It was really late at night when they returned in a cab. Catherine helped the weak Tessa down from the cab but when she offered to carry her in, Tessa refused.

“You sure you don’t want me to?”

“Uh-huh, I’m fine.” Tessa gingerly went for the door and into the house; Catherine was on her heels.

They both stopped to look at Frank who was sitting on the rug, looking like his whole life was over.

“Tessa? Why don’t you go up and get ready for bed, I’ll be there to tuck you in.”

“Urh... okay.” Tessa was hesitant, but she pushed herself towards the stairs.

“Can you manage by yourself?” Catherine called after her.

“Yes.” She waited until she heard Tessa’s room door shut, before she gave her attention to Frank.

“We got you dinner.” She said calmly to him. “Come with me.” When he didn’t move, she actually gra

    “...ess so.” I was staring back at Tessa. I was back in the hospital and everyone was around me but I wanted to go back to Tessa’s past, I needed to know more about Renee.‘Claire?’ Antonio called in my head.‘How long was I gone?’ I asked, telepathically.‘How long? You just took her hand.’‘It felt like months.’ He chuckled in my head.‘Trust me, if it takes that long to read a person, no one would want to do it.’“Are you okay?” I looked back into Tessa’s eyes, so glad I got to meet her. Now I’m one step closer to catching my mother’s killer.‘I think I found out who murdered my mother...’ I said to Antonio.‘I know, did you forget you’re an open book now? Hold her hand with the both of yours and finish that vision.’ I mentally nodded and placed my other hand on Tessa’s.The v

    ClaireI gave the vision my absolute focus as I didn’t want to miss even the tiniest detail.Tessa was with another girl her age - they looked about eight, making me guess it’s this same year I got out of coma- and they mostly just sat and talked, other than that, they each had a book they read.On a not-so-distant part of the park, James was sitting quietly next to Reggie who kept trying to get him to play. I understood the expression on his face, I’ve seen it a lot of times to understand it whenever; he was in his private world and from the dark circles under his eyes, I could guess he’s been there for a while.I knew what was going to happen next, Tessa would see James and recognize him, it just had to be that.Tessa’s friend suddenly stood up, closing her book and snatching Tessa’s book too.“I don’t want to be a huge nerd, no one comes to the park to read.” The girl said to Tessa, wh

    “Because I had to kidnap your brother.”"Kidnap?! Why?!" Catherine didn't reply until they were inside the basement and down the stairs. The place was fixed up with camping gear to look more inhabitable; there were tents, sleeping bags, snacks and the very blanket from my vision where James sat with Tessa and Catherine."What happened to the basement?""I fixed it up for you guys." Catherine said in reply to Tessa's question. She made them sit side by side before sitting as well, across from them.She looked at one, then the other... They looked nothing alike to me, Tessa must look like her mother and James... Well, now that I think about it, he looks more like Frank."You said you wanted to be with James, didn't you?" She said directly to Tessa who nodded slowly."There was no other way to bring James here except to kidnap him. I want you two to be together, at least before..." She cut herself off, looking away.

    Once again, I was looking back at Tessa and I was back in the hospital."Claire! James!" I straightened at Abigail's voice. Dad and Abigail just came into the hospital's hallway then, both worried."Abigail!" James squealed, running into Abigail's waiting arms."I texted them our location." Jacey said from next to me."Are you alright? Were you hurt?" Dad was asking James, before he turned to me."Who kidnapped him? Where did you find him?""It's all a misunderstanding." Antonio answered for me, getting a surprised look from Dad and Abigail."A misunderstanding?" They asked in unison."Yes, I'll explain..." The doctor, coming out of Catherine's room cut me off. He searched all our faces before stopping on Dad's."Are you the family of the patient?""Wh...?""Yes! Is she okay?" I said louder, interrupting Dad before he could ruin my plan."I... I have to speak to someone about her condition." Th

    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'

