The Beautiful Memories

"Thank you," she says while coming into my house. "Do you want a drink?" I ask her "I do, thank you" she replies. I was tired and wasn't thinking at all Casper didn't like her, but I ignored it. I let her stay until the morning by accident, when I was fully awake I realized how dumb I was but I dealt with it.

"Thank you" she smiles at me "You're welcome!" I smile back at her. She pauses for a moment like she's confused about why I would let her into my home. "Here's my number" she gets a paper and hands it to me "Oh, I'll make sure to text you then?" I say confused while grabbing the paper.

"I'm sorry, I'll go now" she speed walks out,

There she goes now I don't know what to do-

She texts me

Hey, it's Hailey! Sorry if I didn't introduce myself

Oh, it's fine! I'm Aurelia

I would love to become friends!

I would love to be friends too!

We talked for hours and I got to know her better, I didn't know we would have so much in common

Over time I caught feelings. Sadly

But I had no intention of dating her.. unless she asked me out of course!

She kept asking to come over .. most of the time I wanted to be alone or I was just at work. I'm not used to company

But I finally let her over since she doesn't know how to not stop asking

....

She came to my house, I felt very nervous

I opened the door and greeted her while she came in "Wow, it smells great!" She smiled at me, I smiled back with no response.

For the rest of that day we hung out it was fun but she kept asking me personal things ... like, did I ever do something so wrong it could put me in jail but it didn't because no one found out. I felt like she was trying to get something out of me

Casper didn't like her, at all so there was something up with her or he's just jealous

I mean I do kinda like her, I guess. She's pretty, nice and really funny she's like the one who just matches your energy.

Soon she had to go, sadly. I enjoyed her being here, it was fun.

Aurelia - 9 yrs

"Hey, Aurelia!" A girl yells at Aurelia "Yes?" Aurelia looks at the girl "Wanna come hang at my house?" She asks Aurelia "Sure!" Aurelia agrees

Aurelia knew her parents wouldn't care at all. She didn't even go home just straight to her house

"Welcome!" Aurelia and the girl walk in, and her parents greet Aurelia

For hours they laughed and played together until it was bedtime

"Night Aurelia!" She falls asleep

Aurelia sleeps on the ground in her room, but she hears footsteps an hour later... she couldn't sleep

Her dad walked in.

"Shh shh" her dad made sure Aurelia didn't make any noises so she didn't wake up the girl

Her dad touched Aurelia.

When Aurelia woke up all she could do is cry from remembering that horrible night. She left without anyone knowing and went home.

No one cared that she came home or was gone for a day. No one would even if she was dead

—present—

I need to invite her again! The loneliness was too long

I take Casper on a walk to a coffee place nearby, I just wanted to get out!

Bear was hanging out with my mom since she needed the company

It was amazing just me and my best friend-

Oh god, Haileys there! Right when I think I might get some alone time ... that's too bad I guess

She looks at me and waves, I wave back she runs up to me "I was not expecting YOU to be here!" She starts to pet Casper "yeah hello.." I say softly "why are you here?" She asks me "I'm just here to relax and get coffee with Casper," I say looking at Casper

"Oh I see well alright," she says

I walk around her like the conversation didn't happen... I didn't mean to it was just too awkward

"Hey! Aurelia" she shouts kinda I turn around "what?" I say "don't forget about me!" She runs up to me and walks me into the cafe
