It All Stared With A Kick

Chapter 1 ~ The Treehouse

Running across the green plastic grass feeling the adrenaline pumping through my body. Fans going wild and jumping cheering my name. 20 seconds on left on the clock I shoot at the goal and..

"Again." My coach says.

"Can't I take a break. I've been doing this for a hour." I said slightly annoyed.

"I'm sorry but how are you supposed to ace the last shot on the goal?" Coach says,"That's what I thought... Again!"

Trying over and over until soccer practice is over. Walking to the changing room opening my gym locker and changing into a pair of adidas leggings and my blue jacket. Walking over seeing my brother in his blue jacket and joggers.

Hey guess we are twinning, twinning is winning ( note the sarcasm)! His newly highlighted brown hair doesn't fit him well. That and also mom is going to be really mad with him.

"Hey sport," my older brother says to me. I gave him a grunt instead, still being upset with coach.

"Not so good of a practice today, Coach made you upset I assume. Come on let's go," he says as he gets into mom's mini van.

"Mom is going to yell at you when she sees you dyed your hair." I say as pull into the driveway of our house.

"Oh it speaks, and I know that and I wanted to be different than you." He states like I'm stupid. I might have forgot to say that my "older brother" is my identical twin but because he was born first he is older....logic! I start to act like I'm in deep thought to scare him.

"Ashley...?" He asked waiting scarred for a response.

"Boo!... Axel?" I said while laughing. Axel knew what was going to happen next and I was so not prepared. Walking out of the silver colored mini van, we heard our parents fighting again.

I tried to ignore it yet, Axel knew how much I hate when people fight. He gave me a look that asked if I was ok. I tried to say yes but I couldn't and he understood.

"Come on follow me," he said and we went to the backyard. I haven't been back here since our last family reunion and it was like 3 months ago. Then, I realized that he is taking me to our treehouse.

My father was supposed to take down 5 years ago. When we climb the ladder to get to the treehouse, I also realized that there were so many memories here. When dad, mom and us had water balloon fights. Or when dad burnt the hamburgers and thought no one saw, but Axel and I did because we were up in the treehouse.

Playing house with Axel and our cousin, Maya. Remembering it all it brought me to tears because we were all so happy without a care in the world.

"Come here." Axel says as he starts to hold me in his arms like trying to protect a little sister from any harm. This is our place where Axel and I feel as if the negativity that is in our home doesn't exist.
