-Petra

"Axel, Olivia and I worked on it for almost two years." Jesse said as I stood before a tree house. Tall white birch trees covered the area and a massive house stood proudly in between the branches of a massive oak. A tree which stood out like a sore thumb. 

  "Wow." I said and Jesse picked up something from the leaves on the ground and slipped it into his pocket. Then he smiled bashfully. I felt my heart lift when he did that.    

  The tree house was enormous. "Petra..." he gestured to the house. "You're welcomed anytime." He stepped closer and I felt my heart in my throat. He took my arm and guided me to the ladder of the house. 

  Inside, I saw a rusty looking triangle on the floor, I pointed it out. "Oh, that's Axel's." he grinned. This tree house was amazing. And we spent atleast a few hours, inside and once, Jesse even held my hand. Or maybe I heldhis.

  When I sat on the swing, that was hanging fromthe branch of the tree, Jesse laughed. "Axel had sat it and swung so high, he made that." he pointed to a huge hole in the ground, and I laughed.
