It's beautiful

She says

as she

stands

in the middle of

trees after trees

The sunlights tips smother

the leaves

and the wind blows

kissing the plants just

so delectly

making them seem

as if they had a life of their own

And perhaps they do

It's also quiet

He adds,

standing

by her side

It's peaceful.

I like to come here when things

aren't as they're supposed to be

and just...

She finds herself nodding

knowing just what he means

She used to have a place like this

a place she could just go

and...be

A place

she didn't need to smile for anyone

A place

she didnt need to look over her shoulder

every other second

But then Dad found out

about the place

She closes her eyes

trying to take the image away of what happened when he found it

And when she opens them

He stands in front of her

Who did this to you?

He asks so softly

she barely hears his words

as he

-slowly-

reaches up to her face

And she steps back

so fast

she almost trips

and f

I wasn't going to hurt you.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't of-

He begins

Regret making his expression

No. I uh..I'm sorry. I have to go

She interupts

and leaves.

Just like that.
