Drip. Drip. Drip.
"The rain."

Me and Josh had sat in our treehouse for hours, just listening to the rain patter on the leaves of the trees.

"I don't want to go home." I say to Josh keeping my focus on the rain.

"Than don't." Josh moved his eyes on me.

"I have to eat dinner, and homework." I answered Josh and started towards the ladder.

"I'll see you tomorrow, right?" I asked him when I had my feet on the wet wood ladder.

"Ya, and I think I'm gonna be up here for awhile so if you wanna come back." He said staying by the window.

"Ok I'll try, bye Josh." I closed the hatch and climbed down.

I dropped to the wet dirt on the ground. I loved the smell of wet wood and dirt. For some reason it was comforting.

I didn't want to go home.  But my mom had been forcing me to eat more since the whole incident.

I entered the house quietly, I heard everyone eating in the dining room. I trudged in and took a seat.

"Everything okay Tyler?"

"Yes mom, I'm fine." My mouth answered but my brain answered, I'm a goner.
