Gwen's pov!
I was in the car with my mother on the way from Church and I continued to stare out the window at the bunga passing by. "I'll be back soon from the grocery store,Gwen. don't get your dress dirty."My mother warned me with a glare that meant she wasn't playing. "Okay, mommy."I opened the door and hopped down onto the patches of fresh rumput with sand like colored dirt below my small sparkly blue shoes. I skipped over towards the tall oak pohon that held a ayunan on one of it's thick pohon trunks and sat upon it,grabbing onto the two ropes and began to kick my feet back and forth giggling as the wind gently kissed my face. I loved to come here everyday and ayunan for awhile seeing that every time I would ayunan so high I could see a bright red painted lumbung, gudang over the tall jagung stalks. I would also sometimes bring my journal along and draw whatever came in sight to me that looked beautiful. I wasn't all that great a drawer because I'm 6 after all, but my mommy says I'll become a professional artist one day. "Get out of my way."The grouchy bully that lives near the oak pohon pushed me out of the ayunan and I landed harshly into a puddle of mud. I gasped as I looked at my Church dress that was now covered in mud and I balled my fists over my eyes,starting to cry. "You big meanie, why did anda push her..?"Another voice came running up towards the person on the swingset. "It's because I can. do anda have a problem with that..?"He got off the ayunan and stood in front of the small boy who didn't look like he was afraid of him at all. "That isn't how anda treat a lady."His eyebrows seemed to dart down slightly and the taller person pushed him onto the ground. "You're such a nerd and a mama's boy, Trent."The person flicked his head and laughed hysterically before climbing onto his bike and driving off to his friends down the dirt hill. "Are anda alright..?"The bare footed kid walked over to me and grabbed onto my hand to pull me out of the mud. "My dress is ruined.."My eyes began to whelm with tears again. "Don't cry, I'll fix it."He soothed and ripped a piece of his kemeja off and wiped off the mud. "Thank you."I giggled and my cheeks got very warm. He gently took my hand in his and placed me back onto the swing,pushing me softly back and forth. "Push me higher Trent."I giggled as I kicked my feet and he started to push me higher. "Wanna play hop scotch..?"He stopped the movement of the ayunan to look at me with his cute grin. "What's that..?"I questioned before he held out his hand to help me down safely from the slightly high above ground ayunan and thanking him afterwards. "You've never played that before..? I'll teach you."He grabbed one of the fallen twigs that surrounded the ayunan and drew squares in the dirt. I brushed the hair from out of my eyes to look at the drawings he had made of confusion until he skipped across all of them. "Your turn."He gestured his hand at the squares still smiling. I copied what he had done and I ended up slamming into him and we both fell onto the grassy plain, starting to laugh. The lowering sunlight continued to sparkle through the many leaves upon the oak pohon and glistened on the waving tall grass. "Where are anda from..? I never seen anda around here."I sat up and brushed the leaves off my dress. "I live over those tall jagung stalks over there in the red barn."He smiled and helped me up from the ground. "Really..? I cinta the view of your home, it's so pretty."I laced my fingers together and giggled like the little child I am. "Maybe I could tampil you. follow me, um..."He trailed off kicking his feet in the dirt mumbling something under his breath. "I'm Gwen Stevens."I answered and he took my hand in his and pecked it softly with his warm lips. "Pleasure to meet you, Gwen. my name is Trent Jess."He bowed his head slightly and looked back up at me with a smile that seemed to never leave his face. Not letting go of my hand, he started to run off into the jagung stalks, pushing them out of the way so I could get through safely and were soon facing the tall barn. He opened the screen door that made a loud creek as it was being opened and hit up against the bright red wood with a quiet thump. I walked into the lumbung, gudang and there were binatang either sitting down and staring at me atau flying around and tweeting a melody. "You really cinta binatang I see.."I giggled as a little anak anjing, anjing snuggled up at my side and I brushed it's head with my hand followed oleh it's tongue slobbering on my hand. "That's Pete. and yes, myself and my family cinta animals."Trent handed Pete a bone to chew on. "Trent, is that you- who's your friend..?"A woman with her hair up in a rubber band and dress made of rags came in with another anak anjing, anjing who ran over and tackled Pete playfully. "Good morning mother. this is Gwen Stevens."he introduced me and his mother's smile faded a little when she saw the stains on my dress. "Would anda like me to clean that for anda dear..?"She smiled once more. "If anda don't mind.. but I don't have any clothing to change in to."I blushed and tried to hide it into the locks of my teal colored hair. "You may have one of Julie's dresses when she was young and she is in college so she wouldn't mind."She took out a black dress from in a closet and handed in to me to go change in the bathroom and give her my muddy dress. "Want an apple..?"Trent bit into a green apel, apple and grabbed another one out of a pail of water. We both went out to the back porch of his house to have a snack and I stared longingly at the small river they had back here. "Your halaman awal is amazing."I continued to admire the water flowing oleh and the vegetable gardens in neat rows of three beside ceri, cherry blossom trees. "Thanks Gwen."Trent threw the apel, apple core onto the fresh rumput and a bird picked it up with it's beak and flying back to it's young ones in it's nest to feed them. I scooted in beside him and leaned my head on his shoulder and listening to the birds sing causing my eyelids to flutter like api being put out. A loud gun shot was heard and the birds quickly flew off in fright screeching as they did. Trent stood up and looked around the corner of the barn, his eyes widening for what seems like fear and he started to cower back towards the back door. "What is it-."He cut me off and grabbed me oleh the wrist taking me back inside the lumbung, gudang and hiding under the table. "Where is your children..?"A man's voice cut through my ears like a pisau being sliced across skin. "I.. I don't know, I swear."It sounded like Trent's mother sobbing and then another gun shot went off silencing her crying. I could see that Trent's eyes were being filled with tears and he closed them placing his dirt coated hand over his eyes. "Sweet little kiddies, come out where ever anda are."The man stomped into the room with his black as a burned out candle wick boots and threw stuff around to look for us. Trent soon stopped tearing and looked at me with an expression in his eyes that read terrified and upset. "Search this entire place until anda find her children. if anda don't we'll just burn this piece of shit halaman awal to the ground."The man ordered to three other tall men in the room who had weapons on a sabuk around their waists. From outside I could hear people screaming and guns going off like crazy, glass shattering, and even lebih heavier weapons that made a loud sound and it was probably those tanks that are used in the military. "There anda are."One of the men grabbed me oleh the arm and yanked me out from under the table. I screamed in fright but Trent pulled me away from the blood shot eyed man and held me behind him in protection. "So anda want to be the first to go, eh..? whatever."The guy grabbed Trent oleh the kerah of his kemeja and pulled a pisau out from the sabuk holding it closely to his neck. I was going to fight back at the guy but someone grabbed me oleh the hair and I was now facing a man with only one eye and teeth pointy like a shark. "Hello sweetheart."The man chuckled and threw me into a sack on the side of the horse he was riding and the horse ran out of the house and back up the dirt road. I peeked out of the little opening and saw many of men dressed in the same uniform killing people with knives and guns. Trent ran out of the front of the lumbung, gudang and tripped onto the bloody rumput and a few of the same dressed men went over to him and started to beat him with the ends of the guns they had. I watched as he screamed in pain as they continued to beat him and I cried out his name causing the man with the one eye to pound his fist upon the sack to quiet me. I glanced out one last time at the beautiful red lumbung, gudang that was now burst into flames and it began to collapse. I fell back into the sack and curled up in a ball in fear and listened to the horse's hooves clack stomp onto the dirt road.
