Same old route (Ianthony)

chapter five

I was attending Miss Federos funeral, the priest was in the middle of speaking when I turned and looked past mum and Mark. I looked out onto the cemetery. So many people, dead. I sigh and look at a squirrel happily eating in a tree. I look at the peeling bark. Peeling bark.

Wait!

*flashback*

I jumped down the tree and ran after him.
"Stop, please!"
I cried after him.
He ran and ran and ran.
He stopped by a tree, there was no way I was going to catch him.

He peeled back the bark and there was a, entrance.
He jumped through not before looking back at me and then disappearing before my eyes through the tree.

*End of flashback*

The tree in milo forest!
The tree the boy jumped through!
I completely forgot!

I turn my head back and just sit there thinking.
What could be behind that tree?

After the ceremony finished, we went through to the after party thing, which in my opinion is very disrespectful. I was milling around just talking to some people and getting some drinks.

"Hey Anthony." I turn, oh, it's Jacob. He goes to my school and lives a few houses down from me. Just because he has the hots for me and I came out bisexual , he thinks he has a chance.

No way.

"How are you?"

"Good." I reply

It was awkward for a while.

"Anthony." Mark called me.

"I gotta go."

"Okay" he says.

I walk over to Mark, "whats up?"

"We're going home now, we have a busy night."

"What?"

"Me and your mother have found a nice home, only about thirty minutes away. We're moving."

"Oh okay."

"We've packed your stuff as well but not all of it."

"Okay, thanks"

We got in the car and went home. I continued to pack. I also packed a bag for tonight, I'm gonna find that tree the boy went down and I'm gonna see what happens behind it.
