The girl and boy walked hand in hand down the quiet street leading to a park, swinging their arms and laughing without a care in the world. They were 10 and had been friends since they were 4. It seemed nothing could break this friendship up. It was settled, they were friends for life. Or so they thought.

Swinging on the swings they felt unstoppable, they laughed and talked and laughed some more.
The girls Auburn hair was flying in the wind behind her, her chocolate brown eyes were sparkling in the sunlight, reflecting her bubbly personality.
The boy shook his sandy blonde hair as his friend let out a loud "WEEE, WOOHOO!" From the swing next to him. He wiped tears of laughter from his electric blue eyes.
Suddenly the boys mother came. She looked completely different from her son. While he had soft, kind features she had pointed and sharp features, while he had soft light blue eyes, she had cold black ones, while he had sandy blonde hair with a fringe that covered his left eye, his mother had brownish black hair with no fringe. The only feature they shared was their pale skin tone.
"Come on Jake, we're leaving." She said in a hauty cold voice.
"Where mum?" The boy asked dread sinking in his stomach.
"Away, far away." His mother replied.
"Why?" The girl interrupts, fighting back tears, she can't loose her best friend, she absolutely can't!
"That's none of your business Kaylee" she says wrinkling her nose at her sons taste in friends, "say goodbye to your friend Jake, you won't be seeing her again."
Tears streamed down the two friends faces as they embraced for what was thought to be the last time.
"Here," Jake says pulling a beautiful key necklace from his pocket, "take this and keep it to remember me, we will see each other again and-"
"How can you be so sure, Jake?"
"I just am." He hands her the necklace.
"Is this-"
"Yeah it's the one mum told me to keep away from my father."
"Wouldn't she be mad?"
"No. It's safe with you Kales"
The go hug again but Jakes mother pulls Jake away and storms off. The kids shout their last goodbyes to each other as they fade from each others view.

Kaylee always wore the key necklace, she swore never to take it off.
The both made attempts to call each other but never succeeded.
And for 6 years Kaylee never knew what happened to Jake Cameron Outen.
