We're Just Kids

Forgetting

{Savannah's POV}

When life gives you lemons and a mentally ill friend, climb a tree. Since that's definitely how the quote goes.

I don't understand that. If you're getting lemons and making lemonade without the little sprinkle of sugar, what's the point? It's like saying, "If you have clouds, make rain!" Not, "Oh, and you'll get a rainbow." Nope. So I don't really agree with that whole "making lemonade" scenario. I'll just go out in the backyard and climb the big maple tree.

I got to the very top- or at least, as high as I could go without leaving the branches that could hold my weight.

That specific branch had a curving shape, and I could just barely sit down in the curve, but it was still comfortable. Sorta.

I sat there and thought of all the great things in life. The great big family I had, friends, health- wait, maybe that didn't apply- a roof over my head- although not at that particular moment in time- all those generic things.

They were still meaningful.

{Noah's POV}

I found Savannah sitting outside, in her backyard. She had apparently climbed their large maple tree up by the patio, and was sitting up at the top.

"Hey, Savannah!" I called. She looked down at me. "I have something to tell you!"

"What?" she yelled, quickly climbing down, and jumping the last few feet. She brushed herself off, although there wasn't any visible dirt to begin with.

"I made Shailene a Minecraft account."

"Whoa, wait, what?"

"So even if she can't be here, she's still here," I explained. Maybe it wasn't a good explanation, but Savannah just nodded.

"I thought she told us we should've been forgetting her, right?" she asked, although I think we both knew that was impossible.

"Actually, she just said to move on. Not to forget."
