"I- I'm so sorry for running away from you, I didn't mean to, I just got scared, I don't know how to handle these type of situations and with Jasper showing up, it overwhelmed me even more and makes things so much more complicated now, and confusing," I explain and continue to sob into his chest. I don't know how long we stay like this, sometimes I forget about moments like these, before he finally pulls away.
He looks me im my eyes, "You see the moon?" he asks looking up into the sky, " The moon, it looks so beautiful, showering us in its marvelous light, it has flaws, many, but yet I couldn't help but see it as anymore perfect than it really is. It shines and radiates so brightly, and without it we - I - would die, it has always been there, but yet, we never seemed to have noticed it until it was shining, almost blinding in front of us, lending us the light we need to find our way, ourselves, and now- now that I've gotten a taste of it and all of its glory, I want, no need more of it, but I just don't know how to, and it hurts, and is painful, but although it seems out of reach, its actually a lot closer than I thought it was- and that itself, makes me yearn to have it- to claim it as mine, even more."
And when I look up at him his eyes, he's looking directly at me, and I feel myself slipping away and I don't know what to do or feel except let someone be there to catch me when I won't be there or able to catch myself.
He leans in and kisses me, the kiss is so soft and slow that I can feel every inch of my body on fire and can't tell where his lips start and mine begin.
...
"There are three things I don't do" I told him with a blank face, without a single emotion to convey
"What are they?" He asked me looking straight in my eyes making me want to punch him right in the face.
"I don't smile, I don't cry and I don't care"
"Interesting" he smirked and I rolled my eyes at him. I stood up not wanting to have any more conversation with him but he held me back and I glared at him
"Let go"
"I'll make you do all three"
"What?"
"I'll make you cry, I'll make you care about someone and most important of all I'll make you smile"
"Don't you even dare" I warned him "try to make me smile"
