Midnight Rain

I followed Zack; not knowing where he was taking me. He walked through trees and shrubs. I had to step over some fallen trees and over some holes in the Earth. The sun was blocked out by the thick canopy. The air was as hot as ever though.

I felt more comfortable about everything when I was with Zack without anyone else around. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not. His voice would calm me and his touch made me weak and tired. It was all strange to me; I wasn't used to it at all.

"Zack where the hell are you taking me?" I questioned with irritation. Zack smiled back at me before he kept walking. I sighed and started to walk again.

Zack pulled some vines and low branches out of the way and smiled at me. "Here we are." He said holding the branches back so I could walk forward. He let them go as he trialed behind me.

It was a clearing with a small lake. You could see to the bottom. At the bottom of the lake there were large rocks. Wild flowers grew along the bank I could smell the fresh scent of honey suckle.Behind the lake there were even more trees. This place was beautiful.

"What do you think?" Zack asked sitting in the soft grass. I sat next to to him and smiled at him.

"It's beautiful." I said biting my lower lip. I couldn't help but keep smiling. I wrapped my arms around his middle and pulled him into a hug sending him on his back. He laughed.

"Glad you like it." Zack said between his muffled laughs.I loosened my grip on him and just let my arms rest around him and my cheek was pressed against his shoulder. I was looking up at the sky. I couldn't help but feel happy for the first time in a long time.

I looked up at Zack and smiled. He smiled back and opened his mouth to say something but closed it when nothing came out. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. I felt my cheeks begin to burn as he pulled away slightly and smiled.

"What was that for?" I asked cocking my eye brow. Zack snorted and shook his head. I rolled my eyes and snuggled closer to him. He held me tighter and for some reason I felt safe. I closed my eyes and let my nails travel up and down Zack's exposed arm. He was running his hands up and down the middle of my back; not that I minded.

"Why do you go to a psychologist?" Zack asked after a few moments of silence. I tensed at his side and I was sure he had noticed.

I sighed and shook my head. It was well enough to say that the moment was gone. "I'll tell you." I whispered. A light breeze blew making my hot body cool down a little bit. "Someday."
