I walked the mile walk and came to my beautiful clearing meadow. I walked to my willow tree and saw the pups playing with a bone. I smiled and walked over to the willow by the pond. I took out the hammock and hung it between the two willow trees. It was high enough so the pups couldn't get to it, I hopped up and laid on the hammock. I smiled and ate a few cherries. The pups looked at me and then went back to playing. I laid there all day just listening to the sounds of the birds and the sounds of the wind playing it's music.

I looked over and the foxes were going into the woods, probably going to teach their pups how to hunt. I looked over at the end of the meadow and saw Hunter and brandon watching me. I smiled and laid my head back down. I hummed and waved my finger to the rhythm. I put the song on and singed along. Brandon and Hunter were still standing there watching me. I couldn't see there face but I knew they were smiling.

I hummed and Singed along, "now pleassseee don't go!" I said singing along. I watched in the coroner of my eye as brandon tried to walk past the line of trees but Hunter grabbed his shoulder and brandon Turned to him. He said something then hugged Hunter.
I watched as they looked at me one last time then walked off into the forest to their house.

I sighed but saw the pups come out with a mouse in their jaws, their heads held high, I smiled and barked happily, they yipped with joy. I smiled and they went to there den with there parents. I watched as the sun setted and the stars came out. I smiled, i always smile now, now that I'm by my mother's spirit I can be free, these trees are spirited, magical.

Only I can here then whisper to me. And it makes my life light up. I may look lonely but I wasn't, being one with nature just felt so natural.

I yawned and out the hammock up higher away from the foxes, I climbed up my ladder and fell into a deep sleep.

I sighed as me and Hunter watched hazel lay in a hammock between two of the willow trees and sing loudly. I started to walk into the meadow but Hunter pulled me back.
"Just leave her be, see seems way happier alone." Hunter sighed sadly. "But I'm not." I said looking at him. I hugged him and we looked one last time at hazel and we walked back.

I sat on my bed thinking of hazel, sleeping with her in my arms, safe and sound. But maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Days turned into a mouth, Summer was right around the corner. The summer flowers were starting to bloom in the meadow. The willows were still pink with pretty blossoms, I made a flower crown out of their blossoms. Brandon and sometimes Hunter would always watch me having a blast. I could tell they were having a hard time to stay there distance.
I sighed and played on my hover board. The pups were starting to lose there fluffy fur and they were getting bigger, they are like my friends, sometimes they snuggle next to me and stare into the sky. The parents don't mind me at all any more. It's like they want me to play with their her pups.

I watched as they all went into the forest to hunt there meals. I played on my hover board and rolled around. I fell down laughing, I still haven't mastered it yet but I was close.
I giggled as I rolled around in the flowers and grass. The mouth was now April, when it rains I ran around in the meadow and let the water run down my face. Soaking me.

I laid in the grass with my eyes closed giggling, I smiled and laid on my back. Letting the sun tan me. I looked and saw brandon in his usual spot. Stalking me.

"hey stop stalking me!" I laughed. He came closer but stopped himself. "Come on!" I yelled sitting on my knees. He started running over to me at full speed. He landed on top on top of me laughing and hugging me tightly. "I missed you." I wispered. "Eh, I kinda missed you." I said laughing. He rolled off of me and laid next to me. "I can see why you like it here." He said looking over at me. "It's so peaceful, no people walking around, no crying babies." I said smiling. "But I still wish you came home." He said sadly. "I'm sorry, but I'm staying in the willow trees." I said looking at him. "Your the willow tree girl." He said smiling. "The Broken Willow tree girl." I said smiling. "How are you broken?" He asked.

"Well, I'm still broken inside, those willow trees healed me, I'm so happy I forgot I even lived in a house." I said looking at him. "But your mine broken willow tree girl." He said kissing me. I kissed back and pulled away. "I love you." He said cuddling with me.
"I love you to Brandon." I said smiling. "Well, I have to get back home before my mom finds out I'm missing." He laughed and hugged me. He waved and I watched as he walked Into the forest. "I love that boy."

Seasons passed, Brandon and Hunter came almost everyday after that day, but then they slowly stopped coming one day, it had been almost 2 years after that day, i was turning 17 soon, I looked out my window everyday for him, but he never came.

On the day of my 17th birthday I walked to Brandon's house. I didn't even care if Christine saw me. I walked in the house and Ashton screamed and hugged me. He was now 13, Hunter was 18, and Brandon was gonna be turning 17 soon, Christine walked down and dropped her glass. "Hazel?" She said shocked. I nodded and smiled. She hugged me so hard. I was taller then her, maybe by in inch. "Where have you been!" She asked me. "That's a secret." I said smiling. "The boys have went into the forest some times even looking happy, Brandon has been so happy lately." She said smiling. "Well where is he?" I asked smiling. "In his room with Hunter." She smiled I ran upstairs with Ashton. "THE BROKEN WILLOW TREE GIRL IS HOME!" I yelled and burst through the door with Ashton laughing. "HAZEL!" Hunter yelled and jumped on me hugging me to death. "Clam down big boy." I said laughing. "Hazel!" Brandon said smiling. "Why have you guys stopped visiting me?" I asked sadly. "My mom caught us." He laughed. "Well she technically squashed my guts out." I said laughing.

"I love you willow tree." He said smiling and kissed me. "Maybe you can even move in." I said smirking. "Really?" He asked with the biggest smile. I nodded and he hugged me.
"Omg my wishes came true." He said kissing me. He pulled away and ran downstairs, probably to ask his mom if he could move in with me. He came back up with an even bigger smile. "Well? Lets get me packed!" He cheered. He waved to Hunter and Ashton as me and him carried some of his clothes his backpack, a blanket, his phone, charger, and some other things. "Now I don't have to stalk you." He said smirking. "True." I said nodding. I looked at the hole where the foxes used to live, they moved out last year.

We climbed up my ladder/stairs and he placed his things on the floor. "Wow, it hasn't changed." He said laughing. "Um hmm." I said and jumped on my blankets.
He smiled and cuddled next to me. "Love you my little willow tree." He said kissing my cheek. I smiled and cuddled into his chest.
