How was he going to tell her that the man she was marrying was a horrible person. There was no way of telling her with her thinking he was jealous. There was only one thing he could do, trust her decision to marry that awful man and hope that she realized what a horrible man he was.

He walked across the mossy grass to the circle in the woodland and without fail there she was, tending to her flowers, her hair swept behind her ear, as it flowed down her slim porcelain back and her eyes where as blue as the sky, but this time they were droopy and red. She was crying again, but this time it was a cry of true sadness. She looked at him with a deep longing
"Sit down." she said. He sat while biting his lip, trying to work out what was wrong. Then she carried on
"my mother thinks it's time to grow up, I have to tell her the person who I want to marry or I have to marry Philip. Do you know what I should do?" A hope came tumbling through her voice, but once again he couldn't get the courage to say what he badly wanted to say to her. Instead of continuing to cry over marrying Philip, this time she got up, dusted herself off  and put on on a fake smile one last tear
"I love you Ashton, more than anything in this world, i love the way this circle is the two of us as one and I love the way you look at me, like im the greatest person who you have ever met, I even love the way you challenge everything I say but... I sit and wait everyday for you to say what I think I can see in your face when you look at me and i prey oneday you will but I know now you dont and you never will..." She explained. Then with a sniff she walked to the edge of the circle, wiped away one last tear falling from her eyes, and left an echo of "Good bye." to fly past his ears as she disappeared into the lively trees that lurked in the forest.
