"Do you want to get out of here?" Jason asks after a while.

"Yeah," I say while stepping out of his embrace, My eyes stinging with unshed tears.

"Today I will not cry! Today I will not cry!" I chant to myself.

Jason takes my hand in his and I lean into his shoulder.

We exit the training hall and Jason leads me to a small path that looks like it leads to a forest.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Someplace where we can be alone." He says while squeezing my hand.

"We can also be alone at home, can't we?" I ask curiously. His face lights up at the word home.

"This place is special. No one has ever been there, not even..." He trails off.

"Amelia?" I finish.

He nods in response.

"Although, if you still want to go home then it's fine." He says while turning back and heading to the direction we just came from.

"No!" I say quickly and run after him, I grab him and hug him from behind.

His body becomes still at my actions.
