Across the atlantic ocean and high winds of the sea, Bruce sailed towards his homestead - Manchester, England. The Island was a low port surrounded by green forest and tall palm trees, their fronds a lush green coverings and that was left to the end and behind. Bruce with Dr. James sailing through the waves together and taking leads from time to time. Jane sat on a white pale couch at the corner of the ship, scrutinizing her wounds, humming to the whales and finally a brightness from her face. Bruce sat beside her with his right leg crossed on the couch, his hand laid across where Jane sat. 'Hey, Jane. I'm sorry for all, uh, um.. this. But we're all safe and that's what matters.' Bruce adds, sharing a smile to her and winking with a purpose of humour. Her eyes were set to wounds below her elbow as she patched them. 'Though, I'd say it was fun.
Riding along, You know, with you, Dan and the other guys. Um. Soooo! I'm starting to...' Before Bruce went on with his thoughts, Jane looked at him and shared a short and memorable kiss to him with her firm and red lips. She moved back, wiping away her tears. 'We couldn't have made it without you. Whether we got the gold or not.' Jane adds, her eyes become teared. 'But we're here. Don't be sorry because If it wasn't for this trip, we wouldn't have been together. It doesn't matter if it was dangerous. I love you, Bruce. I really, really, really do.' Bruce watches into her wolfy eyes, realizing that she hasn't took a break to breath and just said it rapidly. The next three words came out from Bruce's mouth weren't 'I am Sorry.' but, 'I love you.' and he raised his both hands and hugged Jane very tight as though he'd have missed her so much. Beside the sounds of the whales jumping up and down to the water and winding blowing through, there came a loud shout of shock from the dock. Bruce ran quick as of pursuit of a rabbit, Jane and Dr. James followed. As he slashed through the air and emerged from the door, Dan and Micheal stood across a bag filled with nothing other than a pile of golds. Yes. You've read it right. There was a bag full of actual gold, that shined with the thin sun. It was never mentioned by any of the people that even the boats on the Abott Island carries Gold. Though, the tales were true as a stone and Bruce wasn't just chasing down fairy tales. Later then, they reached the edge of the sea with an excite to lead a rich life. Bruce was glad and needed nothing more than Jane. When they reached the shores, the air was thick and fresh also didn't contain chemicals and it was home for all of them, back to the streets of England. Dogs laid beside the trash, people haggling with salesman and shores before the country. It were almost the dropping of the evening, the moon hid behind the clouds. Everyone agreed on the terms of Dr. James keeping the boat. 'So, you got everything?' Dr. James asked, lighting a cigerate with a lighter. 'Yeah, think so.' Bruce adds, zipping his backpack and getting back up to face Dr. James. 'Eh, feel free to sell anything I left behind.'  He points chuckling and Dr. James gives a respone with a smile on his wrinkly
cheecks and then asks 'You sure I can't give you a lift home?' moving aside to let the boat in clear sight of Bruce. 'After the last few days, I think I'd like a boat with drink service and reclining seats.' 'Plus, she and I have a lot to talk about.' Bruce explains, in reference to Jane as she stood past talking to Dan and Micheal. 'Okay. Take care, kid.' 'Thanks, James.' Bruce shares a hug with him and left towards Jane and the other two. He followed his eyes with the path and it led correctly. To Jane, Micheal and Dan. Bruce heard them talking to Jane and she had a joyful smile in her teethful mouth. He couldn't comprehend what they were saying then, but he was informed afterwards. 'It leaves little bunny surprises all over the headmaster's bed. It was a dis--' Bruce interrupts, catching enough to know what they were talking about. 'Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you telling her?' 'Just about your little 'magic' phase.' Jane replies, with a funny smile. Bruce looks over at Dan and indicates 'Oh, I hate you.' Bruce did not wanted to embarrass himself from his childhood but Dan forced him and he felt the need to when Jane asked. 'What was your stage name?' refering to the times when he played a role in an avenue in his high school years. 'Bruce the Great.' Everyone laughed and Bruce mentioned that it isn't considered funny and that it makes sense. 'Hey look, Guys, it has been an experience getting to meet you.' Jane expresses and raised her hand for Dan and Micheal to meet it. 'With a handshake?' Dan adds, 'Bring it in for the real thing, sister.' Each of the prevailed their hands and shared a warm hug. Jane clutched tightly to Bruce. 'God help her, She sure seems to love you.' Micheal humourized and as for his little gigs, that was considered funny and he didn't even meant it to. He just ranted it out as he does. Final occurances between them together were laughs, smiles and gigs mostly. Bruce held Jane's hand and got back in the backseat of Dan father's MUV, they drove past the country side to any particular place that felt home besides home itself. The engine roved, spread out gasoline and accelerated towards. Dan drove, Micheal sat to the next seat and Bruce with Jane sat back, wanting to spend most of the times chattering. 'Where are we going exactly?' Micheal asks, looking out the window and watching the countryline. Bruce first time in his life, he smiled about the always-coming infinite future stretching out before him. And they drove on. Jane turned to Bruce and said, 'You know, we could just keep going. We don't have to stop.' Micheal leaned forward between the seats and said, 'Yeah. Yeah. Let's just keep driving for a while.' Dan pressed down hard on the accelerator, and Bruce was thinking of all the places they might go, and all the days to have a new beggining. Beside him, Jane Grace's fingers were on his forearm, and she was saying, 'Yeah. God. We could, couldn't we? We could just keep going.' Bruce felt alive and new outcomes that were yet-to-come in his life. He thought, as thrilling as the next adventure might be, in the end.. you're always left with that same feeling-emptiness. Sometimes you just got to choose what you're going to keep and what you're going to let go.
