THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Chapter-25

" aah! i'm hating this thing..is it seriously food or something else."

" You gotta eat it..you can't eat other hard foods..porridge is the best for this.." Daisy said.

" Whatever!"

Suddenly she got a call and went out.

"Savvy...how you doinggg!!" tom ran to me.

" Wow wow..no hugging!"

" Alright...when are you coming back home?"

" Today..obviously! i'm not gonna stay for another second!"

" Great..i wanna show you something.." he said and opened his bag.

" Tadaaa!!" he said showing a small gift wrapped box.

" What is that stuff?"

" Open it!!!"

" Okay.." I said and opened it." A dream catcher?"

" It's not just a dream catcher..it's a dream catcher for sisters!"

" Ohh...a dream catcher for sisters?"

Suddenly roger came in.

" Why are you holding a dream catcher?" Roger asked.

" Tom got me this..!" I said.

" Ha ha a dream catcher?"

" It's not just a dream catcher. it's just for sisters." Tom said again.

" From where did you get this..?"

" My friend Harold bought it when he visited china."

" Alright..so why is it called a sisters dreamcatcher?" I asked.

" It's an ancient belief that when these dream catchers are given to sisters..the relationship between them will get stronger" roger said.

" How do you know about it?" tom asked.

" mm...History class! obviously!"

"Ohh...!" i said.
I couldn't believe it..even though i hated him. he gave me this beautiful dream catcher. i feel really bad about myself for being rude to him.

He smiled and raised it to the sun light. it shined between the rays making it more prettier. And he gave it back to me.

" Thanks.." i said and rubbed his hair.

Roger smiled but it wasn't a whole sweet smile that he gave me. But with sadness.
Is it because he couldn't get me this before tom? or is it cause he thinks that he don't love me as much as tom does?
I was confused.

" tom...you have a project to do with your friend right?"

"Oh yea..the solar system model! it's alot of work! i ll see you later!!" he said and ran to the door. Suddenly he turned.

" Keep it safe..it really works." he whispered and went out.
I lifted the dreamcatcher, staring at it.
I can feel him staring at me.

" Sooo...going back today right?"

" Yeaa...i can already feel home!"

" Ha ha! then...yea i forgot to tell you..your dad asked what happened to your hand as the doctor said that it was swollen too much and it didn't look like you had that injury on that day.."

" God!!! Did you say about the fight to him?"

" Nop!"

" You saved my life!"
