The air was cool, ot extremly hot at all. He knew the water was going to be freezing but the urge to jump into those waters was just to much right now. He missed them. Like an old childhood memory. Some adults grow up and move away. They'll stay away for years but one day they will wander back to their old home or their old school and just look around, remembering the good times they had, wising they hadnt grown up so fast. Mitch felt the same way. He wished nothing had ever changed.
He walked, still holding onto her hand with a firm grip. He didnt want to let go. The path was a little over grown now but still very visible. It didnt look much different at all. He kept glancing toward Jessicka, making sure she was still there, as if she might disappear.The sound of the rushing water was easily heard of the calm silence of the woods. Mitch had missed this place so much. Looking over at Jessicka he grinned This water is going to be freezing He warned

The walk here was nice. The covering over the path from the over grown trees provided a nice cool shade but with the nearer they got to the water, the air seemed to be getting more and more cooler with the nearer they got the falls. It was nice walking along the path again. It had changed though. new trees where growing and old ones have gotten even older and more bigger, their leaves slowly growing back, think and green. The path had been eroded away as well. It was much lower than it was two years ago. Humans and horses must of walked along here daily for this to happen, but still, she was glad to walk the path once more and remembering the things that where two years ago and that where still the same.
The sound of the water got louder and louder and soon she could start to see the pool and a pit of the falls from where they where. She didn’t loosen her grip on Mitch’s hand, keeping a tight hold of it. She wasn’t scared to loose him again, but just feeling him, touching her once more made her feel happy inside, the smile on her kissers never leaving, like its possessing her lips.
Orbs moved back to his face as he spoke again, listening until he finished, chuckling lightly. She should of know it was going to be cold. Its free water after all and it cant be heated, not even by the sun to make it feel remotely warm.
Good, gives me more of a reason to push you in
She chuckled. It would be fun, pushing him in but like most of the times, no matter who it is, she'd fail, being to weak and all. It was fun though, trying. Now the Falls where in clear view and they looked just the same as they did last time she was here, if not more beautiful.

He looked ahead and the fall came into view. Beautiful as usual. The greens from the spring rains were overgrown and the tree's above covered almost the enitre area in shadow.
Mitch thought back to when they first met. He had been pissed about Blake moving here and leaving him behind. Those dumb guys were picking on Jess. She had been smaller and much younger looking then almost like a cute little girl but he still wasnt going to sit and watch her get picked on by those jerks. Then to find out she was all alone even made it worse. She just grew on him.
When he got back to the states he was bumbed. While Blake was out working like crazy trying to keep his mind off things Mitch was holded up in his room with his music. Blake was like one of those mom who when their husband leave clean the house like crazy. Blake submerged himself in the horses. Mitch on the other hand fell into his own little world and didnt talk or do anything. He rarely ate too. The same thing happened when his cousin died.
But now it was like old times! Green County and Jessicka. And he couldnt wait to push her into the water.
As soon as they reached the clearing Mitch released her hand and jogged over to the edge of the water. He quickly took his shirt off then his jeans, revealing his blue shorts underneath. He glanced up at her, not wanting a suprise attack. If he was going in, so was she. Well then you're coming in with me He said, joking. Do you even plan on getting in? Mitch questioned, double checking just becuase she was in a skirt

