We saunter farther through the trees, it's cool almost cold, and I'm glad I brought my leather jacket. As we came to the end of the trees it opens up into a lake. It's breathtaking, the trees cast their reflection on the water making a dark silhouette against the blue. The water is still but when the wind blows the sun's reflection makes the ripples glimmer. The sun is semi-circled lowered behind a forested hill bouncing off its surface as It is sunset.

Jason throws a small rock that breaks the surface of the water and churns it slightly interrupting my daydream. I turn my attention to him, he seems drowned in thoughts.

"You know Emily, you're the first person that I've ever brought here" he turns his gaze to me and look at me straight in the eyes, I can feel his tenderness. I'm touched, really.

"It's beautiful," I say not knowing what to add.

He takes a few steps back and sits down, I sit right next to him keeping a little distance. Both admiring the magical sunset.

"I've always been possessive over things I like or I find special. And this place is very important to me to invade and have some space, relax, think or just escape. Since I'm very often surrounded by people, sometimes I feel-I feel like suffocating." he takes a deep breath and continues "People know you but they don't know the real you, you know? they don't even try to know me, they don't care. All they ever want is to be around you, to be seen with you for their own sake" At this point I'm kind of surprised, I wasn't expecting this, I wasn't expecting him to open up to me like this. Also, e doesn't seem like the kind of person to have these kinds of thoughts. But again I don't know him well or after this, I don't know him at all.

Following what Jason just shared with me, I deduce he's kind of a celebrity or a very known person, a businessman maybe, I've seen his house, it's huge and luxurious but I haven't really thought about his work, actually, it had never crossed my mind, until now. But of course I won't ask him, it doesn't even matter to me, and since he didn't say anything about it, I guess he's not fond of me finding out either.

"Anyway, now it's your turn, tell me something about you, something that it's no written on the papers" Jason beams at me.

I'm not like him or Hailee I can't open up to people, not this fast. It's very selfish of me, I know. But this is who I 'am, mostly because I feel like telling someone something personal about me will make me weaker, vulnerable, will expose me, and they will know me well, and once they know me they will break me, like I've given them something that they can use it against me. it's just how it goes, an endless circle 'Tell, Know, Break'. I've been through it before and I swore I wouldn't do it again, and I'm counting on keeping that promise.

I can see Jason waiting for me to tell him something, anything. But I won't tell him and he should know that he mustn't expect from me more than what's written in the papers, more than what they told him about me which I'm sure is not a big think like he said 'just basic things'. Before I can say anything to him, my phone rings, it's Hailee, I breathe a sigh of relief that Jason notices, Hailee is my 'life saver'. I was figuring out ways to avoid telling him, ways to change the subject, but I guess there's no need now, is there?

I get up and answer "Send me the address right now I'm coming to see you and I'm not taking no for an answer, I've been worrying about you since morning and I'm not going to calm down till I see you and see by my own fucking eyes that you're ok!" Hailee exclaims without taking a breath.

"Holy fuck Hailee cool down. Like seriously there's really nothing to worry about, I'm-"

"SEND ME THE DAMN ADDRESS EM" I burst into a laugh, I appreciate the fact that she's worried about me, but she's really exaggerating.

"Alright Hail, I'll send it to you right now"

I hang up with Hail and turn to Jason who was watching me this whole time.

"I'm sorry Jason but we should go, I really enjoyed it here" Apart from Hailee who's freaking out to see me, it's almost dark anyway, so if we stay a little longer, we'll probably get lost in the woods although he's used to coming in here, It's huge, it's very likely to get lost.

"Is everything ok?" Jason asks observing my facial expression.

"Uh, yes yes, it's just my best friend Hailee, she's still worried about me and she insisted on seeing me. So is it ok if I send her your home address?"

"Yeah sure. Come on let's go it's getting colder anyway" I smile at him and we make our way back through the woods but with free hands this time.
