"Lauren get down from there." A 6 year old Lauren went down from her room ready to survey the mess she tried to hide. She thought she would get away from her mother... guess not. Lauren quickly made her way to the living room where Clara is holding up the carpet with broken glass shards lay on the ground.
"Explain." Clara asked her daughter calmly. Lauren sigh in relief since she has a chance to tell the truth and so she did.
"I was playing ball then it bounce to wall and hit vase." Lauren look at the ground scared to see the disappointment in her mother's eyes.
Clara sigh going near her daughter. She hold both her shoulders then lift her chin up until they see eye to eye.
"Lauren dear, thank you for telling the truth but you have to take responsibility of your actions." Clara kiss her daughter's forehead which made Lauren sob in guilt.
"I sowie mama. I help you clean." Clara smile and kiss all over her daughters face which made Lauren giggle.
"I would love that sweet heart." After cleaning her mess with the help of her mother, Lauren went up her tree house to draw. When she reach the top she saw a girl that looks like the same age as her with gray eyes her blonde hair tied in a ponytail and she was wearing a jacket bigger than her size and khaki shorts, her black converse stained with mud. But what caught Lauren's attention is the necklace on her neck. It glowed green yet with a mix of gray and gold. The girl was too focus drawing something with her green crayon to notice Lauren staring at her. Lauren went near to see the girl drawing a pair of forest green eyes. It look so real that Lauren cant help but move closer.
"Hi what's your name." The other little girl stare at Lauren. Looking down at her paper and back at Lauren.
"I'm Y/n, its nice to meet you planet green eyes." Y/n smiled which made Lauren smile as well. Y/n focus on her drawing but from time to time she stares at Lauren.
"Why are you calling me planet green eyes?"Lauren questioned watching the other girl color her drawing. Y/n stop to focus on the other girl raising her paper beside Lauren's face and smiling wider since she finish her drawing.
"Well when I look into your eyes I feel like I am in a spaceship getting suck into a green hole ." Y/n said without breaking eye contact. Lauren giggled which made Y/n look at her in confusion.
"Do you mean black hole?" Y/n shook her head no and poke Lauren's nose which made her scrunch it up cutely.
"I really mean green. Cause your eyes are green. Duh." They both bursting out in laughter. Starting from there Lauren will always meet Y/n in her tree house and they will talk about anything and everything. One day, Lauren wanted Y/n to meet her mom.
"Come on Y/n it wont be that bad." Lauren grabbed Y/n's hand and they sprinted towards Lauren's house. She saw her mother cooking and so she tug at her shirt.
"Mama mama meet my friend, Y/n." Lauren smiled widely and assured Y/n that its okay.
"Oh hello..."Clara look at Lauren with confusion seeing nothing but her daughter.
"Where is your friend dear?" Clara question.
"She is right here. I am holding her hand mama." Clara look at her daughter's hand holding nothing but air.
"Are you sure she isnt outside?" Lauren grew frustrated that her mother is playing jokes on her friend.
"I-i told you this is a bad idea." Y/n ran outside.
"Wait Y/n come back. Mama you hurt her feelings." Lauren was about to chase her but Clara held her arm with worry etch on her face.
"Lauren did you eat something or drink something?" Lauren shake her head no. Clara decided to let her daughter go and watch her run outside. She decided to call the pediatrician.
"Doctor Miriam speaking how may I help you?" Clara sigh in relief when the call was amswered.
"Uhm Doctor Miriam. Is it normal for children to have imaginary friends?"
"Well yes, they will slowly outgrow them in time so dont worry. Is that all?"
"Yes that is all thank you doc." Clara ended the call then sigh in relief. Lauren tried to look for Y/n but she was nowhere to be found. She went up her tree house to see Y/n sitting on the ground drawing.
"Y/n I am sorry my mother did that." Y/n look at Lauren sadly. She gave Lauren her drawing and hug her tightly.
"Planet green eyes, I have to leave." Lauren look at Y/n with shock.
"Y/n please dont leave. My mother didnt mean to do that please dont leave. I need my playmate with me." Lauren hug Y/n tighter not wanting her playmate and best friend to leave. Y/n hug Lauren just as tightly and whisper in her ear.
"Bye Lauren, I will miss you and thank you for everything." Y/n kiss Lauren's forehead then she faded into the wind.
"No, Y/n come back. Please." Lauren was crying nonstop, her hand still clutching the drawing given by Y/n. Her mother immediately went to her when she heard Lauren's cries and try to comfort her daughter.
The next day Lauren waited for Y/n in the tree house. Days turns to weeks and weeks turn to months and months turn to years. Slowly Lauren forgot who she was waiting for. She stopped coming to the tree house after 2 years of waiting. She met a new friend, her name is Normani. They are neighbors and they grew the best of friends. 10 years later, Lauren was left alone at home cleaning up her room. She sat down at the chair beside the window to rest and let the breeze wash over her. She look at their backyard to see the old tree house she use to go to. With a big smile, she decided to clean it up so that she could use the extra space. She went up to see fallen leaves and cobwebs on the floor even pieces of papers and crayons but the tree house is still in good shape. She dust the cobwebs away and sweep the fallen leaves. She threw away the crayons and collected all the papers. It took about an hour to clean the tree house but it was worth it.
Lauren sat down on the opening of the tree house and check the papers. Some of it has trees and stars like aligned constellations. Others have unicorns and two hand prints. Lauren smile as the memories flood back her brain but she felt as if something is missing. She look around the tree house trying to remember anything in particular until something caught her eye. There are still papers still stuck on the floorboard. She pick it up to see a pair of green eyes that looks familiar. She look at her phone and press the camera to see her own face staring back at her. She look closely at her eyes and a sharp gasp left her lips. She took a picture of her eyes and compare it to the drawing. Lauren is sure she cant draw that well when she was younger. The drawing is an exact replica of her eyes. Lauren check the other paper to see a drawing of two little girls smiling at each other. One that looks like her and the other with gray eyes and her blonde hair tied in a ponytail. The next drawing stop her heart. Lauren saw the girl with blonde hair and gray eyes but she look older in the drawing. She staring right back at her as if beckoning her to search for her. And in a glimpse Lauren remembered everything and a whisper left her mouth.
"Y/n." Then she fainted. Lauren woke up with a groan. Her body protests against moving. She look around to let her eyes adjust and she saw that she was still in the tree house. She remembered everything and she still feels shock but her alarm cut her off and she saw she was late for her summer job.
"Oh shit." She quickly went in the house and have the quickest shower in history. She ran outside and ride her motorbike towards the mechanic shop. She quickly park it and change her clothes so that they wont get dirty.
"Hoi Lauren youre late." Gabe her boss grunted.
"Sorry Gabe." Gabe just nodded and pointed to the car that just entered.
"Fix that within 3 hours and I wont lessen your payment." Lauren nodded liking the challenge. She quickly went near the driver's side to see a girl tying her black converse.
"What seems to be the problem ma'am." Lauren ask with her charming smile. The girl look up and Lauren gasp. She looks like the girl in the drawing but much more beautiful in real life.
"Hi, whats your name." The other girl stood up and smile at Lauren.
"I'm Y/n, Its nice to meet you planet green eyes."