In a way, she wished she never left Green county those two years ago but going did bring some good things. She did something she loved and enjoyed, made new friends that she will never ever forget, had some laughs, a different experience and scenery. All in hand though, she did miss this place terribly, it being like her home now after living here for several years. She doesn’t even call her home in Finland home anymore. Its just a place where bad memories where created, accidents happened and horrible people got what they deserved. Only her brother lives there, that she knows of anyway. Her mother got killed several years ago and where her father is, only dog knows that. So there really is no point even going back to that place as there will be no one to welcome her.
The nearer she got to the falls, the cooler the air got and she guessed the water would be cold but t hen she knew that already anyway, without guessing. It will be chilly the first few minutes in the water but after a while, getting used to the water and you will be warm but it didn’t take her mind of going into it anyway, even if she started to freeze and turn into and Ice cube or something. It would be fun no matter what, water being freezing cold or boiling warm water. After the first few minutes it would be like you are swimming in warm water anyway until your body temperature drops and your lips turn blue from the cold, then its to cold to have fun.
She let go of Mitch's hand as he released him and followed to the edge of the water, only looking down into it. It was just as clear as it had been all those years ago, her reflection clear as anything reflected in the water. Gaze wandered to Mitch, seeing as he was sorta prepared for a swim, wearing shorts under is jeans but that could be just because of the fact that’s its started to become summer and the weather here in England is warmer than it had ever been at this time of the year. Orbs wandered down again and then back to Mitch, kissers forming to the same smile that always possessed her lips.
Yeah, I am
She spoke, sitting down on the dry earth, and taking the straps of her boots that kept them together and threw them far behind them two so they couldn’t get wet, fall in or whatever then taking the striped tight of, not wanting them getting ruined either. Gaze wandered to the water again, bending forwards and letting her hand dip into the water and swirled it around, the water not being as cold as she thought it would be.

He couldnt wait to get in the water. Taking that first gasp of air from the cold water meeting your skin then finally getting used to it and never wanting to get out. Blake would soon be wondering where he was. It was in a way a sudden change. For a week he had been hiding in his room and now he was suddenly out all day, god knows where. Blake wouldnt believe he was with Jessicka. For all he knew she was still in Finland. He'd have to fill him in sooner or later. For now the two brothers were in a two bedroom apartment. They didnt have anyy of the horse's anymore wheather they were sold or Riley did something with them after they left. And for once it was just Mitch and Blake and no one else. Mitch remembered when thier house was choas with people an animals. He missed it but then it was good to be alone at times.
Sooner or later, Mitch knew, Blake wouldnt be able to handle being away from horses and they would get one, keeping it at Hartley Wood Stables. It was only matter of time. He tossed his clothes back beside her shoes. Another reason he liked these falls was that on the bottom it was all rock. No gross mud and leaves that smelt like rot. It was just flat rock. He couldnt figure out if it was put there by people or just natural. Mitch stood on the edge beside the water and looked to Jessicka with a smirk. He spread his arms wide like wings. Ok ready! He'd give her one fair shot to push him, then it was her turn

The water still had certain coldness to it. Like when you just turned the cold tap on and the temperature of the water after you let it run for few seconds. That’s about as cold as the pool really is but it’s just her hand that she put into the water. It would feel different if your whole body goes into it. It’s the same with the pool. You put your hand into the water, think its warm and then you jump in, come up and try to swim out because it’s to cold to handle for a few minutes. It would just be the same with this water, if not colder. She could see it. Jumping in, coming up to the surface and gasping because it’s so cold. It’s a natural reaction though and everyone does it unless your twisted and like cold water and just jump in and act as if its warm bath water or something.
Her hand was still in the water, she almost laying on her stomach trying to get her arm in as far down as she could to try and reach the bottom but she couldn’t. You could see it. It was there. The water was clear enough to see it but its probably and illusion and you think its shallow and then once your in and you sink to the bottom, you only realize that its deep. Orbs wandered up to the waterfall. It was pretty high but jumping of it was fun knowing that the pool below it was deep enough since the water pressure from the waterfall eroded it away over the years. A bit of water was splashing on her aswell but that was just cooling and not the slightest but cold.
Seeing Mitch throw his clothes next to her shoes from the corner of her eyes, she looked his way and pulled her arm out of the water, sitting up and looking up to his face, a slight grin of excitement on her kissers. She slowly got up, now standing and walked behind him, ready to push him in.
Ready!
She spoke, taking one step closer and placing both hands on his back giving a slight push and felt the warmth that was giving of from him on her hands at the same time and a shame it would vanish as soon as he was in the water.