I wanted anda to know that I cinta the way anda laugh
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I opened my eyes to find myself snuggled up under a not so thick cover on the bottom of a bunk tempat tidur in a room full of three other bunk beds with teens who had wished they were loved oleh their past parents. I sat up and stretched my sore arms from working for the neighbors the other hari and got out my mirror to fix my hair. I lied back down and something crumpled under my bantal and I reached under and pulled out a wrinkly photograph of a boy who was leaning up against the bright red wood of a barn. Tears whelmed up in my eyes and I stuffed the picture into my sketchbook and stared up at the rough wood that held the tempat tidur above me. 'That kid is probably dead anyways..'I thought to myself, causing lebih tears to plummet from my eyes. It was my fault that he had gotten killed. If I would have went with my mother to the grocery store and not went to play he would still be alive. "Gwen, are anda alright..?"Brenda jumped down from her bunk and sat on mine. "It's nothing.. really."I reassured her and held back my tears as hard as I could. "Tell me what's wrong."She pleaded as the great friend she tried to be and I respected her for that. "I'll tell anda later.."I mumbled into my sore pale arms and she shrugged and climbed back upon her bed. "Get up everyone."The annoying Ms. CIT Courtney that lived selanjutnya door screamed into a microphone. "What is it now..?"Ryan sat up from his tempat tidur like a zombie and glared at her. "I just wanted everyone to be on time to breakfast this morning."She scoffed before flipping her brown hair and walking off with her hand on her hip. "I don't even know why the orphanage claimed her as the helper of the volunteers that come here.."Amy laughed annoyed as she lied on her stomach on the brick like bed. I rolled my eyes and stumbled out of tempat tidur and into the cafeteria of which I just sat in the back away from everyone and stared out at the autumn trees and sketching the scene before me in my sketchbook. After skipping breakfast I went out into the playground that was for the little orphan kids and sketched three girls jump roping. My eyes wandered upon a chalk drawn hop scotch game onto the cement ground and a small boy and girl were playing together. I sighed deeply and buried my left cheek into the palm of my hand and started to draw the long before hop scotch game that me and a boy once played. "Whatcha drawing there, Gwen..?"Brenda walked over and sat beside me on the bench. "Nothing.."I mumbled silently and continued to draw the scene. "You've always been awfully depressed when anda come out here to the playground.. is there something that happened before anda came here..?"She questioned before reaching for my sketchbook but I pulled it away from her. "Yes, but I don't like to talk about it. actually, I've never spoken to anyone about what happened."I started to get choked up as I kept glancing at the two kids playing hop scotch. "You can tell me anything, Gwen."She explained with a smile. I went silent for a moment and watched brown leaves float around the fenced playground, seeing one fall outside the fence and leaving the others behind. I reached into my sketchbook and slid out the crumpled old photograph of the smiling boy and handed it to her. "Who's this..? were anda secretly pregnant-."I cut her off. "No, I wasn't."I faced palmed my forehead and went over to the fence to renda my bony fingers around the metal. "Then what is this photograph about..?"She gave me the picture back and I shoved it in the pocket of my black jacket. "Several years yang lalu I met the boy in the picture and.. well, we had some time together meeting his mother and him pushing me on that ayunan tied tightly around the tall oak tree. I assume it was a war going on and.."I was now having my face in my hands and sobbing uncontrollably. She handed me a tissue and I wiped my tears and smeared makeup sitting back down on the bench with my face still in my hands. "Did anything else happened..?"She questioned and I ignored her, too upset to finish the rest of the story. "Well, simple question. How did anda end up in the orphanage..?"She whispered and patted my back in comfort. "There was a man who kidnapped me when I was about six and decided I wasn't worthy enough to be his child so he sent me here.."I mumbled through tears streaming down my cheeks. "You're 16 right..? damn, you've been here for about 9 atau 10 years."She placed her hand over her mouth to quiet her gasp and her eyes widened in shock. "Thanks for noticing."I rolled my eyes in annoyance and blew the hair out from my face. Teens and younger children were gathering around the fence at a black car strolling up the road and turned into the orphanage parking lot. "There's a new kid.."Someone whispered and many other kids whispered the same thing. "Let's go check it out Gwen."Brenda stood up and yanked me oleh the wrist, but I pulled away. "No thanks.. I'm gonna go back inside. I'm getting a sunburn."I picked up my sketchbook and the picture of the little boy slid out from the pages and onto the cement. I reached down to grab it but it got caught in the wind and it flew over the tall chained fence and onto the black car where one of the doors opened and a green shoe appeared. 'No luck in getting that back.'I stomped back inside and plopped down on my bunk to take a nap for a few hours. I was awoken oleh students talking endlessly outside the room and I limped out of the room and decided to continue my nap on the cafeteria table. Eyes barely open and wobbly walking, I harshly bumped into someone and fell onto the floor slamming my head onto the wall. "Are anda alright..?"The person spoke softly and knelt down beside me taking my hand into his gentle hand. "Leave me alone.. ow."I hissed at him and held the back of my head in pain with my eyes closed tight. "Let me take anda to the nurse-."I cut him off. "Leave me alone dammit."I opened my eyes to slapped my fist across his face and I was now staring into a pair of zamrud, emerald green eyes. "You dropped this outside.. thought anda might want it back."He gave me the photograph that slid from my sketchbook. I stared closely at him and back at the picture of the little boy. I held the photograph selanjutnya to his face and drawn conclusions that he looked exactly like him but older. "Trent..?"I placed my hand upon his warm cheek having tears fill my eyes quickly. "..Gwen, is that really you..?"He questioned in shock and excitement, holding out his hand and I gladly took it to pull myself up. