Tell Me A Lie

Prolouge

Eva was six years old when the new family moved in across the street. Eva watched out the window cautiously to see who all came. First she saw what she knew to be a daddy. He was tall and had dark brown hair. Next out of their car was a girl, probably the mommy. She was also tall, and had long dark hair that was held back in a braid. Both of them walk up to Eva's Mother and Father,  who had walked over to say hello and welcome. They talked for a little, for Eva it seemed like a long time, and then the mother went back to their car and let out two kids, and carried out a baby in her arms.

It was then Eva's mom came back into the home and brought Eva out to meet the new family. "Come on Eva, don't be afraid, they are very nice, and the little boy is your age." Eva's mom said when Eva was too frightened to go out and meet the new family. Eva refused at first even after all her mother told her, but then grabbed her mom's hand and walked out with her. "Tricia, this is our only child." Eva's mom told the mother of the new family.

"Hi Eva." The parents said. "Say hello kids." The mom said. The daughter with brown hair says hello. The boy was too shy. "Zayn." The mother said, as if reminding him of his manners.

"Hi." Zayn says shyly and then hides his face behind his mother's leg.

"Hi Zayn." Eva tells him. Slightly behind his hidden face, where she could see him, was a small smile. "Do you want to play?"

"Yeah." He says. "Mommy?" He looks up to her, and she nods her head.

"I will come get you when it is dinner time." She tells him, and then looks at Eva's parents. "Is this okay with you?" She asks just to make sure.

"Yes, he may come over and play. This is the first friend Eva has had in a long time." Eva's father responded. Eva looked back to Zayn quickly.

"Come on!" She urges him. He follows her as they both rush to the house. Once inside, they were sitting on the sofa, watching TV. "I'm six." Eva tells him, trying to sound awesome.

"I'm six too!" Zayn happily cheers. They give each other a quick kid hug and continue watching TV.

*********************************************************************************

Four years later, both Zayn and Eva being 10, Zayn's mom finds out she was expecting with another child. As a congratulations, Zayn and his family go out to dinner at a restaurant.  While Zayn was away with his family, all Eva could think about was him. They basically grew up together, and they were the best of friends. They did almost everything together.

Eva couldn't wait for the next day, so she could see her best friend again, and they could play together again, she had so many things planned for them to do.

But he never came back. None of them did. After a while, Eva's parents began to worry, and checked in on it, but found no information at all.

Eva's family stayed in their house for the next 8 years. Hoping and praying that they would return. Eva forgot over time who Zayn was. She even forgot his name. They never returned, so Eva's parents decided it was best to move, to get a new beginning, a new start to forget. So they pack up and moved to Bradford England, in a nice cozy neighborhood. Eva was 18 now, and had a job at the flower shop.
