Chapter 1

Her face tightens in more ways than one. Holding back all of the love,anger,hate,and joy she has felt this last summer. He softly runs his fingers against the tensed muscles that run along her jaw. There is something so familiar, so comforting, so right about his touch she cant help but to collapse into his arms and let her face sink into his chest. She allows the glass cover on her eyes to explode into a waterfall of tears. He doesn't know what to do but just hold her close and softly lull the familiar tune of a song, their song in fact. Ahh, yes their song. The one they spent numerous hours listening to and thinking about. A smile spreads across his face. "Tyler!" She manages to say through her short wispy breaths. "How are you smiling. Especially right here, right now. How?" Tyler Pulls her close and wipes the streaming tears from her cheeks. He takes a deep breath and releases with saying " I love you Anna. Always have, always will." With what she feels she has secret permission to let everything come out, so she cries even harder. Tyler leans in and kisses her through her tears never wanting to let go, knowing Anna was the girl for him. He wanted all of her, from the beautiful brown in her eyes to the little freckle she has on the inside of her right ankle. She hated it so much, but to him it was something he thought was really sexy. To know that she may have even the slightest imperfection on her soft velvet skin was comforting. Now sitting here with Anna in his arms he knew she was way to good. For him and the world. He could never leave her. Even when such a tragedy like this one occurred. He wanted to be there through everything. "gosh Anna! I love you he said. She looked up, eyes puffy and pink. He couldn't resist. Even with all of the commotion, the sirens, the people, the cars, he leaned in to kiss her once more. This time more tenderly and passionately. Both of them sending secret messages stating they wish they had a pause button. Not because this was the best kiss they shared. But because they didn't want to have to deal with what the feature would bring. Tomorrow to be more specific. Tomorrow was so close, but so far far away.
