"Harper hurry up! We're going to miss it!"
I look at myself one last time in the mirror. God, he's going to drive me crazy. I smile as my hand finds the bathroom door knob. As I pull the door open I find Lincoln with his hand balled up in a fist and up by his head getting ready to knock on the door again.
"Impatient much." I smirked at Lincoln as his cheeks start to turn pink at being caught and he pulls his arm down. As fast as the pink on his cheeks came, it disappears. He stands up straighter and grabs my hand, "Come on Harper stop wasting time."
When we walk into the living room I reach down to pet Max, Lincoln's dog, and as I stand back up I look up at Lincoln, only to find his hands on his hips and an annoyed expression on his face.
I put a shocked expression on my face, "Shoot me why don't you? I was just petting him." I stated pointing at Max who was sitting down at my feet.
I noticed the corners of his mouth starting to twitch up into a smile and then he shakes his head and motions for me to grab the bags.
Lincoln holds the front door open for me as I dash to the car to turn the radio station to something I liked before he could get a hold of it.
We pulled up to the opening route to the mountain and Lincoln parks his truck. When we get out I rush over to the tree stump we were at last time and grab the sunglasses I left last week.
"Ahhhh I told you they would still be here!" I yelled over to Lincoln as he grabs our bags out the back of the truck. He just smiles at me and laughs, Oh how much I love his laugh.
I reach out to him for my bag and we start our usual path up the mountain.
We were silent most of the way up but I didn't mind. I love when we do this. It gives me time to think. Think about me, about Lincoln, about life.
I look up at the sky and smile, at the edge of a cloud the sun sat, making the small corner of the cloud clearly visible, however the rest was dove grey with a hint of purple and pink, just enough to announce the upcoming sunset. Other clouds were splattered across the sky and lazily drifting from place to place. As I was getting lost in admiring the sky Lincoln bumped into my side. I looked at him to see a smile across his face and his hands stuffed in his pockets.
"What?", I smiled
He shook his head, "Harper, I love you."

I laid in my bed facing the red wall in my room, the blankets were pulled up to my neck and the tears were falling from my eyes effortlessly. I couldn't stop. Thirty minutes of this and I still couldn't stop.
I hiccup and then reach for my phone on the stand next to my bed. I search for Lincoln's number in my phone and I hold it up to my ear as I listen to it ring.
"Hey baby!, Whats up?", His voice is calm and he has a happy tone to it, this making me cry more.
"Uh, Come over?" I squeak out.
"Woah, Woah, Harper are you okay?", his voice gets panicky and I hear him moving around, most likely looking for his keys.
"Mom.", Is all I said and then I heard a loud thud of a door shutting and a faint "On my way.", before the phone clicked off.
I had my eyes closed when I felt my bed dip and heard Lincoln say baby.
We laid in my bed for a couple of hours, him calming me down and us talking about what happened, dogs, ice cream, and his little brother.
After I got done laughing about him telling me how Max ran outside in the rain today and how Lincoln had to cram his feet into my rain boots I left at his house and run after Max, I looked at lincoln and he was smiling at me. I began to smile back and he pushed a hair behind my ear.
"Are you okay now?"
My smile dropped and worry began to spread across my face, "Yes but your not leaving yet, are you?"
He moved his hand to behind my head and pulled me in for a kiss. When we pulled apart his green eyes met mine and his lips spread apart.
"Never, I promise."

The flashbacks stopped as I opened my eyes and I looked around at the same red wall, I was under the same blanket, and once again the tears were falling out effortlessly. Only this time I couldn't call you. I couldn't cry to you, because this time your the reason I'm crying.
Newsflash you broke your promise.
