They say that good things never last, and from my experience, that saying couldn't be more true. About a year ago, I lost someone very important to me. Max, my boyfriend of 3 years, was hit by a drunk driver. He was killed instantly, because of the head trauma.
It was like my whole reason for existing, didn't exist anymore. I haven't been the same ever since. I hardly talk, and I've made sure to stick to my daily routine, where I eat, sleep, go to work, come home and sleep some more.
I try to make my life as normal as I possibly can. However, there's a certain aspect of my life that's not so normal. The day after Max's accident I woke up and I found that I could do something that I'm pretty sure most people can't, something not normal.
I can move things. Without touching them. I'm sure everyone can do that, right?
Wrong.
It's kind of funny how I discovered my ability. It was the day after Max died. I was walking in the park he and I used to go to before the accident. Some children nearby were playing a game of disc golf and one of the frisbees came dangerously close to my head. I thought it was surely going to do a number on my face, so I closed my eyes and held my arms out and braced myself for contact, but none ever came. I opened my eyes and the frisbee was floating right in front of me. As soon as I lowered my arms the frisbee dropped to the ground like nothing happened.
I looked around and it appeared that no one saw what happened, so I rushed home. I was skeptical at first. I didn't think that what happened was real. It couldn't be real. To prove it I waved my arms at random objects and nothing moved. I thought I was satisfied with that but I couldn't let it go. What happened in the park wasn't natural. After trying and failing to move things again, I threw up my arms in frustration. When I did that I heard a loud crash. My flower pot across the room had fallen to the ground.
I knew then, that I couldn't ignore it any longer. After weeks of practicing, and honing my skills I was able to sort of master my ability. I figured out that all I have to do to control my power is to control my energy. Like if I want to move a certain object I focus my energy at that object. Now, all it takes is a twitch of my finger to move something.
At first I was afraid of it. I was afraid that my 'gift' would be more of a burden, but so far it's been pretty helpful. Lets just say nothing is too tall for me now.
Keeping it a secret is whats hard. Absolutely no one knows about it besides my brother, James. And the only reason James knows about it is because he caught me cooking and cleaning my living room. At the same time. He said it was the coolest thing he had ever seen and of course he agreed to keep my secret.
Since then, I've been more careful with how I use my power. I still use it more than I probably should, but I make sure that I'm the only one around when I do. I don't think anyone else would understand.
And as far as I know, there's no one else like me.
