Getting Over You

This chapter has now been edited so it will hopefully flow better and I've added in punctuation.

********************************************************************************************************************

After that day of getting kidnapped I never saw Tom again.

It had been 4 years now.

I was always going to be in his debt because he saved me from those awful people that day and all I managed to do was say thank you. Ever since I first met Tom I haven't set my eyes on anyone else. I mean I've had plenty guys ask me out but I've always declined. I always had dreams about Tom as well. Dreams that he would come back to me and we could live happily ever after, like in all the fairy tales, but I guess that never really happens in real life does it?

"Hope, Hope" I was startled out of my daydream by my best friend Mary-Anne Martin shaking me.

"Sorry Mar, just away in my own little world here" Which was the truth. Mar knew from the brief descriptions that I'd given her that I was dreaming about Tom again.

"You really need to get over him Hope, you realise he's never going to come back you just need to move on and find a much better guy than him." Mar said desperately. She had been trying to hook me up with different guys for years now.

"There is no better guy than him Mar, I can't imagine myself with anyone other than him and you know what happened last time I went out with someone different.” I said to her with a monotone voice, she knows that this is a touchy subject and its best not to bring it up.

 Flashback

The last time that I tried to get over Tom was just over three years ago. The boy was absolutely lovely and was pretty hot as well may I add. He decided to take me out for a meal and I kept imagining that it was Tom's face there and when I came back into reality I took my anger out on the boy, shouting and screaming at him, mad that Tom had just left and by the end of the date the poor soul had spaghetti all over him and milk running down his face looking absolutely terrified. It's safe to say that the boy never talked to me again after that and I was absolutely mortified at what I had done. I haven’t ever gone on a date after that.

 Flashback Over

"Ok, ok I remember and I guess that didn't go as well as it could of-"

"Mar, that went terribly so don’t even try to lie to me." I interrupted knowing that she never wanted me to feel bad about myself.

"FINE!!" she huffed. "I know that date went horribly but it's been four years Hope, you can't keep expecting him to come back. I know that this hurts to hear this but since I'm your best friend I know that it’s important to face the facts and think about the fact that he's probably forgotten all about you and moved on with his life. You need to think about him too Hope." 

Ouch I have to say that did hurt.

But I guess Mar's right I have to consider that he's probably forgotten all about me and has a beautiful girlfriend and family wherever he lives.

Damn.

Why did he have to my knight in shining armour that day? If I was human I would’ve probably forgotten about him already, but I’m not and with my supernatural memory I can remember pretty much anything. 

That's one of my biggest secrets... my ‘supernatural powers’. I'm not quite sure what they are yet, but I know for a fact that they aren't normal. For instance I'm sure that not many people can wonder outside in the middle of winter in 5 inch deep snow with just shorts and sandals on. Can they?
