Emory→ My mouth fell open when he winked at me, but I quickly recovered myself.
“Oh. Em’s gonna take me to the beach soon.” Lae says, her tone light.
“Yeah, soon.” I say, shooting a look at her. She doesn’t catch the drift. Big surprise there.
“Wanna come?” she asks, even though he looks like he’s heading back from the beach. His shirt is soaked and his hair is still dripping wet, but that doesn’t faze Lae, not for a second. I stand up, putting an arm around her shoulders, and squeezing. She yelps and I let go.
“Sorry.” I say quickly. “You don’t have to. We didn’t mean to bother you.” Out of the corner of my eye I see Lae shooting daggers at me. I ignore her.
“You can still come if you want.” I stare at Lae. That girl sometimes….
I look back up at Jason, waiting for him to say something, anything, to shut Lae up for a while.

“Courage is not the absence of fear but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be.❞

Bravery is one of the most important things to me. It has been for quite a long time now. I always believed that if people were not brave then nothing would be done to make the world the place that it is. Think about that for a nanosecond. Courage and bravery are what shaped the society. If people had not been brave enough to step out on a limb, then we would have no heroes. No police men. No firefighters. No soldiers. Nothing. We would be a world without hope. And when there is nothing to hope for then what is there? So be brave. Please, please, please, don't tuck yourself away in a dusty cob-webbed corner and sit on a three-legged stool staring out your window and fantasizing about the things you could do. Do them. Be courageous, be bold, be brave.
