Dedicated to LTrant98 for being such an awesome and encouraging reader. :D

Two young children, a boy and a girl sat in the play pen together. The girl had bouncy blonde curls and emerald green eyes, while the boy's light brown hair was matted on his forehead; it was drenched with sweat. 

They were exhausted; who wouldn't be? One must have some good stamina to play seven rounds of Chase consecutively for two hours. 

"Sunset, beautiful!" the girl exclaimed in between short breaths as she fixated her gaze on the brilliant orange sky. 

The boy nodded vehemently in agreement. "Beautiful sunset."

Unconciously, the girl's tired head found her way onto the boy's shoulder. They sat there, watching the beautiful and picturesque sunset in peace. 

All too soon, the night sky was littered with stars. They had to go back to their homes; to wash up for dinner. 

"Ten years later, we'll do this again," the boy said, stretching his miniscule pinky finger out to the girl. "Promise?"

The girl smiled toothily, and stuck out her pinky to hook the boy's. "I promise, Kade." 

And they both went their separate ways, back to their homes, back to their own lives. Even though he was only living a house away from her, she still missed him dearly. 

Dear Kade, 

We were nine, then. Do you remember? We made a pact ten years ago; that we would sit in a play pen and watch the sunset together again.

Do you still remember?

If you do, then why are you not here now? I am sitting in the play pen now as I write this letter to you. Guess what? I think the play pen can only fit either one of us now; there's not enough space for two of us. Was that why you decided not to come today? 

Xoxo,

Kaylee

I set my pen down on my lap. My body was convulsing as tears poured out of my eyes like a waterfall. I had to stop writing, if not my tears are going to stain the letter. My tear-stained eyes gazed at the sky in sorrow. The sky was orange like the last time, but the shade of orange was different. It was a harsher shade of orange, not like the warm shade of orange we used to enjoy. 

It has been 3 days since Kade's funeral. The past week has been a living hell for me, without him. I miss his voice, I miss his brown orbs that sparkled everytime he catch sight of me. I miss him. Really badly.
