Overwhelmed

2 updates in a week? OH GOD. I'm gonna be ridiculously busy this weekend, and all of next.

Ooops.

 

We're gonna have A LOT to discuss at the end of this chapter, so don't forget to leave feedback.

 

Thank you all for supporting my writing! I'm so glad y'all enjoy it. [:

Alone.

For once, it was a nice feeling.

There was no one to bug me on this long road. No one to bug me where I was going. No one knew where I was going, actually. Except for my dad, who I made swear that he wouldn’t tell anybody, not even Cassie or Mason where I was going. Although it worried him about my sudden want to get out for awhile, but I told him it was just to clear my mind a bit before finals were thrown back in my face. Being the understanding dad that he’s always been, he let me go without any other problems.

This was well deserved time for myself, especially after everything I’ve put myself through. I say ‘I’ because I feel like it’s me who needs to be taking the blame. If I wasn’t so persistent, this probably wouldn’t be happening. But then again, who knows? Maybe it’s a good thing I was persistent, because if I found out another way, I wouldn’t know how to handle it. In my opinion, I’d be in the hospital for the world’s worst anxiety attack.

The Bay wasn’t too far from Windsor Valley, but it was enough to get away from all the chaos back home. I figured going to the city for awhile would take my mind off things for just a little while. I knew it wouldn’t stop all of my problems for good, but just for them to seem so miniscule just for a day felt like it would do the trick.

Nobody would figure I would be in San Francisco either way. I wasn’t the type to just pick up & leave for awhile. I usually stayed within the vicinity.

This was the list that has been thrown on me in so little time. My grandparents, my aunt & my mom were witches, making my brother & I witches as well. My best friend’s family are also witches. Whether she knows about herself or not, she’s still one. And seeing as the weird feelings and visions she gets, she has her powers still. Henley & Amy are vampires. And then… there’s that confusing, beautiful jerk who goes by the name Zayn, who is, unfortunately, but surely, not only a vampire, but the biggest monster of all.

This was a list that I always had to remind myself of. If I ever made myself forget, it would be like I wasn’t living my life. I would be living a lie, putting myself in a life that didn’t exactly exist to me anymore. That normal life? It was long gone for me now, never to be seen again. Even if I wasn’t able to do the things Avalon was able to do, everything around me wasn’t normal anymore either.

Once I pulled up to my hotel, it wasn’t hard for me to get my stuff inside. All I brought with me was a small duffle bag, my laptop bag & purse. I walked in the hotel, up the front desk, my presence catching the attention of the front desk clerk who gave me a warm, welcoming smile.
