In The Dark1111

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it. I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

Chapter Nineteen: I'm Scared

While we ate dinner, conversation flew around the table. However, all I could think about was what Isaac's reply would have been to Darik.

I knew I probably should have been annoyed by what Darik had done. In a way, I understood his revolting test. I would have done the same, yet perhaps without the spit, if I were in his position.

In the end, did it really matter what Isaac's answer would have been? It shouldn't, but I couldn't help hoping he wanted more from me.

While Jeremiah had said Isaac didn't see me as a sister, that could just mean that he saw me as his friend, and that alone.

Goddamn, all this crap is confusing, and I swear my brain just farted from all the thoughts.

What I needed to do was be happy with what I had. I'd had no one for so long, and since had a heap of wonderful people who sat with me at my table, sharing a meal, joking and laughing together.

It was something I'd always wished for with my uncle and me.
