Chapter 9

Erica tried to understand what had just happened. One moment she was in Gareth’s arms, and the next he was walking away from her, saying he could never see her again. What happened? What did she do? Was he upset because they spoke about his mother? She knew it was traumatic for him, but why did that mean he had to leave? Maybe he was mad at her, but his last words were that he adored her. She had no idea what was going on.

She expected to cry, but she just sat there, full of sadness. She sat for a long time, but then knew she had to go home. She could easily magically transport there since she wasn’t far away, but she was in no hurry to see or speak to anyone. So she stood and slowly walked, her head bent and her misery consuming her.

As if the world agreed things were sad, the weather obeyed her mood by becoming cloudy and grey, a big contrast from the bright sunlight of a few moments ago. A cold wind whipped her hair around, and the first droplets of rain landed on her skin. Erica strode along, wishing she could reverse everything that had happened with Gareth. The rain became heavier, and then a strike of lightning pierced the sky. She looked around, wondering how they could have such weather in the middle of spring. She lifted her head to the sky and suddenly realized it was her—she was causing the change. Thunder and more lightning. The sadder she became, the more her magic leaked out and caused the weather to be altered.

Stop it. No one here deserves this. She finally couldn’t take it anymore, shut her eyes, and magically transported to her bedroom.

“Erica! You’re soaked!” Julia said, jumping up from the bed and grabbing a blanket. She wrapped it around Erica’s shoulders and led her to a chair.

Erica burst into tears. The weather ceased storming as she let out her sadness, coming out of her soul instead of through her magic. She cried loudly and clung to Julia’s hand. “He doesn’t want me,” Erica choked out between sobs. “He said he can never see me again. I don’t know what I did. I want him so much.”

Julia knelt before her and gave her a huge hug. Erica continued sobbing, part of her wishing she’d never met Gareth if he was just going to hurt her. The worst part was she would never know why—what caused him to leave. She had only known him such a short while, but she had fallen for him completely. Now she had to forget he existed.

“Tell me everything,” Julia said.

Erica waited for her tears to subside, then told her best friend the whole story. There wasn’t much to tell, but she recounted all that had happened.

Julia sat back on the floor and frowned. “It doesn’t sound like you did anything to cause this at all. It’s all about him. Erica, it’s alright. You’ll find someone else.
