Chapter Eleven

Journal,

I knew I wasn’t making it up! I knew it! What is between Derek and I is absolutely real. Absolutely true. Breathe Gabby. You can’t write if you don’t breathe — all you can do is pass out. Derek came to see me.

Inhale. Exhale. That’s a good girl.

He makes me forget how to breathe!

I have a problem.

I can’t believe he came to see me. Yes I can. I mean, when I went for a walk last night on the beach, tracing the same path we’d taken together a couple weeks back, I didn’t expect to see him. But I wasn’t surprised when I did. I just turned, and there he was, watching me.

But not in a creepy stalker way. Watching me in a “hurry up and see me already” type of way. I walked over to him, slid my hand in his, and we just kept walking as if it were a normal thing for us to see each other. Our conversation picked up where we last left it — we’re both going through a little more pressure at home right now. I talked about my issues with my dad and brother, no specifics — I still don’t know why I’m so wary to tell him exactly who I am — but he gave me some great advice. Well, I guess we gave each other the great advice. He’s going through similar issues. His family doesn’t trust him, doesn’t think he’s ready for his future.

We’re going to prove them wrong, though. I’m not sure how he’s going to do that, but I’m going to knock Connor on his ass the next time he brings up practicing. I know I can. I’m stronger than he is, at least when we’re using our abilities. I can’t do that with my dad, but having Connor back off and back in my corner will mean a lot. It hurts that he doesn’t trust me.

When I told Derek that, he stopped and turned me to look at him. “Anyone that doesn’t see what you’re capable of is a fool, Gabby.”

I asked him, “Are you a fool?”

And he was all “I’m a lot of things, but never a fool.”

AND THEN HE KISSED ME.

Like, a lot.

Holy crap, I’m in love with him. I know I am. What’s more, I know he feels that way about me, too. He doesn’t need to say it. I can feel it.

I know it’s irrational and just plain crazy.

But I’m not exactly known for my rational and sane behavior, so it’s cool.
