Jack's POV

Since that kind of announcement Andrew made, the tension between Olivia and I is thick as cloud.

We left the restaurant almost twenty minutes ago. We are just walking around. But Andrew decided that he wants to go back to the home stay, so he'd go by himself. Leaving me with Olivia to deal it myself.

"Do you want to come over?" She broke the silence. Hope laced in her voice.

"Sure." I said in unsure.

This is not my choice, Oli.

"I'm going to show you something. I haven't been there often." The fact that she still can be excited in this situation is everything to me.

I smiled sadly. Savoring the moment of last. Now, everything is precious, worth every second of it.

"Take me, then." I said, just like I said on the previous days. When she took me to the abondened house and the undiscovered river.

I can see how sad she was when Andrew first stated we're going back, but she didn't said anything and just listened. How can I do this to her? She's so innocent.

"Let's go." She take my hand, entwine our hands together. We walked, I remember the way, the way that once I walked her home.

Olivia look straight front, her face showed smile and glowy. No need to question me anymore. I fell hard for her and I couldn't stop it.

Who in the world would smile and looked happy when they know what to come next is not exactly what they are expecting to be in the end. That is not me. But a girl like Olivia is rare. I'm sure every girls, most of them would already cry or clingy to the someone who will leave them.

Olivia is not most of the girls. She's just one girl that I adore so much. I adore her personality, I adore her smile, I adore her voice and most of all, I adore her so much. She found a place in my heart right away. Right when I first saw her. She mingled in my heart when there is thousands of other who wants my attention, but I give it all to her without her doing a thing.

We walk through the small wooden gate. We are now in her house area land. The land is huge, old fashioned, but feels so homey. We are walking to the other side of the house.

"Where are we going?" I ask as we keep on walking further. For the first time since we left the restaurant, she finally turned to look at me. We stopped walking.

It shocked me when she turn to face me. For the first time since we've met, she looked vulnerable. She let me see her worry.

I pull her in my arms. All I want is to wash away her worryness. She have nothing to worry about. Let it be on me, put her worries on me. I'll take care of it just fine. I hug her tight, inhale her hair scent.

"We are gonna be okay, I promise." I whispers, not from my heart. I say it not just for her to believe me and myself too. How can I promise something that I'm not sure about?

I pulled away, facing her to me so I could see her face. "Are you okay now?" I looked through her blue eyes. The worry look start to faded.

She nods slowly.

"Are you still going to take me?" I put my hands on her shoulders and smile widely. I give her shoulders a gentle squeeze.

"Yeah." She said with a nod. I make the first move. I offer her my hand. With this hand, she can take me anywhere she wants and she doesn't need to ask me first. Take me and I'll be there with her along the way.

She gladly take it. We continue to walk. I'm not scared where she is taking me. But I'm nervous where it will lead.

We walked until I saw a middle size pond. It's not exactly round, but it is round shape and there is a line to the back like a tail. On that tail, there is a small bridge to cross the pond to the other side. It's beautiful. It has flowers planted around the pond. She always have something to mesmerized me, everytime.

"This is beautiful, Oli." I said, looking around the pond. Her life is a living fairytale. She have everything a child could ever asked for.

"I know. I want to show you this before you leave. I like spending time on the bridge to write a note or to write anything in my mind. It's so peaceful and calming to my brain." Oh, I almost burst in tears. This woman doesn't know what she did to me.

"Let's sit on the bridge. Don't dip your feet in the water, it's cold." I nodded. She is seriously going to make me cry.

We sit face to face, a little space between us, our legs crossed. We look into each other eyes, it feels absolutely intense. I take a brave move, taking her hands in mine, resting them on my thighs.

She look away. But I need to see those beautiful blue eyes for the last time. It feels like a break up with my long time girlfriend which in fact she is just someone I met a few days ago.

"Hey." I let go her right hand and bring my hand up to her chin. Then I turned her head to face me again. To my surprise, her eyes is glossy. Once she focus on me, I start to talk.

"It's hard for me as it's hard for you. I enjoy your company so much, you don't even know. In these few days we've spending together, I get to know you more than how you look. I like you, all of you. Looking at you for the first time is like I have found my other, you are like a magnet that I can't resist. I love your attention, I love it when you looked at me." I look deep into her eyes. While looking at them, I seek something. But I only found sadness.

"I'm loosing into you. I don't want to make this as the last time we see each other. I know I'll get busy once I left here, you probably will too. But I will make time to keep in touch with you and I'm expecting for you too." I said in hoping, squeezing her hands firmly.

She jumped to me, taking me by surprise. Wrapping her hands around my neck. I slowly but surely, start to wrapped my hands around her. I rubbed her back softly. I sigh in relieve. I'm not letting her go, she's too special and precious to me. She fitted just fine in my arms.

I felt in bliss.

"Letting go is hard. But if it's mean good for the both sides, it will feels even."
