dreamcatchers.
Sure, it was a silly thing to give to him, but I
remembered the dreamcatcher my mom used to hang on
my headboard when I was a kid. She said it’d keep all my
bad dreams and monsters away.
I didn’t really think much of it when I ordered it. True,
Maddox and I were too old to believe in this, and he was
obviously too macho for something so childish, but maybe…
Damn it.
I didn’t even know why I got this dreamcatcher, and
now, I was doubting myself. The first gift I ever gave
Maddox was a dreamcatcher. Oh, what a story to tell the
world and our friends.
His eyebrows rose. “You seriously expect me to hang
this on my bed?”
It wasn’t the response I was hoping for. My shoulders
slumped, and I chewed on my lips, the feeling of bitter
disappointment gnawing at my stomach. I thought maybe
he’d be a bit more… appreciative?
I rose to my feet and squinted down at him, hands on my
hips. Fuck him. “Look, if you don’t want it, you can throw it
away. It was cheap anyway, so I don’t care.”
Maddox didn’t say a word. He just went back to looking
at the dreamcatcher as if it was the weirdest thing he had
ever seen.
I had thought he threw it away, like I told him to.
Except the next day, when I walked into his room… there
it was.
The silly dreamcatcher I gave him, hanging onto his
headboard. It looked so out of place in his bedroom, but
Maddox kept it, close to him, right next to him while he
slept.
We never spoke of it again, but every time I’d walk into
his bedroom, that was the first thing my eyes would notice,
and it’d always be there.
