I walked out of the town back into the forest and I just walk around, noting that I and probably 2 miles away from my house. My phone dies making me groan but I continue to walk putting my earbuds in my pocket and putting my phone in my back pocket of my pants.

I continue to walk paying no attention to the guy I am about to bump into, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you!" a males voice yells as he turns around,

I look at the guy and I tear up, "Zach?"

*Memories flood back to me and I start having flashbacks back-to-back...*

"Hello I'm Maxine Arclight." I introduce myself "Hi I'm Zachary Smith." He replies smiling "Do you want to be friends?" I nod. "How old are you?" he asks, "I'm 8" he smiles and replies "I'm 9" I smile.

"Come on max try and catch me!" I hear Zach as I run after him giggling, I am 9 he is 10. I trip over a tree root and I fall over "Maxy Are you okay?" I smile and nod "yea I'm fine Z I just tripped" "oh okay, well we can go inside." I smile "I would like that." I say to him giggling as I get up and we walk to his house.

"Zach you have to be joking..." I say as I tear up "please don't leave me..." I plead hoping he would listen as he walks over to his 'new friends' that are really gang members

"ZACH PLEASE THINK THIS THROUGH!" I yell


"ENOUGH MAXINE!"

That was the LAST time I saw him..He was 16 I was 15, also dealing with what my father was doing to me..

We met when we were kids and we were friends ever since.


He was there when I needed him and I was there when he needed me...


Little did he know I would remember this day...
