I got up as quickly as I could, but Haydn beat me to it. He grabbed my hand and he didn’t let go.

“Skye..” He said softly, “Look-“

“NO!” I yelled, “AND LET GO OF ME!!”

I tugged my arms, but he only tightened his grip.

“Please Skye, don’t make it hard for me.”

“THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!”

 I punched his arm with my free hand. He twitched.

“Skye.” He said sternly.

“Let go, Let go, Let go!” I yelled as I continued hitting his arm with full force.

“I’m warning you.” He said.

I ignored him.

“Let go! Let go! Let go!!!!”

My hand was beginning to ache from hitting Haydn.

I looked up and was about to shoot him a death glare, when I saw something colder and darker in his eyes. It made me quiver in fear.

I yelped when picked me up off my feet and carried me on his right shoulder.

“PUT ME DOWN, NOW!!!!” I protested, but he only mumbled something dismissively.

He started walking.

“HAYDN!! PUT ME DOWN!” I thumped his back with my fists.

“Only if you won’t run away.” He said flatly.

“…..No.”

“Going once.” He said.

“….”

“Going twice”

“……”

“Going th-“

“OKAY OKAY!!!!” I surrendered.

He stopped dead on his track.

“Promise me?”

“YES. NOW PUT ME DOWN.”

He lifted me off his shoulder and put me back down.

I brushed my clothes before looking straight into his eyes.

“What do you want?”

---------------------------------

I sat on a wooden bench in a nearby park, licking my pistachio flavoured ice-cream with a frown on my face. Haydn sat down beside me, eating up his vanilla ice-cream happily.

“Doesn’t this remind you of the times where we were kids?” Haydn said.

“No.” I muttered.

“Aw, come on, don’t be such a frownie face” he said, giving me a playful pout

I grunted and continued licking the ice-cream cone.

It boggles my mind. It really does. I mean, how he can turn into a completely different person so quickly.

We sat on the bench for a while, Haydn pestering me to talk to him.  

“Say anything. We had a deal.” He reminded me.

“I said I wouldn’t run away, I never said anything about talking.” I said, clearly annoyed.

“HAH! Made you say something.” He smiled in triumph.

I crossed my arms and frowned.

Dammit.

“Fine,” I said “I said something? SO. WHAT.”

“It means you were listening to me”

“Hmph.”

I gave him a sour look.

“Come on Skye, I’m really sorry for what I did. I really am. I was scared, and were six for Christ’s sake. SIX. What did you expect me to do?”

I looked away.

“Please, I’m sorry.. I didn’t know it would end like this.. really..” His voice trailed off into the far distance.

I said nothing.

“I’ve been looking for you all these years, and you refuse to talk to me because of something I did in the past. I’m truly, truly so-“

“Stop it Haydn” I said, voice quivering “ just.. just stop it.”

“Please Sk-“

“No,” I said, tears threatening to fall “I can’t. I won’t”

“Skye..”

“Oh shit..” I sniffed “ I’m late for school”

I stood up and wiped the tears off my face with my sleeve.

“Skye, pleas-“

He held my hand but I pulled away.

“Please. Just go back. It’s better this way. For both of us”

I sprinted towards the school, tears cascading down my cheek.

“Please don’t leave me..” I heard Haydns voice drowning in a sea of noises.