Next he felt her warm hand give a small push on his back. Mitch swayed slightly, knowing that if he wanted he could turn quickly and grab her, taking her down with him. He decided to save the slpash for her instead. He went forward toward the chilled water and jumped up, making a slpash of cold liquid in her direction.
He hit the water, eyes clossed. He had to fight to keep from yelling out from the cold. Yelling under water would be bad. He'd choke then he wouldnt want to swim anymore. The bottom came quickly. Pushing off the rocky bottom with his feet he wanted to surface as quickly as possible. Mitch, using his arms and legs, swam to the surface. Underwater there is a calm. No sound and you seem to be frozen. He thought for a second what it would be like to be a fish. Just swimming in the water all the time. Underwater was beautiful no matter where you were. It was just peaceful. Maybe he'd become a diver or something.
Finally he broke the surface and came up with a gasp- habbit. Hands whipped the water from his eyes and he looked up at her, pushing some water up splashing her once again. Ok its freezing! Mitch wasnt as pale as he used to be. He had a nice dark tan from being outside alot back at the states but from the green and the water surrounding him it reflected onto his skin, making him look pale and very cold. Jump in!

She managed to push him in to he just let himself fall. Whatever, he was in the water now and my his facial expression as he hit the water, it must be freezing. It would be so cool if like, fish where in the water. Little fish, Gold fish or whatever you get in waters like this, Cod, or whatever. You could swim with them like you swim with Dolphins, minus holding onto the fin and letting them pull you around. It's not the same but just as fun. Her imagination was still weird. Most things seem happy and Dandy, sweet and sparkly, pink and fluffy, with little white and pink unicorns cantering across pink meadows with kicking pink hearts everywhere and the towns are made out of chocolate that never goes off. Like a little child’s imagination. Just happy and far from reality. Shame things like that never happen in real life. Most things in reality are horrid, war and destruction and the sort. People should just hold hands and sing in a circle and sing happy songs, just like in those Peace programs.
More water splashed on her as Mitch fell into the water, she being more wet now that she had been from the splashes of the waterfall. It was much colder now and she now realized that the water wasn’t as cold as it was when she had her arm in it, but much colder. She took a few steps back, in fear he will come and splash her or something, not wanting to be splashed before jumping into the water herself. She noticed Mitch didn’t come up for a few seconds, but she could see him under water. It looked all calm and peaceful down there. Not cold and hard at all. few seconds later, he come back up, gasping like everyone does when they come up from the water. Water hit her again as he splashed her, words followed and her smile grew.
I will!
She said, taking small steps to the edge and looked down into the water, seeing her own reflection again and then ripples from Mitch as he was moving. She closed her eyes and took a leap into the water, the coldness feeling like a thousand bees stinging her at ones. Opening her eyes underwater, she looked around, everything was so still apart from Mitch’s legs moving a few meters away from her. Swimming up, she took a gasp of air and brushed her hair out of her face and looked to Mitch, splashing him once.

Mitch realized he didnt have anything to cover up with when he got out. Thats when it was the worst. You jump into the cold water and its bad. But after a while you get used to it and then you dont want to get out. But then you do and the air is cold jsut like the water had been. You long for a towel of blanket or even dry clothes. But this was one fo those spur of the moment things and he didnt have one. Oh well.
For a second he wondered where Jess was staying. Blake had sold the house and they were at the apartments. And how long had Jess been there? Maybe she had just gotten back or maybe she had been there for a while now. He didnt know. Sheyelled something out he didnt really hear and then the water from her splash hit him. Mitch blinked back the water from his eyes and looked over to where she had jumped. Leaning back he took a moment to float on hi back and look up. The sky was a mix of blue and gray, not exatly the sunniest day but at least there wasnt any rain. The water still felt cold to him. Glancing over he looked at her with a grin, pushing his arms through the water. Mitch moved back out to deep to touch the bottom.
So, how long have you been here..and where you staying? He asked, lightly splashing ehr with cold water

