I throw my phone onto the bed and roll my eyes at Lucas' persistence. Walking out of the house, the sound of the neighbours chattering and the gentle rustle of the leaves fill the air and I tug at the sleeves of the hoodie I had thrown on top of my clothes before I left the house, even though it is about 90 degrees outside.

I spot Lucas leaning against the large oak tree that's planted right in between both houses. Maybe because I've calmed down, maybe it's the exhaustion I'm feeling or maybe it's the overwhelming amount of feelings tugging at my heart but I longer feel the urge to slap Lucas across the face when I see him.

He throws me a small, pitiful smile and I immediately know what he wants to talk to me about.

"Lets go to the treehouse," I tell him, nodding towards the backdoor leading to my garden.
