Dream City

Chapter 22

Chrystal's POV

I am now looking at my friends and also my sister. They really are tired its already been an hour since they began sleeping.

I can't take my eyes off Xander. But then I didn't notice the tears that are already dripping from my eyes. Why! Why do you have to be my partner! I screamed aloud in my head. The chosen one's partner dies because of saving the chosen one. And I'm the chosen one. I admit it its kinda romantic but I want to spend my lifetime with him. I admit it I have already fallen for Xander.

I just feel someone tapping my shoulder. I know this touch.

Chrysty: Hey.. You do know that he loves you back, don't you?

Ughh! She disturbs my mind again she reads it without my permission.. eversince she had that ability I hated telepathy. But something shakes my head.. he likes me? I don't think so.. I think he is just close to me beause I am his partner. Chrysty shows me a face of her wanting to know my answer but I just look away.

Chrysty: You don't know?

She screamed but not that loud. Maybe she is worried that she will wake the others up. Did she read my mind... again!

Me: Did you read my mind again!? You know how I hate it.

I said. Wanting myself to change the topic. The more she tells that Xander likes me the more it hurts!

Chrysty: Your changing the topic.. which I also hate.. So its even..

She said with an encouraging tone. I just shook my head. Then I saw a frown on my sister's face.

Chrysty: You've changed..

She said it like she has a limit upon giving me words.

Me: What are you holding back to?

I said while looking at a different direction.

Chrysty: Your mature now..

She said while touching my hair which haven't been washed for two days.

Me: Now! Your changing the topic.

She was about to say something when I cut her off.

Me: Pls. Answer my first question.. what are you holding back to?

I said while staring at a beautiful painting of a single rose in a vase. I shook my head to her direction.

Chrysty: Nothing.

She said nothing but I know theres something hidden in that Nothing of hers. She's my sister. How can she fool me. Even though I was not with her in 3 years I still know her by heart.

Me: Shut up.

I said. Wait? Did I say that?! I didn't mean to say those words. Its like my mind and my mouth don't have their coordination.

Chrysty: Its not the right time for you to know that.

She said. Not the right time.. I tried to undersand the words she said. These all entered my mind but didn't enter my heart. They say that to me all the time. Ok!? All me a person who has a condition of having a problem in patience. Please! They said I was ready to know everything? Huh! Everything? I don't even know what my sister is thinking belsides of being worried for me.

I just run away from the room. She might read my mind. And nothing in that room can calm me down. I looked down and saw I am in a much higher floor. I saw a piano.. not an ordinary piano.. it was the old type pianos.
