There Once Was

6. six years later

"Where would I be without you" I looked at the girl I had spent six years of my life with. Her hair was still the fiery hit red it had been since the day I met her. And her eyes still shined like green gems in a bright shallow ocean, and with time she had grown the courage to roll up her sleeves during the summer. And she was here with me, laying on the beach in the middle of the night admiring how the ocean reflected and shattered the moonlight and scattered it against the fish, and the sand, and the trees all around and making it seem like the world was at peace. And this girl next to me, Jessica hernandez, she is my life, and has saved me more times than I can count. And just then brining me back into this world, was a light kiss on my cheek and the words
"babe, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about you" this seemed to be an interesting to her because she turned over onto her stomach and with her elbows on the ground and her head resting lightly in her hands.
"What about me?" She asked with a light hint of mockery
"About how we met."
"I never did ask you your side of the story."
I thought about it, and started to talk about how I saw her, the girl with the music, the girl with the long sleeved shirt, and the girl that would later steal my heart.
