Lucia was lying down on the bed of the treehouse, wating for Joshua to find her. She had zonked out as she suddenly noticed a huge shadow looming over her. He was beside her, " But how?" she thought, " He didn't know about this treehouse...". " Don't think so hard. I found out from your mum." he explained, as if he was able to read her thoughts. She scrambled up and stared at him, as if he was an alien. He waited for her to finish scrutinizing him before answering the question lurking in her mind.
" I have known you for a long time Lucia, it's obvious when you have a question to ask, it is written all over your face, love." he pulled her into his embrace and that moment was prolonged , the silence, comforting. After they fell back to chatting with familiar ease, about their day. Lucia is from a fun-loving and peaceful family while Joshua had come from a broken family, following his mother here at the age of 5 and having her as his closest companion ever since. At first, he was rather withdrawn and watching her had been his favourite pasttime but when she asked him to climbed the trees with her, another pathway had opened and she became his only salvation to a normal life.
As he listened to what she had just said, he queried " How are you and Damond?". "Fine" was the reply. Damond was not actually her boyfriend, though he thought so. She could only keep up with the pretense as she knew he would hurt Damond if she ever said that she broke up with him. She had only like one person since she was 5, him! But she knew he would never accept her feelings as she saw him broke the hearts of numerous girls. She also know enough to not confess and that he only see himself as her protector, guard and champion. Her heart was being ripped apart by him, not being able to express her love for him and acting as his companion which meant being around him all the time. " Thankfully, he didn't have a girlfriend!" she thought.
As time flew, he got up and said " Ciao!", she grabbed his arm and whispered " Don't go!". He plucked her hand off and rested it on her lap " I have to." he uttered. When the door slammed shut, she murmured " I love you..." as tears streamed down her face. Slowly but surely, she entered dreamland.
To be continued....
