“So tell me what the hang up is.” she said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You two get along great, you’re like the same age, basically,” “Give or take a century and a half.”
“You think she’s pretty, right? I mean I think she’s really pretty,
and I’m not even into girls.”
“She is. But I’m not sure... I mean I don't know, it’s just
different.”
“Brynne, I can tell you want her, you’re just scared. What are
you scared of?”
“Other than me being nearly immortal, and her maybe finding
out? Other than people like me are going around killing people, and I
can’t think of a single way to stop them. Other than those same people
nearly killing me, and me maybe putting everyone around me in
danger because those same psychos might come back? Sure, there’s
nothing to be afraid of. Oh yeah, and then Teresa kept coming back to
one other thing today that has worried me for a while: child welfare
people scooping me up. No, I have no worries at all.”
“Well obviously all of those. I just meant why are you scared to
admit you like her?” She pulled me in for a hug. “Honey, nobody here
will judge you for this. And if you’re worried about our friends at
school, you haven’t ever seemed to really care what any of them think
about anything anyway.”
“Because I don’t know. I don’t know what I feel!” I shouted. “Whoa, hey, it’s okay. Don’t get upset.”
“I’m not upset!” Okay, so I am. I took a deep breath. “I just
don't know if I should even think about... I mean what if I have to take
off?”
“Promise me you won't. Please, Brynne.”
“I... she's going home at the end of the summer.” “That's a long time away.”
“I don't want to put her in danger if those monsters ever come
looking for me again.”
“You can't worry about that for the rest of your life, Brynne.
You have to live.”
“I just... I need to think about it.”
Thursday, June 9 So I’m completely healed from being sliced and diced, I think. At least physically. Honestly, I still have dreams about it. Mostly I get scared that Jess walked in when she did. They could have killed me, and she startled them and they stopped attacking me, but they also could have killed her. I could deal with them killing me, but not her. I really don’t want to die, though. I’m so torn on how that whole thing happened. I wonder how long they would have tortured me before killing me?
Teresa and I have been off doing something every day, and I feel like we’ve become really good friends. I wish I could tell her my secret, but it’s dangerous for her.
“How was your date?” Barney asked. I just got home after seeing a movie with her.
“It wasn’t a date.”
Every night one of them asks me that, and every night I have to explain to them that Teresa and I are friends, that’s all. And Barney... shouldn’t he be out doing things with his college buddies? Oh yeah, he’s too much of a loser to go to college, so he doesn’t have any college buddies.