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and hugged him ever so closely crying into his warm chest. "I cant believe it's you..I thought anda were dead."I sobbed and he placed his strong protective arms around my waist. "I thought the same for you.."He whispered gently into my teal hair and held me even closer. "Hey Gwen, who's your friend..?"Brenda pushed her glasses up her nose and smirked widely at me. "Brenda, this is the little boy in the picture. he's my best friend."I glanced at her for a detik before grinning back at Trent and he did the same. "Sure, sure.. that's what they all say."She laughed bent over with her hands on her knees. "Whatever.."I rolled my eyes and he hugged me from behind causing me to blush like crazy. "I'll let anda too catch up. see anda later Gwen."She waved and went off into the cafeteria with her other friends. "I've missed anda so much."I turned to face him and snuggled my face into his neck. "As did I, but I'm not here to stay in the orphanage though-."I cut him off once more. "What..? why are anda leaving..?"Tears started to burn my eyes from the constant rubbing of tissues against them and caused my voice to crack. "I'm taking anda away from here."He answered and wiped one of the tears sliding down my cheek away with his thumb. I lied on the side of my head on his chest and he lifted me into his arms carrying me back into the room and lying me on my bunk gently. Once he sat down onto the bed, I crawled up to him and climbed into his lap like a cat wanting to take a nap on the arm of a couch. "I've been blaming myself for years for your death.."I whispered softly and he lifted my chin up with his finger. "It wasn't your fault."He whispered back sending shivers down my spine. "Yes it was.. if I just would have went with my mother to the store and not have met anda it wouldn't have happened."I croaked and looked down at my boots in shame. "It would've happened anyways and I wouldn't have tried my best to get set free from prison to come here and save you."I adored the way he whispered in the dim moonlight and how his words would always make me feel so aman, brankas to be in his arms. I looked up at his zamrud, emerald green eyes that glistened with bright stars. "You sketch..?"He asked when he noticed the black sketchbook in my hand. "Oh, yeah..I do. I guess I'm a good drawer.."I turned on the lamp on my nightstand and opened the book and showed him each page. "What's that one..?"He held his finger on a page when I turned to the selanjutnya one and I went back to the page. "That's the lumbung, gudang I drew back when we were just kids.."I whispered and he stared at it with teary eyes drinking the horrible sight of the burning down barn. "I cant believe it's been so long.."He gave me back the sketchbook and did the same pose with his hand over his eyes as he cried remembering the hari we were being kidnapped. I remembered it all actually.. the dirt road, meeting him and playing on the swing, the screaming of people pleading for life and loud gun shots. "I'm so sorry."I wrapped my arms around him and listened to his gentle cries. Some detik later I felt his arms slither around me and squeezed me softly holding me closer than he ever has. He looked back into my eyes with his puffy and moist green eyes and I just smiled weakly at him with a blush that I hoped was hidden in the dark. He just smirked which only made my blushing increase and he chuckled slightly. I couldn't take the wait any longer, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips and he kissed back passionately leaning me down on my bunk deepening the kiss. I ran my fingers through his soft hair and he held me as close to him as he could as we kissed with slight tongue added to it. I never thought I had feelings for Trent until now..just knowing he was my best friend as a small child and thinking he died jantung broken me. Now that he's back and we're older, I feel for him. I pulled away slowly as I could and I looked at him with happy squinted eyes he could help but smile and ciuman my eyelids. We both climbed under the sheets of my tempat tidur and he held me close to him, breathing onto my neck and whispering into my ear goodnight. I rested my head upon his arm and fell asleep happier than I've ever been.
You've gone away
anda don't feel me here
Anymore
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold anda high and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain
"Gwen, Gwen wake up."Someone breathed softly into my ear and I tried opening my eyes just thinking of what happened that hari made tears slide from my tightly closed eyelids. I felt something warm press up against my cheeks and I opened my eyes seeing that nothing was there. "Good morning Gwen."The gentle voice made me jump and I turned over to see Trent with my suitcase smiling. "Morning.."I climbed out of tempat tidur and walked down with Trent to the people who take care of the children of the orphanage. "May I help you..?"The nerdy sounding lady spoke as she typed something on the old fashioned computer. "Yes, I'm here to give anda the papers my Aunt had filled out days before to adopt someone."Trent looked at me with an expression that read happiness and I smiled at him looking around the room trying to not miss anyone here. "Thank anda and have a nice day."The lady took the papers from Trent and he intertwined his hand in mine and we both walked out into the blinding sunlight. It's finally nice to be out of that shelter for so long and smell the fresh air of the aroma of bunga nearby. He opened the door of his car and I sat in the passenger kursi him shutting the door behind me gently and getting into the kursi beside me and to drive off away from the prison. "Where are we going..?"I asked as I looked out the window at the trees and houses the car went oleh quickly. "You'll see."He responded with a quick glance at me and a smile then going back to look at the road. "Close your eyes please."He chuckled and I looked at him with an skeptical look but did what he berkata anyways. "Can I uncover my eyes yet..?"I mumbled before giggling and heard him chuckle in his throat. "Not yet..no peeking."He warned gently when the car came to a sudden stop and got out of the car to go to my side and help me out. "Now..?"I sounded a little annoyed of how long this was taking. "Okay, anda can open your eyes now gorgeous."He whispered into my ear and I finally got to take my hand away from my eyes. I felt the urge of breaking down as I was standing in front of the halaman awal I used to live in with my mom and brother. "How did anda find out where I lived..?"I spoke with my choked up voice and he wrapped an arm around me as we walked to the light blue door. "I found your mother one hari and we talked and then getting to know where anda lived."He chuckled before ringing the doorbell. The person who opened it was a man the same height as Trent and had black hair with what seemed like pisau slashes across his face. "Son, I'm glad anda found her."The man looked at me with a smile much like Trent's and I looked at Trent in confusion. "Pardon me, mam. I'm Trent's father. Nice to meet you. Your mother and brother are waiting in the sarang, den for you."The man began to walk downstairs and my mother who was much older than the last time I've seen her was hunched over on the dipan, sofa crying her eyes out with tissues scattered beside her and my brother who looked about 13 sitting selanjutnya to her patting her back in comfort. "Gwen, my precious baby. I'm so glad you're home."She shot up from the dipan, sofa and threw her arms around me and hugged me tight enough to choke me from air. "Where have anda been all this time..?"Caleb questioned with slight pity in his black colored eyes. "Like anda wouldn't know.."I choked out from the tight squeezing of my body. "Are anda alright..? please tell me you're all right. are any of your bones broken-."I cut her off with slight laughter. "I'm fine."I crossed my arms over my chest in embarrassment when I saw Trent snickering silently at me as he sat on the wooden stairs. "I wasn't gone for that long."I reassured my mother as she kept asking me pertanyaan about how life went all that time. "You were gone for 10 years, sweetheart."She sounded a little ticked that I wasn't caring that I haven't seen her for so long. Trent walked over to sit on the dipan, sofa and I sat on his lap smiling at him followed oleh his lips meeting my cheek. "Why are anda getting comfortable with your brother?"Caleb asked in disgust with his eyes squinted in fear. "Trent isn't my brother, anda are, stupid."I growled at him in a hiss and he shook his head in disagreement. "Actually Gwen..there's something I didn't tell anda when anda were still living here but anda were too young to know."My mother began to look nervous as she looked down at the carpeted floor. "Trent is your half brother-."Trent cut his father off. "That isn't true. The only sibling I have is Julie anda know that dad."His eyes darted at him with the rage of hell screaming in them. "You were also too young to know it as well, son. I was walked halaman awal from work one night and I found a lady crying on a jalan, street corner in the rain so I offered to take her back to the lumbung, gudang to comfort her and we got a little intimate and, well the rest anda know."He explained with sorrow shadowing his face as his son was mumbling things about his lying. "That's bullshit."I heard him mumble as he had his head hoisted up on his clenched fist. "It isn't, Trent. Gwen is your half sister."His father explained once lebih and Trent got up, walked up the stairs and left the room without a word. I soon got up and walked to the backdoor finding Trent with both his hands in his pockets staring down at the ground frowning. I traced my fingers across my lips thinking I cant believe I made out with my half brother. "Trent..?"I whispered from behind him and he slowly turned to me with his eyes fallen upon the ground, mumbling a 'What?'