Ano. POV
My old friend Leo. I knew him since birth. We were together every day of the year, because our houses were right next to each other, and our fathers had been friends since birth. We would tell each other everything, Until that one day in the summer break between fourth and fifth grade. I had gone to our place, a huge tree in the forest near our home; It had a central center where all the branches met and formed a spot always just big enough for the both of us. I had gone there that morning, a sunny august day, We always met up before 9. We never slept in. In the small town of Platsville, pop. 560, South ever slept in. I got to the tree and i had waited, And waited, And waited, hoping he was late, or a family thing had popped up. When i went back home, it was 5:30. I went back the next day, hoping he would be there, He didn't show. That night i went to his house. I knocked and his mom answered.
"Hey Hun!" She said.
"Hey Cathy." I had learned a long time ago to call her by her first name.
"Have you seen Leo recently?" I asked her.
"He didn't tell ya?"
"Tell me what?" I asked. I racked my brain trying to think about the last time i had seen Leo. It was just another summer day. We had gone to the river and swam and fished and splashed and talked. It was a normal day.
"Hun, he left for Hollywood. Got a big shot at a TV show. 'Leo Little's Big Show.'" She told me. I just stood there in shock. He left. Didn't tell me. I'm probably never going to see him again.
"Thank you Cathy." I told her, fighting back tears. She closed the door and i walked. I didn't know where. I found myself at the tree, As i climbed up, All i could think about was how Leo could do this to me. I eventually cried myself to sleep in our spot.
Leo's POV
My old friend Gina. I had known her since birth. Our fathers had been friends forever. We would tell each other everything. Until that one summer between Fourth and Fifth grade. It was august. I had just had another fun day with Gig, as i liked to call her. We had gone to the river and had a lot of fun. When i got home, there was a letter in my room. Im pretty sure it went something like this, with more detail.
Dear Mr. Leo Howard,
You have been chosen to host a new TV show on the Disney channel entitled 'Leo Little's Big Show'. We have decided to begin shooting at 9:30 August 24. Please be at set at 8:30 August 24.
Thank you,
Disney Corporations.
I went to my parents and they told me i was leaving tomorrow with my the 6:30 am flight to Hollywood. I was so busy packing and practicing my acting skills i forgot about Gig. The next morning, i flew out. I never got a chance to say goodbye to Gig.
Two days later i got a call from my Mom, Cathy.
"Hi Leo!" She greeted me, and i could hear the smile over the phone. I told her all about LA and how lucky i was to be there.
"Thats great Hun. But Gina showed up at the door asking where you were last night. I cant believe that my son Leo didn't tell his best friend he was leaving. Guess where i found her this morning on my morning hike? Sleeping in a tree mumbling 'Leo... Why...'. You could still see the tear stains on her face." She said, instantaneously making me feel guilty. I said goodbye and that i loved her, and went to bed dreaming of Gig.
Gina's POV
Its been six years to the day tomorrow that Leo left. Im 16 now. And he is too. Every July 13, for the past six years, i dropped gifts off on his doorstep. But there is no time to mope. I got to go shopping. I get in my beat up old Chevy 1996 pickup truck, the truck that Leo and i were going to share when we grew up. We even planned to live right next to each other. When i was at the store, i saw a poster saying 'See the cast of Kickin' it in person and get an autograph at the Sonic Stadium! August 17 from 11 to 4!" I stop and stare. Leo is on that show. I could see him again. I get the groceries and write a note to my mom saying I'm going to the meet n' greet. Its 9:30 now and its 2 hours away. I hop in my truck, turn on Country FM 30.5 and hit the road. Two hours later i am in line to get an autograph with a photo of our tree in my hand.
Leo's POV
Its been six years tomorrow since i left. Im 16 now. And on July 13, i always get one package from my mom, containing her present, and a present always left on my doorstep by an anonymous person. I know its Gig though. After Leo Little's Big Show, i joined a show named Kickin' it. Ive been on it for 3 years now. I met some really nice people, especially Olivia Holt, but Gig will always have a place in my heart. Today we are doing a meet n' greet at the Sonic Stadium in a town 2 hours away from Platsville. I wonder if anybody i know will be here. The meet n' greet starts at 11, and i am busy signing autographs when someone has a interesting photo for me to sign. Its a photo of me and Gig's tree. Without looking up i ask who to sign it to.
"Gig." She says. "Sign it to Gig."
I look up and see her long blonde hair dyed blue in parts, and her blue eyes. I smile.
