<< the hot air balloon >>

(jamesons pov)

I woke up before Avery on purpose, I wanted to get dressed and out of the house before her. I picked out one of her favorite dresses and laid it out on the bed next to her with a note saying "meet me outside, 10 am, love Jameson".

Slipping into my tuxedo, I looked down at her, god she was
beautiful. I snuck a kiss on her forehead and slipped out the door.

Oren was positioned at the door, as usual, I nodded and walked past him. I heard giggles from the room beside ours and peeked in the door. Xan and Max were laughing at a meme on her phone, when were they not?

Outside I saw a giant hot air balloon. I grinned and stepped inside it, half an hour later I saw Avery running towards me, her hair blew in the wind while her dress swayed like a princess.

she is a princess. Avery Kyle Grambs is the most beautiful princess to me. She laughed and jumped in my arms, I got major deja vu at that moment.

Over a year ago, on Avery's 18th birthday, I got her a ballgown and a hot air balloon, she had run into my arms the same way she just did. With the same smile that made me know, she was the one.

I held onto her for what felt like an eternity. She looked up at me with those addicting eyes that pulled me in every time. She ruffled her hands through my hair and pulled me in for a kiss.

Avery clutched onto my arm as I pulled on the rope, we lifted into the air looking out at the horizon. It was so peaceful and perfect, I almost forgot Oren was there.

"Jameson...?" I looked down at Avery and saw her shivering, I quickly slid off my tux jacket and placed it over her shoulders, she leaned into me, but I knew something was still wrong.

"Are you okay?" I asked, she looked up at me and nodded but I saw the pain in her eyes. Not emotional pain. Physical pain. I reached my hand out to hug her, but before I could, a gunshot erupted.

The next thing I saw was Avery, on the ground of the hot air balloon, she was clutching onto my hand for dear life. I didn't know why or how but, my arm was throbbing with pain.

I glanced upward and saw Oren holding his gun out, he was looking around for something or someone. He finally tucked his gun into its case and pulled on the rope, trying to get us down to the ground.

After 10 or so minutes we landed, I didn't know where we were or why my arm was throbbing. All I knew is it hurt too much to even crane my neck to see it.

My vision got blurry as people began to move around, Avery was crying, why the fuck was Avery crying? was she okay? I tried to get up to check on her, but Oren pushed me back down.

my eyes were opening and closing, but all I saw were men in blue, a truck, and blinding lights. I struggled to keep my eyes open but then, it all went black.
