I felt everything.

Fucking everything and I hated it.

When I discovered my telepathy powers, I didn't just understand what everyone was thinking but I also felt what everyone was feeling. Usually, as the heart of my group I've always been the loud and funny one, careless of what people might be thinking around me.

So, as everyone lied asleep on the uneven ground that poked at our back in the cool night, I just couldnt drear off to sleep. I could feel everything and everyone.

Everyone but Blair Delmar, apart from the one time earlier in the day. After that it was like she just shut off her emotions.

The one girl I have been trying to figure out for years on end, trying to solve the puzzle of the blonde bitch everyone referred to her as. She had intrigued me like no one else, and now even more as I just cant figure out what she's feeling.

Maybe she isn't feeling anything at all.

Alora for example, was on her side resting on her hands like a baby, and right then all she looked was content. Like she didn't need anyone comforting her, or by her side to make her feel better because it seemed as though she was completely fine with everything that was going on. However, she had always been good at hiding her emotions with a big smile. Alora was terrified, but pushed it down with happy thoughts that she tried thinking of.

Mason on the other hand, was completely fine. His calm demeanour wasn't an act at all, he was focused on keeping his calm and staying collected. That is how he has always been, most of the time lacking urgency but always completely careless. About everything.

Then I drifted my gaze to Isabelle, a leaf shaking in the wind. She wore her emotions on her sleeve loud and clear for anyone to see. Her emotions are what I felt most, the ones that burned the strongest and loudest in quiet times. She may had looked peaceful whist sleeping, but still her mind was jumbled with endless thoughts and possibilities of the scenarios she had made up in her head.

Lastly, Kai. An enigma even to his own friends, the one person who doesn't reaction to anything. The only person I've ever seen get any kind of emotion out of him was Alora. Though the emotion was only burning fury. He lied on his back, eyes shut and one arm behind his head. He felt at peace, for some reason more at peace than earlier. He had always preferred the night, he thrived in it. So, that could be why.

Before I could even try to begin Blair I heard a small muffled whine escape someone mouth, so I quickly turned my head to see who was us. The bitch herself.

"Can you stop breathing so loud?" She gritted, whispering to me though the fire we all sat around that was now dimming.

I furrowed my eyebrows, slightly offended and slightly taken aback by her sentence but nonetheless replied anyway. "I wasn't." I dismissed.

She rolled her eyes, rubbing her the side of her head and yawned before sitting up more. Blair leaned against the graffitied bridge wall and rested her head against it. "What are you doing up anyway? It 1:00am." She asked, turning her head to meet mine.

"I cant sleep." I replied, shrugging like it was the simplest answer in the world.

"How did you know what I felt earlier?" She stared as she waited for my response, a sense of vulnerability behind her voice that I haven't seen yet. The question must have been bugging her since I mentioned her being sad.

For a minute I let the question settle in the air, thick and unspoken. I peered up at the sky, thinking how different our lives would've been right now if we all never got these powers in the first place. "I don't just hear everyone thoughts, I feel what they feel too." I finally spoke, and she stared at me with her dull, blue - grey eyes that held such pain behind them.
