Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 19: Deja Vu

Georgie looked at Jake worriedly, wondering if he was angry at her for looking into his memories. She didn't mean to, she didn't even know how she had done that.

"I'm sorry. I didn't - I don't know how I did that," Georgie mumbled.

Jake sighed and combed his fingers through his hair. "What's going on with you? How are you able to do these things? You get weird feelings when something bad is about to happen and now you can look into people's memories? That's not very human-like you know."

"But I am human. What else could I be?"

"A sorceress," Jake said, sounding like he didn't want to believe that. "What were your parents?"

"Humans," Georgie said quickly, dismissing the topic of her parents.

Jake studied Georgie for a moment, his light brown eyes narrowed at her. 

Georgie looked away from him, an uneasy feeling settling in the pit of her stomach at the thought of having to talk about them.

"Do you really think I'm a sorceress or witch?" Georgie asked, breaking the silence that settled between them.

"I don't want to believe it. Witches can be really dangerous and powerful. Vampires especially like hunting them down to try and get a hold of their power. I don't want you in that kind of danger, you've already been through enough."

Georgie looked down and sighed. When had her life gotten so confusing? Before, she never really questioned the strange things that happened until recently. Now that was all she could think about most of the time.

"Maybe Dianne knows something. She has raised you you're whole life, right?"

Georgie nodded her head. "Mostly, yeah."

Jake gave Georgie a confused look but she stood up from her bed. "Come on, let's go ask her."

Jake got up from the bed and they made their way into the living room where Dianne had just sat down on the couch to relax and watch TV.

"Hey Nana, we have a question," Georgie said as Jake sat in the armchair across from the couch and pulled her with him so she was sitting on his leg.

Dianne eyed them suspiciously. "You're not going to ask for my blessing already, are you?" 

Georgie's face turned a bright shade of red. "Nana!"

Jake laughed and shook his head. "No, ma'am. Not yet."

"Anyways," Georgie said quickly. "We - Jake mainly - was wondering if I'm human, like one hundred percent human."

"Sometimes I don't think you're human. It'd make more sense if you came from the planet Jupiter or something, the way you act sometimes," Dianne chuckled to herself.

Georgie gave Dianne an unimpressed look. "No seriously. Weird stuff keeps happening to me."

"Like what?"

"I get weird hunches that something bad is going to happen and it always does."

Jake wrapped his arms around Georgie's waist and pulled her into his chest. "And earlier, I was telling her something when she grabbed my hand, she went into a sort of a trance-"

"And I saw everything that happened to him, like what he was telling me about. It was like I saw his memory of that night."

Dianne was quiet for a moment as she had a thoughtful look on her face. 

"You know something, don't you?" Georgie asked.

"I do, actually. I didn't think I would ever need to tell you this," Dianne said with a sigh as she stood up from the couch. "Hold on, let me go get something and I'll explain everything."
