Behind Enemy Lines (Day Three)

Jaden noticed the tears in her eyes, felt the pain in her voice as she spoke. It confirmed what he knew whenever she spoke of her sister in the past tense. He knew he can never fully understand her pain, but he remembered the voice that called to him when he believed his brother to be dead. He could relate to that. He got up and took her in his arms. That's when he finally noticed what was in his left hand. A beautiful blue petaled flower that had purple and pink going through it that despite having been in there the whole time had not had any damage done to it. "Do you know how a flower starts out? Just a little seed. One little seed that can be easily crushed or consumed before it could begin to gestate and bloom. It takes the right soil, the right amount of water and sunlight, and sometimes the right person to help it along. But when all those things happen," at this he presents her with the flower, "it becomes something truly beautiful." He looked into her eyes as he said all this and wiped a stray tear off her face.
