking down into the ground. Another breeze brushed by casting a few leafs to fall from the treetop. Lioness looked up from the bench leaning against the back, looking up through the trees towards the open blue sky. A faint shadow of a bird flew overhead and Lioness sighed again, her mind wandering. She sat thinking about Shark who seemed to stay stuck in her mind ever since last night.

Her eyes were slightly dropped from the lack of sleep. Her thoughts tumbled around so much that she couldn't fall into a dream, afraid it would only turn into a nightmare. Lioness put her hand to her head trying to cast away the thought of a nightmare but it was already upon her. The moments rolled through her mind, Shark falling to the ground, his heart stop beating, him lying in her arms. Lioness leaned forward on the bench, her heart aching even more.

"Was he really telling the truth," she asked herself on the bench in the grass in denial, talking only to the trees. "Or was he just trying to make me feel better,"

The breeze knocked some loose strands of hair into her face forcing her to brush them back. Lioness cuddled into herself, the autumn season making the air turn chilly. She slightly laughed to herself in a melancholy way.

"You would be the one to say something and not mean it,"

She tried to sound happy but her words just made it seem even more unreal. Her smile broke and she sat hugging her arms in the little patch of forest.

"I wish I could take that night back…the night where I said you didn't mean anything. But I guess it's too late, you're in critical condition from my words." Her eyes began to fill with tears and she shut her eyes from the cold breeze trying to hold back the words. The emotion began to bubble inside of her now, confusing her sense of friend and lover.

"Just please tell me you forgive me," she whispered to herself, guilt running ramped and filling her voice. "I don't want to be the villain…not to you."

Lioness looked back up into the sky her face filled with all emotions that she couldn't figure out. She looked back straight ahead and tilted her head slightly down. "But it doesn't matter right, I hurt you to far down for you to even talk to me again. You'll probably never get close to me again."

The trees rustled some more but this time with more excitement hidden in their whispers.

"I couldn't do that," a voice said from behind Lioness.

Lioness' head shot up, her eyes gazing forward but her ears and heart turned behind her. And there under the tree, the leafs falling across his figure, Shark stood one arm in a sling, his white patient jacket open showing the bandages across his chest. There was wrap around his forehead and his pants hanging on his hip slightly baggy. Lioness jumped up from the bench letting go of her coat looking stunned toward Shark. Lioness' face seemed shocked yet extremely happy at the same time. The light from the trees glinted in her eyes showing the oncoming tears that were ready to break the surface. Shark just smiled towards her, his blonde hair faintly swaying in the wind, his clothes rustling from the gentle wind. The two stood looking at each other for a while before Lioness let her hands drop to her side and she managed to put the smile on her face that was longing in her heart.

"I meant what I said," Shark said looking deep into her sparkling green eyes that shimmered.

Lioness felt a great relief off her shoulders and a small laugh escaped her lips even though a few droplets of tears jumped off her face as she moved her head, blinking her eyes. Shark laughed as well and Lioness ran from the bench crying, throwing her arms around Sharks' neck, putting her face into his chest. Shark openly smiled moving his arm out of the way before holding Lioness in the embrace. Shark felt his bandages moisten from her tears and rested his head upon hers with a smile. The two didn't have to say anymore, they stood in each others arms under the falling leafs of the trees. Shark held her close to his chest rubbing his head for a moment into her hair before she looked up at him. The two caught eyes, Blue crystals to green jade. Their smiles showed it all as the hidden love came through…where under the tree...they finally broke the line of friend and lover.
