-THIS IS A SHORT STORY-
Eden was the popular kid at school, he associated with all groups of people. To others, he always seemed happy. To himself, he was struggling. He dressed in jeans, a nice shirt, and some sort of jacket every day, and wore his angelic smile so no one would see his pain. His dark brown hair, and bright green eyes seemed to instantly brighten peoples days. He played an active role in afterschool activities, and had work most nights. He kept his life busy so that he didn't have to spend any time at home. His parents were separated, with his dad walking out early in his life, then now trying to be a parent again, his mom a hover parent. Home life was exceptional, but not ideal. He kept upbeat and energetic, so everyone he had an interaction with had at least one positive thing in their life. Though slowly it was wearing him down. His social life was almost nonexistent outside of school. His bright green eyes were hopeful for what was to come in the future. He had planned out his life, hopeful for a successful job, a family, and a happy life.
Iris was a quiet, more to herself person. She didn't really associate with people much. Her dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes intrigued men. She doesn't enjoy talking to people, or just enjoy people in general. She was just skimming by, trying to get by without causing too much trouble. She never really thought about settling down. She knew she wanted kids, but her parents weren't great at showing her how great love is, so she just messed around with guys, never getting into a real relationship.
One day, things get a little too crazy. Words are exchanged, feelings get involved, and with just two words.. Everything changed.
Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in.
When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it?

"You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears.
I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips.
