Recap . . .
"Well, you could say I've been learning a lot more about myself." I said, hesitantly.
"What do you mean? You're not talking about the usual teenage stuff, are you?" he asked.
"No, it's a lot worse than that."
I took a deep breath, and prepared myself to tell the story . . . from the very beginning.
<u>Chapter 13</B></U>
Lexies POV
"It all started a few years ago. I woke up one morning and everything seemed different. I don't know how to explain it . . . I had never felt like that before. It was like the world had opened up to me. I could hear everything . . . see everything . . . even <I>smell everything. Everything was so much clearer, like it was in high definition. For a while, the world seemed beautiful."
I could hear the wistfulness in my own voice. It <I>had been beautiful. The most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It was a pity that it was ruined so soon.
- It wasn't your fault. You couldn't have done anything to change it.
- But I could have <I>tried</I>. I didn't have to let it all control me. I should have done <I>something</I>!
- There was nothing you could have done . . .
- I should have just left it be.
- You know that's impossible. You can never just leave something be.
- But-
"What happened?" Aaron asked softly.
He was looking at me with a strange intensity in his gaze . . . like he was trying to look through me . . . maybe even into me. I wasn't sure I liked it. I had never told anyone any of this before, and I wasn't sure why I was doing so now. It was weird, but I felt as if Aaron had a <I>part</I> in this. And if he had a part to play, he needed to know the story.
"What happened is that I found out what I could do," I said. "And I couldn't control it . . . not at all." I could feel the tears brimming, but I made sure that not a single one fell. I had already let down my guard too much recently.
- You could say that . . .
- I can't believe I told him I love him. I'm not even sure if I do.
- Believe me . . . you do!
- But I shouldn't have told him so yet. I've seen him for what, a few hours? Who knows how I feel? I <I>can't believe</I> I did that! I should have waited to see. What if I don't . . .?
- He said it first. It wouldn't have been right not to say it back . . . especially considering you feel the same.
- But I might not! I don't know how I feel! It was a reflex action! I didn't plan on saying it!
