(A/N I made this thingy on the top/side!!! So i picture Lacey as Maia Mitchell)

LACEY'S POV:

"H-help me!" I screamed.

A sigh escaped me as I felt a pair of cold hands grip my forearm and quickly pull me up.

I staggered back as the person pulled me up.

I automatically turned towards the opposite side of the crack, only to not see Luke, but fog.

Tears pricked my eyes; how am I going to get to him?

Will I see him again?

We're no longer together, but split.

My mind raced, memories of us flooding through my mind.

~Flashbacks in italics~

"Luke, what's your life goal?"

"Well, I really want to see a penguin."

"Seriously though."

"I have more than one goal."

"Why more than one?"

"I want to accomplish a lot during the time I get to spend here."

"You never answered my question."

"I have several goals I want to complete, Apple."

"Like?"

"I want to...I want to bring back music, I want to share this-this passion, love, and desire I have for instruments and singing with everybody. Though there isn't much people out there who will hear my voice, I believe I can accomplish something in the music category. I want to have kids, I want to have a partner that I'll spend my short eternity with in this world. I want to see a penguin. And I want to be happy again. Oh and did I mention; I want to see a penguin."

"You're not happy?."

"I-I'm getting there. It's just a phase; sadness doesn't last forever."

"If sadness doesn't last forever, then neither does happiness."

"The temporary feelings we as humans feel are what define our humanity and personalities. Without feelings we're nothing."

"Sometimes feelings make us nothing."

"Feelings make us everything; who we a-are, who we will be, how we act."

"Well, do you know what makes us-"

"W-what's your l-life goal?"

"To feel love."

"You've never felt love?"

"Does my love for food count?"

"I'd say so."

A tear dripped down my chin as he raced through my mind.

"Why are you depressed?" I ask Luke as he fiddled with my fingers, I was half asleep.

"I'm just extremely sad," he whispered.

"Exactly," I say quietly, snuggling closer to him, sharing our body warmth.

"I'll be fine as long as I'm with you."

I smiled.

I dropped to my knees, feeling a pang in my chest at the thought of never seeing him again.

My fingers lightly trailed over the scars on his wrist and arm.

"Don't touch them," he whispered.

"Why not?" I asked, fingers still tracing the scars.

"I hate my imperfections," he said quietly, grabbing my wrist and stopping my hand from touching him.

"Imperfections are what makes us unique, even if they are scars."

He sucked in a breath as I put a hand under his shirt to feel the - what seemed to be recent - cuts on his stomach.

"I'll never see him again!" I yelled, pulling at my hair.

"How are imperfections unique?" Luke asked, breathing unsteady as my hands roamed his toned, scarred stomach.

"You see Luke," I paused. "Imperfections exist to keep us from reaching the peak of perfection."

"No one is close to perfection though," he interrupted me.

"But that's exactly it. It reminds us of how no one is truly perfect, no one will ever reach the peak of perfection. Imperfections remind us that we are us, and to cherish the fact that we are who we are; not perfect, but human and there."

"Lacey?" I hear a voice whisper from behind me.

"You've reached the climax of the peak of perfection," Luke whispered, caressing my cheek lightly.

"You're greater than perfect; you're you," I said, kissing his hand lightly.

I slowly turn around.

"Nothing gets better than you," I said quietly, taking Luke's hand in mine and lacing our fingers together.

"Nathaniel?" I choke out, seeing the familiar being I thought I had dissed ages ago.
