The wind picked up its natural flow allowing the crisp air to guide the golden flowers into a slow dance along with the tide's low array beneath the sea. Waves crashing ever so often as the main attraction took place amongst the hills that could roar for days. Summer upon the natural array of the air and the transition from cold to warm had taken its alternative form within the depths of the atmosphere. This was her safe place, this was apart of her home and when things got the slightest bit disarray in the depths of society in which cracks had scathed the pavements she walked on this was the place she knew she could turn to. This was and would always be apart of her home no matter where she ended up or where she wanted to be, in her heart bounded by the nature's hug of warmth and relief this was apart of her home. However, it wasn't complete and it wouldn't be complete until the last piece had finished the puzzle and everything had reached alignment. Of course the last piece would be someone she cared about and trusted more than anyone this world ever held, locating him was the toughest part of the journey.~

"I thought I'd find you here blondie" jack smiled, walking through the coarse grass while grabbing her shoulders.

"Ahh! Shit! Jack what the fuck?!" ayla yelled as she pushes him.

"What?! I thought I'd surprise you considering our last day of classes is tomorrow!" he giggled, sitting down next to her.

"First of all, not cool at all I could've died! And second of all, hoorah very fun and exciting!" she sighed, looking over at him.

"Could've died?! how? by rolling down the hill and plummeting to some soft sand?!" jack laughed.

"Jack.." she sighed, looking ahead.

"Woah woah woah, last time I checked I got you chocolates like a week ago..what's up?" he looked over at her.

"Nothing..let's just enjoy the sunset" she shook her head as he grabbed her hand.

"Your problems are my problems and your concerns are definitely my concerns..we work through it together..always and forever" he whispered.

"Jack I don't expect you to be here every time things get rough or I'm confused about things that's not your job.." she whispered, looking over at her.

"I know it's not my job but I promised to be by your side no matter what and that was a promised I made from the beginning. You don't have to hide anything from me, trust me I'm here to help you" he shook his head, turning towards her.

"You can't be here for me forever jack that's not how life works" she sighed, looking down.

"That's how life can work if you let me. I will always be by your side no matter what-" he looked at her.

"No! No you can't ok? I'm planning on going to Berklee so no you can't be by my side twenty four-seven and no you can't be at my beckon call because jack it's physically impossible for you to be considering the college is all the way in Boston ok? So if anything you should just back away because it would make things easier for the both of us!" she yelled, holding back some tears.

"Ayla.." he whispered, shaking his head.

"Can we just not talk about it please.. I didn't come up here for more pressure" she sighed, looking out at the sunset.
