Chapter 12: Too much information

"I can't take this anymore," I roared, throwing all my pillows.

"Take what?" Jessica spoke, reaching over to pick them up. I sat down angrily, going over the last few thoughts I had in my head.

"Jessica, you need to give me some answers...," I started, finally giving in.

I couldn't take this stupidity on my end anymore, something was going on and I needed to be informed. How many times was Jesse going to try and control me before anyone finally took notice to help me? Were they just ok with the fact that he was toying with my emotions and my heart in a devious way? Did they even care?

"I know," She frowned, closing her eyes, "First just tell me what you remember."

I shook my head, "No! Tell me what  is going on, now! I saw you today, actually I say you AND Ryan today...how could you? How could you do that to me? I'm your best friend and you leave something as important as you knowing Ryan out of our friendship?"

I could tell she was caught of gaurd, the color in her cheeks dispersed as my mouth continued to run and immediately she clasped her hands.

"Look," She breathed, her eyes darting all over, "It's such a long story. I don't even know where to start...,"

"Start with how the hell you knew Ryan and didn't tell me," I blurted, not holding back.

Right now I was hurt and I was acting off of that anger, I couldn't be nice about this anymore. Everyone was trying to save me like I was this little child, a kid who couldn't hold her own. When had I ever shown them that I was such?

"I don't really know Ryan," She corrected, "I was kind of just forced to be aligned with him."

I layed back, going through my head about what was the most important.

"All for your safety of course, and mine, but Ryan is just trying to protect you. I know it's probably the worst timing because you two have a past and you're kind of mad at him for certain things, but it really is the least of your worries."

"...why in the hell is everyone after me? Bentler and now Jesse apparently? Do I have something? Is there something they want?" I interrogated.

"Yes, well...no not necessarily. It's who you are, is what they want. You're something special, Mandie, and I think they all can sense it," She finished.

I looked at her, blinking like a deer caught in headlights, before finally belching out a big manly laugh.

"You're shitting me. Is this a joke? Are you really about to tell me I'm that sorry girl in the movies who is special and dies because she's so stupid about it?" I rambled, "This is ridiculous! I'm just a normal girl! I don't move things with my mind, I don't cause pain mentally and I can't even bake bagel bites correctly!"

"Yes but, Jesse and Ryan can. They're both different, much much different...but Mandie, there is a whole nother world out there that you don't know about. It would take me ages to tell you everything, but what I can say is that Jesse and Ryan aren't human anymore...they're supernatural - and as crazy as this sounds, Ryan and I think they're after you because you can make people stronger."

Great, just great. Another thing to make this semester at college even harder. I was having a tough time wrapping my brain around what was going on right now, did this mean that I was like that too?

"There is no way, I'm just the same as I have always been. Nothing has changed, except for the fact that Ryan is deciding to talk to me again and Jesse is well, being Jesse. "

I began to think about what had happened tonight, was that all a dream or was it real? Jesse was starting to act odd, a bit too weird for my personal tastes. I had an attraction to the guy, yes, but who didn't? It wasn't something I would chase after or cry about, but what about him always made me so, well...hot?
