Life as we know it.

[Megan.]

Megan had been gone for over 4 months now.  It wasn't that she wanted to leave, it was that she had to leave.  Things were going on in her life that had never happend before.  She was getting older, but was staying one age.  She was going to be one age...forever. 

She looked around at her surroundings.  The lake was just outside her reach.  She could feel the water misting over her as the waves hit against the rocks.  The trees around here, were quite.  Nothing was moving.  Every once in while there was wind, but she was keeping track of how many minutes it was for there to be another gust of wind.  Now it has been over 30 minutes and nothing. 

She listened in the distance.  It was going to rain today.  She could feel it, smell it, and hear it far out.  She sat down in the sand and looked at the open water.  Her long black hair was down, and she was wearing a white hoodie, with her swimsuit under the hoodie.  her shorts were laying on her towel.  At the moment she just wanted to sit in the sand. 

She had went swimming earlier, and might go again.  The water felt good.  Not cold but then not warm.  Just right.  She looked over to her left,  because she heard something.  She moved her bangs out of her eyes, and then realized it was just a fish.

[Aiden]

Aiden sat in the forest.  He leaned against the tree with his arms leaning against his knees.  It was a nice day out, moderately warm.  He was wearing his black skinny jeans and a tee-shirt with a band design on it.  Also some fingerless gloves and his snakebites.  A slow breeze fell over the horizon, shaking the leaves on the trees.  It was like almost like the whole forest was at peace.

Aiden suddenly felt the urge to run through the forest at full speed.  It was a feeling he got often when he stood in one place for far too long.  Aiden stood up.  His limbs protested from being still so long.  He walked through the forest, his hands in his pockets.  Aiden headed toward the lake and he suddenly got the feeling he wasn't alone.

Eventually, he came to the lake.  Aiden pushed a tree limb that hung low to the ground out of his way.  He scanned the beach, seeing no one at first.  Aiden took a few more steps forward, then noticing Megan sitting in the sand.  He walked closer to her.  "Hey..."  Aiden greeted her quietly.  Another cool breeze swept across the shore, making his dark black hair fall over his eyes.

[Megan.]

Megan looked up and again pushed her bangs out of her eyes.  She looked up at Aiden, and smiled.  "Well, Hello."she said to him.  She looked back at the lake, and around at her.  She thought is felt werid that it was so quite.  But that didn't always bother her.  There was a gust of wind. 

"45 minutes."she said.  The wind blew her hood down and she sighed.  She looked back up at him her eyes looked very very blue today.  she sighed again. 

"I think this world now hates me.  I have at least put my hood back up a thousand times already.  Yeah, it hates me."she said to him and laughed.

[Aiden]

Aiden laughed as the cool breeze around them began to pick up.  "Nah, it just likes to taunt us."  He paused and flipped his black hair out of his eyes, only to have it fall back again.  "I know what you mean..."  Aiden shrugged and then chuckled.

He looked down at the sand Megan sat on.  Aiden looked from her back to the sand.  "Do you mind if I with you?"  He asked quietly, not wanting to be rude to someone he just met.

[Megan.]

She looked at him and laughed, "Go ahead.  I don't own the sand silly."she said to him and laughed.

The waves came up and hit a rock near by and got her a little wet.  She sqeaked, as it hit her.  She looked back at Aiden.  Then she laughed.  She smiled up at him, with a laugh again.

[Aiden]

Aiden waited to sit.  He noticed the wave that was coming so he felt no need to get wet.  He watched as the wave hit Megan, soaking her.  He suddenly bursted out into a roar of laughter.  Aiden sat down, still laughing.    "Wow.  That was very nice"  He laughed.

He looked at her and how soaked she was.  "Thats exactly why I waited to sit down."  He said, and chuckled once more.  "I'm sorry.  I couldn't help myself." Aiden tried to hold in his laugh now.

[Megan.]

She looked at him and glared.  "That was sooo not funny."she said to him and then she laughed with him.  "Okay...maybe a little, but it is bad on my half."she said to him with a smile.

"I wouldn't laugh to hard."she said to him as she looked at the water and then focused on it.  An ball of water rose out of the lake and she brought it over fast and made it hit Aiden so now he was soaked.

"That's what you get."she said to him and then busted out laughing. 

[Aiden]

Aiden laughed then was knocked back by the way.  He leaned back up.  "Hey"  He protested.  Aiden looked at his soaked self.  He shook his head and water sprinklets flew everywhere, even on Megan. 

"That was not nice"  Aiden said.  He then laughed and flung the water off of his arms.  He smiled and chuckled at himself.

[Megan.]

She looked at him and laughed, "It wasn't?..haha..that was funny."she said and looked at him.

She then looked at him again, "So r u and Stacey.....?"she asked him.

[Aiden]

He smiled.  "Yeah, it wasn't."  Aiden chuckled.

Aiden looked at Megan, more serious now than before.  "Yeah...but its confusing"  He said quietly.  A dent formed in his forehead as he thought to himself.  He layed his arms on his knees again.  Aiden rubbed his chin, thinking.  He messed with one of his peircings.

[Megan.]

She looked at him and smiled, "I see, I see.  Well why is it confusing?  You can tell me."she said to him and smiled.  She watched as he messed with one of his peircings.

"Don't do that!"she said as she pushed his hand away.  "Now it is all messed up."she added and fixed it, her hands were cold when she fixed it.

"There...all better!"she said to him.

[Aiden]

Aiden smiled as Megan fixed his peircing.  He noticed that her hands we oddly cold, like his always were.  "Thanks"  He said after she was done.  Aiden's smile fell as he thought about what he was going to say.

"Well...she likes this other guy..."  Aiden replied simply and quietly.  He frowned a little bit.  He flipped his hair out of his eyes as he looked out through the horizon, watching the waves as they hit the shore.

[Megan.]

She looked at him and nodded, "I see, I see."she said to him.  "Nate?...yea....he likes her to."she said to him.

"Well if you....like her.....then....go get her?"she said to him now not smileing.  She  looked out at the water again..moving so that her legs weren't crossed the were now out in frount of her.

"Its all up to you."she said quitely.

[Aiden]

"Well...the complicated part is that shes supposed to be telling him that it won't work out between them..."  Aiden paused in the middle of his sentence.  "I don't think she has yet.  And I know, that even if she does leave him...a part of her will always still love him..."  He finished and sighed a deep sigh.

Aiden looked at Megan.  "I'm sorry...about telling you this.  I just wanted someone to talk to"  He said quietly.  He adjusted where he was sitting and leaned forward a little with his arms still resting on his knees.

[Megan.]

"Well....to tell you the truth it really doesn't matter if she loves him or not.  The thing the matters is...."she said and then paused.,".....The thing is.....do you love her?"she said to him.

She looked at him,  "Even if she does or even if she doesn't.  You will always have people who love you."she said to him and then got up for a minute and took her hoodie off and walked over to the water and got in to get all the sand off of her.  She had alwso done this a thousand times.

She looked back at him sitting there then back at the water.
