You can call it an epilogue

I spent two weeks in the hospital. Two weeks of extreme pain. I felt like my body was broken in so many parts but the doctors kept saying:

'There's nothing wrong with him. He just needs some pain killers and rest'.

My body hurt so much but I still felt like strangling that doctor. Gwen came to visit a lot. Taking pictures, reading her books (like I knew she's been secretly doing) and watching the news with me.

Dr Keller made sure everyone believed both Obsidian and Joe were gone for good. And they were. I no longer could turn things black. Gwen says I'm cool with or without it.

No one knows Joe was the idiot in a spandex and I was Obsidian. And no one will ever know even if their curiosity wants to eat them up.

The news has been all over it. Police have been trying their best. Dr Keller lied she still had no idea of their identities. Everyone thinks I was in the hospital because of what the idiot in spandex did to me. Technically, they're right.

The school was under serious reconstruction. It had a few walls to fix, glass windows to replace and the parking lot to get in order. So we have an early winter break. Yipee—not for me.

I mean, I really couldn't care.

Having Gwen around is the only thing that kept me sane. Lydia came around once, to say hi. And also to ask me if we could go out once I get better.

I politely told her I couldn't because I like someone else.

"Is it your friend, Gwen?" She asked.

"Yup."

"Oh. Well, good luck I guess. We can still be friends right."

"Sure."

Gwen was behaving like a jealous girl friend afterwards. I teased her about it and she wouldn't stop blushing. She's so beautiful.

When I was finally, discharged I asked Gwen to be my girl friend. She spat out her drink.

"What?!"

"I said, be my girl friend Gwen."

She blushed so hard. "Oh my gosh, yes!"

She wrapped her hands round me and I squeezed her closer. Then I kissed her. Best day ever, honestly. She drove me home while I was cracking horrible half jokes.

Days later, I'm in an underground parking lot. I just finished a very over due grocery shopping. I put everything in the back seat.

I send a text to Gwen telling her we have our first date tonight.

Dress casual

Alright!!!

I smile at the text before putting the phone in my pocket. I enter the driver's seat of my Jeep when I hear my phone ringing.

It's Ivan.

"Hey man. We have practice tomorrow. Early." He says.

"Why?" I say while trying to reverse out of the parking lot.

"Because, we're having a race soon. Our school's hosting again."

I frown and let out a sigh. "Sure. Whatever. I'll be there— Crap!" I wince as I realise I just let the side of my Jeep hit a pillar.

"What?" Ivan asks actually sounding worried.

"You distracted me and now I have rammed into a pillar." I drive a bit forward and re park the car.

I hear Ivan laugh. "I always knew you were a bad driver."

"Piss off!" I end the call and go check my car. I groan at the sight.

It has horrible white scratch marks on the passenger side. I bend and touch it feeling a slight dent. I've never let this happen before. I'm a careful driver.

I rub my fingers over it and imagine my shock when the white marks just change back to colour black like the rest of my black Hummer Jeep. No way!

I stand, rub my eyes with my fists and look again. Still black.

I don't know whether to be happy I've removed the scratch or a bit pissed Dr Keller never actually removed my 'powers'.

I knew that bottle was too freaking small. To make matters worse, she's all the way in Baltimore. I run my fingers through my hair and enter my driver's seat and carefully leave this time without any scratches.

When I get home I immediately text Gwen.

Obsidian never really left.
