Wren's P.O.V

I give Y/N a big squeeze and feel my heartache. "Promise you'll come visit me? You're literally all I have left." She says and pulls away from our hug. I look down at her and smile warmly. "Of course. I wouldn't leave you all alone in a place like this. Maybe I'll come see you once every month?" She seems to be holding back her tears. "Hey..it's going to be okay. This is way better than going into foster care and you don't have to worry about nobody but yourself. Plus coming up here to see you and make sure you're okay is well worth the drive." I try to assure her and I place my hand on her shoulder. She wipes away a tear. "Thank you for being here for me Wren. If it wasn't for you I don't know where I'd be..I mean, you literally bought this house just for me and you helped me pack and unpack..and you've done everything for me and have always been here for since I was born, it's such a shame things turned out this way.." She hangs her head. I pull her into another hug and pat her back softly. "It's not a problem Y/N....I have to go now. It's noon and it will take me a while to get back home." I say and part the hug. She nods her head. "I love you." She says. "I love you too Y/N. See you next month, remember you can always text or call me." I remind her. "Alright.." She sighs. I climb up into the U-Haul, start it up, and back out of the driveway. I wave goodbye to her before heading back home.

Y/N's P.O.V

I watch as Wren drives off and I sniffle as I hold back my emotions. I breathe deeply and try to calm down. 'Maybe a nice walk will do me good. I'm kind of just standing here in front of my house awkwardly.' I think to myself as I nod in approval.

I found a near by nature trail. According to the public map it extends for quiet a while and there is a bunch of intricate trails that lead off in different directions. My thoughts were interrupted by two strangers walking up to the map to study it as well. I look over at them and they seem to notice me staring. I continue to figure out the map, unfocused on the strangers. It seems that the trails are mainly forested but there is one that goes to a small pond and another one that leads to and through a meadow. 'Neato!' I think to myself as I try to decide which one to take. I was once again distracted by the two beside me. The taller stranger traced his finger along the trail showing the other one what they were talking about. "So if we go that way we should get about a 3 hour walk total from the trail." Said the taller man. The shorter man looked over at me and I looked away, starting to awkwardly walk off onto the start of the main trail. The taller one said something to the shorter one and I couldn't really hear as I was distancing myself from them. As soon as I was out of sight and out of mind I exhaled loudly as if I'd been holding my breath forever. "God, why am I so damn socially awkward..." I mumbled to myself as take a break on a near by resting bench. 'It could've been my chance to make friends..' I think as I look around for any indication to where I am. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. Everything was sort of rushed and pressured. There was a near by sign that pointed to which direction the pond was. I guess I already made up my mind seeing as I was already walking along the trail that led to the pond.

As I finally approached the pond I expected to see other people or perhaps families that had come their to enjoy their time. But I had found no one. It was completely lifeless. I figured it odd. I'd think more people would venture out onto the trail. I guess not. But it works out for me. I like being isolated, I'm not really good with people. I walk along the edge of the pond, peacefully listening to the sounds of nature. The flock of birds, flying over head, the sound of their wings flapping through the wind. The water, softly lapping, and the grass, rustling as a result of the soft breeze upon the air. "Maybe it won't be as bad as I thought, I can get past this.." I mumble contentedly to myself as I find a large flat rock near by. I wander over to it and sit down on the edge, swinging my legs slightly. I lean back on my arms and watch the pond water with interest. I breathe deeply just enjoying my time alone in peace.

Vinny's P.O.V

I glance over at Evan as we're walking along the trail that leads through the forest. "What's up with you staring at that girl earlier?" I question Evan, intrigued. Evan seems to hesitate for a moment. "She was staring at us Vin, what was I supposed to do? Look away like there isn't some stranger looking odd at us? I got distracted okay? Jeez..." Evan says in a sort of defensive manner. I put my hands up in the air. "Dude, chill I was just asking a question." I say and question Evan mentally. He's been so sensitive and easily set off lately. I haven't had a chance to confront him yet. I don't think right now is the time. "I mean I guess she was kind of cute but she looked young dude. Might be illegal." I say and give a small laugh trying to lighten the mood by joking around. Evan looks over at me, making direct eye contact. "Well, maybe I should give it a shot, and if she is below 16 then it is illegal. If she is over 16 it's not." Evan shrugs. I look at our surroundings and try to enjoy the walk. It's a 3 hour walk so might as well relax. "I mean it's better than trying to date with girls my age because their all looking for a tall, handsome man. I may not be tall, but in my opinion I think I'm pretty damn handsome, ain't that right Vin?" As I turn my attention back to Evan he gives me a toothy grin and I laugh, smiling with delight at his change in attitude. "You know it bud." I agree.
