Capítulo 7: Where the boy was

We walked through the forest in silence still awkward about our fight earlier. At one point my backpack vibrated and when I grabbed Jaxon, he knew what to do. Duck behind a tree. It's funny how well we knew each other, even though it had only been a month. It's kinda comforting knowing someone knows me like that. Graham used to be that person. But now he isn't.

"Jaxon," I whispered. His eyes immediately focussed on me. "I'm sorry, I just- I felt controlled, even though you weren't trying too, and all, I just have been thinking about my past a lot lately, and trust me it's not a good one,"

"It's fine, we both kinda over reacted, and, I'll admit, I've been controlling lately," He now had a sad look. "My past isn't much better."

after a long moment he said. "That hammock was for my friend, as I've already said, but my mother didn't kill him. I did,"

Amillion thoughts went through my mind, many of them saying he was wrong, it was a misunderstanding, but some small part of me wondered, what if he was a monster? He was raised by one after all.

"We were hunting, but, there was an accident my mother, she got control of me," he says. I was relieved that he was wrong. He wasn't a murderer, she had done it. It was her. "But I- uh regained control, just barely, but it was to late. If I'd been sooner- if I had just-"

"Jaxon," I said in a sharp, firm, voice. "It was her, not you," he still seemed quite sad, but who could blame him? His own mother forced him to kill his own friend. And in a way, I could relate. My mother is responsible for my miserable life. She's the reason why I'll never see Graham again.

Graham led me to a beautiful spot in the meadow, you could see the fence from here, and whenever I looked at the dark forest chills crept up my spine. There was dark green grass around us, this was one of the few spots with any grass. The sun was low in the sky, Graham pulled out a dull, brown blanket and layed it perfectly on the grass, then he put the basket on it. There are yellow, white, and pink flowers surrounding us.

Graham began to pull the warm food out of his basket. The air filled with wonderful smells. He pulled out bread, then cheese, then crackers, and finally some, fresh, warm butter. He laid a plastic knife down next to the butter.

I gasped, Graham looked up at me, "This must've cost you a fortune!" I exclaimed. "And there's not a thing in the world I'd rather spend it on than you," he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, and this was it. This was my first kiss, and our only kiss before tragedy fell.

After the most wonderful diner ever, we headed home. Graham put his arm around my shoulders, as we walked I held his hand that rested on my chest as he walked me home. Home. Home where I'd be facing my mother. Where I'd be forced to tell her about my encounter.

I become worried again. During our date I'd almost forgotten.

Graham looked down at me. He was standing directly in front of me, the sun setting behind him, his beautiful brown eyes staring into mine. I put my hand on his heart, letting it beat beneath my hand. I slowly allowed it to slip down back to my side, and grabbed my hand. he kissed me on the forehead.

"See ya soon," I whispered.

"Good night, I love you" He said in a low, quiet tone and he let go of my hand.

"I love you too."

◈◈◈

"There it is!" I exclaimed pointing to a dark grey bag. I ran up and grabbed it before Jaxon could react. I grabbed the bag. Jaxon's eyes widened, then it went black.

I opened my eyes a little, only to see the bright blue sky. It took me a moment to remember what happened. My head ached like something was pounding on it over and over. I struggled to open my eyes.

Once I could get my eyes open, I could look around, I was in a clearing, my backpack slung around my shoulder. Jaxon I thought. I looked around, frantically, and sat up. I didn't see him. What had happened? Maybe he was near?

I searched the forest until night fell, then I headed home all hope gone. It's all my fault I though. He told me it was a bad idea, but I was too stubborn to see! I entered the dark cave and the small bit of hope left disappeared when I lit the fire only to see no one in the room. Not even an insect. Not even willow. Just me. I was alone again, and that's what I deserved.
