The bark against the grain of my skin seems to sink itself in further as if attaching me to the tree. I just honestly hope that I'll be able to get down, other than the obvious choice of a fall. I sit up on the strongest branch I feel is thick enough with my hand so I climb just a few inches further to just sit down. I plop down easily so as not to you know, plummet around twenty feet to an untimely death just before I could be a few hours from death. In all honesty, I'm not too worried. I'm just sick of our mentor. All he does is ride me about how I'm unsettlingly calm. It's so irritating because I just hate how I have to be feeling insane; however I'm completely calm.
I feel a shake and just a small bounce on the branch and I look over to see her face staring up at the same glowing structure. She hums softly the vibrations that are just barely audible there her lips. Perched on her branch, she stares at me, looking with that intensity I fell in love with. I return her gaze as she promptly looks away and blushes.
"I love your eyes." I say to her softly and grab her hand gently and clasp it firmly.
"Well you better get a good look because you may not be able tomorrow."
"Don't even talk like that, Anna."
"It's always a possibility."
I eased back on my tree branch and licked my lips. My eyes wandered the horizon looking for answers, but none appeared. My gaze turns to her as she looks to me for the answers hoping I'd received them. I couldn't bear telling her I have no solution, but just a warm embrace and someone to hold onto. "It'll be alright." I choke out between a halfhearted smile. I kiss her on her forehead gently just to hopefully keep her calm, but she just clutches me tighter and digs her face into my jacket, crying and sobbing hoping that I can console her.
"It better be!"
Great, I thought. More things added onto the to-do-list. Note to self: Stop getting into situations, one cannot get out of. I love her to death, but one of us can leave. I would rather it be her, but I don't know how receptive to me killing myself so she may live. Probably in face, not at all. I grasp her tightly in my arms and I put my lips so ever close to her ear.
"Anna, listen, and never let me go."
"I love you," "Cry," "Don't rain on my parade," and "a thousand years" couldn't distract me from typing THAT:P God, I hate the in love *sighs*
Annnnyway. Peace out, homies, and happy summer!
