He almost tripped a few times as he ran down, but he kept his posture. When he got to the lake he stopped and stared out at it. The soft dew and the sweet smell made him relax. When he was relaxed Forest looked around to where Teirra might be.
He spotted Teirra when he looked over to the trees. A small smile pressed his lips, before he made his way over there. He had almost forgotten how beautiful she was, but he remembered now, and he never wanted to forget.
"I'm sorry, i must be late. I sorta fell asleep in the tower, and forgot about the time" he told her, and rubbed the back of his neck, while he laughed nervously. He hoped that she wasn't mad that he was late.

Teirra's eyes opened as she heard the familar voice that she knew as none other than Forest's. She looked up at him as her mind processed what he had said to her. She smiled and shook her head as seh laughed slightly.
"Don't worry about it," Teirra said as she looked at him. "Have a sit," she said as she motioned to the ground next to her.
Teirra continued to smile as she moved her gaze from Forest and looked toward the lake. Everything was so beautiful and green. Green. Right, it had rained last night. Teirra's head soon wnet back to Forest.
"You fell asleep in the Tower?" she asked as she looked at him. "You must have gotten rained all over on."

"Thanks" he whispered before he slid down next to her. He was way to tired to do anything else at that moment. To much running even for him. When he got some strength, he opened his eyes and stared out around. He couldn't believe that some rain could do this to plants.
When she asked about the tower, he sighed. "I guess I was to frustrated last night to move, so i fell asleep at the tower...and woke up soaked" he whispered and stared up at the sky.
Forest looked over at Teirra for a moment, before he looked down at the grass. He wondered what to say next.

"What were you fristrated about?" Teirra asked as she looked over at Forest who now sat beside her.
Teirra looked at him, wondering this question. What could make him so frustrated that he didn't want to move and ended up staying the night on the Astronomy Tower balcony?
"Waking up soaked must not have been fun either," Teirra said with a slight nodd as she turned toward the lake.

Forest was about to say what made him so frustrated but he couldn't get it out of his mouth. "It...was just something i remembered from earlier" he whispered and looked away. He couldn't tell her that she was the one that caused her to be frustrated. He could tell she would be the one to beat her up for it.
Forest closed her eyes and remembered what she had told him yesterday. I guess it was already to late for keeping the promise. He really was in love her. No this wasn't some sort of one day love that you meet someone. He felt she was the right one, the right person for her.
"I guess it was alright. I just hope i don't catch a cold" he said softly as he looked over at her, before he looked over to the lake.

"Oh, I see," Teirra said as she kept her eyes on the lake.
She wondered what it was that he had become frustrated about, but sh knew that most likely he wouldn't tell her. People tended to do that and when they did tell her something it was soething made up that no one in a million years would believe. Teirra shrugged off the thought as she looked over to Forest agian.
"We wouldn't want you to catch a cold," she said as she shook her head. "Colds aren't fun. Then again, being sick is never fun so what can you expect from it?"
Teirra hated when she got sick. Plus, with her current...condition she really hated beign sick. Being sick was something that she wopuld never wish on someone. It made you feel horrible and she hated it.

Forest bit his lip, almost becoming frustrated again, but he sighed. He brought his legs to his chest and rested his chin on his knee's. "I was frustrated, of the promise that you told me to keep" he whispered as he stared out at the lake. He couldn't not tell her the truth. That wasn't like Forest.
He wondered if she was going to be mad, or surprised. He didn't really know. Of course he didn't know Teirra very well, but he felt like he had known her for a long time. Thats what it felt inside of him at this moment.
"I don't like being sick. My sister, takes medicine so she doesn't get sick all that often. But she forgets to take it at times, and so she blacks out, or she cant do anything. I don't like watching her go through that, so i try to remind her, but she always tells me she is fine" he whispered and sighed again.

"Why were you frustrated about that?" Teirra asked as she looked at him.
It surprised her a bit that he would be frustrated about that promise. It was just a stupid thing that she had said at the moment. It was what she wanted to say, but she didn't think he would take and become frustrated. She jsut didn't want him to get hurt. Teirra didn't want to put her burden onto him.
"Yeah, being sick is no fun," Teirra said as she turned from him. She didn't want him to see the hurt in her face as seh thought abouter condition. No one knew about it besides her family and she was determined to keep it that way.

"Because..." he said softly and looked away. "I think...I already love you" he whispered and closed his eyes. He was almost ready for a slap or something as he sat there. Even though she said it was something to say, he took it seriously.
Forest thought about yesterday and all that he wished for. He smiled softly. He was able to get one of his wishes. One of them was to tell Teirra how he felt. From the moment he saw her, he knew she was the one.
Forest looked over at Teirra and saw that she was looking away. "You don't want my company do you?" he asked softly sadly, as he looked over at her. He was worried that he had made her upset.

