“Eva I like you” said George.

 Eva stood there not knowing how to respond . She thought it was one of his jokes but the look on George face made it clear that he was very serious. Eva has never seen George this serious before. George slowly moved closer towards her “ you don’t have to tell the answer right now” said George in a deep voice. Eva stood there looking at him with a surprised look. “ So I was your special girl?” asked Eva nervously . “Eva I know you like Richard but I really wanted you to know that I really like you. This is not a sudden feeling, I had liked you for a really long time. When you guys broke up, I was planning to tell you but there was never a good time to tell you this” said George holding Eva’s hands.

“ George but I am dating him! What do you want me to do?” asked Eva angrily.

“ I know but if you could give us a chance it might work out!” said George with a big smile on his face.

Eva panicked at first but then she slowly calmed herself and sighed . “ George I like you too, you are a great friend! but I don’t want to loose you. This friendship is very precious to me. Please understand” said Eva as she grasped Georges hands tightly and gave him a nervous smile.

George wasn’t surprised at all . He removed his hands from her grasp and with a very serious face he asked “ So do you love him?” 

“ What? does that even matter right now? Asked Eva in an angry, high pitched voice.

“ yes it does matter” replied George in the same angry and high pitched voice just like Eva.

Eva gulped, “ NO, I want to see how things goes, so I am not sure if I love him but yes I like him so much” replied Eva in a dull voice. She saw the look on Georges face and she was able to feel that things are not going to be the same with George here after. Her head ached so much. She was trying to control her tears. George nodded his head with a serious face with his hands on his hips. He remained quiet . “ Okay Eva good night” said George as he walked into his dorm.

Just then Kat and Astrid had completed their dinner. “ So why don’t you guys go inside and refresh ?” asked Astrid’s mum with a smile. So Kat and Astrid went inside. In the middle of the hall they had big stairs that led to the rooms . They went up , the 2nd room to their left was Astrid’s room. Among the other 5 rooms the room next to her room was Astrid’s sisters. As they walked towards her room she noticed that the first room was opened. When she looked into it she noticed a lot of boxes. Astrid quickly called for her dad. “Hey dad why are there boxes on this bed? Asked Astrid. 

Kat went inside to look through the boxes. “ Oh yeah! Well.. these are your grannies stuff” said Astrid’s dad. He thought she might get angry but Astrid was very happy. “ Really??” asked Astrid with a big smile.

“ yes dear but we sold grannies house so we relocated her stuffs here” said Astrid’s dad with a smile.

The big smile on her face vanished. “ You sold grannies house??” asked Astrid with a surprised look . why didn’t you tell me? I grew in that house but you didn’t care to tell me that you sold it?” asked Astrid in an angry voice . she was very angry. Astrid’s dad tried to calm her down but she ran down the stairs, she took her car keys and the key to the house and left. Kat who was watching this looked at Astrid’s dad and asked him not to worry. He smiled at her and left. Just after few minutes Kat received a message from Astrid “ I will be back within an hour or so. I am really sorry”.

“ It’s alright. Be safe” replied Kat.

Astrid rode the car at its maximum speed. She was sad as well as angry. She reached her Grannies house. It was small vintage house surrounded by gardens. Her head was filled with memories. She remembered how her granny cooked her that amazing stew. She went inside the house. They had removed everything. The house was painted and all the furniture’s were gone. She went into her grannies room. She saw that the sofa was still there. She removed her coat and dusted the sofa and sat on it. Her grannie used to knit sweaters siting there. When Astrid was little whenever she felt sad or wanted to see her parents her granny would make her to rest her head on her grannies thighs and pat her to sleep. She was unable to control her feelings and cried out loud. Her eyes burned so she rested her head on the hands of the sofa. “ I wish I could see you again” thought Astrid to herself as she fell asleep there.
