GENNIES POV
Tom called me. Twice. I decided not to answer it.
What if he called me to grant his last wish? Then I would be back off to the lamp. I haven't even said goodbye to everyone.
It started raining.
I sat near the window, watching the raindrops slowly drip down.
There was a knock downstairs. I think my mum answered it. I couldn't hear that much of what they were saying. I suppose she told them to go away because I didn't hear anyone enter the house.
I continue watching the rain fall down my window. I'm pretty sure the rain was getting heavier. I would hate to be out there right now. Not because I don't like the rain but I would be soaked if I went out in that.
Couldn't imagine being out in that right now.
All of a sudden, I hear a thud. I freeze. I wait to see if I could hear anything else. It was silent.
I hear two more thuds. I stand up quickly. I look out the window closely, squinting my eyes. I didn't see anyone or anything. Maybe it's thunder.
I walk away from the window and hop into bed. Wait, I forgot to turn off the lights. I jump out of bed and walk to my switch.
As I was about to turn the lights off I hear a tap at my window. My eyes widen. I slowly turn around. I look at the window. I saw a figure there.
My hearts starts racing.
Who could it be? What do they want?
I make my way to the window. They tap on it again. I squint my eyes again.
They say something, I couldn't understand. Their words were muffled by the loud rain and the window.
I debate whether or not I should open the window.
My brain was telling me not to but something was telling me I should. I take a deep breath. I better not be wrong about opening this window.
I put my hand in the handle. I bit my bottom lip nervously. I slowly move the handle up and open the window.
The person enters my room.
Tom.
Oh god. I guess this is the end.
I close my window so no heat would escape. Too late but anyway. I have bigger things to worry about.
"Tom? Why didn't you just use the front door?" I ask. "Because your mum told me it wasn't the right time to talk to you" Tom says hugging himself. He was shivering.
I felt bad. Poor thing was out in the cold and rain.
Wait. I shouldn't feel bad. I'm mad at him right now.
"Why are you here?" I ask hoping that it wasn't to send me back to the lamp. "I came here to apologise" he says still shivering.
I take his hand and drag him to my bed. I put some quilt over him. I sit down in front of him.
I stare at him waiting for the apology. Also I'm very confused. This boy confuses me a lot.
One minute he likes Hailey then he doesn't, which I don't mind, then he doesn't know what he wants then he likes LAURA, which was a big plot twist, then he breaks my trust, now he's apologising well he will soon.
"Okay so," he starts, "I'm sorry I um" he thinks trying to find the right words. I raise an eyebrow. "Broke my promise and was a dick" he says sighing. I laugh a little.
"What?" He asks. " I need a better apology than that Tom" I say. It's true, he really made me think I was going back to the lamp and leave everyone. I literally cried. "Oh" he says.
"Um I'm sorry I broke my promise" he says. I nod a little. "And I will set you free. Do you forgive me?" He says. I think a little.
I shrug. "I don't know. Let me think" I say smiling a little. "Maybe" I say. "What?" He says. "I suppose I forgive you" I say rolling my eyes.
I see him smile.
"Tom" I say. "Yes" he says sounding happier. "You still going out with Laura?" I ask. "Nope" he says. I smile. "Good" I say bluntly.
He laughs "why is that good?" He asks, "because it is" I say.
He doesn't have to know I still like him.
Okay maybe I forgave him a bit too fast but oh well. He just doesn't know how he's actually feeling but everyone else knows.
"I bet you've been so sad and depressed without me" I joke. He nods, "I have" he plays along. He probably has though I can't lie.
Tom goes closer to me. "How much have you missed me" I say booping his nose. "A lot" he says doing the same thing back. I laugh, so does he.
We just stare at each other.
"How do you feel Tom?" I ask. I feel really bold right now. No point in waiting for some miracle to happen. "What do you mean?" He asks confused. Here goes nothing.
I take a deep breath in and out. "How do you feel about me?" I ask. Actually I regret doing this now.
Tom doesn't respond. Kill me now.
"Um never mind" I say awkwardly.
I hope I haven't messed up our relationship. Gosh, I'm so stupid. We've only just came on good terms again, now I might have ruined it. Never mind 'might' I most definitely have messed it up.
Maybe I was too bold.
I look away from Tom until he put his hand underneath my chin and makes me face him. He stared at me, deep in my eyes, then at my lips.
Tom pulls me in and kisses me. I close my eyes, kissing him back. I put my hands on his cheeks, rubbing my thumbs up and down, gently. Tom snakes his arms around my waist. He lifts me up on top of him. I move my arms to around his neck.
