The Power Within: A Rose Full Of Emotions

Far Away from Love

"Jack, we need your help. I think we have a problem. Is everyone else acting drawn to eachother or are we getting pranked again?"
Jack looks at me and sighs, "It's not a prank. Part of this is Lewis but he just...made your emotions you already had for one another more known, I guess. Sorry, I'm bad at explaining these types of things."

Jonah speaks next with confusion in his voice, "So...what was the point of him doing the spell? Why couldn't he just wait for us to "become soulmates" or whatever." Jonah said sending me a apologetic look then shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Well, he just wanted to speed up the process. It should wear off in a couple minutes. He lost his powers a long time ago as you know and he has little magic." Jack said basically acting like everything was gonna be fine. "Well, will our emotions go back to normal or will everything change?" I asked, kinda scared...I sound like a broken record but I really hate not know what's gonna happen next. It's my second worst fear next to being trapped with Oliver and my dad in a room. I don't care about Lewis cause I've only met him like once I think. But I have a feeling he's a little similar to them.

I focus back on the boys as everything slows down, including the boys. As I look up, completely normal, I see the leaves on the trees move slowly and quietly. The wind hits my face but it feels weird since it's slowed down. Everything and everyone is slowed down except me- "Well, well, well. Hello   Mary." As I turn around, Oliver is standing along with my Dad.

When I back up, they only get closer and closer. Since Jonah's slowed down, he hasn't shifted his eyes to me yet.

"Mary, why are you skipping around here acting like you can have a life without us in your corner?" My dad says as his smile grows and grows. He looks like he has special effects on him but he doesn't. Am I dreaming right now? Did I pass out?

"You didn't pass out and you are not dreaming. We are apart of your imagination though. I guess your little friend's crazy is spreading. Is her name Andi? I like that name." My dad says with a creepy ass smile.

"Shut up, both of you. You can hurt me but you hurt my friends tonight. I don't stand for that." Suddenly Oliver appears inches away from my face, "What are you gonna do? You cant do anything. Your not tough. Your just a scared little girl, begging for someone's attention you will never get. He's not gonna care about you like you want him to. He doesn't want you. He wants his ex. Your just a rebound to him. I'm gonna be honest. You were a rebound for me too. That's why I took my anger out on you. You'll never be good enough to be the first choice. You'll never be a choice, Mary." As tears rolled down my face from his words, I didn't care if he was real or not. The words he spoke had more of my attention than him.

I'm so stupid. Why am I acting like I can have a life here with a picket fence and a nice big house like all the townies!? My head is right, I will never be good enough.

Suddenly Oliver and dad dissapear as someone behind me whispers in my ear. "Your good enough for me. Your good enough to be here, Mary. You deserve to live here. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise." As his breath hits my neck, my body freezes. "I feel like I'm going insane. My head feels like it's gonna explode." I say, as my voice is shaking and I groan in pain from the pressure of my head. Jonah whispers once again, "Mary, your not crazy. Your just hurting. You have to let it out, just like we all have to. That's why we have eachother, the people who help us the most. Jake has Amber, Jasper has Jake, I have you and Andi, which I count you as more obviously but anyway, um, and you have the brains of freaking Einstein when it comes to math and science, I mean wow...I'm rambling aren't I?" As I nod, he continues, "Okay. Sorry about that. But it's true. And Andi has Luke. And she's getting through her head...maybe. But you will too." He says with an awkward smile as he scratches the back of his neck.