When Teirra heard his words her heart dropped. She didn't want him to feel this way toward her. It wasn't fair to him. It wouldn't ever work out. There wasn't enough time. Teirra bit her lip as a small tear fell from her eye. She didn't want this to happen. She knew that it would have evenually happened, but right now she didn't want it. Not at this time in her life. Actually, she didn't ever want it.
"You can't," she said still looking away from Forest.
When she heard the second thing he said she quickly wiped away the tear. She didn't want him to leave. She loved being around him. When she was around him she didn't feel like she had her conditon.
"No, I do want your company," she said as she turned toward him.

"I know I can't. You told me that yesterday. But I can't stop feeling this way. But i guess...if you don't want me to feel this way...then i wont" he whispered and closed his eyes. He almost felt like crying, but he forced that thought out of his mind and sat there stunned. He knew she was going to say that, but he actually didn't think she would.
The words stunned him so much he had to think about what he was going to say next.
Forest looked over at her, before he looked over at the lake. "I'm sorry for what i said. I shouldn't have. It made you upset" he said softly as he stared out at the black lake.

"You don't understand," Teirra said as another tear fell from her face. "I can't let you love me. It's not fair to you. It will never be fair to you."
Teirra bit her lip as looked at him, hoping with all her heart that he would understand. In the back of her head she knew that he was probably going to ask about why it wouldn't be fair to him. What was she to say? What was she to tell him? What would he think of she did tell him the truth?
"Don't ever be sorry for anything you say," Teirra said, seriously. "You shouldn't ever be sorry for your own thoughts and opinions. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm not upset. I just can't let you feel this way. It's not fair to you," Teirra said again to Forest.

"Fair?" he asked softly as he looked over at her. This caught his attention. "Why would it not be fair. Is it..." but he stopped himself. He was going to ask if it was about his sister, because his last girlfriend, either he broke up with her, or she broke up with him. But it was all because of Rain. After that Forest vowed that he would never love another girl who hated Rain, or wanted to hurt her in any way.
Forest stared down at the grass and sighed. "Its fine, you don't have to tell me. I get it. I'll try to get over these feelings that I have" he said softly as he looked over to her. He didn't want to hurt her if he was, by any means.

"No, it's impossible to get over feelings that are already there," Teirra said as she shook her head and looked at him. "I had just hoped that you didn't love me. Things would be so much easier that way. It just isn't fair..."
Teirra looked down at the ground. She knew she needed to tell him everythign, but she just couldn't find the right words to do it with. She couldn't let him continue to think whatever he was thinging was the problem. That wasn't fair to him either.
"It's not whatever you are thinking," Teirra said as she looked back at Forest. "I'm sure that my brother didn't tell you at all about what happened... When we were twelve we were all going out to dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. My brothers and I were fighting in the backseat and my dad, who was driving, was trying to get us to settle down. Since he wasn't watching the road he swerved into the other lane and a car hit us straight on. The car was totaled and my brothers, my moma and I were barely able to get out. My dad got stuck and we went to get help. As soon as were were ten feet from the car it expolded. We were all blown back from the explosion and blacked out. When I woke up I was in the hospital. I hurt all over. The doctor came in and that's when I got the news..." Tears welled up in Teirra's eyes as she got to this part of the story. "Not only was my father dead, but he said that I ad cancer. If it hadn't have been for the crash they probably would have never found it. I have gotten so many surgeries to get rid of it, but it just keeps coming back. This last time that I went to the doctor I was told that it was as bad as ever. They don't think I will make it to my eighteenth birthday. Do you see why you can't love me? It just isn't fair to you," Teirra said. By this time tears were flowing down her cheeks as she looked at Forest.

Forest looked over at her as to what she said. He looked away thinking that she wouldn't tell him why it wasn't fair, but when she began to tell him, his head turned toward Teirra once more as he watched her and listened.
When she said that she had cancer, he stared down at the ground. This was why she said it would be unfair to him. He forced himself to listen without crying, but when she got to the last part, tears began to roll down his cheeks. He quickly wiped them away, and looked over at Teirra. Forest noticed her crying, and reached over and wiped her tears away as well.
"How about you make the best of it?" he asked softly as he looked over at her. "I would be faithful to you. I would never forget you. And i would never love again. You are the one that i love, and will always love. That is a promise i will make you. I'll watch out for you, and help you, or anything" he told her, loving her even more. Not just because she had cancer, but because she told him.
Forest looked over at her, before he wrapped his arms around her and held her. "I'm sorry if this is probably making you mad, or upset, but please. Take my love. I can't turn back and i won't turn back. You are the one that i love" he told her softly.
