:Chapter 4:

"Close your eyes." Luke said smiling at me then turning his focus back to the road.

"Ugh, are we almost there?" I sighed and looked at Luke pouting.

"Yes now cover your eyes and quit complaining you I will pull this car over and make you walk home Mr. Grumpy Gills.

"Fine." I smiled and put my hands over my eyes. I knew he wouldn't make me walk home but I'd rather not make Him mad.

"That's a good girl, now keep your eyes closed we are here!" He said and I felt him pat my head. The car slowly pulled to a stop. And I hear him get out and then hear my door open. He reaches over and unbuckled my seat belt, then grabs my hand and pulls me out of the car. I feel the leaves crunch underneath my VANS.

"Luke please tell me you didn't bring me all the way out here to murder me and hide my body... Can't we just be friends I mean murder is never the answer..." I babbled on while Luke pulled me along trying to help me not trip.

I was cut off by him putting his hand over my mouth.

"Open your eyes." Luke whispered in my ear from behind me. It sent shivers down my back. I opened my eyes.

I was in awe. It was the place Luke and I first met. I was about 7 when I first came here. Michael and mom were fighting about something stupid so I took my doll and ran outside into the woods. I walked for about 5 minutes and made a path so I could find my way home. I was just wondering around until I came across it. It was like a place of comfort for me.

There was a tree in the middle of a grassy field with a treehouse in it and there was a watering hole behind it. I looked over at Luke. He was smiling at me. I jumped on him and hugged him wrapping my legs around his waist. He wrapped his arms around my back and nestled his head into the crock of my neck. It was about a minute and I got off of Luke after thanking him a thousand times.

"Race you to the ladder!" I yelled and started sprinting towards it. Luke was right on my tail. I was about 3/4 of the way there when Luke started to pass me. I tried to push harder but I couldn't.

"I beat you! Looks like all these years I could finally beat you!" Luke laughed. I just glared at him.

"Ladies first." He said motioning up the old ladder. I smiled ruffling his hair and started to climb the ladder. He mumbled something under his breath fixing his hair and then climbed up after me. I looked over at the door where the little hand drawn sign read 'NO GIRLS ALLOWED' that a little 8 year old Luke had drawn. I laughed at his awful kid handwriting and he laughed too.

"Wow I didn't know my handwriting was that bad." He laughed and scratched the back of his neck. He pushed open the little squeaky door and we crouched to get inside.

It was the same as we left it. The mattress in the corner, crayons spread around a snoopy coloring book, and my doll on the floor by a duck book. I walked over and picked her up. I had named her Sally when I was little. Her brown yarn hair was still a brownish color and her pretty green striped dress was torn a little and faded. She was also missing a button eye that was on the floor next to where I picked her up from.

I turned to Luke with tears in my eyes, this was the only thing I had left to remember my mom. She had given it to me when I was about 2 and I took it everywhere. I thought I had lost her forever. He came over and hugged me.

I dried my eyes and me and Luke sat on the mattress. His back was against the wall and I was sitting between his legs with my back to his chest.

"I'm sure we can fix her. Maybe get her a new dress too." Luke said and wrapped his arms around my stomach.

"No I think I'll leave the dress it's fine but I will sew the eye back on." I said looking at the old cloth doll in my hands. We sat in silence after that and I started thinking.

"Why did you bring us here?" I looked up and back at Luke with confusion in my eyes. All he did was shrug.

"I was trying to think of something to cheer you up and I know this place makes you feel happy. I nodded.

"Want to swim in the waterhole?" Luke asked me.

"We didn't bring bathing suits." I looked at luke confused again. He shrugged and got up from behind me and started for the door taking off his clothes in the process. He was down to his boxers.

"Just go in your underwear." He said standing by the door. He walked out. I got up and stripped down to my bra and underwear. Good thing I wore a matching pear that would have been bad. I walked towards the door and grabbed an old blanket on the way so we could dry off. I climbed down the ladder and turned to see Luke staring at me wide eyed.

"Take a picture it will last longer." I said Turing around and running to the water.
