Chapter 1 - Decitful liars
5 Years Ago, Stratford, Canada
"EAT THE WORM!" He says sitting on me.
"No, I won't!" I say squirming under his weight. I finally manage to get him off me by pinching his arm. He jumps up in shock and I scrabble up and push him down. I get his worm and dangle it above his face. He screams and runs.
I find him eventually in the tree. He is hiding under a pile of Clothes
"Justin" I call.
"BOO!" He says and Jumps on top of me
"GET OFF ME!" I scream and he laughs and jumps off.
"Vika? Moms here!"
I sigh. This was the last time I would see Justin in 5 Years. He looked down as I said bye.
"Bye Vika..." he mumbles and then sits down in the tree.
Today was the day I left him.
Visit to my dad, 3 years ago
I was eager to get to our home. I unpacked my bags quickly and went to the tree.
"Justin?" I whispered walking around inside. It was clear he wasn't there. But then I heard his laughter and I hid. He came in with somebody. It was a girl. She had tanned skin, blue eyes and fair hair. It was different from my Witchy long black hair with bangs and green eyes.
"Well, this is the tree" He says to her.
"So childish Justin" She says rolling her eyes. I see the hurt in his eyes but he agrees with her. They stay for 3O minutes just talking.
"Bye Justin!" The girl calls then they step outside. I hear them kiss. My heart breaks in that sudden second. I go out of the tree from the back way.
"See you at school Jenifer!" He calls and I watch him leave.
This tree seperated my Dads house from Justins. We made a pact when we were 8 that nobody would be able to enter the tree.
He broke that pact.
I go inside my house sadly. He was the one who said we should make a pact in the first place. My dad asks me if I saw Justin. I nod and put on a fake smile. He ruffles my hair and tells me to go play in my bedroom and he will call me for dinner. I go into my bedroom. The walls are dark blue with gold stars painted on them. The bed is Lilac and my old teddies are on the Pillow. The floor has a dark blue Belgian carpet on it. I sit at my desk which is purple and stare out the window. Justins room is parrallel to mine so I can see the changes. His room used to be Green and neat. Now its blue and all his clothes were strewn across the floor. I sigh. He has changed. He comes into his room and I look another direction. I soon hear a rock on my window. I open it unwillingly and put on a smile.
"Vika! Is that really you?"
"Yep."
"You're staying?"
I look him in the eye. He seems excited. I sniffle a bit thinking about the earlier scene.
"Nope"
"So...Why are you here?" He asks, his face falling
"A visit" I say
"Oh cool. Wanna meet up in the tree?" He asks
"Sure."
"Awesome!" he says.
I put on my converses and went downstairs.
"Dad, I'm going back to the tree!"
