Hearing Jared say that he loved her brightened Jasna's day. She smiled as she kissed Jared again. Maybe it was getting to be too much but Jasna wanted to make it up for all those years they had missed out.

Being with Jared helped her feel much better. If anything, Jasna would never let go of him. All those years of admiration paid off. All those years of staring at the back of his head, stealing glances behind her book, they were starting to come together in this one moment. It was the perfect moment and she tried her hardest not to ruin it. But looking into Jared's eyes only made her want him even more. Every kiss held a meaning for Jasna and she only hoped that Jared could understand what she was feeling.

This new love, it was something Jasna wasn't sure of. But she took it and it gave her Jared. Maybe it was time to start trusting it again. She stayed in his arms, more than ready to be there forever.

Jared wasn't surprised to be taken back into a kiss. She seemed so happy, excited, and most of all in love. All those feeling Jared returned in his eyes and in the kiss that they shared. The passionate kiss that made up for all those years they had missed out.

Jared had loved Jasna ever since they had first met but had never known what that meant until this moment. He didn't know why he had never noticed this passionate love before. This love that seemed would never cease. Jared returned her kiss with his as they lay together on the dirt in District 6. Jared's arms wrapped around her as she did to him as they were finally together after all those years.

Jared was sure now that this was no secret crush or just another childhood love. This was true love. The kind that they spoke of in fairy tales where the prince and the princess live happily ever after in a castle. To tell the truth, Jared would live anywhere with Jasna, the wonderful girl that he had loved all his life. He pulled away from the kiss for a moment to say to Jasna, "I'm so sorry I never realized that I loved you sooner .... it would have been so less complicated."

This kiss was just as good as the previous ones but it was special in its own way. Jasna believed that perhaps it was just the thought of having found somebody to love was what made this such a special moment for her. She never wanted to leave it but she knew sooner or later, there would be a time when it would all have to stop. But Jasna was going to treasure every moment with Jared until that end finally came.

Hearing those words, Jasna could only smile. "Maybe it was supposed to be this way. Maybe...we were supposed to battle for it, to finally recognize this. Jared, I love you and even though I couldn't say this before, I still loved you. Ever since we were little, I wanted to be with you. And being here, with you, is more than enough for me." Jasna smiled into Jared's eyes. How much she had wanted to say that and now that she could, it was as if a huge weight was lifted off of her chest. Every worry, every concern, every fear...it all fluttered away as she stayed in Jared's arms, knowing that they were together.

Jared listened to her speak about how she had always been in love with him. He could tell by the way that she said it that she felt relieved that she could get it out of her mouth, as if she had been trying to for so long. "Yeah, I have always had feelings for you although I didn't always know what they meant ... now I do, Jasna .... now I know that I have always loved you."

Jared's hands moved to her back as he smiled into her eyes. She looked so happy that it made Jared smile and be happy. He had wanted to be with hre for so long although he might never have known it unless what had happened to his sister did. Everything did have a reason for happening. Now he knew this. Jared put his forehead against Jasna's, lips now inches away as he whispered to her. "I never want to leave you, Jasna."

Jasna was beaming inside. How strange feelings were. They were like the small puzzles that she spent hours solving. Sure, it took so much work to solve them but it was all worth it in the end. Lying down, she knew that it was worth it. It was time for her to give the small brass ring to Bridgit. Maybe all of this would help her little sister the same way it did her. Suddenly, Jasna realized how lucky she was. She had a supporting family, Jared loved her...maybe living here wasn't all too bad.

Jasna's face heated up as she heard the soft whisper. It felt so gentle against her lips. She could feel the blush rise up as she realized how she never wanted Jared to go either. "I never want to leave you either, Jared." She paused a bit as mused over an idea. "Do you think it's possible? For us to be together...forever? I mean, my life revolves around the idea that everything that happens must eventually end. But do you think...that for once, we can challenge that? That we can stay together forever?" Jasna looked somewhere else. She was ashamed of voicing her concerns like this but she had to say it. It was in her nature to know the answer.

Jared's heart was beating like fireworks on the fourth of July. He usually didnt know what to say at a time like this but with Jasna everything was so much ... different. She was so special and wonderful. He truthfully never wanted to leave her ... but didn't every sidewalk have an end? Didn't every road have to stop? "No," Jared thought, "For Jasna I'll buy all the cement I need."

Jared listened as she said that everything had to end at some point. "Not everything has to end, Jasna. There doesn't have to be an end to this tunnel. If you were thinking of ..." Jared hesitated a moment, not knowing what to say for a moment. "Marriage ... then ... I don't know what to say, Jasna...even if that wasn't what you were thinking I love you enough to spend the rest of my life with you but ... but ... we are so young." Jared waited for her to respond.

Jasna smiled to herself. Marriage? No, she had not considered that at all. Although they had known each other for so long, they were still far too young. "I think just being together is good enough for me. I don't have any expectations really. I just...I'm afraid. I don't want this to end and...I don't know how to keep it from ending."

Jasna was red again. Admitting this was just as difficult. "I hope the tunnel never ends. I don't want it to." Jasna kept her face serious. Despite the hilarity of Jared's proposition, she knew she couldn't take this lightly. It was challenging and something new. Only this time, Jasna couldn't view this as a puzzle; it wasn't quite the same. She took Jared's hand in hers and squeezed it. She still wanted to be reassuring; she wanted to give Jared hope even though she didn't have hope herself.

Jared listened as she responded to his proposition. He understood the response although it saddened him. Their relationship may end if they didn't do something to prevent that from happening. But what? What could they do to keep this love alive? Jared looked into her beautiful eyes. They were so full of wonder and he knew she didnt know what to do either.

