Amanda's POV:

Lunch time came and I sat in my usual spot, outside, under my favorite tree. This is the tree where Christian and I carved our names, I remember that day like it was yesterday.

*flashback*

My 13 year old self and Christian's 13 year old self ran outside as it was lunch time.

"Where do you wanna stay Mandy?" He asked me with a smile.

"Oh can we stay by that tree? It's pretty shady there, I don't wanna sweat." I told him

"Of course, c'mon." He said and grabbed my hand walking to the tree I pointed to.

"From now on this will be our tree, this is where we'll eat lunch or go to when we feel sad, alright?" He said and I gave him a big smile and nodded my head.

"Can we carve our names?" I asked

"Sure, I don't think anyone will mind." He said and took out his scissors that we were told to bring to class and started carving something in the tree.

(A/N: Hello, author here, so you all are probably wondering why he has a pair of scissors in his bag. Where I'm from, the students are required to bring all school supplies in their bag and that includes scissors I guess, so yeah I'm just explaining because you guys are commenting about how it's weird that he has them in his bag. That's all, love you lots!)

"There we go, take a look." He said and pointed to the spot where he was carving. It said C+A and it was in a heart, under the heart is said 'Together Forever'. I looked at Christian and gave him a smile.

"You promise we'll always be friends, Chris?" I asked him

"I promise Mandy." He said

"Wait, let me make it official." He said and cleared his throat.

"I, Christian Adrian Matthews, promise to be Amanda Bridget Jones' best friend forever." He said and I just giggled at him.

"C'mon do it." He said

"I, Amanda Bridget Jones, promise to be Christian Adrian Matthews' best friend forever." I said and he gave me a smile.

"Now it's official." He said and gave me a hug.

*flashback over*

I guess promises were meant to be broken, I looked at the carving and almost cried. What did I ever do to make him hate me so much? I don't remember doing anything to him, but he did say that he was only my friend because he felt bad for me. Why is everything so complicated? I just wish everything would go back to the way it was, but not all wishes come through.

I didn't have the appetite to eat so I just took out my sketchbook and looked around for something to draw. 20 minutes later, I finished my drawing, I decided to draw the couple that was sitting on one of the benches, they looked so happy.

I sighed and shook my head, I don't deserve love. I don't deserve anything. I'm just a broken teenage girl with no parents or friends. I'm a loner, and I always will be one. I kept my sketchbook and got my backpack. I stood up and walked in the building and walked over to my locker.

*After school*

School finally ended and I started my walk to Mrs Ferguson's house. When I got to her house, I gently knocked on the door and waited. The door opened and I was greeted by Matt.

"Hey bud, where's your Mom?" I asked him

"She's inside" He said and grabbed my hand, I closed the door with my foot and let Matt lead the way. He lead me to the kitchen where I saw the twins sitting on the counter and Mrs Ferguson cooking.

"Hey Mrs Ferguson." I said, she turned around to face me.

"Oh hello Amanda, here to pick up the twins?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"Amanda!!" Both the twins exclaimed and I just chuckled and walked over to them.

"Hey guys, did you have fun?" I asked them

"We had so much fun Amanda! After lunch, Mrs Ferguson brought me, Matt, and Ashton to eat ice cream!" Ashely exclaimed and I just gave them a smile.

"Well I'm glad you guys had fun, but it's time to go home now." I said and they both nodded their heads.

"Cmon, go say thank you to Mrs Ferguson." I said and put them down on the floor and they ran to Mrs Ferguson and hugged her legs.

"Thank you Mrs Ferguson, we had so much fun." Ashton said

"Oh no problem dears, now you guys be good for your sister." She said and kissed both of them on their heads.

"Thank you for taking care of them Mrs Ferguson." I said

"Anytime dear." She said

"Now go say bye to Matt." I told them and they ran to their friend and had a little conversation. They're so cute, I can already tell that they will be close friends when they grow up. The twins ran back to me and gave me a smile.

"Alright, let's go now, get your stuff." I said to them and they went to get their stuff in the living room.

"They really do adore you Amanda." Mrs Ferguson said

"I can tell that you'll be a great mother when you grow up." She added and I sighed and gave her a smile.

"Thank you Mrs Ferguson." I said

"Your parents would have been so proud of you." She said and I looked at the ground.

"I miss them so much." I said, Mrs Ferguson walked over to me and pulled me in a hug.

"I know sweetie, but they're looking down on you and I know they're proud of what they see. You're a very beautiful girl, Amanda, very kind, responsible, and you have a good heart, even I am proud of you." She said and the tears built up in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

"Thank you Mrs Ferguson, that means a lot." I said

"Don't mention it sweetie, now go home and be careful alright." She said and I nodded my head. The twins came back with their stuff and gave me a smile.

"We're ready!" They both exclaimed

"Alright, let's go." I said

"I'll walk you out." Mrs Ferguson said and we walked to the door and we said or goodbyes and me and the twins walked back home. When we reached home, I sighed and opened the door.

"Where the hell have you been?"
