chapter 15

Samra p.o.v

I was about to spray on the intruder, who was breaking in my room when I recognize the person, it was Brian. I wasn't expecting him to be the one breaking in but I didn't know why he was using my window to get in instead of knocking the door.

"Brian?what in the world are you doing here at this hour?" I asked as he came into the room.

"Sorry ...for c...oming un..ann...ounced but I wanted... to ..se.e y..ou" he said as he tried to catch his breath.

"Ok, but you should know we have a door you could at least bring the bell" I said as I pointed at the door.

"I know that its ju..just that your room was the closest so I chose to climb up instead of the door" he said rubbing his neck.

"But still you could get hurt and my house is a three stoned house, how sis you manage to climb up I hope you didn't hurt yourself did you?" I asked concerned.

"I twisted my ankle as I was jumping from the wall don't worry am fine" he said.

"Make sure you put ice on it before it gets swollen, I would have gotten you one but you know" I said pointing at my ankle.

"I understand, I came all the way here to give you this" he said as he showed me a blue butterfly necklace.

"Oh! God!wow!its beautiful, I love it" I said as I looked at it.

"Well am glad you like it,mind if 8 help you wear it" he offered.

I turned around and he put the necklace around my neck,I looked myself at the long mirror and I couldn't help to admire it more.

"Thanks for this Brian, you shouldn't have though" I said as I looked at it.

"Am glad you like it, I know I could have given it yo you at school but I didn't know how long you'll be away" he said.

"Well despite your effort am glad you're here yo give it to me" I said as I got closer to him.

Little did I know someone was knocking on the door and we both turned to look at the door.

I quickly asked him to hide in my closet as I opened the door.

"Samra are you ok?" Mom asked as she came in.

"Am fine mom,why were you knocking so loud?" I asked.

"I was about to go to bed when I thought of see you before you sleep and why are you awake its almost midnight?" She asked.

"Mom,I know it's late you seem to forget that am not going to school tomorrow since am injured remember?" I asked.

"My bad, am sorry am still not used to the idea that you're grown up and can make your own choices"

"Its ok mom, don't you worry I have miss Linda if I need help ok?" I assured her.

"Well I better leave, I have a flight to catch tomorrow, remember call me if you need anything I'll be here whenever you want me " she said as she kissed me on the forehead.

"Goodnight mom,have a safe trip" I said as I closed the door.

I quickly opened the closet and Brian came out, he looked at me and smiled after waving at me.

"Careful, don't get hurt on your way down" I whispered to him as he went down the pipeline.

Soon he was on the ground, I watched him hiding at bushes before he climbed the wall to the other side of the wall.

I felt bad as he was still limping, I was about to close the window when I saw a girl my age waiting for him, they talked for a while before they both entered the car and drove away.

I didn't think about it much as I was admiring the necklace Brian gave me.

I then went to bed smiling hoping to see him at school in two weeks, I still couldn't stop thinking about the girl he was with though.

The next day

I woke up with a smile on my face when suddenly someone was sitting on my bed, it was none other than my mom.

"Good morning beautiful, you seem to enjoy your dreams" she said as she was holding the necklace Brian gave me.

"Morning to you too mom and what are you doing with that necklace?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same, I have never seen you with this kind of necklace where did you get it from?" She asked curiously.

"I got it from a friend and please give it back will you?"

"And this friend, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Why does it matter  to you it's not like you pay attention to me anyway "I said

"Well better return it or I'll get rid of it myself understood?"

"Ok, sure whatever and by the way why should I it's not like you know who its from"

"O know dear that's why am asking you to return it if you don't want to have a problem with me"

"Whatever,fine I'll but you'll have to wait until I go back to school does that sound ok with you?" I asked.

"Am glad we've come to an agreement i don't want to see you near that poor boy ok?" She said as she kissed my cheek.

"I don't know why I always have to do what you want ,am already grown up to decide what to do with my life mom"

"I know that samra but as long as you are in my house you do as I say so get rid of that necklace"

She then left my room,I don't know what to do anymore, sometimes I wonder why she never bothers to care for me and now suddenly she wants me to do what she wants, its  not like am her slave am her daughter.

"When will you ever let me be happy?" I asked as tears fell down my cheeks...
