so this is going to happen when Sarah and holland were younger, like 10 years before they actually got together.


"oh god this is horrible", Sarah said sitting cross legged on the edge of the hotel bed

"just simply devastating", I replied coming up behind her placing my arm around her

Sarah and I were having a couple weeks together on holiday and when we turned on the news in the morning, destruction was plastered across the screen.

"we should do something", Sarah said resting her head on my shoulder

"I don't think is there is much that we can do"

"holland thousands of peoples homes were destroyed and people have been killed we have to do something"

I looked at her

"what ideas do you have in that incredible little brain of yours?"

"maybe we should go down there? donate? I don't know"

"you want to go down, and do what? darling, I'm not trying to sound mean, I am just as upset about this as you, but it might be dangerous"

"well I can't just sit here. I'm going", Sarah said standing up and getting her bag "are you coming or not?"

"of course I'm coming"

"Sarah don't look", I pulled her closer to me, trying not to let her see a couple of badly wounded people receiving medical assistance

"I can't believe this", Sarah had her head in my neck, trying not to let her emotions take over. we still had everything, these people didn't

we walked over to these people with assistance jackets on

"is there anything we can do to help?"

"are you sure?", the woman said in disbelief

"please"

"there is a building around that corner where the children are being kept until we can find their parents, they need people to keep them entertained and calm. It would mean the world to those kids....and their parents"

"thank you", Sarah said taking my hand and pulling me protectively down the street

Sarah and I walked into the doors of the building, there were about thirty children there, some of them wounded, most of them crying

"oh holland", Sarah whispered, squeezing my hand

"are you two here to help", interrupted a man

"wherever we can", I stated

"just open the child lock gate over there and just try to keep their minds of everything, you two have no idea how much this will help....sorry I have to get that", the man walked off franticly talking to someone on the phone

Sarah and I had been here for about five hours, talking to the kids, playing with them, and getting them fed.

thankfully most of the kids found their parents and had left.

I was reading to these four boys when Sarah caught my attention, I mean she always does, but this was different

she rocking this little girl back and fourth in her arms as she slept, Sarah was beaming down at her.

a few hours later it was just me and this one boy, Sarah still in the corner with the little girl her arms
