Chapter 13

A/N I'm typing this on my phone so if there's major errors sorry! Autocorrect likes to punk me a lot!

I woke up to my phone alarm buzzing next to my head. It's finally Sunday. Today's the day I learn about Zeke's powers. Today is going to be better than the last. I gathered my outfit choosing a yellow sundress, and I headed to the shower. For a girl who didn't get to shower every morning I'd surely taken to the habit. The shower is one of my favorite places to think. It was like the falling water surrounding me cleared my thought process. I need to find my father. He's still a threat to Megan, and my family. The only solutions for him are jail, or death. It's morbid to say, but I prefer the latter. Maybe one of the students here is a psychic. It's worth a try. My ringtone went off alerting me someone's calling. I tried reaching from the shower to the sink where my phone was. Right as I hit the answer button, I slipped and skidded down into the tub. I bite back a curse, as pain radiated down the left side of my abdomen. I decided to just lay there until the pain subsided, the water was starting to pool around me. Simultaneous as someone slammed my door open, I screamed. I heard Zeke's voice. "Adena? Are you okay?"

"Zeke!" I shrieked. "What the hell are you doing? You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"You nearly gave ME a heart attack when you didn't answer. All I heard was a yelp, and then a thud. I thought you were being attacked!"

"I just fell. I completely forgot about the phone. My side is throbbing."

I saw Zeke's hand start to pull the curtain back. "Don't even think about it. You can look at my side one I get dressed Mr.Emt."

"But I nee-"

"Uh uh, Out! I'll get dressed first! Wait for me in the living room." I said cutting him off. I know the guy was pre med, but that definitely doesn't give him an excuse to see me naked. My naked body is hideous. Only the clothes I wear hides my past.

The door clicked close, and I finished showering. Finally done I gently dried off and got dressed. I definitely need some a pain reliever... I decide to let my hair go wild today. My copper curls fell around my shoulders like a blanket. Time to face Zeke.

Walking into my living room, I saw Zeke was sleeping again on my couch. You'd think he only slept when on my couch or something. He was snoring with his mouth wide open. It was so obnoxious, yet cute at the same time. Zeke can make anything look good!

"Zeke, wake up." I said shakimg him gently.

He sat up quickly rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He looked at me abashed, and said "Sorry. Your couch is so comfy, and I didn't get much sleep last night."

"Well you're welcome to crash here anytime. We can't have you falling asleep in class now can we?" I teased him.

"I bet your bed is even more com-"

"Not gonna happen you flirt! My offer is the couch only."

"Whatever you say babe!" He said with a smirk.

"Stop that. Anyway... do you want some breakfast, or maybe a cup of tea? My stomach is about to eat my backbone."

I didn't wait for his reply, and ventured into the kitchen. I put the tea kettle on for tea, and scrambled us some eggs. Zeke popped some bread in the toaster. I offered him lady grey or chai tea. He scoffed at my lady grey, and went with the chai. Apparently Lady Grey isn't manly enough. Humph! We sat down at my small dining room table, and ate our eggs in. silence. Once we were finished, and the kitchen was cleaned we retired to the sofa.

"So... You wanted to tell me about your ability?"

"Um... Yeah. I do."

"Why does this feel so awkward? I feel like you're about to drop a bomb on me."
