"So I Found you! Wait Ella?..... Ella is that you? Ahhh! help me!" Harry said!

HELP ME PLEA-

(End of flash back)

That was the last day I ever heard my best friends voice. The horror in his voice and how scared I was when I heard it i swear ill never forget it. Never again I went back to that place and I don't think I ever will. That place that we only knew about. We found it when we were kids just messing around and walking around. We met when we were babies, our families area very close with each other so I'm guessing that's why we were so close. We went there everyday until the end of sixth grade when the accident happened , but now I think that place is long gone. Well at least i hope it is. I don't want anything to remember that day at all.

I always think about that day even if it was eight years ago. I don't know if it's because I never had closure or if I just miss him and I'm over thinking . I was an only so little and knew only so much about life and whats out there. I have no clue to what anything was. My family always kept me pure and innocent. I knew nothing.. He was like the brother I never had. He knew everything about me, my secrets, and the one that I trusted the most.

I now am graduating from Hemlock High School and I only have two friends that really get me almost just as much as Harry did, and as a matter of fact they're twins. Their names are Payton and Louis . For some odd reason Louis reminds me A LOT of Harry and I met him first before I met his sister Payton. He just showed up out of the blue and never really left, even if I tried to push him away. Louis and Payton were both home schooled for awhile so that's how I never really knew them. They might be twins but they both have way different personalities. Payton is nice quite and very smart she's even the top of the senior class. Then there's Louis he's loud funny and not the brightest at times haha. I love them both very much and I'm glad they are so understanding.

I don't know why but it just feels like they were sent to me for a reason but I guess because Harry was like my brother and now Louis kind of took over that place and Payton is like a sister. They both know the whole story behind my past and they have encouraged me to go back to mine and Harry's hide out many times but I told them i never ever want to go back to that place. Until one day I finally just gave up fighting with them and this weekend I'm set to go back. What if the same thing that happened to harry happens to them or even me? I just hope and pray that nothing happens to anyone.

"So are you coming or not?" Louis said.

"I don't know guys I'm kinda scared to be honest." I said

"Don't worry Ella everything will be fine I promise. We'll be here every step of the way. I promise." Payton said

"It's not that I never wanted to take you guys here but I just cant lose you guys either. You know that" I said as we came to a stop and got out of the car

"You're just paranoid that's all, and we now know hey this place is dangerous so we stick together okay?" Louis said

"I guess." I said

Well for one thing this place is looks like no one touched it from the day I remember.I walked through the little gate me and Harry made out of just sticks and super glue that I stole from my dads tool box. I took a look around and all the memories just hit me all at once. I soon began to smile and look around, a tear began to roll down my face as well. This place brings back so many good memories. Like when I almost fell off the tire swing when we built it when we were 6. Harry tried to run and catch me and fell in mud and tackled me because I was laughing to hard, or the last time we both were seen here together and actually left this place together.

The last time we were both here Harry had gotten in a fight with his step dad. He may seem like the perfect dad but in all honesty he don't give 2 shits about Harry. His mom is never home to see how much his step dad treats him like garbage. All behind closed doors he beats him to where the next day he wouldn't even be able to come to school. I tried telling my mother but she never seemed to believe me of course. No one would ever think that his "dad" would ever do such a thing.

That day no body knew where Harry was and they were looking everywhere for him. His step dad acted like it wasn't a big deal and didn't even call his mother that was on another business trip. He ran away from home the night before and I was so worried since he didn't go to school. I was looking as well for him but then it all came to me. I knew exactly where he was and I rushed over there and thank god I came before he tried to commit suicide. A thirteen year old was going to hang himself because he had enough pain.

"HARRY STOP!" I yelled

Harry turned around slowly and started to cry even more.

"Harry you can't do this please stop! I love you please don't"

I ran over to where he was and eminently got him away from where he was.I never really asked what happened because I didn't want him to talk about it after all he had a black eye and his head was bleeding so I knew it was his step dad. I sat there hugging him and crying with him for a good hour and then I took him back to my mom and dad. I kind of just assumed what had happened and so did my parents. He spent the night at my house that night thank god.

I remember the good laughs we had. All the drawing we made on the rocks and the better ones he drew of me. I still remember be dug a hole and put one of our most valuable things in side a little tin power ranger lunch box when we were eight. I remember everything just by looking around this old place. Then I also remembered that everyone leaves. The only people I have now is my mother Louis and Payton. My dad was murdered last year and we still haven't found the suspect. They blamed it on an animal attack but everyone with the right state of mind knows my father was not that stupid. My own loving father was murdered and so was my best friend everyone else couldn't handle me and my emotions I'm pretty sure. I just get used and no one really likes me for who I am. I also come to think sometimes that Harry really was my only friend growing up because I was such a big tomboy growing up.

"Why did you only have one friend growing up?" Payton asked one day

" I was a weird kid I guess . I was also a tomboy growing up." I said with a small smile

"You acted like a boy! I cant even get you to burp in front of me, I've never even seen you with out makeup on." Louis said

"People change Louis and I'm sure if we were here going to school since Kindergarten through 7th grade we would still have bin best friends Ella." Payton said

"Ya we love you no matter how you act or look like." Louis said

"Thanks guys I feel the love but that's just how I am now, I like the new me kind of  ." I said with a small laugh.

I don't know why I changed when he left to be honest. I never know the answer to that question. I guess you could call me a girly girl now. I don't wear hats all the time now and have my hair up in really weird pony tails. All I wore was t-shirts that were way too big on me and jeans, not because I didn't have any clothes just because that's what I liked. I wanted to be comfortable when I was going on adventures with my best friend.

"Well is there any secret things you hid here in your secret little hide out?" Louis asked looking around

" Um me and Harry had this lunch box with gifts in it that we were gonna give to each other when we were older." I said

"Well them why are we just standing here lets dig!" Louis said with excitement

"Well do you want to find that lunch box Ella?" Payton asked

"I don't see why not but I don't remember where it was buried."

" Leave that to us." Louis said with a smile.
