A moment in silence

If you stand still long enough in the middle of the night in a forest you soon will be able to hear the spark of magic that flutters throughout the forest waking it from its slumber. Being in the presence of such magic can be a euphoric experience, but this story tells the one of friendship and healing of the soul. Jenna and Tara were not as one, Jenna was a chaotic organizer with a system that was designed to perfection for her own life. Tara was a carefree spirit who took the time to get lost in the beauty of this world. But together they grew as one sturdy tree truck, and the years went on together they added their own branches. The summer before their junior year of high school, they spent all summer together from starting the summer off with a trip to Hawaii to taking turns living at each other's houses and swimming till night fell, after a crazy camping trip on the cold beach they longed for a calm night with nature. The last weekend before school started up again, the two friends packed up the car with their dog and headed to the cabin. After spending the entire first day inside the cabin without speaking to each other just lost on our phones, a thought occurred to Jenna, she looked around the room relaxing how long it had actually been since the two of them have connected everything lately seemed they needed social media in order to have fun. This frustrated Jenna so, lifting herself from the chair she looked at Tara and handed her phone and said, " Let's lock this up and go explore like when we were little." Tara who had been needing to stretch her legs happily agreed, and just like that as the sun was setting the two of them ventured into the forest. They walked in silence until they saw the clearing with a small pool of water from a small waterfall, Tara looked at Jenna, " I'll go in if you go in ''. Jenna smirked, " last one in has to drive home!". Tara and Jenna raced to jump into the water glad they wore their swimsuits underneath their clothes. It was a close finish that put Tara in the lead. Jenna and Tara laughed and let their hair down, enjoying their time in the water, with the moonlight illuminating their surroundings. The forest air turned silky sweet and smelled of crisp red apples. Jenna and Tara stood by the waterfall in silence; they admired the enchanted glow of the forest they looked at each other and without speaking they both knew that together they would always seek to find magic.
