"Don't make promises you can't keep," she closes her eyes, her head still on my shoulder as the sun sets, the waves of the ocean lapping against the shore.
"I promise you, I'm keeping this one," I tell her, pulling her closer to me. My arms wrap around her waist and I lay my head on hers.

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop.
There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair.
As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp.
The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside.
'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone.
It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual.
I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive.
The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid.
He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright.
He's hurt. Badly.
The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction.
All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face.
A deadly grin appears on his wicked face.
"Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear.
"And you brought the girl"