. "Are anda alright..?"I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Sure."He mumbled under his breath and continued to not look me in the eyes. "Your father might not be exactly true about the whole half brother sister thing. maybe we could..I don't know possibly get our DNA's checked out to see if it is correct. "That sounds cool, I guess."His eyes lit up but his voice wouldn't. I explained what Trent and I decided to do to our parents and they approved of this. "Now that I have both DNA samples for both parents, I need samples of the children if anda don't mind."The doctor came out of the room with my mother and Trent's father with a clipboard. "Now if anda would please lift up your kemeja sleeves."The doctor instructed to us as he pulled out a needle from a bag. The first needle was for Trent and he seemed to handle it just fine. The detik needle broken through my sensitive pale skin and I winced at the pain. "I'll be examining the results to see if they're fatal atau true."The doctor explained and shut the door behind us. The waiting room was dead silent. All I could hear was my own breathing and the rain pelting onto the blinds covered window. I thought my jantung was going to explode in my chest if there was movement atau even a slight sound filling the air. The knob of the room turned slowly and out came the doctor with his clipboard and pen menulis down on the papers upon it. "The test results were fatal. Gwen Stevens and Trent Jess are not half siblings."The doctor handed the papers to Trent's father and my mother looked at them with him. "So, anda both lied to us..?"Trent spoke up with his normal voice but with anger flowing through it. "We both knew anda two were in cinta so we had to find a story to keep anda teenagers away from each other. I didn't want my son marrying some goth girl."Trent's father growled at him and Trent looked like he would have struck him across the face with his fist. "Come on Trent.."I mumbled and grabbed Trent oleh his green shirt, him still death glaring at his father until he was out of sight. "You passed my house.."I noticed Trent driving right past it not even looking. "Exactly."He kept his eyes locked on the road. The car stopped at an old oak pohon and I stared teary eyed at the ayunan still tied on the bagasi, batang moving ever so slightly in the gentle breeze. I looked at Trent with a soft expression and he smiled getting out of the car and helping me out. I sat upon the wooden kursi of the ayunan and slowly moved my feet back and forth having him go behind me and push me gently on the ayunan just barely moving me with his fingertips. "This brings back memories.."I whispered and watched the thousands of fireflies soar around in the leaves of the oak tree. It was even lebih peaceful here at night even if this was a war sight. The crickets chirping in the patches of grass, fireflies are the light in this beautiful paradise, and having Trent with me was even better. "There is a reason I brought anda here, Gwen."He leaned down and rested his chin on my head. "Yes..?"I whispered as I kept staring at the guns and cannons around the dirt road with skeletons beside them. Silence spoke for his words and grasshoppers skipped from one place to another. "I wanted to start a new life here... with you."He whispered so silently that I could barely here him. "What..?"I turned to him with a shocked expression. "If I'm going too fast we don't have to-."I cut him off. "I wasn't going to reject anda atau anything I'm just surprised anda want to spend the rest of your life with me."I stared into his eyes with passion. "'Course I do. I really do cinta anda and you're such an independent and beautiful young lady."He knelt down before me and held both of my hands with his smile widening. "Then I'll say yes to your proposal."I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling my face just inches from his. "Alright then."He grinned and pulled himself meneruskan, ke depan to ciuman me.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I walked over down the field of fresh green rumput and smiled at the few newly grown ceri, cherry blossom trees. "Mommy, can I go play with Pete down oleh the river..?"Adam yanked on my dress to get my attention and I looked down at the small boy in his dirt stained overalls with his daddy's smile on his face. "Sure but please don't get lost like anda did last time."I warned him and he and the small golden retriever we named after Trent's dog as a kid ran down the bukit, hill and splashed in the water. I placed my hands on my 6 bulan pregnant stomach and walked over towards the still being built halaman awal finding Trent painting the dinding in the kitchen. "Hey beautiful, how are anda feeling..?"He walked over towards me and hugged me gently. "I'm fine."I sat down oleh the dapur meja to a sketch I left unfinished of the trees in the backyard and decided to finish it. Adam and a little girl his age walked in through the front door giggling while with a mud covered anak anjing, anjing following. "Mommy, Daddy, this is Angelica. can she stay to play video games with me..?"Adam looked at me with the anak anjing, anjing dog eyes leaving me to be unable to say yes. "Does it ring a bell..?"Trent chuckled as he swiped the paint brush in his hand up and down the wall. "Yes, actually it does."I began to giggle along with him. "I cinta anda darling."He kissed my cheek and went back to painting. "I cinta anda too."I smiled before going back to my drawing.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone
You've gone away
anda don't feel me anymore
