Treasure part2
I took his hand, it was cold, Shuba pulled his hand away immediately, as if he had something to hide. 'Why won't you tell me what's wrong?', I thought.
We came to a clearing in the middle of the forest, that is our favourite spot in the city. A place we can appreciate the true beauty of the world, nature. It's just so peaceful, in the forest.

This is also the place we first met. Shuba lives close to the forest, he would go into the forest almost everyday to play.
The day he found me crying in the middle of the forest, was no different. We were both 10 years old at the time. My older brother, sister and I had just moved into a new house after my father went to prison. My older siblings were 20 years old, the two of them are twins. I had run into the forest and gotten lost, when I found the clearing, (for some reason it stayed clear all these years) I sat on a rock and cried, when a kid my age had found me.
"Whats wrong?" he asked.
"I... I am lost." I tried to talk.
"Where's your parents?", I started crying even more, because my mum died giving birth to me, (she was 43 at the time) and my dad well that was another story.
"My brother and sister are....."
"Amyyyyyy..." a voice called out to me.
"Lisa, Lisa I am over here!" I shouted.
My sister put her arms around me, "Amy how many times do I have to tell you, not to run of on your own, you could have gotten hurt ."
"I am sorry, but I made a friend." I pointed (I know it's rude to point at people) to the boy I had just met.
"Hi I am Shubaru Namakazi.
Kimi no na wa"
?....
"Sorry... uh... your name, what is your name?", he explained.
"My name is Amelia Andrews. But, you can call me Amy", I responded.
I never forgot the first time we met.

"Please, tell me what's going on", I sat on the rock.
"Emma, again....", uh.... his girlfriend, "she doesn't like us hanging out together." , of course she doesn't, because she knows.
"I shouldn't have come, I'm sorry!" I wanted to run as far away as possible and scream my lungs out, we have been friends for so long, then this girl comes around and ruins our friendship.
"You will always be my best friend and no one can change that, nothing can erase our 11 years of friendship."
"Remind me again, why are you dating her", I knew he wouldn't answer that question, because he didn't know the answer, himself.
"I love her!", I felt like someone had shot me in the chest.
"Ok!" I managed to say."I need your help with something. That's why I am here" sigh!
"What's do you need?" I handed the paper to him. "This is a letter, from an Amelia Soo Andrews."
Tears rolled down my face, "Mother"
