Nature (title ever changing) By D’Evelyn Wymore
Prologue Liquid pools of light stared back at her, wondering about her curly brunette hair and sad hazel eyes, which were filled with tears. Little yellow heads swam with the current, lazing about beneath her and bright green stretches flowed sweetly among them. Ashley blinked away the threatening tears, telling herself it was pointless to cry about a thing that was unchangeable. She rolled over onto her back, stretching the length of her body across the board walk. The sun was warm and comforting, relaxing her muscles, just as it soothed the nature around her. If only I could stay here all day, she thought to herself, letting her eyes drift down. “Too bad you can’t, Ashley.” Groaning, she sat up to stare at tall being with mystifying green eyes and glistening gold hair. “Yes,” she agreed, pulling herself onto her feet, “it is. All this beautiful nature and nobody to care for it.” She glazed her hand over the roses by the stairs and watched them bloom into glorious red love notes. She turned to her brother and saw the hint of a smile behind his always-intense composure. “Stunning things, aren’t they?” She commented, sparing a glance at the flowers that bent toward her as if she were the sun. She turned back to her brother, all hints of happiness gone; the troubling mask had reappeared. “Aaron? Did the meeting not go well?” He lowered his gaze to the ground, a slight furrow in his forehead appearing on his lineless face. He shook his head and sighed. She asked the question that would determine her future. “What happened?”

I must say that I am intrigued, but you can only work on developing it further if you decide to, write for yourself, not your readers. The description is a bit confusing, you're using too many adjectives, but still not describing the full setting. It seems like you're focusing on the details, when what is really needed in something so short is the big picture. Try, in a situation like this, to really get the setting across efficiently, describing not just details, but the whole thing. Also, it would sound better if it was less purply, fewer adjectives and more description through showing.
