Chapter 7

That should’ve been the end of the story, and for a long time it seemed like it would be. Having escaped to the infinite, I could look objectively on all that had happened. All of those sensations he had put in my body had somehow tethered me to it. He made me care about him in a way that shouldn’t have been possible. I wasn’t just doing him a favor or giving him what he deserved for his self-sacrifice anymore, I had wanted to be near him to bask in the warmth of his affection.

I should’ve stopped caring and forgotten about him, but I couldn’t seem to do that either. As the days ticked by, I continued to watch him, and it ground away at me to see him from before and after but not to be able to be with him in the present.

And to be honest, I suspect he felt the same way. I don’t know how he rationalized my sudden disappearance. Maybe he chalked it up to being drunk, or maybe he started to get some inkling of what I really was, but either way he never forgot about me. In his spare time, he’d hole himself up in his room and write unsent letters addressed to “Dear Apoxy,” as though he somehow knew I’d be able to read them, as though I really was that girl he kept in his mind.

It turned out my mishap wasn’t the only change that took place that night. Cammie had taken my little demonstration to heart more than I could’ve never imagined. When Nathan brought me later, she couldn’t even be angry anymore.

“She’s baffling!” Cammie declared, which I have to admit I preferred much more than “psychotic.”

The idea I had given her started to grow in her mind, consuming her thoughts and keeping her up at night. Those five little words held a mystery she just had to wrap her head around.

“Have you ever wondered if you’re not the only you?” she asked Nathan one day while they were staring at piles of bills.

“Umm, no,” Nathan replied. “I have enough trouble keeping track of one me. I don’t need to worry about any more. Now come on. We need to figure this out.”

They had finally missed their first mortgage payment and were forced to fight with the electric people and the water people to keep their utilities on. Cammie started talking about giving up her summer study programs in favor of a summer job, but for right now she couldn’t stop thinking about this idea.

“I’m serious. What makes us think that the universe is so simplistic that it only manifests itself in one way? There could be countless worlds just like our own that are so close we could touch them!”

“Whoa, what is this about? You’ve been acting strange ever since…”

“I met Apoxy,” Cammie finished. “I know I should probably forget about her, but I can’t.”

“That makes two of us,” Nathan added.

“I’m going to try and do some research on this and put something together for the state science championships this summer.
