Leo came home with a friend today. I didn't even know he started talking. Wow, I sure miss a lot when I hang out with Jess.

Leo was jumping up and down on the sofa while his friend was shooting him with a water gun. I'm pretty happy Leo opened up again though , I thought he would never talk like me.

All of a sudden my huge light orange sweater that went half way down my thighs and white leggings were soaked with water.

I looked up to see a little boy with dark red hair and deep brown eyes. His lips were curved in a slight smile almost as if he was holding back a laugh.

"Ha, I'm sorry." The unnamed boy laughed in a deep Irish accent.

I just stared down at him without looking away, before I heard heavy footsteps come in.

"Woah! What happened to you?" 'Uncle' Niall's thick Irish voice asked.

I just glared at him unamused , before walking to my room.

"Hey Mckenzie! What Did I Do?" Naill half yelled as i walked up the staircase.

I chose to ignore his statement and continue walking , before I reached my room. Surprisingly the door was already open and I remember fully that I closed it.

Walking into the room I see Lucas cuddled in the blankets of my bunk bed and staring at the multiple posters on my wall. Shuffling my wool covered feet along the ground to make my self known. His little head turned towards me shocked.

"I'll leave if you want me to." Lucas said sadly starting to climb down from my bed.

I shake my head no and run over to him , just to show him it is okay that he stays. He gets my point and climbs back under my covers.

"Will you cuddle with me Mckenzie?" He asked in almost scared voice.

Knowing something was wrong , I climb into my bed and move his small body into my arms. Lucas's breathing was already slowing and I knew he was falling alseep quickly.

Suddenly little footsteps were heard running up the stairs and down my hall. The unnamed boy fell into my room with a thud , before getting up and staring at me with a girn.

Oh yeah , that's right! My clothes are still wet , because of that twat! My lips were formed into a frown as I stared at the red headed boy in my room.

"Okay look lady , I'm sorry I squirted water on you!" The boy exclaimed rather rudely while throwing his hands in the air.

I just nod my head at him , still a bit mad at his actions toward me.

"My name's Alfie!" He says while winking at me.

I lifted one of my eyebrows at the small boy before smirking at how much of a flirt he was.

"Alfie where are you?" The small voice of Leo ringed in my ears.

It has been so long since I heard his voice , so long since I seen him speak. He used to be so much like me , but now that has all changed. He was becoming who he should be , even if it means without me.

"Oh , there you are! Leo's said happily while walking into my room.

Our blue and green eyes locked , before he looked away in sadness.

"Who's this lady anyways Leo?" Alfie asked rudly while pointing at me with his small hands.

"That's my sis , Mckenzie." Leo said awkwardly while looking away.

I just looked at him almost scared , it was like he wanted to forget all about our friendship. Could I really blame him though? Our times together were filled with sadness and never talking.
