RECAP

We were only about ten minutes away from my home. The street lights looked so tiny to my blurred vision as we drove past them. Everything seemed to look opaque. To tell you the truth, I didn't really care whether I would forget her or not.

I only hope that she's okay, wherever she is.

Whatever she's doing.

Just let her be okay.

Chapter Ten

                   Emotion is a feeling that is private and subjective.

Emotions are what we call action urges. An important function of emotions is to prompt behaviors. The action itself, the fighting, or running, or hugging is not part of the emotion, but the urge to do the action, the feeling that prompts you to do the action, is considered part of the feeling.

                What triggers it or gets it going? Prompting events can be events happening in the present for example losing a loved one. A prompting event might also be a memory, a thought, or even another feeling. In managing our emotions, it is important to be able to recognize prompting events.

                It's been two weeks since I have seen Tommy and the most shocking part of it all is I missed him more than I will like to admit.

I wanted to see him

See his laugh

His eyes

His lips

His face

His body

Just him

Even though I have only known him for a short period of time, being with him makes me feel protected in his big warm arms. Even after such a short time I have gotten feeling for him. Feelings I didn't even have for Chase when our relationship was going well.

I sighed closing my eyes trying to focus on what was in front of me. I was currently having my algebra test and I couldn't focus, my mind was blank, and I bet my face was a big give-away.

I sighed scratching my head trying to remember anything that I studied the previous night. However the only thing that came out was flashes of Tommy. I clenched my fist grinding my teeth together trying clear my mind. However that didn't work out successfully.

I growled in frustration me can't taking it anymore. I stormed to my teacher gave her my paper and marched out the classroom, heading towards my locker. Squinting my eyes shut, I leaned up against my trying to take steady breathes. Slowly cleaning my hands I felt a little better seeing that I was no longer trapped in the classroom that I felt claustrophobic in.

I was about to open my eyes when suddenly I heard footsteps coming my way. Hoping for the worst I kept my eyes closed pretending I didn't hear the sound of someone coming in my direction. I got tensed, my heart started to race and it felt like I was going to suffocate if I kept up not breathing.

As the footsteps came closer and closer my heart rate accelerated with every step the impostor took.

                Then all of a sudden there was nothing. No footsteps. No nothing. Only the breathing of the person breathe blowing onto my face.

                I froze in my spot, not daring to open my eyes.

"Open your eyes Aida" the person whispered in my ear sounding out of breathe. I gasped snapping my eyes open only to come face to face with the surprisingly green eyes of Tommy. Oh how much I wanted to see those eyes of his.
