*In a River*

*Branch emerged from the water panting*

Branch: Poppy! Poppy! where are you?!

*Branch stuck his head back underwater and saw poppy sinking down*

*Branch's eyes widened and he swam down to try and grab her*

*Branch grabbed the back of her dress with his mouth and dragged her to shore*

*when they got to the shore, branch put her on the ground*

Branch: Poppy? poppy c'mon wake up

Poppy: *coughs out water* Branch?

Branch: *sighs of relief* yeah it's me, are you hurt?

Poppy (Choking up): Branch...i messed up real bad

*Branch wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back to try and comfort her*

Branch: Hey shh shh it's okay it's okay...look i'm sorry i made you upset it's just that...i care so much about you and your safety and i love you with all my heart and if someone ever took you away from me i would do whatever it takes to get you back in my arms no matter what

Poppy: but you sided with violet instead of me...why?

Branch: Poppy...look me in the eye

Branch: Because No matter what would happen i would always try my best to protect you and keep you safe that was why i sided with violet not because i didn't love you anymore...but to protect you i would never stop loving you until i die and i'm sorry i didn't side with you

Poppy: *sniffles* It- it's okay branch and i'm sorry i told you i wished you were never my boyfriend in the first place, i was the one being a jerk and-
