Message in a Bottle in My Treehouse

Chapter 5

Feeling better, but getting depressed

"You haven't been over in forever!"

"Relax it was only six months. Gods you are so annoying."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm laying under the table when Trenton comes over. Mama and Daddy are away for a week, so I get to be with Gramp for the whole time! He said that Trenton and his parents are coming over for supper with us. I haven't seen him for a long time. 

The front door opens and I see, '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,' legs. Sorry, I had to count them to make sure I told you the right things. 

I stay on the floor, looking at them on my side. Trenton looks at me and doesn't say anything, so I get up and run to him and give him a big hug. He doesn't hug me back, "you haven't been here in forever!"

He just rolls his eyes, "Relax, it was only six months. Gods you are so annoying."

I step away from him and feel my eyes water, "I hate you!" I scream all my anger and sadness at him and run outside. I ignore everybody saying my name and calling to me. He was my best friend and he was mean to me. 

I go to the only place I can get away from them; the tree house. 

I get to the tree and start climbing, but someone pulls me down, "put me down." I try fighting the person, but the carry me back to the house and put me on the couch. I look at Trenton, who is sitting next to me; looking bored. I growl at him.

"What are you? A dog?" 

I huff and cross my arms, "butthead."

"I heard that," mumbles and hits me with a pillow. I gasp and jump on him.

"You stupid meany head!" I try hitting him, but he starts tickling me and I stop. 

"I was only teasing you Rosy," whispers to me and stops tickling me. I look at him and don't say anything as he wipes my tears away. "I didn't mean to make you sad."

"But you said I was annoying," I hiccup. He nods and sighs; holding me. "I know Princess. I know." 

He then smiles at me and holds a present in my face, "I'm sorry I was gone. I'm going back for a few months again." I gasp and hug him.

"No!" I scream at him, "you can't go again." He wipes my tears and nods.

"I have to," I pout at him.

"That was a stupid ex- um esrue?" I can't remember how to say the word. Trenton laughs slightly and says, "excuse?"

I nod and cross my arms; showing him how mad I am; or trying to at least.

"You look cute when you pout, but stop sulking." I look up and see Trenton's mama, Nessa, walking in to the living room. I feel myself get happy and I run to her; giving her a big hug.

"Why do you have to make him go away?" I didn't mean to say it out loud. It was only meant for my head, but my mouth wanted to say things. She picked me up and smiled.

"He is getting a good education where he is going. He got a thing called a scholarship; which means he gets to go for free." My eyes widen and I gasp.

"Really?" She laughs and nods.

"Yeah, but he will always come visit you darling." She pokes my nose and I giggled. I get a little happier.

"Is Tent gonna be there forever?" I ask and her smile gets smaller.

"No baby," she says in her mama voice. It's very soft and nice. "He won't be gone forever."
