We got home and my mum and dad greeted us. I was still holding the minecraft figure by I hid it. I didn't want my mum or dad to see it! As soon as all the 'welcome home!' 'What did you do?' 'What did you talk about?' Thing was over I went straight into my room and added Tom onto my contacts list then I phoned him.
T:Tom N:Netty

T:Hello?
N:Hey Tom! It's me Netty!
T:Oh hey Netty!
N:I just thought I'd call you so I can add you to my contacts list and also to see how you're doing!
T:I'm doing ok. People have just said that I have Cancer and that I'm dying even though I have treatment. They spread that rumour and now everyone thinks I have cancer!
N:Tom you need to stand up to them! Tell them it's wrong to say these things!
T:I tried once and it got worse.
N:Well you can't just sit back and watch it happen!
T:Well I have been doing so for the past year and I'm still here!
N:No Tom! This needs to stop! I don't even care I will take this to Twitter if I have to!
T:Netty don't! Please!
N:Well it's not going to get any better! I don't care! Have my iPad at the ready now and I'm going on Twitter!
T:Netty! Everything will sort itself out! Please for me!
N:Tom it's for the better! You can't live like this knowing that over 10,000 people think you have cancer!
T:I can! I have done it for a year so I can do it for another 1,000,000 years!
N:Tom I'm on Twitter! Make up your mind! I'm doing this anyway. Will you let me or will you hate me when I do it!
T:I can never be mad at you so I guess you can do it.
N:Ok it's sent! I tagged you in it also!
T:Thanks... (A/N some of this is in a sarcastic way like this part)
N:I'm sorry Tom! It was the right thing to do!
T:It's ok. I have to go now anyway. Bye.
N:Bye Tom! Please don't be mad at me!

And the call ended. Had I just made him hate me? Stampy then walked into my room. "What was that about?" He asked me. I looked up to him.
"Everyone is saying that Tom has cancer and this has been going on for years and he has done nothing about it!" I replied. He came over to me and sat on my bed.
"Why would they do that?" He asked me.
"Someone started it because he is bald so everyone believed him. Why do people do this?" I replied. Stampy then put his arm around me because at this point I was crying. Why? I felt at this point that I needed to protect him! "It's ok! There are just people in this world who are mean. Even though they grow up with the same rules we did they still don't know wrong from right!" He answered. I then hugged him and he hugged me back. We stayed like that for about 10 minuets.

When we let go I had stopped crying. "You ok?" He asked me.
"Yeah, sort of. I'll be ok!" I whispered. I looked up and smiled at Stampy.
"Good! I don't like it when your upset! I know I am the youngest but I still have to take care of you when Rachel is away!" He replied rubbing my back.
"I know!" I answered he smiled and left my room. I just lay on my bed thinking about everything. I felt it was my duty to protect Tom! Did I have feelings for him? I think I did! But there was no way he would like me! He is so perfect! And I grow up stuck in my room because I don't want to become a traveler who is barely ever home! I fell asleep that way. Just on my bed. But I had a weird dream...

Tom died. Everyone was saying he died from Cancer. I was the only person at his funeral. When I cried because he was dead everyone laughed. No one cried with me. Then I saw an angel. It was Tom. "Come with me!" Echoed around. Tom held out his hand. I grabbed his hand and I was being pulled away. Now everyone was crying. I looked below me a dozen times. "Why are you not taking my friends and family?" I asked Tom. "They do not appreciate us. No one. They are self centred. No one cried for me but they cried for you. They laughed when you were the only one who cried. We can now be alone. Peace!" Tom's familiar voice echoed. I nodded and we carried on up. We reached the top and Tom kissed me on the cheek slightly. We hugged. "You were the only one who protected me! You may've only knew me for a day or two but you were my sunshine in those days!" He exclaimed. I smiled.
"Tom, I would do anything to protect you, be with you, love you!" I replied. We held hands and walked towards a rainbow. We walked all the way to the edge. Tom jumped. "TOM NO!" I screamed as he plummeted to the ground. I jumped off with him. I woke up.

My mum was shaking me. "Netty! Netty!" She was exclaiming. I sat up.
"What?" I asked her. She grabbed my hand.
"You started crying in your sleep and you screamed Tom a dozen times!" My mum answered. "I had a weird dream! Tom is my friend and well you see..." I answered. I told my mum the whole story and when I said he jumped her jaw dropped. It dropped even further when I said I jumped. "Netty, are you sure you're ok?" She asked me.
"I am now! I just needed to tell someone about my dream that's all!" I replied. My mum smiled. "Ok but just come to me if you're not feeling well!" She said. I nodded and she left. I didn't want a dream like that again! No way!
