All I've ever wanted was for someone to hold me and tell it would be okay;even if it wasn't or wouldn't be okay.

"Shh,"Alex said, voice a whisper."It's alright."He held me in his arms, murmuring awkward, but gentle words to me. My face was cut with fresh, wet, tears. My whole body shook and trembled as quiet sobs flooded out of my lips. Alex brushed some dark hair out of my tear-streaked face and continued to hold me. I felt vulnerable and small. What an odd feeling.

All I've ever wanted was for someone to hold me and tell me it would be okay;even if it wasn't or wouldn't be okay. 

As the small sobs slowed down, I turned my gaze down to the ground to ensure myself that no one was here in the park. I definitely did not want anyone else to see me cry like an infant. No. I wouldn't let anyone else see me cry. Never in a million years. Along with the sobs, the tears gradually began to stop. Relieved, I gingerly touched my cheeks to brush away any lingering tears.

"Awww, how darling is this!"A sweet, melodic voice cooed, the noise coming from the ground.

In a flash, I untangled myself from Alex's comforting hold, and swung myself onto the wood branch below the one I was sitting on, and climbed down the Oak Tree. After I was only a few feet off the earth, I just let go of the branches and jumped, landing on the dirt gracefully and glancing at our little spy.

She had beautiful, lovely eyes, the color of lavender and light, fine hair the color of chestnuts, that was curled elegantly at the tips. The aroma of lavender emitted off of the woman. She wore a simple white flowing shirt and casual jeans...

What a strange attire for the goddess of Love and Beauty.