"Jasna ... I dont know what else we can do to keep this ... this love from ending. The only response I can think of is marriage or running away ... both seem highly risky and we just discovered our love. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts." He then lay back down with her, him on top of her as they lay in the dirt. He leaned into her and kissed her passionately again, feeling the warmth of her lips on his. What would they do?

Jasna could feel the soft dirt pressing on her back as Jared laid on top of her. Marriage was only a distant thought for her but if it meant being with Jared, she would wait for however many years if that's what it took. In all truths, Jasna had considered running away but she couldn't ever bring herself to leave her family. She was so close to them...to sever the ties would be heartbreaking for her. Was there any other option besides marriage or running away? Most likely, there wasn't. So did it really have to end?

Hearing Jared say to make the most out of it made Jasna both happy and sad. They would be together as long as possible but his tone...it sounded as if it was all going to end soon. As if the end was approaching and Jared could see it. Not wanting him to leave, Jasna hooked both arms around Jared's neck as they kissed. She pulled away for a bit. "Do you think we could wait a few years? To get married? Or would it be too much?" Jasna was so hopeful that this idea would work. If they could love each other for just a bit longer, they could be bonded officially and be with each other forever. But it was the wait that made her anticipated. She waited, wondering what Jared would think of this.

Jared was shocked by her response. He had thought she was against the marriage idea that he had laid out for her. Jared thought about it. His arms were behind her back as he looked into her eyes. He could see the sincerity, the hopefulness inside of her. Jared wondered what would happen if he said yes. It would change his life forever. But he would be with Jasna ... it was all so complicated.

"Jasna ... I would ... love to marry you in a few years but ... what happens if ... well what happens if something happens?" Jared smiled, as if assuring her that he was in on it but he just didnt know whether or not it would work. "Don't take it the wrong way ... I love you, but ... what if we dont love eachother as much as we do right now?" Jared kissed her gently on the forehead, waiting for an answer.

Jasna gently smiled. She understood Jared's concerns, she honestly did. It was something she had worried about as well. She knew how easily it was to fall out of love...but hadn't they been in love for so long? Or was it starting to wear down already? Was it moving downhill? In a few years, Jasna could only hope that Jared would still be there for her. But maybe it was too much to hope that they would still be in this much love. What was rational to her only seemed to meet complications.

"I think...I would rather chance it...then not try at all. As much as I don't want anything to happen, I can't predict what will happen in the future. But for once, I would rather take the chance than just leave it be. I want to be with you that much." The smile was gone from her lips but it was still retained in her eyes. She wanted the seriousness to show but at the same time, she wanted Jared to know that she really was in love with him...and that she would do whatever she could to show it.

Jared noticed the show of emotion in Jasna's eyes. She was being truthful and he knew it but they both knew how easy it was to fall out of love. Was it already happening to them? Were they really in love? Jared's face continued being serious but inside Jared was quaking with fear. He didn't want to leave her but change was so easy for him. He would really have to try to stay in love with her ...

"Jasna, let's run away together. Leave all of this behind while we still can. We can ... be our own people ... we could start a family and ..." Jared was at a loss for words. "Would you do that?" It was off the wall but it would be worth it. Would she even do it though? Did she care that much for him? It was all so different than he had expected. Jared now realized something ... It was now ... or never.

Run....away...? Jasna's insides started to knot. Could she really bring herself to do that? She loved Jared so much but to leave her family as well? It was such a difficult choice. Now she understood why the older generations would sigh whenever they saw a young couple. It was so hard to be young and in love. All the decisions that had to be made...it was too much. Jasna started to cry.

"I...can't. I can't leave my parents. I can't leave Bridgit. My family...they need me. They depend on me to do well in school, in life. I can't just leave them all behind." Jasna's cries slowly turned to sobs. She wanted to be with Jared so much but she knew her family needed her. How hard this decision was. "I'm so sorry. I love you but I love my family too." Jasna brought her hands to her eyes to wipe away the tears that were flowing way too fast. It hurt her so much to say that and she was afraid. What would happen now? Would Jared leave her? Find another girl who was more than willing to run away with him? Inside, Jasna was a mess.

Jared frowned. He reached his hand to wipe away the tears he knew all too well from her face. He then grabbed her hands in his as he looked into her eyes. Just as he was about to tell her it was alright he felt the pain. He had been shot. It all hit him at once. The pain, the realization, everything. He had just been shot in the arm by a peacekeeper. He didn't know where he was but he was somewhere.

Jared fell to the ground in a heap, gasping for air as he lay there. He grasped his wound with his other hand as he sat on the ground, crying. "Jasna," He managed to get out, "Run away from here .... they dont .... dont have to hurt you too." Jared knew why this had just happened. It was much to late to be out and about. Jasna needed to be safe. Jasna didnt need to die.

Jasna stared at the wound, not knowing what to do. Jared was shot and she was positive it was the peacekeepers. But why? Why shoot him? They hadn't done anything wrong! And why didn't they shoot her too? Jasna wanted to stay by Jared's side, keep him safe...help him. It was all so scary and Jasna's mind was trying to find the most reasonable action to take.

When Jared told Jasna to run, she had half the mind to not listen to him, to stay by his side and take whatever the consequence was. But when she heard the desperation behind his voice, Jasna knew that it was either now or never. Tears started rolling down her face again. Could she bring herself to do it? To run away and leave Jared behind? Before turning away, she took Jared's face in her hands and gently kissed him. She didn't know if it was going to be the last time she could do that, if it was going to be the last time she ever saw him. She whispered, "I'm so sorry. I love you, Jared." Not waiting for a response, she bolted as fast as she could. While she was running towards her house, she was wiping tears off of her face. They were moving down too fast for her. Before she could reach her house, she collapsed next to the side of a random house. Leaning her head back on it, she started sobbing, holding her knees to her chest. Was it already over?
