Emily's Song
Prompt: Mary's Song (Oh My My My)- Taylor Swift
Chapter 1
I was seven and you were nine.
I looked at you like the stars that shine in the sky, the pretty lights.
And our daddies used to joke about the two of is growing up and falling in love.
And our mommas smiled and rolled their eyes.
And said, "Oh my my my."
The Hotchners and Prentiss' had gotten together for a summer barbecue. It was a sunny, Virginia day and the weather was perfect.
Emily and Aaron ran around the yard after eating. They were playing tag and chasing each other around.
Their fathers sat on the back porch talking.
"In a few years, they're going to fall in love." Mr. Hotchner joked.
"Honey, they're little kids. Stop getting ahead of yourself." His wife said, while laughing.
"No, I think he's right. I can see it, too." Mr. Prentiss joked back.
"You guys are all crazy." Mrs. Prentiss said. They all turned back to watch their children play.
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree.
Said you'd beat me up,
You were bigger than me.
You never did.
Take me back to when our world was one block wide.
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried.
Just two kids, you and I.
Emily and Aaron sat inside the tree house in the Hotchner's backyard. This was a normal thing for them. They would go in the tree house and play made up games. They thought these moments were the best times in the summer.
The two friends sat in the tree house and decided to play Truth or Dare.
"Truth or dare?" Emily asked.
"Dare." Aaron said, thinking of the 'horrible' things she could make him do.
"I dare you to kiss me." Emily said, laughing.
"Okay." Aaron leaned in toward her, but she jumped up fast. She climbed down the ladder and ran into the house laughing. Aaron followed slowly behind her.
