Chapter Fourteen

Floating on Cloud Nine

I’m lying in Ezra’s bed, smiling happily to myself. Like I do a lot lately. Everything is shiny and new, and I feel like I’m looking through clear eyes for the first time in my life, and it is amazing what life is like when you are falling in love with someone. It’s as if nothing could get me down. I’m floating high above the clouds, and nobody can touch me. I feel so good with Ezra that I can’t imagine life before he was around. There is no before him in my mind. I haven’t had a nightmare in several weeks, and I am so happy I could burst at the seams. He is everything I could have ever hoped for. He makes me feel special, doting on me, cooking for us when we stay at his house or even picking me up from my shifts early in the morning.

I have barely been home to see Claudia, but I see her at work and she tells me how happy she is for me. It means a lot to me that she approves of Ezra. She has been my best friend for so long, always looking out for me, but now she can relax and have a little fun. She doesn’t have to worry about me anymore. I am safe and comfortable with Ezra, and she sees that. Claudia and I talk about everything, and I have told her how alive he has made me. She made me promise to make time for her these last few days, and I have, even going out to the mall when I would have been leery to do that in the past.

Life is finally looking up for me. I am alive. I feel things so much more than I did before. I am finally living my life with a purpose and not just to function. I wasn’t really living before I met Ezra. I was afraid of so much and so haunted by my past that I refused to see how wonderful everything really is. I was seeing things I didn’t know were there. I saw only the bad. I saw people who did terrible things. I couldn’t see the happiness in the world when I was so miserable, but now I’m moving on.

I have the best boyfriend ever. He has opened me up to new things and not just sex, but how to relax in a crowd of people. Since meeting him I have been more responsive to people and their touches—not strangers—but his family, who I have come to adore these last few weeks. I think it is a big step for me, especially considering I was out in the mall and someone bumped into me, grabbing me to keep from falling over. Normally I would have shrunk away or had a mini panic attack, but I didn’t freak out. I was getting better. I smiled at the strangers and moved on. Even Claudia was impressed with my progress.
