Gifts Of The Gods

Chapter 2

After Evanescence ended. "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas came on. I used to love this song. I had listened it to it when Matt had recommended it when he used to date me. I began to tear up. Annie quickly changed the song.

"So what do you plan to do?" she asked softly.

"Leave. I need to get away." I thought for a moment. To where? Then it hit me. "To my aunt Anastasia Rolen in Paris. She always will welcome me there."

"Why so far?" she was crestfallen.

"I need to get away. I have so much to lose here and so much to gain there! I don't want to be stuck somewhere where everything for me is hopeless." I sighed happily. "At least in Paris, I can invite you to come whenever you can. Plus I'll be able to forget about Jeremiah and Matt."

"True. Oh darlin',I wish you luck! You're going to need it knowing those crazy people there! Say hi to Auntie for me please?" she was driving me back to her house.

"Of course. I'll email, Facebook, and Twitter you all the time letting you know of all the wonderful stuff that happens." I grinned relaxing.

"Great, but you're not leaving without a goodbye party." she pointed out winking at me.

"Annie, no! You don't have to do that for me!" I objected quickly.

"Yes, I do. No friend of mine leaves without a goodbye party ever! Let alone my sister!" she argued right back.

Then "So What" went off. My ringtone for Matt. He and I were kind of okay. If you called insulting each other okay.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"To say sorry. I've done nothing but ruin your life. I want to apologize." he was grim.

"For a moment there you almost convinced me to not go to Paris for the rest of my life." I sneered.

"Wait, what?!" he was shocked.

"You heard me! I'm going to Paris, and you can't stop me!" Then I hung up on him.

Annie wooped at my words and started to giggle. "Aren't you Miss Blunt?"

"I always have been, and you know it!"

We finally reached her house and she helped me in. I was exhausted and pain was now radiating through my body crazily. She got me settled on the couch. Blankets, water, food, pillows, everything.

"Oh my goodness Zara. You must be so tired right now!" she gushed turning on Law And Order. My favorite show.

"I am, but the world is happy and moving on, so thus I will too." I nodded firmly.

"Girl, you don't need to go all old English language on me."

"Still. I like too. It's fun."

"I'm sure. I'm going to go to bed. It's about nine at night."

"The meeting!"

"Yep."

"Good night! I'll see you at the meeting!"

I curled up slightly on the couch and closed my eyes. I drifted off tiredly.
