You Won't Be Leaving My Arms Ever. [Craig Owens] One.

“I know it because our love is far too strong.” I answered. “It’s too strong for us to forget about one another.”

I sat on my couch, staring blankly at whatever was on the television. I sighed and lifted up my legs, so I was now laying down. I reached up the side of my couch and pulled a blanket down over me. I lowered the volume on the television, snuggled into the couch and blanket, and softly closed my eyes - drifting into a calm and peaceful sleep.
Craig’s P.O.V
I sat outside, staring at the setting sun. Watching as the sky went from a light blue to a beautiful orange-purple color. I stretched my legs out and slowly leaned backward onto the grass. Crossing my arms behind my head, I sighed and shut my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
Two teens, couldn’t have been more than seventeen years old, lay peacefully side my die in a field full of flowers of all different colors and sizes. The rising sun set a picture perfect image around them. The boy sat up suddenly, a look of concern placed on his face.
“Melissa?” He asked the girl laying next to him. She slowly sat up, looking the boy directly in his eyes.
“Yeah Craig?” She asked back, wondering what her boyfriend’s clever mind had to say.
“Let’s run away.” He told her. “Far away. That way, we…we won’t be separated, ever.” The girl was alarmed and had a difficult time finding an answer.
“Craig…” She shook her hand, blond hair swaying in the soft morning breeze. “What?”
“We can just run away, from everything.” He answered, gazing softly into her blue eyes.
“Running away from our problems.” She began. “It, it won’t solve anything Craig.” The boy stood up, pulling the girl up as well, holding onto her hand as he watched the morning sky.

“But it can.” He whispered after a few silent moments. “It can, it’s possible. It has to be” The girl bit her lip, staring at her now quiet boyfriend, wondering what he was thinking. “Do you want us to be together forever?” He pulled the girl close to him.
“Of course I do.” She told him, tears filling up in her eyes. His eyes locked with hers once more.
“Then don’t let them take you away from me.” He whispered. “Don’t let them steal our love.” A stray tear slowly rolled down his cheek.
I bolted upright, heart thumping in my chest. I breathed in heavily a few times.
“I need to find her.” I told myself, more determined them ever before.
Melissa’s P.O.V
I jumped off my couch, hand to my chest, feeling the pulse of my beating heart.
“I need to find him.” I whispered to myself.
