To Save A Life

I have always been able to sense when something's wrong. Like, when my mother broker her ankle three years back, my ankle started to tingle - the tell-tale sign that something happened. When my brother fell out of his treehouse, if you can even call it that, and busted his wrist, I sensed that also. Although my wrist or my ankle weren't actually break, I felt all of the pain that comes with it, and let me tell you, they hurt.

So when my boyfriend got shot in the chest and stabbed, I felt it. Every single stab, every single punch, and especially the gunshot. But, the thing is, I've only been able to sense things that happen to my family, so why did I feel it when my boyfriend got hurt?
