Red

Chapter Sixteen

*Ivy's POV*

I was running threw the forest, feeling the wind rush past my face and threw my hair. I alway enjoyed running, it was a freeing feeling, the sun had set about an hour ago.

I ran in circles and zig zag patterns to throw them off a bit, then headed to the one place that made me happy, the lake.

I reached the lake before they did, oh but of course I did. They didnt know where I was heading, I laughed to myself.

It was beautiful, the moon had started to come up, its reflection in the lake made it even more beautiful. Its my favorite place to come when I get mad or sad or lonely or just need some time to myself. I guess you could call it my happy place.

The lake was big but not that big. It had a rock formation in the center of it, and mountains off to the left side. On the other side was a cliff that had a medium/ small waterfall, which had a hidden cove that was the size of a small bedroom.

when the moon is full in the sky it makes the lake glow a light blue color, and when the sun is up it makes the waterfall look like its on fire. It always takes my breath away, because of how beautiful it is.

Nobody knows of this place besides Ryan, and I haven't told anyone of this place. For a few reasons.

One, it was my happy place, its where I would go to make my self happy again.

Two, I could sing without being judged, only Ryan has hurd me sing, and I liked it that way. Im not saying I have a bad voice, actually its the opposite. I have a beautiful voice, I just dont like to sing infront of people.

Third reason is because I can almost feel my parents here. Its like they're right there with me, when I close my eyes I can feel there arms around me. I know it sounds silly but its true.

Fourth reason, is because, well I dont like sharing.

I stripped down to my bra and panties and jumped in. It was cold as hell, like it always was, I had goosebumps, and shivered a bit, but then I got use to it. I swam to the rocks and climbed up, and sat at the top.

I liked to sit at the top and spend my time there. It was like no one could touch me when I was there. Like I said my happy place, it was where I could forget everything.

I was waiting for my mates to catch up. As I was sitting there I was sitting with my legs off to the side of me, and half of my wet hair fell down my back while the other half was in front of me. I was running my fingers threw it, and I was looking at the full moon.

I started to smile, and the world started to disappear around me, like it always did. I was blocking everything out.

I could hear the music start to play in my head. I started to hum the tune, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then began to sing aloud.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you,
I love the things that you do
