I felt relief wash over me as we stopped. I got off and calmed down. I reminded myself that the only reason I had bothered to get closer to him was because I was uneasy riding a motorcycle for the first time. Yes, that was it. I didn't like Owen than anything more than a friend. That was how it was meant to be. At the moment, I was too busy trying to rebuild my life. Life is like a puzzle.
If you mess up you have to go back and fix it. You can't just start a new puzzle without fixing the last one. That's just not how it works. I admit, I wanted to be closer to Owen. A small part of me was begging me to allow him into my life, however, I knew better.
I had let David into my life and he had died. The only family I had left was Claire and Karen. And, sadly, I wasn't as close to them as I used to be. I did miss Karen and I wished she was coming with her two boys. I was excited to meet my nephews though.

My mind came back down to earth. I hopped off. "I've started the list already. Don't worry." I said with a smile as I stepped off the bike. I looked around. I wondered what he wanted to show me but either way I was excited. "So what are we doing first?" I asked. I was eager to explore. I hadn't really been around the park before

xxx I took in a deep breath as I leaned the motorcycle against the wall. I turned to face her with a grin on my face. It was the same stupid grin that I was known for in some areas of life. I was often told to wipe it off my face but most said that it is what made them know that I was a real person. A real person that was not scared of being the real person that he is. A real person that will not allow his chosen career to change him into someone else.

xxx I reached out for her hand before hesitating. I didn't know if she would be okay holding my hand, I wanted to make sure that she would be comfortable with it before I actually went for it. I just waited for a few seconds to see how she would react. "I know it will be cheesy at first but just bear with me okay?" I asked as I kept the grin on my face turning to look at the doors that lead to the main park.

I couldn’t help but smile at his grin. It made me feel glad to know that I wasn’t living in a world full of only fake people. Now, I felt like everyone only showed what they thought others would like. Owen wasn’t like that. He was real. He showed everything. Maybe not everything but I could tell he was fine with showing the side of himself that some hated and snapped at. Like I said, he was just real. That’s why I smiled.
I saw him hesitate as he reached out his hand. To be honest, I thought about not taking his hand. I thought about looking at him like he was crazy. It was my scarred side. That was the side that made me think that way. I didn’t though. I took his hand. If I couldn’t be close to him regularly, then I at least wanted to be close to him for a day. After today, we could go back to being just friends and nothing more. Still, today I wanted to just enjoy being around him. Maybe it was because I was scared. I mean truly scared. Scared for Owen because of Hoskins. All I could think about was Owen never coming back and it’d be my fault. I had the information to get rid of Vic. And to get rid of the sick game he was playing. I didn’t though. I let the thought drop from my mind. “Well, I don’t have a way to get back to my house so I’m stuck with you anyways.” I joked. I didn’t mind. I didn’t care if it was cheesy or not.

xxx She was right I suppose, but I still really wanted her to enjoy this. Despite her being forced to spend time with me. Which could either be a good thing or a bad thing. I took in a deep breath, I knew that she would like this as much as I did. I lead her up the stairs into the research building. Everything had been turned on but the park was not yet open to the public. I stepped inside the huge building and stepped up to the horoscope waiting for Dawn to follow me. I was honestly glad that she held my hand as well, it made me feel that maybe there is someone else out here who is willing to seek out some kind of relationship. Even if it is just friendship. "Alright, watch this" I said as I looked at all of the different types of dinosaur on the holoscope.

I bounced on my toes as an excited, small toddler might. My eyes widened in amazement. I was truly impressed. The holograms looked so real, except for the fact that they were a grey-blue. Claire had failed to mention this when we had talked.
Maybe it was odd for a grown adult to be acting so amazed but it was only Owen and I. "It's amazing! How does it work?" I was glad I had agreed to come, It was turning into the best decision of my life.

xxx Dawn seemed very impressed by this almost childish thing, the thing that was supposed to be used for education. However it appeared to work or else they wouldn't have it in the park which was nice. I looked at her for a second the smile still on my face. "Ill show you" I carefully found the one circle that read 'Velociraptor' I dragged it into the middle circle the holograph coming to life. I smiled as I looked into the familiar eyes of Blue. I stepped aside so that she could get a good look at her. "its Blue"

I watched with as Blue appeared. Technology had come so far. The movements were so... real. I looked at the familiar scales of Blue and her amber eyes. I took a moment to take in how lucky I was. I had Owen and I lived on an island of science fiction. An island most people refused to believe in. No could deny that it was real anymore. There was proof and more and more people were showing up to the park to experience what I was experiencing. That's so smart. I wish I had known about this sooner.
I haven't really been in the park yet and Claire wants me to write all these amazing things about it." I rolled me eyes.

I enjoyed the hologram a little while longer before looking to Owen. "Where to next?"

xxx They got Blues motion right thats for certain. The way she tiled her head or swished her tail, the distinctive movements that she made were all perfect. however she wasn't moving past those small motions as I am suer it would have been difficult to capture. I realized that I had missed what Dawn had said when I snapped out of my trance and heard what she said about where else we were going to go today. I had to clear my thoughts for a second. Where too...? hmm. Well there was always that spot-. "Alright, do you mind a little ride on the monorail?" I asked. Once again I rarely used it being park staff, but she was the one who had to see the park for all it was worth. I then heard a familiar voice in the lab. I wanted to leave before Vic got back over to me. But I was honestly in no rush.

Just like I had, Owen had spaced out. He had clearly missed the first thing I had said which made me smile. He was acting like he had totally heard what I had said. It was cue, I hated to admit it. I heard a noise from the labs and looked over towards them. It was almost as if I was daring someone to come out of there and tell us to get lost. Of course I’m sure they would’ve seen Owen and backed down. I knew who I was really daring to appear though. It was Vic. I was daring Hoskins to come out and say something. I turned back towards Owen as he spoke. ”I wouldn’t mind that.” I said with a slight smile. A part of me was still thinking about Hoskins. I wanted to do whatever I could to keep him away from Owen. I couldn’t deal with losing another person. Even if we were only friends.

xxx I could see the storm clouds gathering in her bright blue eyes. It was like she was concerned or something . I took her hand and walked out of the building. But before so I asked “is something wrong?” the voices were not getting closer I feel like he was assessing a new asset or something. Which would make sense. I knew they were working with a new asset recently and it became a really big priority for everyone. I checked my watch, the park was going to open in a minute and we needed to get going before tourists showed up and ruined my plans for this to be quiet. Or at least mostly. I smiled as I held her hand feeling as though it belonged there. But part of me wanted to hesitate. I was scared, that was true. But was I going to let fear get in the way of progress?
