Chapter 50: Angel

Leo lay outdoors in the cool grass on the edge of the campus lake.

He was lying in the spot he really loved to go to when he was struggling with campus life.

It reminded him of his home.

His family had a lake house and that was where he had spent most of his time when he was younger. So this was the only place on campus that really alleviated his struggles and made him feel nostalgic.

And he sure was having struggles he needed to alleviate right now.

So he had come here to let the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and their newfound bright green leaves rustle away.

The sounds of birds and crickets near the water, the frogs. He listened to the sounds of nature around him and just reveled in the fact that he could hear something like this in a city like this at all. Because to him, this was peace.

This exact spot was heaven because the bushes, trees and rocky bank on the water and taller grass all worked to obstruct his view of the city.
