"When do we become real?" Her voice was quiet, her eyes trained on something outside the car window as the red glow of the stoplight lit up her tanned skin just in the right way.
I looked at her, carefully trying to examine the water before I took a dive into such a load question. Yet the longer I stared at the perfect girl in front of me the longer I stumbled around my brain trying to find the right words to say.
"Can you make me feel real Ash, even if it's just for tonight?" Her head turned up slightly, her knees still tucked underneath her chin as her glossed over brown irises poured into my hazel ones with ease.
"I'll do anything for you sunflower, anything."
So I did the only thing I knew how to to make her feel real, as real as the sun in the sky and the grass on the ground, as real as the way I felt for her tonight and to the end of time.
I took her for a drive.

'I closed my eyes and tried to relax as the plane moved into action. We had a long flight and I had a feeling I wouldn’t be getting a lot of sleep these next couple of days. The plane’s engines picked up speed and one of the flight attendants voice rang out over the loudspeaker. “Please fasten your seat belts as we ascend into the sky for Sydney, Australia.” Wait a second… Weren’t we supposed to be going to New Zealand?
