Javon's POV:
It was starting to get later now we were all sat around the camp fire eating our food, y/n's mom was doing a barbecue so we had lots of food to eat and by the end of it we were all so full we couldn't move, but I pinky promised y/n that we could go to the den at sunset and if we wanted to make it by then we would have to leave soon.
I gave y/n a glance and when she looked at me I signalled towards the mountain the den was on and gave a confused shrug, y/n must of caught on
Because she also gave her dad a look and said
"Me and javon wanted to go on a bike ride to watch the sunset is that ok dad" y/n said exaggerating the word dad and giving him a pleading look begging him to understand
"Yes that's ok but be back by 8:30 no later we are all going swimming in the dark" he replied fantasising about how fun it will be
Me and y/n got up and walked of but before the conversation was completely drowned out I heard jayla say "they 100% like each other but don't want to tell each other"
"No they aren't they are just really good friends" her dad said defending my side in a jokey way but I know that that he knows how much I like her just from when we went to the gym together

Y/n's POV:
We finally made it up the hills we were both completely out of breath since we rode out bikes up.
"I...... am never ..... doing that again" I said stopping for deep breaths
I hauled the blankets into the den and layed one out on the ground, i then sat on it and javon came and sat next to me, I brought the other one over us to we could relax and cuddled my stuffed animal to me
And I know people say that stuffed animals are for kids but I've had this since I was 2, it is a yellow duck that I won at a fair and I've never gone a night without it.
"Can I see the duck?"javon said
"Yeah but don't make fun of me otherwise your out of the den" I said defending myself, I passed it to him and he looked like he was inspecting it which was odd but I just let it go
"I don't think it's weird I think it's cool, I have a monkey one at home that I was given when I was born, I forgot to pack it so I might have to steal yours." He said putting it out of my reach and hugging it
"There is no way on this earth that you will take my duck" I said pulling it away from him
I then took his phone out if his pocket so that he would have to give me my duck back which worked amazingly.
"Fine I'll swap you your duck for my phone"
Once we were back to normal, we sat silently, all we could hear was the sound of a crow flying past, the tension couldn't be cut with a knife the only thing that would cut it would be for someone to ask the question we were avoiding. My heart was beating slow but it was beating very hard I could feel it in my head making me feel dizzy
"Soo, what happened" javon asked softly knowing that I was scared.
I hugged my duck closer to myself, it comforts me in a way nothing else can
"Well you probably know this but before I lived here I was living in the uk" I said the first sentence not being so hard
"I was diagnosed with adhd at a very young age which made school very hard"
Javon sat quietly but he looked at me when I was speaking which assured me that he was listening and wanted to hear
"I was always very quiet, people made fun of me for it, all I ever wanted was to be able to talk to people, I started to get bullied in year 4 which is in primary school" I took a small break to think about how I could word my sentences, javon out his arm around my shoulder giving me the confidence to speak again
"One girl spoke to me everyday trying to get me to be friends with her and after a few weeks I finally did and told her about my life and she told me about hers"
"Are you still friends with her?" Javon asked
"Ummm no when I told her about my diagnosis she made fun of me and said that I was faking because I don't fit the stereotype for a person with adhd since my medication calms me down and I'm not so hyperactive all the time, she then told the whole class a bunch of rumours about me and they all started treating me like an animal" I said my voice getting shakier by the second
"Did you tell someone about it?, you don't deserve to be treated like that" javon said with sorrow in his voice
"Yes I started refusing to go to school and when I told my mother she pulled me out immediately, I'm still really grateful of her for doing that"
"So then after a month I was enrolled into a new school which is where I met my best friend Sam, she was a girl and we knew everything about each other and knew all each others secrets and we promised we would never tell anyone"
"So your life started getting better?" Javon asked
"It did indeed, I basically had a normal school life from there, me and Sam got into the same comprehensive school as well, we were like sisters to each other" Javon's face grew back it's smile as he watched me reminisce on the time I spent with Sam, thinking back on her made me feel nostalgic but it also makes me sick, I always try and remember the good times I spent with her
"Life was getting really good, though the doctors figured that my medication for adhd wasn't working so they swapped it out for Atomoxetine which helped me concentrate better, so at this point in my life I was great. I had a best friend, better grades and people didn't bully me"
"So do you still have to take the same medications?"javon inquired
"Yes but sometimes I forget to take them which throws me out of my routine, but I thought since it's the summer holidays I'd try to go without them for a week and see if I could maintain my life, but it didn't go to well which is why I wasn't sleeping when you met me in that coffee shop, I've packed them with me though so we are all good" I said laughing
"I don't know wether this is a bad question but does adhd still effect you" javon asked interested in my life, no one's ever been this interested about me since Sam
" well it's not really curable so it doesn't go away after a while. Adhd affects me but the medication calms down some of the aspects of it, though I always feel different form everyone and tend to isolate myself which leads to another thing."
"So what happens next why did you move?" Javon questioned like he was on the edge of his seat
"I'm giving you a warning though cause this is where the really bad part is" I said feeling as though there is still some way I can avoid this but I know there's not
"As long as your comfortable with it I am" he said putting his arm back to where it was and letting me put my head on his shoulder
"Well my mom got a job opportunity here in Atlanta but things were going so well for me so she didn't tell me but there was a 2 week deadline in which she had to decide what she was going to do"
"But then one night I was just watching a film
After I had gotten back from the park with Sam, we were going to have a sleepover that night since it was a weekend, we always did on a Saturday, she had just gone home to get her stuff.
But as I was waiting my mom came into the room presenting a face which I knew was no good. I don't know what I was expecting her to say"
just then tears started streaming down my face I didn't know how I would explain it, everything in my life went through my head as I imagined what she told me I moved my self from javon I dug my head in my knees.
