George was sat against the infamous tree, with Emi sitting between his legs, her back against his chest.

His arms were wrapped lightly around her.

They watched the forest around them as they sat in silence.

Once again, he was thinking about being at college, women in his bed telling him that they loved him, but only when  his hand was buried inside of them.

None of them really loved him.

Even if the thought that they did, it didn't mean that they knew him.

He didn't want anything from them other than sex.

No matter how much people made it seem bad to love sex, George couldn't help it.

It was just a part of who he was.

He liked to drink, smoke, and have sex.

In moderation, of course.

He wasn't a complete fucking animal.

He buried his face in Emi's soft hair.

Emi wasn't like that.

She was soft, delicate...

She was everything that he loved.

Truly loved.

Sure, he got riled up by 'big' girls at clubs on weekends, but this was a different kind of love.

His life seemed to by exciting, but it wasn't.

These things only happened on weekends.

The parties and such.

He was actually very clever, and he wasn't bad at school.

He studied during the week, only leaving for some fast food, maybe.

Perhaps a walk through a field, or a late night walk around the small town, just enjoying the nature and calm of the night.

It was just the weekends that he enjoyed getting loud.

Emi didn't mind a party, but she wasn't always the first to get invited either.

It's not that people didn't like her, or that she lacked friends...

Really, she was friends with everyone.

No one hated her, there was no reason to.

She never got in anyone's way, she was just... there.

And people... They didn't mind.

When you got into things like this, it was hard to explain everything and every detail without missing something important.

Missing...

Forgetting...

George...

He was forgetting something.

Something important.

But god, he couldn't figure out what it was.

It was dark now.

The forest was dark, and the cold was setting in.

Emi had grown tired.

Her eyes were closed, though she was awake.

Her head was rested against his shoulder, almost underneath his chin.

"Emi," George said lowly, his lips almost pressing against her ear.

She shivered lightly.

"Yeah?"

"We should get you back home, now." he said.

Emi sighed, slowly moving to get up.

George kept his hands on her waist until she was out of reach.

Something was wrong.

He felt strange.

She rubbed her eyes gently with a sleeve covered hand, and offered the other hand to George.

He felt a small smile tug at his lips as he took her hand, standing up and brushing the dirt off of his pants.

He threw an arm loosely around her shoulders, and she leaned into him sleepily as they began walking.

She stumbled a bit after a few minutes.

"Alright," he said, "Come on."

He stopped walking and turned around, bending his knees and putting his hands out.

"What are you doing?" she asked, her small voice taking him back to the time when they were young.

"Hop on."

Usually Emi would protest, not wanting to be carried, but this time there was a few seconds of silence, and then George felt Emi slowly climb onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck, and burying her face in the crook of it gently, her breath fanning his neck.

He stood there for a few moments in awe.

He carried her home in silence.

The next morning, Emi had gone to school.

She'd left George a note, not wanting to wake him from his slumber.

She was unaware, but George had just managed to fall asleep about 5 minutes before Emi woke up.

He'd been up the whole night, an odd feeling keeping him awake and driving him crazy.

Emi was at her school, taking the final.

George woke with a start, around 30 minutes after he had fallen asleep.

He was shaking.

His breathing was quick, he felt that air wasn't properly entering his lungs.

His head was beginning to spin lightly, and even his stomach was quivering.

He quickly made his way to the bathroom.

He looked into the mirror, into his own eyes.

Dilated.

They were dilated.

The medication.

He'd forgotten the medication.

He moved quickly and quietly to his suitcase.

He thought for a few moments, "What they hell would I be stressing about?"

Then he remembered the college, the women, the conflict, Emi everything and he shook his head, falling to the floor in front of his suitcase.

"Fuck," he cursed.

He continued reaching for his bag, unzipping it and quickly gripping the medicine, undoing the lid and taking a pill dry.

He closed the bottle and dropped it next to him, curling up and breathing as steadily as he could.

Seizures don't usually have warnings.

He was lucky this time.

He made sure to stay on his side, just incase.

He closed his eyes and waited for the odd feeling to go away.

He needed the medicine to drug his system so that it would tire everything.

After relaxing for a bit, he found that he wanted to sleep.

He slowly picked himself up off the ground, going back to the bed, laying down and getting comfortable.

"I hope Emi does well..." he whispered before falling asleep.

He couldn't wait for her to get home.

When he had woken up some time later, he still felt some of that drowsiness.

He stretched, sitting up and grabbing the pack of cigarettes from his jacket.

He walked out to her backyard, sitting in the chair closest to the door as he lit it, taking a long drag, holding in the smoke, and then letting it all go.

He relaxed slightly, leaning back in the chair and fidgeting with his hands lightly.

He shouldn't forget his medicine again.

But it was over now.

So, he enjoyed the smoke that filled his lungs and danced around him when released into the atmosphere.

The weather was nice.
