Raymond's P.O.V
"I thought you hated me."
"I thought you hated me too."
"Where are we going?", Jules asked me.
I smiled.
" Where?", she asked again.
"Somewhere."
"Okay where are we?", she asked from behind me.
Why is she so curious?
On second thought, who won't ask that question in this situation.
I opened my arms wide.
" Can't you see, it's a forest!"
"How can I see anything when it's so dark", she complained.
" We didn't take a lamp or our phones did we?", I inquired.
"Whose fault is that?"
"Mine", I admitted.
" Why are we moving in circles? I remember passing here already"
"I thought you can't see", I said ignoring her question.
" Answer me!", she demanded.
"I'm trying to fool the men who are on our tail", I confessed.
" People are following us?"
I nodded.
Yeah, you guessed right guys.
As soon as we left the party, that jerk, Miguel Gonzalez sent his men after us to kill us.
And I've spent half an hour trying to trick them.
Jules didn't notice though.
Not until now.
Jules tried to turn.
"Don't turn. They'll know that we've noticed them if you do!", I ordered.
" That reminds me, what have you done so wrongly for someone to try and get rid of you", I asked Jules already knowing the answer.
Her eyes opened in shock, then in realisation.
That's all I wanted.
I just wanted her to realise what I had realised a while ago.
"They're no longer behind us. Now let's go to paradise."

"This forest seems familiar", Jules said.
" Maybe you've been here before?"
"Maybe", she agreed.
We've been here since we were young.
Why can't you remember?
I sighed.
" We're almost there!", I announced.
"Finally! My legs are killing me!"
I pushed away some leaves and the 'secret passage treehouse' came to sight.
When we were little, Jules and I found a forest in the neighborhood.
We discovered that the forest was so huge that we could travel to half of the country using the forest as a shortcut.
Well, even if it isn't all that true, that's what we thought when we were little.
So we decided to build a treehouse that has secret passages to our houses.
Well I no longer live in this neighborhood but Jules does.
I had attached three other houses to the treehouse so it looked a little different.
To cut it short, I had upgraded the treehouse.
There were solar panels, face recognition system, swimming pools and some other useful stuff.
Her eyes shone in the dark.
"This part of the forest...We're in my neighborhood aren't we?", she asked.
I nodded.
Then she turned and glared at me.
"You upgraded the treehouse! How do you know about this forest and this treehouse? Only Ethan and I know about it so how do you know?", she attacked me with questions.
I wanted to say, " I am Ethan."
But instead I smile and say, " That's what you thought."

"Are you sure you're okay? You look sober but you should be drunk."
"I told you. I like drinking", I smiled at Jules.
We were in the treehouse and I was still drinking while Jules played Fortnite.
" Let's play 20 questions."
"Sure", Jules agreed before she dozed off.
I laughed slightly and went to Jules.
I scooped her up and carried her to one of the rooms that used to be hers.
It's still hers.
It was exactly the way she left it when we were little.
I didn't dare to change it.
I tucked her in and I don't remember what happened after that.
What I mean to say is that, right there and then, I blacked out.
