Home Sweet Home: ON HOLD

Chapter 23

My alarm goes off as I sit up groggily.

I stand up and pull on a dark purple sports bra and white running shorts. I grab my phone and matching purple sneakers.

I run past the diner deciding not to go in today. I think it would of been a very akward meeting, now knowing what I know about Luke. I loop around the statue in the center of town and run back home.

I feel the wind pick up making me want to run faster. The wind whips my pony tail across my face as cold sweat runs down my forehead. I swipe at it wishing now I had a jacket because Im getting cold.

I slow down for a moment holding my side where a cramp is growing. I walk past a line of elm trees and inhale the sent of nature.

When I was little I use to build forts I'm the middle of nowhere in these forests with Tara, Rachel and Chase ( before we became enemy's ). Sometimes with Aaron, Mason, Emily Linsey and Darcy. But Darcy was always in that ' I'm better than you because I'm older attitude'.

I sit down on a lid in the middle of the path. I inhale and exhale slowly and close my eyes. I start to feel relaxed and peaceful.

All of the sudden a knocking sound starts. I look up at the tree above me. I see a little wood pecker drilling into the tree. I look up at it curiously, wondering why it has to build it's nest inside a tree. I guess the little woodpecker sensed I was looking at it. It watches me intently. I am the first to look away.

i look at the tree in front of me and something catches my eye. I stand up to get a closer look at it.

There are little man made carvings on it. I look closer, more like words in crooked hand writing. It says:

Forever and always we will be to be together. never to be lovers. but be by each other's side and never to break this promise even if one dies. we will forever and always have each other's back, and be best friends to the very end.

It takes a moment before I relieve who wrote it. I let out a tiny gasp.

I was the one who wrote this. I run my hand over the initials. Anna Mary-Jane Walters and Chase Sean Blain Anderson . I think I wrote this when I was in fourth grade. We use to be so serious about our friendship. We wrote our full names for goodness sakes.

If we only didn't have that one fight, we would still be friends. I run my hand over the little vow carved into the tree and sigh. I here a twig snap. I jump and whip around quickly holding my hands up like they do in Kung fu movies. I look around and then look down at the ground. I had stepped in a stick and scared the crap out of myself.

I roll my eyes

"Get yourself together." I say to myself.

I walk out back on to the path home after I memorize the surrounding landmarks around this sentimental place.

I start off walking then feel a burst of energy and sprint home.

-*-

A knock comes on my bedroom door as I walk out of the bathroom leaving my hair in wet locks

"Come in" I say as I take out my laptop from the bottom of one of my bags and sitting on my bed.

"Hey." says Linsey softly sticking her head in the doorway " Can I come in?"

"No." I say flatly opening it up.

She opens the door wider " look I dont know what I did to make you upset but I really want to get past it, so if there is something I can do to make it up, just ask. Kay?"

Im silent for a moment and I nod and stare at my loading screen.

She cloes the door softly.

For some reason there is no internet. I thought we had internet. As I shut my laptop I turn on the tv.

A few moments later the door bursts open and I look up. Its Lyanna

I raise my eyebrow in question

"Um Hi?" I say muting the tv "Can I help you?"

" Ya sorry, but I really need your help." she says trying to catch her breath

" Um Okay ya sure." I say shrugging

She closes the door behind her and come to sit in front of me on mthe end of my bed

" I usually wouldnt ask this from anyone especially a hollywood star, and I'm not trying to take advantage of you and all that..." She start. she starts fiddling with her fingers and looking up at me nervously.

"Ya go on." I say nodding

"well um uh" She stutters " I need you to date my brother." She finishes quickly.