I was in the car with my mother on the way from Church and I continued to stare out the window at the bunga passing by. "I'll be back soon from the grocery store,Gwen. don't get your dress dirty."My mother warned me with a glare that meant she wasn't playing. "Okay, mommy."I opened the door and hopped down onto the patches of fresh rumput with sand like colored dirt below my small sparkly blue shoes. I skipped over towards the tall oak pohon that held a ayunan on one of it's thick pohon trunks and sat upon it,grabbing onto the two ropes and began to kick my feet back and forth giggling as the wind gently kissed my face. I loved to come here everyday and ayunan for awhile seeing that every time I would ayunan so high I could see a bright red painted lumbung, gudang over the tall jagung stalks. I would also sometimes bring my journal along and draw whatever came in sight to me that looked beautiful. I wasn't all that great a drawer because I'm 6 after all, but my mommy says I'll become a professional artist one day. "Get out of my way."The grouchy bully that lives near the oak pohon pushed me out of the ayunan and I landed harshly into a puddle of mud. I gasped as I looked at my Church dress that was now covered in mud and I balled my fists over my eyes,starting to cry. "You big meanie, why did anda push her..?"Another voice came running up towards the person on the swingset. "It's because I can. do anda have a problem with that..?"He got off the ayunan and stood in front of the small boy who didn't look like he was afraid of him at all. "That isn't how anda treat a lady."His eyebrows seemed to dart down slightly and the taller person pushed him onto the ground. "You're such a nerd and a mama's boy, Trent."The person flicked his head and laughed hysterically before climbing onto his bike and driving off to his friends down the dirt hill. "Are anda alright..?"The bare footed kid walked over to me and grabbed onto my hand to pull me out of the mud. "My dress is ruined.."My eyes began to whelm with tears again. "Don't cry, I'll fix it."He soothed and ripped a piece of his kemeja off and wiped off the mud. "Thank you."I giggled and my cheeks got very warm. He gently took my hand in his and placed me back onto the swing,pushing me softly back and forth. "Push me higher Trent."I giggled as I kicked my feet and he started to push me higher. "Wanna play hop scotch..?"He stopped the movement of the ayunan to look at me with his cute grin. "What's that..?"I questioned before he held out his hand to help me down safely from the slightly high above ground ayunan and thanking him afterwards. "You've never played that before..? I'll teach you."He grabbed one of the fallen twigs that surrounded the ayunan and drew squares in the dirt. I brushed the hair from out of my eyes to look at the drawings he had made of confusion until he skipped across all of them. "Your turn."He gestured his hand at the squares still smiling. I copied what he had done and I ended up slamming into him and we both fell onto the grassy plain, starting to laugh. The lowering sunlight continued to sparkle through the many leaves upon the oak pohon and glistened on the waving tall grass. "Where are anda from..? I never seen anda around here."I sat up and brushed the leaves off my dress. "I live over those tall jagung stalks over there in the red barn."He smiled and helped me up from the ground. "Really..? I cinta the view of your home, it's so pretty."I laced my fingers together and giggled like the little child I am. "Maybe I could tampil you. follow me, um..."He trailed off kicking his feet in the dirt mumbling something under his breath. "I'm Gwen Stevens."I answered and he took my hand in his and pecked it softly with his warm lips. "Pleasure to meet you, Gwen. my name is Trent Jess."He bowed his head slightly and looked back up at me with a smile that seemed to never leave his face. Not letting go of my hand, he started to run off into the jagung stalks, pushing them out of the way so I could get through safely and were soon facing the tall barn. He opened the screen door that made a loud creek as it was being opened and hit up against the bright red wood with a quiet thump. I walked into the lumbung, gudang and there were binatang either sitting down and staring at me atau flying around and tweeting a melody. "You really cinta binatang I see.."I giggled as a little anak anjing, anjing snuggled up at my side and I brushed it's head with my hand followed oleh it's tongue slobbering on my hand. "That's Pete. and yes, myself and my family cinta animals."Trent handed Pete a bone to chew on. "Trent, is that you- who's your friend..?"A woman with her hair up in a rubber band and dress made of rags came in with another anak anjing, anjing who ran over and tackled Pete playfully. "Good morning mother. this is Gwen Stevens."he introduced me and his mother's smile faded a little when she saw the stains on my dress. "Would anda like me to clean that for anda dear..?"She smiled once more. "If anda don't mind.. but I don't have any clothing to change in to."I blushed and tried to hide it into the locks of my teal colored hair. "You may have one of Julie's dresses when she was young and she is in college so she wouldn't mind."She took out a black dress from in a closet and handed in to me to go change in the bathroom and give her my muddy dress. "Want an apple..?"Trent bit into a green apel, apple and grabbed another one out of a pail of water. We both went out to the back porch of his house to have a snack and I stared longingly at the small river they had back here. "Your halaman awal is amazing."I continued to admire the water flowing oleh and the vegetable gardens in neat rows of three beside ceri, cherry blossom trees. "Thanks Gwen."Trent threw the apel, apple core onto the fresh rumput and a bird picked it up with it's beak and flying back to it's young ones in it's nest to feed them. I scooted in beside him and leaned my head on his shoulder and listening to the birds sing causing my eyelids to flutter like api being put out. A loud gun shot was heard and the birds quickly flew off in fright screeching as they did. Trent stood up and looked around the corner of the barn, his eyes widening for what seems like fear and he started to cower back towards the back door. "What is it-."He cut me off and grabbed me oleh the wrist taking me back inside the lumbung, gudang and hiding under the table. "Where is your children..?"A man's voice cut through my ears like a pisau being sliced across skin. "I.. I don't know, I swear."It sounded like Trent's mother sobbing and then another gun shot went off silencing her crying. I could see that Trent's eyes were being filled with tears and he closed them placing his dirt coated hand over his eyes. "Sweet little kiddies, come out where ever anda are."The man stomped into the room with his black as a burned out candle wick boots and threw stuff around to look for us. Trent soon stopped tearing and looked at me with an expression in his eyes that read terrified and upset. "Search this entire place until anda find her children. if anda don't we'll just burn this piece of shit halaman awal to the ground."The man ordered to three other tall men in the room who had weapons on a sabuk around their waists. From outside I could hear people screaming and guns going off like crazy, glass shattering, and even lebih heavier weapons that made a loud sound and it was probably those tanks that are used in the military. "There anda are."One of the men grabbed me oleh the arm and yanked me out from under the table. I screamed in fright but Trent pulled me away from the blood shot eyed man and held me behind him in protection. "So anda want to be the first to go, eh..? whatever."The guy grabbed Trent oleh the kerah of his kemeja and pulled a pisau out from the sabuk holding it closely to his neck. I was going to fight back at the guy but someone grabbed me oleh the hair and I was now facing a man with only one eye and teeth pointy like a shark. "Hello sweetheart."The man chuckled and threw me into a sack on the side of the horse he was riding and the horse ran out of the house and back up the dirt road. I peeked out of the little opening and saw many of men dressed in the same uniform killing people with knives and guns. Trent ran out of the front of the lumbung, gudang and tripped onto the bloody rumput and a few of the same dressed men went over to him and started to beat him with the ends of the guns they had. I watched as he screamed in pain as they continued to beat him and I cried out his name causing the man with the one eye to pound his fist upon the sack to quiet me. I glanced out one last time at the beautiful red lumbung, gudang that was now burst into flames and it began to collapse. I fell back into the sack and curled up in a ball in fear and listened to the horse's hooves clack stomp onto the dirt road.
