It was gradually getting bright outside and it was cold too. I was panicking a bit but I didn't want it to show so I don't get questioned by Antonio. I know he told me to trust him, but I just have a really bad feeling that something extra huge would happen and not the good type. Would Antonio get badly hurt? Will Frank help us catch Renee? He should, I mean, won't he want his freedom from a psycho? What if she escapes? "Claire, did you forget I can hear your thoughts?" Shoot! I forgot that. "Shh, I'm trying to..." He paused for a second and I knew for a fact that he just had a vision. But why didn't I get one too? "Claire..." He began with a deep serious voice. "Can you do me a favour?" His eyes were focused on the road but I could tell how hard they were in the dim light. "What favour?" "Well, since you missed my birthday a few months ago, how about you do this as a late birthday present." A scary smile was playing on his lips. "You'

Claire (For the rest of the book)   I was floating; I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, just floating. Where am I? Who... who am I? Would I be able to see again? Would I be able to... I saw a light, it was small but it was all I needed. I was staring at a ceiling, feeling so lost, I couldn't move. Then it came flooding... all my memories, everything. I could remember my childhood with my parents, the joy I felt when I heard my mom was pregnant after I was an only child for ten years, the sadness and loneliness I felt when my Dad left, then having to deal with Frank's abuse, mom dying and Dad coming back... Everything after that, including how I disliked Abigail, meeting my Aunt and Cousin, encountering Frank in the old house where he could have harmed me if Nicholas wasn't there. There were bits that didn't add up, but then I could remember how I discovered my psychic abilities when I read my mom's dairy and got transported to the past, I al

I was still thinking about this when Abigail knocked lightly on my door and came in. "Hi!" "What's wrong?" She had a kind of nervous look. "Nothing really, I just wanted to make sure you're okay." I laughed at her. "You guys worry a lot, why won't..." I stopped when I felt a pain in my head like before. I guess this is the down side of being a psychic, I get to deal with frequent headaches. "Are you alright?" Abigail was on the bed next to me in an instant. "Yeah, just a little headache." "Don't stress yourself, rest more. Come on, under the covers." I grinned like a little kid and obeyed her, getting under the covers. "Yes, Mom. Will you read me a bedtime story?" "Don't tease me." She said, laughing. "Get under the covers too. You want to make sure I'm okay, right?" Just saying those words made my head ache again. What's wrong? "Are you sure you're okay?" Abigail asked as she studied me, in-betw

It's my birthday? I pulled away to check my phone, it was really the second day of April. I'm sixteen!I crushed Antonio in another tighter hug, excited."I'm sixteen!""You sound like you've waited a long time for that, even after you skipped two whole years." I ignored Antonio's teasing and got off the floor."I'm happy because I finally remember Jason and now that I'm sixteen, my Dad won't mind me dating some..." A knock on the door interrupted me."Uhm, Claire? Can we talk?" It was Jason. I made for the door but Antonio blocked my path. Great! They still had a beef."It's not about that, trust me." Antonio said in a whisper. "You've regained your memories, I have no reason to stay mad at him, it wasn't even his fault to begin with. I'm stopping you because you can't tell Jason you remember him. Pretend you don't remember him, I have a reason." That's crazy! I just hurt his feelings out there and two weeks ago, I was about to tell him how I feel about him, why do I have to stop now

"Claire?! Wait!" I didn't listen to Jason, I kept walking until I got to the car. He caught up to me."What happened? Are you okay?""I want to go home. Can you take me home?" I avoided his eyes."Yes, but what really happened? Did my mom say something...?""Just forget it. Like I said, I'm tired." He exhaled and unlocked the car. We both got in.I didn't say anything while he took me home, I could very well feel his eyes on me, but I kept my eyes away from him all the time."Look, I'm sorry about my Mom, I'm definitely sure she said something to you. She can be a little uppity sometimes but..." Oh, he got that one right."Don't apologize, she didn't do anything wrong.""Oh, okay." We were quiet for a few minutes more. I knew what Antonio expected me to do, break it up with Jason; and the easiest way to do that is when he thinks I don't remember him. I didn't want to, I really didn't want to but Jason has a lot planned out for himself and I'm just a roller coaster of drama and danger,
