To Break My Heart

Chapter Twenty One

"Let's set up camp here for the night," Aster announces breaking the silence. I nod but my lips still tingle where he kissed me.

Aster starts a fire and I lay die on the ground. It's not the most comfortable thing ever, but it will have to do for tonight.

Once Aster is done, he comes and lays down next to you. I shiver. Aster must notice because he wraps his arms around me.

"Aster," I say, "what are you like? You seem to know so much about me, so what about you?" Aster shifts.

"Well," he begins, "my parents died when I was five. Mr. Cox took me in."

"Wait," I interrupt him, "who's Mr. Cox." It turn around and face Aster. Aster just looks at me confused.

"You know?" He tired to explain, "the guy behind all of this. The guy who wanted Logan?" I shake my head 'no.'

" It's not really important who is he is. Anyway," Aster continues, "he treated me like I was his son until one day. He- he just changed-" Aster stops mid sentence, "let's just not talk about his any more, okay?"

"Okay," I reply, "Goodnight Aster."

"Goodnight Sage." Aster kisses me in the forehead, and I quickly fall asleep, with Aster's arms around me.
