"Aaron?" She asked "yes Emily? He answered smiling "I think your house might be hunted"

he immediately felt like his heart just dropped she shouldn't say that "why do you think that? he said instead, she hesitated "I heard yelling" she simply said "and I thought maybe because there are ghosts there your father is so mad" she continued "you followed me?" He asked right back Emily didn't look at him, she found her finger nails much more interesting.

Aaron was so mad she shouldn't have heard it, any of if. Emily sensed something was bothering him so she quickly said "you should come live with me and we cou-" but she was interrupted by him "no! You are wrong!" He felt bad when he saw her face, her eyes filled with tears he lowered his head looking at his shoes, ashamed.

"I'm sorry Emily I didn't mean to yell at you." He then looked at her "but you are wrong" he said almost whispering he smiled again and she smiled back "we could be pirates still..." she said quietly and we can go to India! Do you remember the book we read??" She lightened up again Aaron just smiled listening to her talking he is twelve now he keeps telling himself that he have to shield her from the truth like he's doing with his little brother. She continue talking "You only need to pack your hat and a sweater..." she stopped for a moment and sighed "I just don't want you to cry" she said suddenly, Aaron nodded "then I won't" he say smiling

"Promise? She said

"I promised Emily" he answered

That was the last time they ever saw each because the next day Emily's mother took her and they moved away, again.

she remembered how she told him she think his house is haunted only because she heard yelling she found it funny now, considering how that's the only thing she and her mother are doing-

yelling.

Her mother told her to throw the hat away years ago but she felt like if she did it will be like she's betraying him she couldn't even remember his face, the way he looked but she still felt like she would be betraying his memory, it's been eight years and sometimes she still find herself wondering how is he doing, if he's alright because back then she didn't really understand but now...

she just hoped he made it out, maybe he found his way to India after all, that thought made her smile she put the hat in a box and kept packing.

So we are done with the first part!

Next chapter will be them meeting again!!!!
