The rain poured down hard on the roof. I couldn't sleep, I didn't want to either. I sensed danger, but I didn't know where to look. I just know, that it's coming very soon.

I breathed the fresh Cheshire air, the smell of mown grass mingling with the sweet smell, of the rain colliding with the soil yesterday night. I closed my eyes and laid back on our tree. My tree, I corrected myself. I winced at the thought of who I once shared this very tree with. The naive laughter, suddenly swarmed the air around me, and didn't want to leave until I was fully submerged in his very memory. I felt like someone had just ripped open the scars that I thought i had sewed up very well these past few years. Harry. Thinking of the name, hurt. I stood up and brushed the soil from my clothes away and slowly walked back to our farm, where I spent most of my childhood with Harry and his family. I held onto the necklace that he had given me when we were once so young and reckless, even though he was gone, that one part of him had been left behind and I don't think I could ever take that away. It's what kept me alive, but what also makes me go insane, it had a power over me, just like Harry once had.

I got a sudden flash, of the past. The same thing's been happening to me for a while now, It was once again of me and Harry as children. His mother called us in to eat but Harry was going to say something 'important' just after he gave me the necklace, till this day i'll never know. I don't want to know either, my feelings for him are gone. 'He's never coming back' I laughed to myself. Or so I thought.
