Madeline’s POV
“About The Author”
And just below those blessed bolded words,
“Julian-”
*Flashback*
“Julian! You’re going to break it! Give it back-!”
“Hold on Maddie, I’m trying to fix it-”
“Gimmie!”
“Almost- there. Fixed!”
“Finally! Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Maddie- I need to put the eight ball down before you hug me, it might break again!”
“Fine!” I pouted, expecting an exasperated response in return, but none came. Eventually, I turn back only to meet his wise eyes, pain from his parents hidden behind guarded spectacles.
“Thanks JayJay.”
*End of Flashback*
“Julian Johnson”

Julian. Johnson.
JayJay
I finally have a name for the boy who haunts my memories
