"We should probably go see a doctor." Majest said.
"No." i crossed my arms.
Suddenly, i remembered a friend from my past named Averti (aver-tie).
"Averti.... i miss her..." i said aloud.
"Who's that?" Liam asked.
"Averti? Oh. not long after i met you, when you moved away for a year, i met Averti. I was thirteen and it was young love."
~flashback~
"Are you all right?" A girl asked me.
I was sitting on a wall crying because my best friend just left.
"Yeah..." i said, wanting to be alone.
"My name's Averti. Whats yours?" She sat down next to me.
"My name is Ne- i mean Keeper." i stopped myself.
"What is it? Please tell me." She pleaded with her eyes.
"Its... its..." i couldn't say it.
I hung my head and was happy that my hair hid my face. "its... Neil..."
"I like that name." then she hugged me.
I felt a connection, so i hugged back.
A couple weeks later, i turned fourteen(i had been with Liam for a year by then).
Averti went with me to visit my mother's grave. on the way back to the city, we stopped to watch the sunset and i kissed her.
It was a magical and compassionate moment.
The sky was a bluish purplish color and the moon was full with billions of twinkling stars.
We spent a happy year together until we were separated.
We were separated by a train. i helped her on first in to an empty car. the train sped up to fast and i couldn't run that fast. i was so close.
But i failed.
It seemed that Averti and i were not meant to be at that moment.
I was going to ask her to marry me when we were sixteen, for pete's sake!
I regret not getting on with her, not after her.
