We all did our cake cutting ritual in the dining room and went back  to living room everyone sat there eagerly waiting while I went to my room to get the keys and papers for the house.

When I went down I saw everyone chit chatting I called them to get there attention.I kept the keys on the table along with the papers and pen.Everyone were shocked looking at the things before them there was complete silence.

Emerald was the first one to recover from the shock and break the silence"Is this what I think this is?"Emerald asked.

"Depends on what you are thinking."I replied smiling at there reaction.

"No.Tell me you did not do what I'm thinking you did."Erina said.

"You know what just sign the damn papers and take your keys."I said.

"How did you do that?"Jake asked.

"Well I went to the owner and discussed the terms with her and bought the house."I said.

"So if you bought this house for the gang what about the penthouse you wanted to buy?"Chris asked.

"Don't worry about me I'll buy the penthouse soon enough I've been saving money for it too."I said.

"Wow I didn't know you're going to give such a big gift."Evan said.

"I didn't even think you'll do this."Jake said.

"I told you I wanted this house to be our gang house."I said to Jake.

"Wait I can't accept this it's too expensive for a gift."Phil said.

"I agree."Sam said.

"C'mon guys I thought we're family."I said and it was the truth they were the only family I had except for Jo and Vic.

"We're family but you worked very hard to buy this house and we didn't do anything help you buy this it's your hard work we don't deserve it"Austin said.

"But we're family  and it doesn't matter who bought what with how much hardwork what matters is for us to be together and this house keeps us together."I said.

"I agree with Lice."Chris came in front,took his keys and signed the paper.I smiled at him."Thank you".He said.

Soon everyone followed and at the end we spent our rest of the evening playing video games and watching movies.

Finally we called it a day at 1 am I went to my room and sat on my study table to do some homework when my eyes suddenly went to a certain beautiful thing.I looked at Sam's gift in wonder.

What the hell is this?!A wall hanging?A wind chime?

I went to where my gifts were lying and took the thing I kept it aside when I saw the locate Jake gave me.

Sam wasn't in the room because he went to Jake's room for playing another game after we called it a night.So I decided to go to the terrace.

I went to the terrace and switched on the fairy lights.I opened the locate and saw my mother's face which brought tears to my eyes.The second face which I saw was Xander's which filled my heart with guilt.

I closed my eyes to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks."Thought you would be here."A voice said behind me.

I turned around to see Sam smiling at me,he came to me and sat beside me."How do you even know about this place?"I asked.

"Well I took a tour around the house a couple of days ago."He said casually.

"I see."I said.

"Who's that?"He asked his eyes were on the pictures of the pendant.I stiffened at his question. 

I gulped and said"no one"

"C'mon I've got ten questions left."he said.

"She's my mom and he's Alexander my older brother."I said.

"I assume you miss them I think you should go meet them this Christmas,and I heard you've not been to London since you came here."He said.Did he think think that they were alive?!

"I can't go to meet them."I said.

"Why?"He asked.

I gulped and replied"Because they're no more."Hearing my words his eyes widened and guilt flashed in his eyes for asking that question to me.

"I'm sorry."he said.

"There is nothing to be sorry about.It's not your fault that they are dead."It's mine,a lone tear slid down my eye and I closed them to control anymore tears from falling down.

"It's okay.It's going to be okay."He murmured and wiped the tear with his thumb.

"When,it's been almost six years.When?"I said without knowing that I'm letting my guards down.

"Soon Al.Soon"He said and hugged me his arms gave me a strange comfort and made me feel safe.

"Thank you."I said breaking the hug after some time.

"By the way how could you afford the house?"he asked.

"Remember I race it gives quite a good amount."I said.

"I didn't know it gives such a good amount."He said like he was thinking deeply about it.

"By the way you just have eight questions left."I said.

"Can't you once forget to count."He said making a funny face and I just shook my head at him smiling.

Soon when I had calmed down we went down to my room and sat there he saw a movie while I did my homework.

I finished my homework and suddenly I remembered something I went to where my gifts were and took the gift Sam gave me"So are you going to tell me what is this?"I asked.

Sam who's attention was on TV screen was now giving me his attention he eyed the gift in my hand and smiled"It's a dream catcher"He said.

"What is that?"I asked.

"You seriously don't know what a dream catcher is?"He asked.

"No I don't, tell me what it is."I said.

"It chases away the bad dreams."He said.

"As in nightmares?"I asked.

"Yes."He said and I chuckled.

"Do you really think this will chase away the nightmares?"I said in disbilief.

"It worked for me."He said and I raised an eyebrow at him asking him to elaborate."When I was small I sometimes used to have bad dreams and would wake up all sweaty and scared.So when my Aunt got to know about it she got me this."He said pointing at the dream catcher."I t did chase away my nightmares maybe they can chase away yours too."He said.

"Thank you."I said and he smiled.I really felt very happy knowing that he cared for me.

I hung the dream catcher on my bed post and took my sleeping pills.I son went into a peaceful dreamless sleep.Indeed the dream catcher did chase away my nightmare.
