Despite the title, this isn't a story about a treehouse.
This is a story about love.
This is about two people who allowed change and fear to ruin something beautiful.
Letting years go by,
Only to realize that they should've fought harder for the o...

My hand reached to knock on the door, but before it made contact the door flew wide open.
Before me stood Ms.Langston, her sterling grey eyes sweeping over my appearance in shock before her expression formed into one of joy.
"Jesse, it's so good to see you! It's been too long," Elena said with a large grin on her face before she pulled me into a hug.
"It's nice to see you too Ms.Langston," I said smiling back at her as we entered the house.
"I've told you thousands of times to call me Elena, you're practically the daughter I never had. I can't believe Myles didn't tell me you were coming, he knows how much I've missed your presence around he-" She was speaking a thousand miles per minute, an excited grin on her face.
"Okay, mom I think that's enough," Myles said making his appearance known.
Elena rolled her eyes at her son, annoyed by the interruption.
"How dare you not tell me Jesse was coming over," Elena huffed out glaring at her son, who shrunk back in fear.
"It was last minute, and besides don't you have to meet with William," Myles explained sending glances of help my way, while I tried to stifle a laugh.
It was pretty last minute.
I was just finishing dance practice and Myles invited me over to hang out and seeing as I had nothing else to do for today, I agreed.
"Mhm, if you say so," Elena replied before turning back to me.
"Like Myles said I have to go, but there is shrimp alfredo on the stove for you to eat for dinner. Oh, but do come by again when I'm less busy so we can hang out. I'm sure Myles will be sure to inform me," Elena said before giving the both of us a quick hug.
"Hi," I said once the front door shut from behind us, a grin on my face.
My grin widened as Myles smiled back at me before pulling me into a hug.
"What's this for?" I asked hiding my grin in his chest.
"I missed you," He whispered into my hair, a chill running down my spine.
The past week has been hectic, with us both being busy with school, and me with dance practice and him with training.
We haven't been able to spend much time with one another in person. Our source of communication being during lunch, texts throughout the day, and late-night phone calls.
Though none of that compares to spending time with him in person.
"I missed you too," I said as we pulled away from one another.
A smile lit up his face at my words.
Slipping his hands into mine he pulled me into the living room where Kyle was sitting on the couch his attention directed towards the tv that displayed The Princess and The Frog.
