Wake up please.

Then I woke up, I turned my head and saw Jess sound asleep beside me. Who was that? I stood up stretched a little.

Why is it that it seems to be the same seen every day?

(AMMA SKIP THAT PART 'CAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW)

It was a free day for us so I took a walk in the park, a little bit of nature is really good for me and then a little kid wearing a blue shirt and black shorts caught my attention, he was sitting all alone at the side. I approached the little boy and sat beside him.

"What's wrong kid?"

"My mom said not to talk to strangers" then I looked at the kid, he seemed like my friend before. Jared?

"you know you look like my friend. Jared"

"why do you know my name miss?" he asked and looked really shocked, his name is Jared too? Wew. "I don't know your name actually you just look like my friend" I said and smiled at the little boy "Why are you all alone? Don't you want to play with the other kids?" both of us looked at the kids playing at the playground, they were running and playing. I heard him quietly sob then I looked at him.

"no one likes me. Everyone bullies me and I don't know why? They really don't understand me.." he lowered his head and hugged his knees, he really reminds me of Jared. He was a sad kid before but then me and Marshal came into his life and the three of us were really happy kids. I think?

I stood up and reached my hand out to his "wanna spend the day with me then?"

"My mom said not to come with strangers."

"I'm Celeana"

"Jared?"

"now that we know each other, let's go play?" I grabbed his hand to help him stand up, he nodded slightly and came with me.

is this kidnapping?

Then I shrugged that thought and took Jared to where we used to play, a secret base.

***

Both of us stood in front of a small house, I bet it's all dusty on the inside. I opened the door it made a creaky sound and to my surprise the house was still spotless, no dust, no spider webs, and no mess. Then I thought who could have done this?

"wow." Both of us said. We were really amazed it looked like how it looked like before we met Jared we had our parents help clean this place before and help place kids stuff so we can play after a few days we met Jared and it became our secret base or like a house thingy for kids. Looking at this place made me nostalgic,

I walked around the place and checked if the rooms were still okay.

Two small beds.

What happened to the 3rd one? It was a small room, kid's size. I sat on the little red bed, which was mine. I smiled at them memory, when Marshal and Jared used to fight over who gets to be the father or the baby in our play house as kids. Well Marshal was a wuss when we were kids, he used to be scared of everything even a little butterfly, I really don't know what happened to him when we got older. He seemed to be more responsible and now he's the one protecting me.

Then I wondered.

What happened to Jared?

The last thing I heard about him was he was moving or something, I don't remember.

"hey, kid! Com here" I called out to Jared, I wanted him to see this play house we used to play in, when he walked in the room I can see in his eyes that they were really amazed "you used to play here?" he asked me and jumped on the other bed right across mine "yeah, me and my friends used to hang here a lot but then Jared went away... and you know everything started to change."

"so this Jared guy was the heart of your group?" I really don't know, Marshal just didn't want to hang out here when Jared left. He said it wasn't the same and that was the reason why our secret base/play house hasn't been used in years. We just moved-on, I wonder what really happened to him he used to talk about his family but I was a child I didn't understand and now I don't remember what he used to tell us.

Jared used to cry a lot when he came to the play house and we always found away to make him smile and happy, we were happy before.

"probably" I looked at the ceiling and thought wherever you are now Jared I hope you're happy not. "It seems that he is." He said, I think he's right. Without Jared our group wasn't the same, he was the reason why we had something to look forward every day.

"hey kid? You want to play?" I smiled at him and he nodded "what do you wanna play miss?" he said "cut the miss thing, I'm Celeana. You can call me Cela" I said.

"Cela" He smiled and I noticed he lose his front tooth, he looked to cute, I remember how Jared looked when he was a child. "so, how about a game of tag?" I asked and he nod.

***

"Bye Cela" he waved at me and I waved back, he said he'll get in trouble if he doesn't come home early. Lol strict parents then he ran, Day well spent, I walked back to the dorm. I can't believe I just met a kid that looked and has the same name as my childhood friend, I better tell Marshal about that tomorrow.

When I arrived at the dorm I saw Jess sound asleep already, I think she just slept the whole day and I don't wanna disturb her so I changed to my pj's and sat on my bed. I stared at the ceiling. The room was dark so I couldn't see clearly. I just stared blankly at the ceiling.

What's wrong? I asked myself. Then I just shrugged I'm weird.

"bes?" I heard Jess from the other side of the room, "yeah?"

"how was your day?"

"fun, I met a kid"

"you didn't kidnap the kid didn't you"

I fell silent was that kidnapping? But I just played with him. Maybe not.

"no."

"good night" then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
