Chapter 15: Analyzing and Studying

"You told your parents?!"

I had my head in my hands as I sighed. After telling my parents the truth and what had happened, things were odd now. With the truth that my parents had an inkling that I had some supernatural ability, it was only a matter of time before things would become crazy.

After getting injured and being called on, I had to be truthful. Hiding was only going to make things more difficult and would boil over.

This also meant I had to tell the guys.

Currently, we were all studying together at the library. Classes were about to end with summer break looming over and we had exams beforehand. This also meant our classes were basically free-periods since there was nothing more to teach and it was just reviewing.

After given a rundown of what the exams might entail and the procedures, we were left with our devices and worksheets to help review for the exams. Immediately, we made plans to get together and I needed all the help I could get in Science and Math from the guys. I would be also studying with Stella, who was in the same classes as I am but...I saw her few and in between.

When I saw her again in Science class with Azalea, I was on edge. I didn't know what was going to happen and despite encountering Jessica and Amanda, they were in little of my classes.

I had expected Stella to act cold towards me, hint something from that day, and possibly attack me right on the spot but...nothing happened.

My gut instinct, who I've learned to pay more attention as of late, nothing had happened. There was no impending doom, no ominous warnings, nothing.

It was almost normal.

If it weren't the fact that I was attacked by Stella yesterday, I would've never known that Stella was a suspect.

My memories made me nervous. I couldn't trust myself a 100% that it was true, and I almost thought it may have been a figment of imagination.

It might've been.

If it weren't for the throbbing pain from my back and chest. There was also bruises but those were easy to hide with my clothes. No one would question that I was wearing long sleeved clothing in this weather, despite being warm. I preferred the warmth then the cold.

As well as studying for school, I had been making notes of what has been happening. Flashbacks were coming to me and they seemed like they were from my childhood. Had I always known or were they suppressed from my amnesia?

Whatever the answer was, I tried to write down every flashback that I could remember. I wrote them on these cue-cards and I and tried to decipher them; from arranging them around in their possible chronological order and why I may have forgotten them.

I had almost spent all of last night dedicated to solving this issue. The only reason I was still alive and awake was because I got caught by my brothers. They simply lifted me out of my chair and carried me to my room and (un-)ceremonially dropped me onto my bed.

I passed out soon after my head touched the pillow and woke up restful.

Everything was a blur and I was on my toes for the entire time. I was prepared for something to happen and I was ready to launch. That seemed all for naught and now my nerves were back again, as I was gathered around Alex, Hunter, and Jayden.

Hunter had his chin on his hand and was not meeting Jayden's nor Alex's eyes. He would glanced to me but quickly averted them. His face seemed troubled and I realized something. What had happened between him and his grandfather? Did he and Garrick get into some fight-
