I'm in panic, I know I did that, I can feel it.
- I'm going home, I-I'm tired. goodbye.
Once i get up I rush away from Andrew, but he immediately starts running after me.
- Emily, what's going on?
- Nothing, i just want to go home. Now leave me alone.
- Emily, i know what i saw.
- Your mental.
What the hell just happened?? Why can I suddenly make water float??
i have to get away from Andrew as quick as possible. I have to figure out whats wrong with me, if Andrew saw it too, then that means that i'm not daydreaming or hallucinating (that is if i didn't hallucinate him saying that he saw it too, i guess that is a possibility). Then this means that for some reason i have powers.
Maybe i'm some kind of chosen one, maybe ill be going to a wizards school, like Hogwarts but for floating water. What a dream come true.
Or maybe this is all a dream and i'm not even really here with Andrew and none of this ever happened. I abruptly stop and look at Andrew who's right behind me.
- Andrew, can you pinch me?
- What? why?
- Because if it hurts that means i'm not dreaming.
Andrew nods and pinch's me in the arm.
- AUCH. yeah, that definitely hurt.
- What if i'm the one that's dreaming?
- Give me your arm.
I pinched him and he quickly put his arm away.
- I'm not dreaming either. so that means you just made water float!
- No i didn't!
I start walking again, going back home completely ignoring Andrew shouting in the back.
When i finally arrive Andrew is still behind me but at least his given up on asking questions.
- Look, i'm going inside now, go home and please stop following me around. also, if you tell anyone about tonight your a dead men.
- Are you sure you want to be alone right now?
- Yes.
I get inside my house and try to close the door, but his fast to block the door and comes in anyway.
- Please Emily, I want to help you, and i'm also really curious about all this.
I feel a bit dizzy so I go get a cup of water and sit on the sofa.
- will you please just talk to me...
Andrew asks, sitting next to me.
I wonder if i should talk to him, I definitely need to talk to someone right now, and he already knows so it wouldn't be such a bad idea. Andrew and me have always fought and annoyed each other every chance we got, but over the years we've also told each other things like the fact that he thinks Madison is really annoying (witch is really obvious but he doesn't think so) and his never been one to brake one's trust.
- Ok...
- Have you always been able to do things like that?
- No.
- Did you throw water at my pants?
- Not intentionally... I mean, now that i think about it it might have been me.
- You really need to get over Conner. And you shouldn't take your love life frustrations on my pants.
- I am more then over him!! And what do you care? I've told you it wasn't on purpose, it just happened I guess, I didn't even think it was me up until some seconds ago!
The water on my cup starts shaking again and Andrew notices
- why is Conner such a trigger for you?
- It's none of your business!!!
The water in the cup starts getting out of control, suddenly, it shoots up in the air and straight to Andrew's face with such velocity that i can barely see it.
- aw shit, that really hurt. But it worked see? It only happens when you get angry.
- Get out! now! I don't know what I can do with this.
- Calm down...
- How am I suppose to calm down?! this time it was water, who knows, next time I might throw a knife at you! I'm not sure i can only control water! Do you have a death wish? get out!
I get up and drag him out of the apartment, and without giving him time to say another word i close the door on his face
I'm starting to go crazy, i need a distraction. I go to my room and start disorganizing and reorganizing everything over again.
What am i going to do now?
-------------------------------------------------------
I toss and turn on the bed, I definitely feel less stressed after organizing and reorganizing the whole house two times, but sill nothing makes sense.
As much as I'd like to, I've decided i'm not going back to the beach, not until I've figured out how this... thing works.
My parents haven't come back home yet,
I try to close my eyes shut, but soon enough i give up on sleeping.
I lazily get out of bed to go drink some tea and see if that helps. As i'm about to walk to the kitchen I notice something on my bedside table, something that is definitely out of place.
I look at the bedside table and notice a piece of paper that definitely wasn't there before. The paper is folded in half and it looks kind of ancient. I open it and inside, in a cursive style obviously written in ink are the words:
i know what happened yesterday. be careful, they're already looking for you.
