“John.”
Bella Ly’s face fell. “John?”
“Yes, have you seen him in your travels?” I asked
“I personally know John. He’s in my pack.”
“You’re pack?”
“Yes, there’s Lea, Jeremy, Zach, Kit, Jay, Chase, John, and Natalie.”
“What does John look like?” I couldn’t get off the subject of John.
“Dirty blonde hair, green eyes, a very pointy nose” she smiled as she described my brother John.
He was so close to me, he seemed like a brother to me. He was a little older than I was when we were both in that shelter.
I remember one memory that we had. John and I were the adventurous brothers. There was a secret forest behind the shelter we lived in. John had found it a few years before I was there, and he showed me it. We hung out there for hours. This was our secret club house and adventure land. I remember the day we swore we’d never leave each other.
John had dirty blonde hair, with dark green eyes and a pointy nose. His face was skinny on the sides and semi-long. He and I were finding wood for building. We jacked a whole spool of tweed from the arts room and ran outside.
John was much stronger than me and was sawing when he said “Now Alec, we have to promise each other that we’ll never leave. We’ll never tell anyone about this place. This is our place, our kingdom! It will forever be yours and mine, so long as you don’t tell anyone about this.”
“I promise.” a ten year old me said crossing my heart.
“Good.”
“What are you making?”
“I’m going to make use a tree house!”
I started jumping up and down. “Oh really J? You mean it!?”
“Of course little bro, I wouldn’t tell you something that I didn’t intend on keeping. Now go get me some more wood.”
I remember having this huge stupid ass smile on my face and running to get more wood. I only was gone a few moments when I heard a deep scream. I ran with the wood to where John was. He wasn’t there and I frantically searched.
“John? John!?… JOHN!”
There was no answer. As I was looking in the forest I heard footsteps. I started having a hard time breathing, the world spun around me. Then “RAWR!” came from out of no where and arms wrapped around me. I screamed and dropped to the ground. I started breathing heavily and then I couldn’t breath at all.
“You need to chill out Alec.” John said in a slurred breath.
“You scared me!” I said trying to hold back tears.
“Don’t worry about me little bro, just watch out for yourself.” he said covering his arm.
“What happened?”
“Nothing, just a little cut, I’ll take care of it later.”
We continued building our tree house and then the dinner bell rang. John and I raced each other, he was always faster than I was. That night during a dream, I heard his scream. The next morning he was gone.
“Are you okay?” came Bella Ly’s voice.
“Yeah… I’m fine. Sorry I just, I never got to see John again. How’s he doing?”
