Song: Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran

I fell a thousand feet and I was about to land in the water. My stomach felt like it was in my throat. I couldn't scream because my jaw was clenched and I couldn't move it. This is hell. This isn't thrill or excitement. Why did he do this?

The water was approaching me faster and faster. Oh my god I'm going to die. Oh my god why is my husband such a jerk?

"Why don't you look around a little boyo? You might see something you like." Dianite chuckled in my head.

I opened my eyes just a little. Everything was so...beautiful. It was like seeing all of Dagruns beauty in one big blur. I forgot about my fear of death. I forgot about Ianita. And Tom. And everything. I just took in the sky and the town and my heart beat that was going a thousand beats a minute. I remember laughing at how good it felt to finally have no worries, before plunging into ice cold water and being completely paralyzed.

It was like my muscles were frozen. I didn't move. I clenched my eyes together in hopes of being able to disappear, but it didn't work. I regretted everything. The fall was amazing, the water was not. I could feel myself sinking. I'm going to die.

"You close those eyes too often Sparklez." I heard Dianite say. Does he want me to open them again? But there's nothing to look at! Just death and water!

I did it anyways. Tom was literally two inches from my face, a smirk on his blue lips. He looked so cute underwater...so innocent and sweet. His arms slowly snaked around my waist, pulling me close to his chest. We kissed, and the ice in my veins melted. He was warm. He made me feel so warm and safe. Now I know why I married him. When I kiss him, I never want to let go. I'll never get tired of this feeling. We were in our own little underwater world and I loved it.

We pulled away after minute or two. We didn't dare move anything else though. His hands remained rested above my hips mine knotted in his blue hair. Staring into his brown eyes just made me feel even warmer. I wanted to tell him that I was sorry for everything and that I loved him, but we were underwater so I couldn't.

Wait. We're underwater. I need air.

Tom saw my panicked look and he just rolled his eyes. He took my arm and swam up to the surface, pulling me behind him. When I broke the surface, I was cold again. The water was freezing, but I guess I hadn't felt it when I was making out with Tom.

"Dear g-god it's cold," I shuddered. A hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me next to a warm chest.

"How's this for a heater?" He chuckled in my ear. Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.

"Ch-cheese ball..." I said through my chattering teeth.

"Awwww I'm sorry it's cold Sparkley pants. Let's get you back on land." He laughed and kissed my temple. Jerk.

When we were swimming back to land, I didn't see Tiff or Lola anywhere. And when I started swimming back to where we first were when we got here, Tom stopped me and said I was going the wrong way.

"Tom that's where we were when we first got here. Do you not remember?"

He was swimming in another direction, directly towards the waterfall. "I know that. I wanna show you something."
I sighed and reluctantly followed him. I don't care where we go, as long as it's out of this water.

When we were directly underneath the waterfall, I stopped, but Tom kept swimming. And then without warning he dived into the water and disappeared.

"Tom?"

The water remained still. Where the heck did he go?

I waited. And waited. And waited some more. And then I faced the facts: my husband was gone.

I heard a voice growl in annoyance. "He wanted you to follow him, Sparkley boy."

"Follow him where?" I was not going back under water. I'm so cold I'm convulsing.

"Under the waterfall. Go."

"It's cold..." I whined.

"GO UNDER THE DAMN WATERFALL!"

I flinched at his yelling, and he sighed. "I apologize for yelling...it's just sometimes you make me furious with all of your constant questions. Just go under. Please."

"Okay..." I sucked in a breath and dove under. As soon as I was sure I was past the falls, I resurfaced.
I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't what I got.

It was a cave. But it wasn't just a normal cave, it was...decorated? Blankets and pillows littered the floor, and I literally mean there was a blanket covering every inch of the cave floor. The cave walls had pictures painted on them. I recognized a few of them. One was lady Ianite, and she was smiling with her hair flowing around her and her eyes closed in bliss. Another one was a bright red rose. It sort of looked like the one Capsize gave me. And then there was a picture of the scales of balance. It was like someone took the time to paint everything that I ever cared about onto a rock wall. It was beautiful. And that wasn't all that amazed me. There were actual photos on the wall, photos of me and of all my friends. Even the ones that weren't here anymore. Everyone looked so happy in all of them. It made me happy just looking at them. And standing in the middle of the cave was Tom, wearing a cute giddy smile and hiding his hands behind his back.

"So...you like it?" He asked shyly.

"...what is this place?"

"It's your happy place! When you're sad or upset about something, you can just come here! Do you like it? The paintings and stuff? The blankets were harder to do since like no one in the place knits-"

"You did all of this for me? All of it?"

"Well, I sort of needed some help. I met up with Matt yesterday and he helped make the waterfall and the cave. Tiff and Lola helped with the paintings and I made the blankets. I made them all out of the same stuff I made the first one out of. And you really liked that one so..."

He made me a happy place. And my friends helped him. This place was for me.

"Do you like it? You still haven't said anything about it. It's cool if you don't. Really."

"Tom. I love it so much. Thank you. I don't deserve any of this stuff at all." I can't believe he actually did this for me. That's why he wanted to wait a day before going on the date. He was planning all of this.

"Yeah you do. You deserve all of the happiness in the world. You don't deserve all of the terrible things that happen to you. Sometimes I wish I could just take you to a place where everything bad goes away...so I thought about something like this. Do you think it needs anything? Something else you want?"

"There is one thing..."

"Whatever you want I'll give it to you. Just tell me."

"I want an idiot with blue hair to share this beautiful place with."

His smile grew wider. "You got it." He held out his arms for me to go into, and I did that exact thing.

"Let's stay here forever."

"Yeah. Let's do that."
