Start from the Beginning(One shot)

It's because of you

It's been ten years. But there is no changes in this town.

That tree where I always hide is still old and unnoticeable. That dirty mail box that has always been rotting and old. That house where I always hear that sound from a chimney. Those dogs who are always bark whenever they saw people walking around the street.

Those things has no change at all. The only thing that change for almost ten years might only be me.

I started packing my things from the box I brought here in our old house. No one is living in this house for almost ten years since my parents died on a car accident. As for me, I started living on my auntie's house in London where they can keep an eye on me. It feels so lonely when I leave in this house. There are lots of this that I left behind. Things that might be lost forever.

"Good morning! Honey, are you here?"

When I hear that voice, I started running through our door and open it. The girl outside is one of my precious friend before.

"Sarah!" I shouted as I hug her tightly. She hugged me back as if there is no more tomorrow.

"Hey! How are you? It's been ten years since we saw each other, eh? You look so beautiful," Sarah said as she look at me from head to foot. I smiled broadly and kiss her cheek.

"I'm okay, how about you? How are you? Ten years had passed but your still fat," I teased her. She laugh at me. The laugh that I missed the most.

"I'm not fat, you know? I lost a lot of pounds back then," she smiled. Yeah, i know. Sarah is not fat anymore. She has a very nice figure and she looks pretty too. I don't know why but I think that both of us change for those ten years.

"Let's continue our talk inside," I said as we go inside the living room.

I haven't finished cleaning the whole house because it is too big for me. But I finished cleaning my room and the kitchen yesterday. All I have to clean is he living room, the guest room, garden, garage-

"Hey, what to happen to you in London? You didn't contact us before you left," Sarah asked me sadly as we sit in the couch.

"I'm sorry, everything seems to be fast. I don't know what to do before, and Aunt Clara wanted to go back to London quickly that's why I haven't told you about my departure before," I said. She look directly at my eyes before she scratch her head just like she did before.

"Oh well, that's okay for me. But the person who seems to be so mad about that is Harold. Have you seen him?"

My heart started to beat fast when I heard his name. This throbbing beating of my heart never changes even though I change for almost ten years. The only thing that might not change is the feelings I had for him. The guy whom I love for almost ten years.

"N-No, I haven't see him." I said.

"Really? We can visit him if you like," she said as she smile at me. Sarah knows my true feelings for him.

"B-But, he might still mad at me," I said sadly. She cheer me up by pinching my cheeks.

"Don't be so sad. We both know that he can't resist you even though he was mad at you," Sarah said. I tried to smile but it seems so hard to do. I know that Harold is mad at me. He was my best friend after all. But I can't tell him my true feelings. Not that I know whom he really likes.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked Sarah nervously as we walked to the front door of Harold.

"Of course, i'm sure! No need to be nervous, it's just Harold after all," Sarah said as she knocked at the door. I heard a voice said 'just a minute' and it makes my heart beat fast. I started walking away from the door when Sarah grab my collar as the door open.
