The third sun had finally set past the trees over the cornfields where Jessica lay, staring up at the silver moon. "I wonder what you're doing right now…"

"Eh, nothing really."

Jessica gasped and jumped to her feet. "What are you doing here?!" She hissed. "If Mark catches you, we'll both be done for!"

Reigme shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not scared of a weak old man." Jessica stared at the ground. "Why did you come?"

Reigme stared at her in confusion. "I came to see if you were okay, and frankly, you look half dead with exhaustion…are you okay?" Jessica shrugged. "You should know by now that I like to work my butt off…" Reigme smiled. "Yeah…well, I guess I'll just leave since you don't want me here." Jessica's heart nearly ripped in half. She glared at him, tears stung the back of her eyes, but she willed herself to stay strong. "No, its okay you can sit with me a few minutes, but I'll have to go soon…" Reigme sighed. "I just don't want to see you get hurt…" Jessica smiled weakly and lay down, staring up at the sky.

"What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger…right?"

Reigme shook his head and sat down beside her. "You're too stubborn for your own good, you know?"

Jessica swallowed hard. Reigme laid down next too her, staring up at the sky, his strong arms folded over his chest. Jessica took the opportunity to watch him and take in his every detail, and to just stare. Reigme glanced at her. "What?" Jessica blushed and looked away. "I-I thought I saw a fox is all…" Reigme smirked. "Yeah I'll bet. By the way, I heard you were a good singer. "Jessica blushed. " No, not really…" Reigme choked, unable to believe what she had said. "I don't believe you for one second!" Jessica shrugged. "Reigme's mouth dropped open. "Prove it, and sing."

Jessica shook her head and stared at the moon. "Maybe later." She slowly got to her feet. Dust spilled off of the back of her shirt. "I'll see you later." She turned to leave. Reigme scrambled to his feet. "No, Jess, wait…" She turned and faced him. She melted as he tightly wrapped his arms around her pulling her close. Jessica buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry Reigme, but something has to change…I can't live like this anymore…Reigme, I'm sorry, and please don't forget about me…"

Reigme almost let go. "Wait…Jess? Please I-I don't understand…" Jessica slipped her fingers through his hair and pulled his face to hers kissing his forehead. "You will soon enough…" She slowly pulled away, her fingers trailed across his cheeks, his fingers dragged across her hips as he reluctantly let go. He stared into her eyes. "But what about us?" Jessica looked away. "Where I am going it won't matter, but I'll never forget you…and please don't be mad." She turned and slowly made her way to her house where she received no dinner and was sent directly to bed.

Reigme watched her walk away. He was completely confused and scared for her. He stared at the ground before him. "Why does this have to be so hard? What made her change into this?" He mumbled. He looked up as Jessica began to fade into the field. He followed her to the edge of the field and watched as Mark snapped his belt behind her slamming the door behind him. Reigme winced. "This, this is why…"

He slowly backed away, and tore down the road toward his house.