The water felt so much more colder with every second that she spend in it. She could feel her body temperature drop a little bit and her whole body shivering. Her feet felt the coldest, being in warm boots for the past few hours and now, bare foot in the water. Goosebumps also covered her bare arms and other part of visible flesh. She couldn’t feel the bottom of the pool unless she stood on her tip toes but that was to much afford so her hands where moving in an arch movement on top of the water, legs kicking underwater to keep herself up and most of the strain of the arms.
She could feel water dripping from her wet hair on to her face, little cold drops that looked like it had just rained over her. One hand moved out of the water, rubbing the drops away and tucking hair behind her ear and away from her shoulder so it was laying behind her back. Grass green Orbs where on the fall, gashing into the pool and filling it with more and more water. A little stream was at the other side of the pool, the water going out that came in from falls. Lively water with the ripples never stopping. She heard Mitch speak his soft lyrics again, head snapped his way, smile on her lips.
Just a few Days and I’m staying at the green apartments
She spoke, voice louder, speaking over the noise the falls where giving of. Her apartment. Small, Cozy and all that she needs. It was all she could afford as well right now, having spend most of her money that was left to her by her month on going to college. Hand moved in front of her face, keeping the water Mitch splashed of her face then put it back down and it to the water, doing the same arch movements she did since jumping into the water.

Mitch kicked in the water. As it got deeper it got darker and now if he looked down he couldnt see the bottom, only his reflection. These waters were clean, at least they were last time he had gone swimming here. Like those movies where the divers go down deep into the unknown. They always have those floodlights because its so dark. The water reflects the sunlight so the deeper you get, the less sunlight that can reach you. And its cold. Mitch felt himself slip under and his feet got cold- colder than they already were. Pushing up in the water with his arms he came back to the surface trending the water to keep his head up. Tiny drops of water fell off his face as he grinned.
Me and Blake are too...just sone dinky one bedroom apartment. I have to sleep on the couch. I probably havent seen you because I havent even been out latly... Mitch moved forward toward her with a tiny shy smile, getting lower into the water so only the top part of his face was showing. He was finally getting used to the water

The water was warmer on the surface than it was on top. The sun was only heating up the top of the water though, the rays stopping a few inches below the surface, leaving the bottom of the pool, cold, probably near freezing temperature. When its dark, no sun shining on the water, it must be even more colder at the bottom, maybe even so cold it could turn your feet into Ice cubes, if that’s even possible. The kicking of her feet kept them moving, the blood flowing through them and stop them from freezing, even though they where still cold but with every minute that passed and with every kick she did, she got more and more used it and the longer she would stay in, the warmer the water would feel to her and the less she would shiver and the Goosebumps disappear.
Grass hue's Voids looked back over to the falls, the water coming from it, white at some parts and clear at other. The foam must have all sorts of dirt in it but yet, the water in the pool below the falls where clear and clean. Head snapped back into Mitch's direction as he spoke again. She probably hasn’t seen him as she was stuck in her own world, sorting the apartment out and people around her just don’t matter half the time. Getting everything in the right place, and everything plugged up just seemed more important that talking to people anyway.
I wouldn’t of noticed you anyway since i was busy trying to sort the apartment out that talking to people
That sounded kind of harsh but it was true. Not that she didn’t mean she didn’t see him but being stuck in her own perfect little world deep inside her head sometimes means people on the outside don’t exist. Orbs went back onto the waterfall, Jessicka slowly swimming its way and stopping before the boundary where the water was coming from, water hitting her face and top half of her body, the pool also being much deeper here since the bottom has been worn away. Giving a glance to Mitch over her shoulder, she took a few stroked into the water fall, feeling the water pressure hit her head and making it feel heavier. Behind it, a cave, fine and glossy and far enough so the waterfall doesn’t spit on you.
