Jackson couldn’t help but smile stupidly down at the burnt logs that lay in the middle of the opening. The trees completely enclosed the area and it felt so private and comfortable. It felt natural. He watched as Lydia walked over to the tree, the two had carved their names there when they first started dating. It seemed like a life time ago, like the two had already spent so many years together and gone through so many things. And they had, they had done so many things together that they hadn’t done with anyone else. When Lydia mentioned the old tree house he slightly gasped. “I forgot about the tree house.” He chuckled and thought back to when they were kids, his parents and her parents all came to help them build it. At the time he didn’t know he was adopted though… Avoiding that thought he smiled at her. “Wanna go see if we can find it?”
Being with Jackson just felt natural, before he was her boyfriend, he was her friend, one of her only in fact. As a child, she had been an absolute terror but Jackson looked past all the “evil” and befriend her. They had spent hours going on made up adventures or lying in the grass looking up at the vast expanse of the starry night. It was during these times she believed she really learned to love him, and that love was deepened when they started dating. Lydia nodded eagerly when he mentioned the tree house. “I think I know where it is” she told him extending her hand as she lead him through the thicket of trees and pointed up the small wooden house perched a top a strong oak. “Do you think its safe to go up there?” she asked tentatively as she put one hand on the ladder.