I wanted anda to know that I cinta the way anda laugh
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I opened my eyes to find myself snuggled up under a not so thick cover on the bottom of a bunk tempat tidur in a room full of three other bunk beds with teens who had wished they were loved oleh their past parents. I sat up and stretched my sore arms from working for the neighbors the other hari and got out my mirror to fix my hair. I lied back down and something crumpled under my bantal and I reached under and pulled out a wrinkly photograph of a boy who was leaning up against the bright red wood of a barn. Tears whelmed up in my eyes and I stuffed the picture into my sketchbook and stared up at the rough wood that held the tempat tidur above me. 'That kid is probably dead anyways..'I thought to myself, causing lebih tears to plummet from my eyes. It was my fault that he had gotten killed. If I would have went with my mother to the grocery store and not went to play he would still be alive. "Gwen, are anda alright..?"Brenda jumped down from her bunk and sat on mine. "It's nothing.. really."I reassured her and held back my tears as hard as I could. "Tell me what's wrong."She pleaded as the great friend she tried to be and I respected her for that. "I'll tell anda later.."I mumbled into my sore pale arms and she shrugged and climbed back upon her bed. "Get up everyone."The annoying Ms. CIT Courtney that lived selanjutnya door screamed into a microphone. "What is it now..?"Ryan sat up from his tempat tidur like a zombie and glared at her. "I just wanted everyone to be on time to breakfast this morning."She scoffed before flipping her brown hair and walking off with her hand on her hip. "I don't even know why the orphanage claimed her as the helper of the volunteers that come here.."Amy laughed annoyed as she lied on her stomach on the brick like bed. I rolled my eyes and stumbled out of tempat tidur and into the cafeteria of which I just sat in the back away from everyone and stared out at the autumn trees and sketching the scene before me in my sketchbook. After skipping breakfast I went out into the playground that was for the little orphan kids and sketched three girls jump roping. My eyes wandered upon a chalk drawn hop scotch game onto the cement ground and a small boy and girl were playing together. I sighed deeply and buried my left cheek into the palm of my hand and started to draw the long before hop scotch game that me and a boy once played. "Whatcha drawing there, Gwen..?"Brenda walked over and sat beside me on the bench. "Nothing.."I mumbled silently and continued to draw the scene. "You've always been awfully depressed when anda come out here to the playground.. is there something that happened before anda came here..?"She questioned before reaching for my sketchbook but I pulled it away from her. "Yes, but I don't like to talk about it. actually, I've never spoken to anyone about what happened."I started to get choked up as I kept glancing at the two kids playing hop scotch. "You can tell me anything, Gwen."She explained with a smile. I went silent for a moment and watched brown leaves float around the fenced playground, seeing one fall outside the fence and leaving the others behind. I reached into my sketchbook and slid out the crumpled old photograph of the smiling boy and handed it to her. "Who's this..? were anda secretly pregnant-."I cut her off. "No, I wasn't."I faced palmed my forehead and went over to the fence to renda my bony fingers around the metal. "Then what is this photograph about..?"She gave me the picture back and I shoved it in the pocket of my black jacket. "Several years yang lalu I met the boy in the picture and.. well, we had some time together meeting his mother and him pushing me on that ayunan tied tightly around the tall oak tree. I assume it was a war going on and.."I was now having my face in my hands and sobbing uncontrollably. She handed me a tissue and I wiped my tears and smeared makeup sitting back down on the bench with my face still in my hands. "Did anything else happened..?"She questioned and I ignored her, too upset to finish the rest of the story. "Well, simple question. How did anda end up in the orphanage..?"She whispered and patted my back in comfort. "There was a man who kidnapped me when I was about six and decided I wasn't worthy enough to be his child so he sent me here.."I mumbled through tears streaming down my cheeks. "You're 16 right..? damn, you've been here for about 9 atau 10 years."She placed her hand over her mouth to quiet her gasp and her eyes widened in shock. "Thanks for noticing."I rolled my eyes in annoyance and blew the hair out from my face. Teens and younger children were gathering around the fence at a black car strolling up the road and turned into the orphanage parking lot. "There's a new kid.."Someone whispered and many other kids whispered the same thing. "Let's go check it out Gwen."Brenda stood up and yanked me oleh the wrist, but I pulled away. "No thanks.. I'm gonna go back inside. I'm getting a sunburn."I picked up my sketchbook and the picture of the little boy slid out from the pages and onto the cement. I reached down to grab it but it got caught in the wind and it flew over the tall chained fence and onto the black car where one of the doors opened and a green shoe appeared. 'No luck in getting that back.'I stomped back inside and plopped down on my bunk to take a nap for a few hours. I was awoken oleh students talking endlessly outside the room and I limped out of the room and decided to continue my nap on the cafeteria table. Eyes barely open and wobbly walking, I harshly bumped into someone and fell onto the floor slamming my head onto the wall. "Are anda alright..?"The person spoke softly and knelt down beside me taking my hand into his gentle hand. "Leave me alone.. ow."I hissed at him and held the back of my head in pain with my eyes closed tight. "Let me take anda to the nurse-."I cut him off. "Leave me alone dammit."I opened my eyes to slapped my fist across his face and I was now staring into a pair of zamrud, emerald green eyes. "You dropped this outside.. thought anda might want it back."He gave me the photograph that slid from my sketchbook. I stared closely at him and back at the picture of the little boy. I held the photograph selanjutnya to his face and drawn conclusions that he looked exactly like him but older. "Trent..?"I placed my hand upon his warm cheek having tears fill my eyes quickly. "..Gwen, is that really you..?"He questioned in shock and excitement, holding out his hand and I gladly took it to pull myself up. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and hugged him ever so closely crying into his warm chest. "I cant believe it's you..I thought anda were dead."I sobbed and he placed his strong protective arms around my waist. "I thought the same for you.."He whispered gently into my teal hair and held me even closer. "Hey Gwen, who's your friend..?"Brenda pushed her glasses up her nose and smirked widely at me. "Brenda, this is the little boy in the picture. he's my best friend."I glanced at her for a detik before grinning back at Trent and he did the same. "Sure, sure.. that's what they all say."She laughed bent over with her hands on her knees. "Whatever.."I rolled my eyes and he hugged me from behind causing me to blush like crazy. "I'll let anda too catch up. see anda later Gwen."She waved and went off into the cafeteria with her other friends. "I've missed anda so much."I turned to face him and snuggled my face into his neck. "As did I, but I'm not here to stay in the orphanage though-."I cut him off once more. "What..? why are anda leaving..?"Tears started to burn my eyes from the constant rubbing of tissues against them and caused my voice to crack. "I'm taking anda away from here."He answered and wiped one of the tears sliding down my cheek away with his thumb. I lied on the side of my head on his chest and he lifted me into his arms carrying me back into the room and lying me on my bunk gently. Once he sat down onto the bed, I crawled up to him and climbed into his lap like a cat wanting to take a nap on the arm of a couch. "I've been blaming myself for years for your death.."I whispered softly and he lifted my chin up with his finger. "It wasn't your fault."He whispered back sending shivers down my spine. "Yes it was.. if I just would have went with my mother to the store and not have met anda it wouldn't have happened."I croaked and looked down at my boots in shame. "It would've happened anyways and I wouldn't have tried my best to get set free from prison to come here and save you."I adored the way he whispered in the dim moonlight and how his words would always make me feel so aman, brankas to be in his arms. I looked up at his zamrud, emerald green eyes that glistened with bright stars. "You sketch..?"He asked when he noticed the black sketchbook in my hand. "Oh, yeah..I do. I guess I'm a good drawer.."I turned on the lamp on my nightstand and opened the book and showed him each page. "What's that one..?"He held his finger on a page when I turned to the selanjutnya one and I went back to the page. "That's the lumbung, gudang I drew back when we were just kids.."I whispered and he stared at it with teary eyes drinking the horrible sight of the burning down barn. "I cant believe it's been so long.."He gave me back the sketchbook and did the same pose with his hand over his eyes as he cried remembering the hari we were being kidnapped. I remembered it all actually.. the dirt road, meeting him and playing on the swing, the screaming of people pleading for life and loud gun shots. "I'm so sorry."I wrapped my arms around him and listened to his gentle cries. Some detik later I felt his arms slither around me and squeezed me softly holding me closer than he ever has. He looked back into my eyes with his puffy and moist green eyes and I just smiled weakly at him with a blush that I hoped was hidden in the dark. He just smirked which only made my blushing increase and he chuckled slightly. I couldn't take the wait any longer, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips and he kissed back passionately leaning me down on my bunk deepening the kiss. I ran my fingers through his soft hair and he held me as close to him as he could as we kissed with slight tongue added to it. I never thought I had feelings for Trent until now..just knowing he was my best friend as a small child and thinking he died jantung broken me. Now that he's back and we're older, I feel for him. I pulled away slowly as I could and I looked at him with happy squinted eyes he could help but smile and ciuman my eyelids. We both climbed under the sheets of my tempat tidur and he held me close to him, breathing onto my neck and whispering into my ear goodnight. I rested my head upon his arm and fell asleep happier than I've ever been.
You've gone away
anda don't feel me here
Anymore
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold anda high and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold anda high and steal your pain
"Gwen, Gwen wake up."Someone breathed softly into my ear and I tried opening my eyes just thinking of what happened that hari made tears slide from my tightly closed eyelids. I felt something warm press up against my cheeks and I opened my eyes seeing that nothing was there. "Good morning Gwen."The gentle voice made me jump and I turned over to see Trent with my suitcase smiling. "Morning.."I climbed out of tempat tidur and walked down with Trent to the people who take care of the children of the orphanage. "May I help you..?"The nerdy sounding lady spoke as she typed something on the old fashioned computer. "Yes, I'm here to give anda the papers my Aunt had filled out days before to adopt someone."Trent looked at me with an expression that read happiness and I smiled at him looking around the room trying to not miss anyone here. "Thank anda and have a nice day."The lady took the papers from Trent and he intertwined his hand in mine and we both walked out into the blinding sunlight. It's finally nice to be out of that shelter for so long and smell the fresh air of the aroma of bunga nearby. He opened the door of his car and I sat in the passenger kursi him shutting the door behind me gently and getting into the kursi beside me and to drive off away from the prison. "Where are we going..?"I asked as I looked out the window at the trees and houses the car went oleh quickly. "You'll see."He responded with a quick glance at me and a smile then going back to look at the road. "Close your eyes please."He chuckled and I looked at him with an skeptical look but did what he berkata anyways. "Can I uncover my eyes yet..?"I mumbled before giggling and heard him chuckle in his throat. "Not yet..no peeking."He warned gently when the car came to a sudden stop and got out of the car to go to my side and help me out. "Now..?"I sounded a little annoyed of how long this was taking. "Okay, anda can open your eyes now gorgeous."He whispered into my ear and I finally got to take my hand away from my eyes. I felt the urge of breaking down as I was standing in front of the halaman awal I used to live in with my mom and brother. "How did anda find out where I lived..?"I spoke with my choked up voice and he wrapped an arm around me as we walked to the light blue door. "I found your mother one hari and we talked and then getting to know where anda lived."He chuckled before ringing the doorbell. The person who opened it was a man the same height as Trent and had black hair with what seemed like pisau slashes across his face. "Son, I'm glad anda found her."The man looked at me with a smile much like Trent's and I looked at Trent in confusion. "Pardon me, mam. I'm Trent's father. Nice to meet you. Your mother and brother are waiting in the sarang, den for you."The man began to walk downstairs and my mother who was much older than the last time I've seen her was hunched over on the dipan, sofa crying her eyes out with tissues scattered beside her and my brother who looked about 13 sitting selanjutnya to her patting her back in comfort. "Gwen, my precious baby. I'm so glad you're home."She shot up from the dipan, sofa and threw her arms around me and hugged me tight enough to choke me from air. "Where have anda been all this time..?"Caleb questioned with slight pity in his black colored eyes. "Like anda wouldn't know.."I choked out from the tight squeezing of my body. "Are anda alright..? please tell me you're all right. are any of your bones broken-."I cut her off with slight laughter. "I'm fine."I crossed my arms over my chest in embarrassment when I saw Trent snickering silently at me as he sat on the wooden stairs. "I wasn't gone for that