I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't understand it yourself.

"So you kiss me and then you take me to the park you used to with your ex boyfriend?" Ryan asked confused as I explained to him that I found the park with Dallas.

"I wish" I said with a chuckle, "but there's something else that I found here that no one else knows about, come on" I took his hand and tugged him towards the back of the park which was full of trees.

At the end of the small and narrow trail was a river flowing and a small wooden dock just at bay.

"Nobody knows about this?" he asked me as he smiled at the view of the stars reflecting on the clear surface of the water.

"Just the two of us" I said smiling reassuringly, "and well probably the person who bulit the small dock there but other than that I'm sure nobody else knows" I said reassuringly.

"Why'd you decide to show me your secret hideout?" he asked his green eyes gazing intensely into mine.

"Cause, cause I felt like" I replied unsure.

"Come on here," he said taking my hands as I tried to walk with my heels which just made me end up with my ass on the ground.

Ryan laughed at my state before giving me his hand and helping me up. "Give me your shoes" he said.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Just be obedient Stone" he said monotonously.

"Fine" I said smiling as I took off my heels and gave them to him.

Catching them in one hand, his left hand swiftly went under my legs and his right behind my back before he hoisted me into the air carrying me bridal style. I squealed as I caught onto his neck as he walked towars the dock.

As we reached he placed me down gently at the edge so that my feet were touching the cool water as he took off his shoes and socks before sticking his feet into the water next to me.

"How'd you find this kind of a place in Boston?" he asked silently.

"After everything that went down with Dallas and Reyna I was loosing a bit of my sanity everyday, so during the day I would somehow find myself at the park, since that's where it all started. Reyna, Dallas and I used to meet out here all the time" I spoke looking down at the water rippling around my feet.

"One day as I sat at the park I saw the Dallas enter with Reyna and I didn't want to face them so I decided to hide behind the big tree in the corner but as I continued to tread the path I found this. This place was the only place I felt safe, I felt free" I said smiling slightly.

"What happened?" he asked pushing himself closer to me.
"What happened to you?" he asked me as I felt the pit of my stomach grow larger and a tear glistened behind my eyelid.
