It came to Michael as a shock when he found out Alex was moving.
“But what about the fort and the pirates and the wars…?” Michael asked his parents. “Will Alex still come to the park?”
“Alex is going to move somewhere on the other side of the world.” his parents explained. “You won’t get to see her as much anymore. Okay?”
“Okay…” echoes Michael trying hard not to cry and keep his voice steady. He failed miserably.
That afternoon Alex and Michael were on the swings. For the first time in years, they sat in an awkward silence.

The whole ordeal would’ve been much easier if Tina had been coming with her there, but her brother was getting married and she was going to come next