long."I reassured my mother as she kept asking me pertanyaan about how life went all that time. "You were gone for 10 years, sweetheart."She sounded a little ticked that I wasn't caring that I haven't seen her for so long. Trent walked over to sit on the dipan, sofa and I sat on his lap smiling at him followed oleh his lips meeting my cheek. "Why are anda getting comfortable with your brother?"Caleb asked in disgust with his eyes squinted in fear. "Trent isn't my brother, anda are, stupid."I growled at him in a hiss and he shook his head in disagreement. "Actually Gwen..there's something I didn't tell anda when anda were still living here but anda were too young to know."My mother began to look nervous as she looked down at the carpeted floor. "Trent is your half brother-."Trent cut his father off. "That isn't true. The only sibling I have is Julie anda know that dad."His eyes darted at him with the rage of hell screaming in them. "You were also too young to know it as well, son. I was walked halaman awal from work one night and I found a lady crying on a jalan, street corner in the rain so I offered to take her back to the lumbung, gudang to comfort her and we got a little intimate and, well the rest anda know."He explained with sorrow shadowing his face as his son was mumbling things about his lying. "That's bullshit."I heard him mumble as he had his head hoisted up on his clenched fist. "It isn't, Trent. Gwen is your half sister."His father explained once lebih and Trent got up, walked up the stairs and left the room without a word. I soon got up and walked to the backdoor finding Trent with both his hands in his pockets staring down at the ground frowning. I traced my fingers across my lips thinking I cant believe I made out with my half brother. "Trent..?"I whispered from behind him and he slowly turned to me with his eyes fallen upon the ground, mumbling a 'What?'. "Are anda alright..?"I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Sure."He mumbled under his breath and continued to not look me in the eyes. "Your father might not be exactly true about the whole half brother sister thing. maybe we could..I don't know possibly get our DNA's checked out to see if it is correct. "That sounds cool, I guess."His eyes lit up but his voice wouldn't. I explained what Trent and I decided to do to our parents and they approved of this. "Now that I have both DNA samples for both parents, I need samples of the children if anda don't mind."The doctor came out of the room with my mother and Trent's father with a clipboard. "Now if anda would please lift up your kemeja sleeves."The doctor instructed to us as he pulled out a needle from a bag. The first needle was for Trent and he seemed to handle it just fine. The detik needle broken through my sensitive pale skin and I winced at the pain. "I'll be examining the results to see if they're fatal atau true."The doctor explained and shut the door behind us. The waiting room was dead silent. All I could hear was my own breathing and the rain pelting onto the blinds covered window. I thought my jantung was going to explode in my chest if there was movement atau even a slight sound filling the air. The knob of the room turned slowly and out came the doctor with his clipboard and pen menulis down on the papers upon it. "The test results were fatal. Gwen Stevens and Trent Jess are not half siblings."The doctor handed the papers to Trent's father and my mother looked at them with him. "So, anda both lied to us..?"Trent spoke up with his normal voice but with anger flowing through it. "We both knew anda two were in cinta so we had to find a story to keep anda teenagers away from each other. I didn't want my son marrying some goth girl."Trent's father growled at him and Trent looked like he would have struck him across the face with his fist. "Come on Trent.."I mumbled and grabbed Trent oleh his green shirt, him still death glaring at his father until he was out of sight. "You passed my house.."I noticed Trent driving right past it not even looking. "Exactly."He kept his eyes locked on the road. The car stopped at an old oak pohon and I stared teary eyed at the ayunan still tied on the bagasi, batang moving ever so slightly in the gentle breeze. I looked at Trent with a soft expression and he smiled getting out of the car and helping me out. I sat upon the wooden kursi of the ayunan and slowly moved my feet back and forth having him go behind me and push me gently on the ayunan just barely moving me with his fingertips. "This brings back memories.."I whispered and watched the thousands of fireflies soar around in the leaves of the oak tree. It was even lebih peaceful here at night even if this was a war sight. The crickets chirping in the patches of grass, fireflies are the light in this beautiful paradise, and having Trent with me was even better. "There is a reason I brought anda here, Gwen."He leaned down and rested his chin on my head. "Yes..?"I whispered as I kept staring at the guns and cannons around the dirt road with skeletons beside them. Silence spoke for his words and grasshoppers skipped from one place to another. "I wanted to start a new life here... with you."He whispered so silently that I could barely here him. "What..?"I turned to him with a shocked expression. "If I'm going too fast we don't have to-."I cut him off. "I wasn't going to reject anda atau anything I'm just surprised anda want to spend the rest of your life with me."I stared into his eyes with passion. "'Course I do. I really do cinta anda and you're such an independent and beautiful young lady."He knelt down before me and held both of my hands with his smile widening. "Then I'll say yes to your proposal."I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling my face just inches from his. "Alright then."He grinned and pulled himself meneruskan, ke depan to ciuman me.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I walked over down the field of fresh green rumput and smiled at the few newly grown ceri, cherry blossom trees. "Mommy, can I go play with Pete down oleh the river..?"Adam yanked on my dress to get my attention and I looked down at the small boy in his dirt stained overalls with his daddy's smile on his face. "Sure but please don't get lost like anda did last time."I warned him and he and the small golden retriever we named after Trent's dog as a kid ran down the bukit, hill and splashed in the water. I placed my hands on my 6 bulan pregnant stomach and walked over towards the still being built halaman awal finding Trent painting the dinding in the kitchen. "Hey beautiful, how are anda feeling..?"He walked over towards me and hugged me gently. "I'm fine."I sat down oleh the dapur meja to a sketch I left unfinished of the trees in the backyard and decided to finish it. Adam and a little girl his age walked in through the front door giggling while with a mud covered anak anjing, anjing following. "Mommy, Daddy, this is Angelica. can she stay to play video games with me..?"Adam looked at me with the anak anjing, anjing dog eyes leaving me to be unable to say yes. "Does it ring a bell..?"Trent chuckled as he swiped the paint brush in his hand up and down the wall. "Yes, actually it does."I began to giggle along with him. "I cinta anda darling."He kissed my cheek and went back to painting. "I cinta anda too."I smiled before going back to my drawing.
