 ~When I was younger my gramma would tell me stories about a fantasy land while we played in her garden,We had so many adventures together but as she got older we had to stop our journeys. Then when she passed our already broken family collapsed.~

"It's your turn to do the dishes Chloe" I say to my older sister.

"I've got a practice today Cora" Chloe says rolling her eyes.

"I've done them all week, plus if they don't get done mom will do them when she gets home" I say annoyed.

" then let her do them, a little twerp like you wouldn't understand how important sports are".

"Mom works two jobs to keep happy and healthy, she also plays for your overpriced soccer equipment".

" Well maybe she wouldn't have had to work so hard, if you hadn't driven dad away!" Chloe yells. I feel tears swell in my eyes, and I walk out of the kitchen and into our sitting room where the front door is and grab my shoes.

"Chewy" I call. I hear the pitter patter of the corgis little feet. I put my shoes on then run outside with chewy in toe. We run down the large grass field to the large willow tree where my old tree house is as we reach the tree I put chewy in the pail then climb up pulling chewy up with me. When we get up I go and sit next to the window and look out at the river.

" I miss you gramma" I say quietly, chewy climbs in my lap and rests his head on my knee, I pat his head as tears form in my eyes,I look around the walls and see all the pictures of mine and gramma's adventures, chewy gets off my lap and lays in his little bed, I stand up and look at all the memories knowing they'd calm me down. I look outside and see the sunset, I sigh knowing it's time to come home, I pickup chewy and put him in the pail, then set him down. I climb down and start walking threw the grass when something shiny catches my eye

" what's that" I think to myself, I walk over to it and see a teal looking flower embedded in a crystal attached to a chain

"Wohh that's so cool, It looks like grammas doesn't it chewy" I say looking down at him, he barks and wags his tail in response.Then I hear a car come to a stop, I look up at the house a see moms car in the driveway, I quickly put the necklace on and run up to the house with chewy following along behind me.

"Hi Mom" I say giving her a hug.

"Hi sweetie" She says hugging me back with an arm load of groceries.

"Here I'll take some of those for you" I say grabbing some of the bags.

"Thanks hun" she says following me into the kitchen.

"How was work?" I ask while helping her put the groceries away.

"It was work" She says grabbing plates

"Ouch that sucks" I say and start dishing out my food. Suddenly Chloe comes storming in

" I hate her so much, Britt ruined everything" Chloe says dishing out her food "She knows that I like Rick yet she still asked him to the sping ball"

" You like rick" I say with a giggle

"Who's rick?" mom askes

"Some bad boy on my campus that hangs around the smoke pit,he's like the opposite of any kind of good, wait I'll pull up a picture" I say grabbing my phone

"Don't you dare" Chloe says as we all walk into the living room to eat.

"And why not" Mom says teasingly

"Cause you won't like him" Chloe says

"Aha here it is" I say and hand mom my phone, Chloe jumps for my phone, I block her
