Branch's P.O.V

I ran as fast as I could to find Poppy. If anything happens to her, I'll NEVER forgive myself. I already lost my grandmother, I don't want to lose Poppy, or I'll turn grey again. After a few minutes of searching, I heard crying & followed it. I see Poppy under a willow tree & walked closer to her. Seeing her cry like that really hurts me. I will never allow my Poppy to be in tears again.

Branch: Poppy?

Poppy: Branch.

I sat next to her & hugged.

Poppy: How could he say something like that?! He has no idea how much it hurts!

Branch: Shhh. I'm right here, Poppy.

She was still in tears, until I thought of a way to calm her down.

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged, oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

The darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

This world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just, call me up

'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

Poppy looked up at him and smiled.

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

I see your true colors

Shining through (true colors)

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow

Ooh ooh ooh like a rainbow

Branch: Feeling alright, now?

Poppy: Yea.

Branch: Don't worry about a thing. I'm always there for you, because I love you.

Poppy: I love you, too.

I pulled her in for a short kiss & helped her stand up.

Branch: Now, let's get home.

Poppy: Kay.
