Erik study in calabasas high school california by now, one day he attend tennis tournament in florida so he use the opportunity to visit his cousin who live there, his name is Andy.
"hey andy, lets go to new jersey, i wanna see someone there" said erik. Andy agree, they borrow martha's car to go there, it is only 1 hour drive. They pass erik's old house in pennington and 69 drive, "do you miss your old neighborhood?"
"Oh yes i do, it has too many memories, good and bad"
"do you still remember those place?" Andy point on the corn field where they use to play soldiers.
"Ofcourse" erik smiled.
"Where we going now?"
"Ummmm i tell you later, please wait here" erik park the car in front of your old house. He rang the bell, not long after a lady come out, erik ask about you, but her answer devestate him, she said your family sell this house and move to somewhere, she didn't know where you move. Erik decide to go to emily's house, your best friend in new jersey.
Emily open the door, "erik?" she wasn't sure because erik is really changed, he grew taller and leaner.
"Hi Em! glad to see you again, it's been a while" erik hug her tight.
"what are you doing here? Didn't you move to california?"
"i did, i had a tennis tournament here so i want to see my old house and the neighborhood"
"it doesn't change much, isn't it"
"mmhmmmm" he nodded, "i've been to magno's house"
"Awh.. you already knew"
"when did she move? And why?"
"i believe its just after you move to california, her dad got job offer in another place"
"where is it?"
"Ummmm.. she asked me not to tell you, just incase you come back. Last time she said to me that she hated you"
Erik nods and looks so down, his heart sank to the bottom.
Emily feel his sadness, "Awh.. wait here okay" she went inside the house and grab a phone, she calls you, "magno, it's me em"
"Hi em, how are you? what's going on?"
"magno, i'm fine, ummmm.. someone wants to talk to you, it's urgent" emily gave the phone to erik.
"wait, who?" you wondering.
"hello?"
"hello, who is this?"
"Magno, it's me, erik"
You paused and just let him talking.
"How are you? It's been a while right, i ummmm i went to your house and couldn't find you there, the new owner said you're moving.."
"why you coming back?"
"I had tennis tournament around here so i decided to visit my andy and ummm you, obviously"
"What for?"
"i wanted to see you so bad, i want to apologize.. in person"
"i had forgive and forget about it, well i'm still trying"
"forget? My fault or our memories in new jersey?"
"All.. i just think that's for the best"
"Why you wanna forget? doesn't it mean anything to you? All those moments, either its good or bad"
"it was puppy love, we were just kids and naive"
"right , you are absolutely right"
"i don't wanna revisited those feelings, i have my life now and i'm sure you do too so i don't see any point for us to see each other again"
"fair enough"
"Good bye erik, take care" you hang up quickly.
Erik handed the phone back to emily, "she hung up already, thank you em" erik's face didn't show happiness.
"did she say something mean to you?"
"she said she doesn't wanna see me"
"I'm sorry erik.. but, i could understand her at some point, when you left, she was so broken, it wasn't fair for her, you just left like that"
"I know, i also realize that"
"Oh gosh.. wait here" emily grab a paper and pen, she wrote down your new address and phone number, she hand it to erik, "Look, she might hate me but i dont mind, you have to see her".
"thank you em, i appreciated it, but no.. if she didn't wanna see me so be it, i respect her decision" erik refuse to take it, he hug emily and left.
