Prologue
Noah approached the young girl that was sat shivering on the pavement, her arms around her knees. Silently he sat down beside her and put his arm around his shoulders, hugging her close.
"I'm sorry." he whispered into her hair. She took her arms from her knees and turned to him.
"I have to leave." She said her tears staining her cheeks.
"Oh, okay. I'll see you tomorrow then," Noah started to get up. He held out his hand to her.
"No, you don't understand, I have to go, permanently." A fresh tear rolled down her cheek.
"I don't understand."
"Mom and Dad said in their will they wanted me to go to this school in England. I leave tomorrow morning."
"So you're just leaving," Noah looked down at his best friend. "What will I do without you?"
"You'll be okay, I mean you're six, that's like really old."
"Yeah but you're five, you shouldn't have to do this on your own."
Noah looked at his best friend in the entire world, Alyssa Darkes; his eyes were prickling, threatening to fill with tears. He hadn't cried since his Dad left. Silently he pulled the now standing Alyssa to him and hugged her tight.
"Promise me you'll write everyday" He said thickly, into her hair.
"As long as you do." Noah felt her tear seep through his top.
Noah reached into his pocket and pull out a silver box. He handed it to Alyssa
"I was going to give you this for your birthday but I suppose I should probably give it to you. Alyssa opened the box. Inside, nestled in a silk cushion was a charm bracelet.
"And I thought you should have this too, I looked all over for one that have one. But I couldn't find one so I had to go second best" Noah pulled a small charm out of his pocket. It was a silver pair of ballet shoes.
"Oh Noah, it's beautiful." She put her hand on Noah cheek and kissed the other.
"I'll come back, I promise." She walked back into the house. Noah looked after her
"Promises are broken." He whispered
a betcha thought the girl was Rachel! But Alyssa is incredibly important so I thought you should know her background. Reveiw please!
