Chapter 14

“I can’t believe your leaving me!” I cried.

“I can’t either!” John agreed.

“Then why are you doing it?” I asked him.

“I have to!” He told me shortly.

“Please, please don’t leave me!” I sobbed into John’s shoulder, now hysterical that I was going to lose my brother, when I had just gotten him back.

“I’m sorry but we have to go back to college.” He told me apologetically, while he wrapped his arm around Natalie’s waist.

“You just arrived though! I’m going to miss you so much!” I continued as I cried.

“I will miss you too! You’re the best little sister in the world.” He told me, almost tearing up. Natalie just smiled a sad smile as she watched our goodbye.

“I’m your only little sister.” I informed him causing him to laugh.

“I know, and that’s why I love you the best!” He replied.

“You mean if we had another sister you would love her more than me?” I asked him knowing the answer. We had joked about this so many times before that I knew what to expect.

“Of course not, you would just have to split my heart.” He laughed.

“And what about Natalie?” I questioned, not knowing what to expect. At this I saw Natalie turn towards John, just as interested in the answer as I was.

“She gets my whole second heart.” He smiled, and pulled her into a kiss.

“Not in front of me please! I’m allergic to watching this!” I screamed covering my eyes. This was a joke that had been going on between us during the 2 weeks they were here.

“Sorry!” He laughed turning back to me.

“It’s alright. Now let’s talk about the fact that you have two hearts and need surgery to take one out.” I fussed.

“Nah, I want to keep both if my hearts.” John objected.

“That’s unsafe! You have to get rid of one of them!” I continued.

“Alright, alright, I admit I only have one heart, and most of it is in Natalie’s possession.” He gave in.

“What?!” I fake screamed, even though I knew this already. “You love someone more than yourself? Well that’s new.”

“I know, right?” John agreed, catching on. That’s what I loved about him. He could easily guess what I was trying to do…

“John, I never knew you were one of the stuck up jocks before this.” Natalie gasped playing along, proving to me just how perfect they were for each other.

“That isn’t true!” Josh objected from the side, making the fact that he had not caught on way too obvious.

“Josh!” John and I groaned and Natalie just chuckled.

“How did you not catch on? Even Natalie got the joke, and she’s only been around us for a week!” I complained.

“I guess I’m just not cool enough to understand these things.” He sighed, skipping to the part where he admits that he isn’t cool. It did spare us an argument though.

“Well, you should spend more time with John and become cool!” I stated way too cheerfully.

“I think I already spend enough time with him to kill me!” Josh replied.

“Then you just don’t spend enough time around me! And that’s why you should stay!” I told him, getting to my point.

“I’m really sorry, but for once your brother is right, we really have to get back to college.” Josh told me.

“I’m going to miss you guys so much!” I whispered as I hugged him.

“I’ll miss you too!” He replied before passing me back over to John.

“Are you sure you want to be a good boy and go back?” I asked him, with little hope.

“I’m sure.” John told me, a tear running down his face.

“Please. Please stay!” I cried again.

“I can’t.” He cried too. We weren’t good at goodbyes.

 “Don’t leave me! I won’t be able to survive through this alone!” I told him.

“Who said you had to survive this alone?” John asked me, catching what I was hinting at.

“Well you were the only person there to help me! Mom and Dad won’t even tell me everything!” I fussed.

“Have you talked to Mrs. Wolfe yet?” He asked me and I just shook my head no.

“Of course!” He breathed obviously realizing something. “Talk to her as soon as you can! Call me if nobody tells you anything afterwards!”

He slowly pulled out of our embrace, kissed my cheek and the four of them ran off to catch their plane, which they almost missed. Only they could do something like that.

********************************

As I trudged through the supermarket grabbing the items I was send to buy, I couldn’t help but think about what my brother had told me. Talk to Mrs. Wolfe. Why Mrs. Wolfe? What was so wonderful about her? Could I trust her with my secret if everyone else had been able to trust her with theirs?

Everyone kept saying that if I talked to Mrs. Wolfe everything would start to turn good. That everything would start resolving it’s self. Maybe it really was time for me to talk to her. It was time that I tried trusting someone with my big secret.

A strong jolt pulled me out of my thoughts. Suddenly my body’s temperature started alternating between hot and cold. You can’t even imagine how many stares I was getting as I stood frozen in the middle of the supermarket and sweated for half a minute, then suddenly my teeth were chattering and my whole body was shaking for half. I couldn’t get rid of the sensation, and my feet were frozen to the ground, as my body and mind tried pulling me away towards another force.

After about 5 minutes of this the feeling that I was about to go wolf came over me, and the alternating temperatures disappeared. Sweat was dripping down my back as I tried to keep myself together, the pulling force almost ripping my insides apart.

Suddenly everything stopped and my legs started taking me to this force that was pulling me. I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad though so I gripped onto anything that I could grab a hold of so I wouldn’t reach the force. As it got closer to me though, I could feel the pull getting stronger.

The only thought that could reach my mind was that I needed to get closer to this thing or person, and I could feel them trying to fight against it too. As we both fought against it I suddenly received a thought of a door. So the thing was going to go to the door. I immediately knew that I would fight to go in the opposite direction so we could get rid of the pull and that we would stay as far from each other as possible from now on.

I pushed a picture of the back door to the person or thing on the other side of the force and started to fight my way too it. I must have been an interesting sight because my legs were going in one direction while my body was pulling me into the other.

After what seemed like hours of fighting and trying, the pull suddenly broke off, my body returned to me, and a little voice inside of my head started telling me how stupid I was, not to give in. It ranted about love, hate, murder and something else that I didn’t catch and I actually thought about going back, but quickly decided that it was best for me to go home and try to figure out what had happened back in the store.
