Split Between Two

Lizzie's P.O.V

"You will NEVER catch me Harold!" I shouted behind me laughing. Me and Harry had just finished school and we were charging round the field at the back of my house.

"Oh, just you wait Elizabeth!" He replied. I heard footsteps getting closer from behind me and suddenly I was on the ground, Harry on top of me squishing me to the earthy ground beneath us.

"HARRY! GET OFF!" I screamed in his face. He just laughed and stayed there.

"Harry! Lizzie! Get home we are going to get Alannah from Little Squirrels!" mum called. Alannah was my little cousin she was turning 5 tomorrow.

"Coming Mummy!" I shouted back to her. Harry and I had a race back to the house and of course I, being the best runner in the world, won.

"HAHA! loser has to lick his shoes!" I chanted as Harry ran up the porch steps out of breath.

"EW! LIZZIE! NO!"

"Yep,"

"No."

"Yep,"

"No."

"No."

"Yep. Oh no."

"HAROLD, ELIZABETH! CAR NOW!"

"Coming Maria!" Harry called as he started to head to the front door. I followed close behind. I closed the door and climbed into the backseat while Harry got shotgun since he was older than me. But only 2 days! On the way to pick up Alannah, Harry and I started to play Eye-Spy.

"I spy with my little eye something beginning with T"

"oh... um let me guess... tree?" I spoke sarcastically.

"how did you guess that?!" Harry replied sounding genuinely surprised.

"well Harry since that has been the only thing you have seen the whole trip since we are in the middle of a forest?" I replied in a sarcastic way. he sunk back down into the seat with a humph and suddenly I felt bad about saying it to him.

"i am so sorry Harry I didn't mean to upset you like that its just tha-" I was cut off by him laughing.

"its ok Betty I was just messing with you!" he replied whilst laughing.

"did you just call me Betty, Curly?!"

"you bet yah."

after a moment of silence we both burst out laughing simultaneously which caused us to laugh even more.

"ok kids we're here." mum said fron the front seat.

"yeah!" we both cheered and jumped out the car. As we walked into the nursery hallway Mrs. McKay came up to us and waved and being the polite and caring children that we were; completely ignored her. We spotted her playing kings and queens in the corner of the room with Jc. They were always playing together and most of the time were inseparable.

"Llama we need to go." I said walking up to her.

"but Jc said that I could go round to his house for a play after school!" she whined, so I said yes.

We walked back to the car and told mum the plan. She agreed and drove us home.

"Lizzie dear, you will have to stay at Gloria's house for a bit because mummy has to go to a meeting. I am only going to be about an hour. is that okay?"

"yes mum." I replied.

mum dropped Harry off at his house and drove down the road to Gloria's. She dropped me off and drove to her meeting.

"Hello, Gloria." I greeted my next-door neighbour.

"Hi Lizzie." she said in return. I went upstairs to the playroom and played with the barbies they had up there. I got bored after about half an hour so went downstairs to watch the television. I fell asleep a while later after watching Barbie A Mermaid Tale. I woke up and checked the time. The clock in the hallway said 9. is it really that late? I thought to myself. mum should have been back 4 hours ago. I walked into the kitchen to ask Gloria and found her sitting at the island on the phone with a shocked and scared expression on her face.

"thank you officer," she spoke into the phone so quietly I could barely hear it.

"whats wrong?" I asked curiosily.

"honey. we need to go back to your house and pack all of your clothes and the toys that you want and alannahs. then we need to pick her up. you me and Lana are going to move to America."

she started walking upstairs to pack her stuff after handing me the keys to go to my house to pack mine and Alannahs stuff. after everything was done we went and picked alannah up and drove to the airport. according to Gloria there are some very bad people after me and my cousin and have killed my mother on the way to her meeting.

As we landed in the USA I realized I never got to say goodbye to Harry...
