Leaving you

Cole - I was 5 years old when she moved next door to my family. I was 16 years old when she climbed through the window of my bedroom, though not unusual for us to have sleepovers, this time was different. I woke up in the morning to my bed empty and she along with my heart was gone.

Addie - I was 5 years old when I met Cole, he was the boy next door. He was my bestfriend, the guy who's house I would run to after my stepfather had one of his meltdowns. I was 16 years old when I decided the only way for me to survive would be to run. I went to say goodbye to Cole, but ended up in his bed. I watched him sleep for hours, trying to remember every tiny detail of his face. I picked up my clothes and started to run.

10 years have passed since the night Addie left, 10 years of looking for her and finding no answers. 10 years to the day she fled in the middle of the night and there's a knock at my door. "Cole?" A woman asks "Cole Blake?" she looks at me, waiting for me to answer. I stood staring at the woman and then I caught the movement behind her. A little girl. There was no mistaking who's child she was, she was her mothers double, my Addie. I looked at the woman "Addie?" was all I could say.
