He pushed through the crowd. "There you are. Come on we are leaving." He said, grabbed my wrist and started dragging me away. I yanked my arm away completely infuriated. "What is your problem? I am enjoying myself. And what about Cindy?"
The glasses in the people around me's hands started shaking and exploding one by one. Now I was scared. I have never made more than one thing explode in less than a month nevermind a couple of seconds. My 'gift' was getting worse.
Brendan had said something, but I missed it.
I quickly fled from the room, with someone on my heals. As soon as I got outside I spun around and said,"Brendan would you stop following me."
"I don't know who Brendan is, but I knew I recognised you Emily."
"No, this can't be happening. How are you here. You left."
"I really am sorry. I've missed you."
My eyes started tearing up. "If you missed me so much, why didn't you come back? Why didn't you even say goodbye in the first place? You were my best friend and one day you just left without even telling me you were moving away. " I was yelling now. "You were all I had and you left me all alone. I trusted you Adam."
"I know Emily, I am so sorry, I didn't want to leave, but I had to. "
"Why Adam? Why did you have to leave? "
He opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"What the hell Adam, one moment we're dancing the next you just dissapear!"a pretty girl with purple hair was saying. "Emily, this is my girlfriend Judy."
My stomach contracted with jealousy and I felt a fresh wave of tears welling up in my eyes. "I'll see you again sometime Adam." I said walking away in the direction that Cindy and I had come from earlier.
Just like in all those classic romance movies I was walking down the street crying and it started to rain.
I stopped and took of the heals.
Cars speeded by drowning the sounds of my sobs.
One of the cars stopped next to me. A guy got out and put a blanket around me.
" Come on, we're going home." Brendan said as he picked me up and put me in his car. "You are a mess." "Always so nice." I said my voice dripping sarcasm.
He gave a deep chuckle. "How did you know where to find me?"
"Your friend,Adam was it, pointed me in the direction you went." I scoffed "He is not my friend."
"Wouldn't have guessed that by the way he ran after you when you left, the first time." Since when did he care about me? "Listen you don't know anything about me or my life so just keep your nose out of my business."

He basically ignored me the rest of the way home. When we got home he inspected me, obviously came to the conclusion that I was fine and continued ignoring me. What a wonderful first day in my new life.
