Memories

(2 weeks later)

After that night Winnie and I drifted apart. I didn't want to see her anymore. I didn't want to see anyone.

My mother let me transfer schools, I couldn't bare stepping back into the school with everyone thinking I'm some type of lunatic.

After that my life started to get better day by day, Winnie and I started talking to each other again last summer and I'm glad we did.

I make my way to the table and give Winnie the biggest hug. Oh how I missed her.

"Woah is everything okay?" Winnie says confused

"Yeah I just missed you so much"

I see my mother smiling through the corner of my eye. Haven't seen her smile in a while. Not with everything that has happened to me and all.

"Hurry up and eat Renesmee.Your mom says she would take us to the park"

I hurry and eat my pancakes and make my way to the car and sit next to Winnie. We don't really say much in the car. Just the basics How you beens, and how's school questions.

We arrive to the park and its empty. Thoughts fill my mind when Winnie and I used to enjoy coming here, When everything was fine.
When I wasn't that crazy psycho teenager.

Me and Winnie walk down the park trail in complete silence. Talk about an awkward moment.

Finally she breaks the ice.

"So your mom tells me you've made friends at the new school...you better not replace me Renesmee!" She says jokingly.

"Replace you? Why would I ever think of doing that"

"Oh come on Renesmee don't act like I'm the good guy what I did to you I felt like an asshole since that night. I just thought it was the right thing to do I shouldn't have done it and I'm sorry"

I stand there with my head down trying not to drop a tear. I was never mad at her for what she did. I know she was just worried for me and I love her for that.

"Thank you Winnie for not leaving me."

The words barely escape my mouth.

She hugs me and I can sense she is really sorry for what she did. Her eyes holding back tears.

She rubs her eyes and grabs my hand.

"Come on let's go to our place"

We run through the field the warm summer breeze hitting our face. I've haven't felt this in a long time. I've missed this.

We arrive to this tree. I remember being here with Winnie a couple summers ago how we would talk about going back to school together and our lame summer vacation.

We sit catching our breaths and I notice something on the tree. Our initials craved into it. I can't believe its still here.

"Winnie can I tell you something?"

"Sure. Anything"

"Do you believe in monsters?"

Winnie let's out a giggle.

"How old do you think I am Ren? I'm not 5 anymore."

I let a fake giggle and dismiss the conversation.

The sun is setting it's so beautiful.My phone rings. It's my mom she tells us she is coming to pick us up soon.

We had back to the parking lot of the park and my phone rings again. Probably my mom again. I check to see and it's a random number.

I pick up the phone a confused hello escaped my mouth.

"Just remember I'm always here"

The phone goes silent. No it can't be, that voice.
That voice I heard last night how can it be.

"Who was it?" Winnie asks

"Oh it was my mother she says she is right around the corner"

I can't tell Winnie. She won't believe me she would probably get me locked up again.

My mother quickly arrives and the car ride is silent how is this happening?! Why won't that thing leave me alone.

We arrive home and I enter the cold air conditioned living room.

And from that point I know something is wrong something is here.
