What?

The Garden!

*Kana's POV*

        "Wowwwwww!!!!! It's so gorgeous hereeeeee!!!!" I squeal as I quickly run into the entrance of the garden, swiftly losing the two boys. Haha, they'll find me sooner or later, but it might take a while, this place is an intricate maze.

"Kana!!!" I hear my name called. "Kannaaa!" I giggle to myself as the calls get quieter, as I travel closer to the center of the garden.

Once I reach the center, I stop dead in my tracks.

"Oh my stars." The fountain is simply stellar. It's magnificently beautiful with all of it's little details, and the color-changing water elegantly falling from the spouts of the fountain.

I sit on the edge after taking my shoes and socks and leg-warmers off, setting them on the ground outside of the fountain. I stick my feet into the water, to find it surprisingly warm. I then realize that children probably play in this water, so the city has been so kind to keep the water at a warm temperature. How wonderful of them... I should write a thank you note!

*25 minutes later*

Well, my feet began to become a little wrinkled, so I took them out and walked around for a little while to dry them out before putting my socks and shoes back on.

The wind begins to pick up, blowing through my long, black hair.

I then begin to shiver every so often, whenever a gust of wind blows at me.

"Nash?" I call.

No answer.

"C-Cameron?"

Still no answer.

"Hello???" I call louder, shouting. It seems really late, and there's no one around.

I feel like I'm gonna get murdered out here.

Suddenly, someone grabs me around the waist, picking me up from behind and spinning me around- as I scream.

"Woah, woah there, Kana... calm down... It's just me, Cameron." I stop screaming and he turns me to face him. I slowly stop hyperventhilating, him pulling me to him in a calming hug.

"I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to scare you... you just had run off, and I was so happy to have found you, I-"

"Okay, Cameron. You don't have to apologize, it isn't your fault you scared me. I was just overthinking, and I realized there was no one else around, so I jumped to the conclusion that someone was going to murder me in the middle of this garden. Totally irrational fear, I know, but that was why I was screaming. I'm sorry to have freaked you out."

"No, it's totally okay."

"OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND YOU TWO!!!" Nash yells, giving Cameron a hug first, after Cameron lets go of me and runs to Nash.

They're so adorable!!! I'm happy they're this good of friends, and I hope they're friends for the rest of their lives.

"Kana, you too." Nash says, suddenly standing right next to me. I jump, startled.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I wasn't paying attention..." I say. Cameron chuckles.

"She's kind of jumpy from me scaring the shit out of her by accident. She thought I was a serial killer, and that I was going to murder her." Cameron and Nash laugh, and I find myself smiling along at their laughter. It's really beautiful to see someone smile, and especially to hear another's laughter, because of you. It's good to get people to laugh and smile.

"Okay. Now may I have a hug?" Nash asks, and I give him a smile and a little 'yes' before he pulls me flush to his toned body. His hug is so warm, and his clothing smells amazing, like calogne... he makes me feel a little at home. So does Cameron.

I don't know these boys, but they make me feel at home.

They feel like home.

"Okay, where do you live? We can walk you home, if you want."

"Uhm, you could just walk me to the Cafe at the end of Main street, and that's close to my home, so that'll be fine, if that's okay." I say politely.

"Alright, that works. That'll let us get home by One. Mom won't kill us," Nash says, and we all laugh. Each boy takes one of my hands, Cameron on my left, and Nash on my right.

They walk me home, us talking about maybe future plans, and exchanging phone numbers. We take a couple pictures together, so I have some, and they have some for contact photos and such.

When we get to the Cafe, they both give me several hugs, and ask if I could hang out tomorrow.

"Uhm, maybe. I'll text one, or both of you. Okay?" they both say okay and give me another hug each, then we part. I make sure they can't see me anymore before I pull out the key to the Cafe, enter, and lock the door behind me. I lean against the door and run shaky hands through my hair and down my face.

I can't believe that I met them today. I met two new people, and totally went along with whatever they wanted. I can't do that!!!

What did I do?!?!?!

I take another breath before walking across the Cafe floor and down the back stairs, that are behind a locked door.

I own this Cafe, it's new in town. It's my own little business, and we don't open for another three or so months. I have to do a lot of work, including refubishments, painting, decorations, and hiring new employees to work for me. I know I'm only Nineteen, but my dad helped me with my dream before he...

Well, yeah.

I finish walking down the stairs, and pull the lampshade down after turning the lamp on. I look around at the two-bedroom, worn-down home of mine in the basement of the Cafe. I have a bed with sheets, like, twelve pillows, and the personal belongings that I was able to keep. I have some pictures of my past friends, and my family; my little brothers, my older brother, my mother, and my father. My best friends over the years.

I have several photo albums full of friends and family. I keep them on the one shelf I have in my room. My closet is so amall that I can only put a few clothes in it. My closet is full of clothing, and boxes of clothes surround it. Pretty much everything is still in boxes, and they're going to stay that way. I simply don't have the room. But my spare room is full of boxes, with a couple of extra mattresses I picked up for whoever stays there.

This is definitely not the way I pictured my dream coming true... But you have to start from the bottom to get to the top...

Right?
