The Border

"Braelynn Harris." Logan said quietly. "I will always love you."

"I will always love you too." Brae whispered.

Logan nodded. He kissed her one last time, lingering for a few moments. Then, he turned around and walked away.

Brae watched him leave.

And Logan left, fading into the fog beyond the camp and stepping into new beginnings.

Brae tried to stop herself from crying but she just couldn't. She sat down as tears began to fall down her cheeks.

Hannah found herself walking to the border. She hadn't seen Zak in days. He hadn't even told her he was leavening. She sat down, some how hoping that she would see him.

Kora walks over then sees Hannah, "Han?"

Hannah sees her then starts to kneel to the ground crying.


Kora rushes next to her and hugs her as Hannah cries into her shoulder.

Justin walked to the border and saw Hannah crying. He rushed towards Hannah and Kora. "Hannah? Are you okay?" He asked.

Hannah wipes her tears away and stiffens, "I'm fine."
Kora stands up and walks over to Justin, "I think you should talk to her. She looks pretty upset." She then gives him a quick kiss, "I'll see you later." She says with a small smile of concern, then walks away.

Justin nodded. He looked at Hannah and hugged her. "You're not fine. What's wrong?"

Hannah sighs, "Oh, it could just be the fact that my boyfriend had been gone for days and didn't tell me he was even leavening, or it could be that one of my best friends lost an entire arm in a fight with that Quinton kid, and now John is completely different and wont even leave his cabin and I just..." At this point she broke down and started to cry again.

Justin held her close. "I will always be here for you, Hannah... Always."

Hannah just rests her head on his shoulder, "I'm sorry." She says as she takes some deep breaths and wipes her eyes.

Justin didn't need any context. He knew exactly what she meant. "I forgive you." He was going to find himself in a difficult situation. He loved Hannah more than anyone but he was with Kora. He had to give it a shot. Should he dump Kora a second time and make her despise him and never forgive him but he gets the love of his life or say no to the girl he loved, watch her fall in love again while he was with a girl he loved but less than Hannah. He wasn't sure.

Hannah looks at him, "What about you? I know that look something is on your mind too."

Jason crossed the border, listening to music.

"Oh it's nothing." Justin said. "My scenario still requires a highly unlikely string of events. I'm overthinking and thinking too far ahead."

Hannah gives him a look, "Come on Justin. I know you better than that. Now what's on your mind?" She saw the new kid but didn't look at him. She wasn't really in the mood at the current moment.

"Seriously, it's not important." Justin said. "The odds of this scenario i'm thinking of happening is low." He sighed.

Hannah just shakes her head, "I give up. Its your life, and I'm too exhausted from everything to bother. Oh Kora told me you got back together with her. Hurt her again, and you'll find yourself losing friends." She says as she gets up.

"I'd love to tell you, Hannah, but I think it's better if I forget I even thought about it." Justin said. He addressed her comment about Kora. "Noted."

Jason listened to the music and nodded his head to the beat.

Hannah nods , "Take care of yourself." She says and heads to the mess hall.

Justin nodded and sat there in thought. He didn't pay much notice to the new guy.

Christopher crossed the border and looked around. He was nervous but excited at the same time.
