I still kept the key Ella gave me around my neck and had my mom put the lock necklace onto the box that I’d given to Ella that night so no one could get into it. I kept a picture of us together in there as well as small things that reminded me of her. The hair clip she’d worn all the time that I had found in a box when we first moved, a bracelet I’d found on the sidewalk once, a cool rock that another kid in town had given me.
