Narrator's Perspective 


AJ didn't know what everyone's reaction to her fainting would be. She knew that it wouldn't be that bad if she could just tell them everything. But she really couldn't.


"Sorry about that," AJ mumbles. "We should get going?"


"Yeah, what the hell was that?" Madison asks, crossing her arms.


AJ taps her nails of the floor. "I was just a little light headed."


"No way, that's a total fake excuse." Madison dismisses.


Shit. "Sometimes I have random blackouts."


"You're a bad liar."  Michael speaks up. 


AJ tosses a look in his direction. "Am not." 


"Yeah, you kind of are." Queenie responds.


AJ sighs. A half-lie wouldn't be the worst thing because the more she thinks about it, the more she realizes. If her sister can contact her, then the worst being to ever exist it back. 


"...I get visions. Sometimes at random." You admit softly. "This one was bad."


"What did you see?" Madison demands.


AJ looks up at her. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it won't affect any of you in any major way."


"Well What is it?" Queenie asks softly.


AJ hesitates. "I...There was this person who really hates me and is out to get me. Cordelia and I managed to lock them away so that they couldn't hurt anyone and...they're back."


"Who?" Madison asks. "If Cordelia got rid of them once, she can do it again."


"No..." I shake my head. "He said he'd get me, now he's back."


"You got away from him once..." Madison adds hopefully.


"You don't get away from someone like Lawson twice." AJ replies coldly.


The more she thinks about it the more final it seems. She stands up suddnely, she doesn't know these people. AJ shouldn't be showing this weakness to people she barely knows, she shouldn't show weakness.


AJ wipes at tears that never escaped from her eyes and then wipes her hands on her jeans. "I'm sorry, we should get going." 


Then AJ walks away like nothing happened. Maddie and Queenie exchanged a look.


"She looked terrified two seconds ago." Queenie tells Madison.


Madison nods. "Totally, but I know the type. She's used to being in control and not being scared. She'll get murdered by Lawson and say she's got it under control."
