Chapter 26: For You if Not to Late

Three days later…

Dreama was walking down the hall on the way to her room when she heard her name; she staggered for a bit not sure where it was coming from. Then she heard it, it was coming from Thelma's room.

Dreama poked her head through.

"Did you call me?" she asked. Thelma nodded and motioned her to sit next to her on the bed. Dreama obeyed and quickly silence took them, they haven't spoken to each other in nearly two weeks and to finally do so it was very awkward.

"A few days ago I talked to Erik…" Dreama quickly stood with a grunt.

"I don't wish to speak about him…"

"Sit down Dreama!" Thelma demanded her sister in a tone she never used with her family before. Dreama again sat down and fell silent.

"When will it stop?"

"I don't understand…"

"Yes you do…he loves you Dreama…why can't you understand that?"

"Did you not hear what he said to me?" Dreama suddenly bellowed. Thelma was shocked but quickly was over it.

"Of course I heard! Everyone heard! He didn't mean it he was talking about Christine!"

Dreama was silent; she wanted so much to believe her sister's words but could she? His brutal words seemed so real to her, seemed as if they were really meant for her. But was he truly talking about Christine?

Dreama was then pulled away from her thoughts when Thelma gently took her hand.

"Dreama…You know what he said to me that I will never forget?" She slowly locked gazes with her elder sister and waited. "He told me…that he was in love…he was in love with a woman who couldn't love him back," Dreama then burst into tears no longer able to contain them. Were they tears of joy that he truly did love her? Or were they tears of pain that he was in love with Christine. She didn't know…

"Erik is planning on leaving Arthur Barstool next month."

She may never know…

"This conversation was for you Dreama…for you if not to late,"

It is settled, was all Dreama thought when she left the room.
