Faided Memories

"Would you like a lollipop?"

Amelia turned around cautiously, her eyes widened as she picked up on the unfamiliar voice. Her mother told her on countless occasions that she must never associate herself with strangers.

But, since this voice sounded a tiny bit like a boy of her age or even older, she slowly walked towards the source and stared in confusion before she realised he was extending his arms out to display two securely wrapped colourful treats, of which looked deliciously worthy.

"Thanks" Amelia muttered sheepishly, she carefully took one of the lollipops. All this time, she had not looked up at this young boy. She managed to do just that and to her surprise he was just a bit taller than her. Her was about a foot taller and he possessed dirty blonde hair, his eyes were the lightest shade of brown that she had ever laid eyes on. A beam of light lit up his face like a Christmas tree and his eyes glimmered in the hovering lights.

"You are welcome. I am Justin" he said, pocketing his other lollipop quickly whilst shaking his new friends hand.

"Amelia" she stated shaking his hand, once again allowing a beam to light up his six year old face.

"Want to go on the bouncy castle?"b

Amelia nodded and quickly followed Justin to the inflated red bouncy castle of fun. She was a bit nervous as she had only just met him but all in all, he seemed harmless to her. Besides, her mum wouldn't mind or would she?

Amelia turned around to the young boy in alarm as he put his hand in hers. The beam had lit up his face yet again and Amelia found herself grinning back as they jumped into the hell of a scary castle. Weren't castles suppose to be full of fun? She was thinking to herself, but that quickly disappeared when they entered the castle full of love.

Amelia found herself laughing along with Justin as they jumped elegantly with all their childhood innocence. Several children were scattered inside, all holding one of the many coloured balls. Amelia got smacked in the face with one until Justin came over and started apologising.

"I am so sorry Amelia" he whispered into her ear with great regret. Amelia smiled as he helped her up. She shock her head and her light brown curls started bouncing all over the place as she moved.

"Fooled you!" She teased and once again found herself grinning as she caught into his usual smile. He flipped his hair to the side, to enable the few locks that dared to get into his to love out of the way.

After several minutes of innocent fun they burst out of the castle and dared to play a tiny game of catch when a demanding yet caring voice filtered close to them.

"Amelia honey!"

Instinctively, Amelia turned around and there was her mum, her semi blonde hair dip dyed with black came into her sight.

"Mum" Amelia exclaimed her eyes growing wild with fear. Her mum looked panicky and uncomfortable when she got sight of her beloved only child.

"Amelia where are you?"

"With him" she pointed towards Justin.

"And you are?" Amelia's mum tried not to address this boy rudely.

"I am Justin"

"Justin? Justin Drew Bieber? Where are you?" Another voice called, allowing Amelia's head to turn towards the unknown voice.

"Here mum" Justin replied.

A slightly round woman with dove grey eyes and caramel brown hair that reached we mid-waist scrambled up to Justin, her eyes a bit drooped but all emotions seemed to disappear as she laid eyes on a woman and a young girl that looked friendly and no older than six.