    Matt So, things can get a lot confusing. What I do want to understand is why my kid can't have a normal life filled with a lot of happiness and stability. Alright, so after Claire and Antonio just up and left us at the beach, we tried to run after them since it seemed serious but they left in a flash and they took the jet. Abigail and I had to wait or call them, but since they weren't picking up, waiting it was! The jet finally came back for us and as soon as we got to Raleigh, I received a text message from Jacey, asking us to come to the hospital. You know how it is, I had a billion emotions and not one made sense. Is Claire hurt? What about James? Why the hospital? Why so early in the morning? What the actual hell happened?! All my questions would be answered at the hospital, so I had to keep myself calm and take myself and my beautiful fiancée to the hospital.

    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 decided to let it go for the mean time. After all, Frank deserved to be in jail for being abusive... Yet, Mom's dead anyway and I'm the only other person he was abusive to, if I forgive him, what's the point of him being in jail? Does Dad know Frank's James birth father? What do I do? "Tessa has been so gloomy, she's barely eating and always crying... It affects James too." Abigail said sadly. "Well, she's his sister and even if he had just met Catherine, she's still his family. Catherine was..." I stopped when I noticed the shocked expression on their faces. They didn't know? How have they been together for two weeks and they don't know? "Tessa is James's sister?" Dad asked. "Yes, she's Frank's daughter from his first wife. Catherine was his cousin and she raised Tessa." "James knows about this? You... you know?" Dad sounded so hurt that I couldn't figure out why and his thoughts were jumbled up, making it hard for me to read them.

    I was standing in the parking lot, away from the couple I was staring at. Jason... He was holding a brunette's hand... and that hand had a diamond ring on its ring finger.He was freaking engaged?!My heart pounded deeply in my chest. I was too late? But... he was my soulmate, right? Wrong. Probably the same time I stopped believing in soulmates was the same time he seized being mine.He was smiling so fondly at the brunette and I couldn't see her face but I knew she had a big smile as well. "You have no right to be sad... You have no right to be sad..." I kept muttering to myself, over and over again as I worked up the courage to leave there."I don't believe it! It's Claire Wagner!" I stilled when I heard a lady shriek. Other students stopped to stare at me and a few began making their way towards me.I diverted my eyes back to Jason, he and his brunette were staring at me, he looked confused.I turned around and bolted for my car, driving out of the campus.

    "Hey single lady, come home." I kept staring at my phone. What the actual hell? That jerk has been ignoring me for the past two years and just a few minutes after my boyfriend broke up with me, he sends a text?!I was furious and sad and relieved... God! I just wanted to hug my cousin so badly!Judy's call came in before I could reply to Antonio's text; she had been my personal assistant since I moved to Paris. Emma couldn't come with me because she wanted to be a full time Mom to Shelby and she did say she was getting married in a month to a guy she met.I didn't try getting close to Judy though, she just wasn't as free with me like Emma used to be, she just wanted our relationship to be professional and I didn't mind at all.Of course she wouldn't be calling if she knew I was on a date with Archie, but I didn't tell her and she probably thinks I've disappeared.I picked up."Hey, Judy.""Hello.

    "There's my girl!" Archie cheered, hugging me and kissing me firmly on my lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the award show but I'm proud of you nevertheless." I moved aside to let him into my apartment and he went straight for the glass plaque I had left earlier on the breakfast table."It looks great. Breakout Star, Claire Wagner." Yup! That's me. The newest eighteen year old who has been working her ass off for the past two years, juggling three careers as a model, actress and my all time favourite, a photographer.It hasn't been easy and I can't stress how many times my parents have told me to take a break and come home just to relax, but I've been stubborn like always. Working keeps my mind away from depressing stuff like worrying about Jason who I haven't seen in the last two years and he doesn't even have a social media account, I mean, who doesn't have a social media account?And even Antonio! That dumb jerk gave a stupid excuse and avoided attending my parents wedding, he'

    "Will you be my maid of honour?" I was staring back at Mom, waiting for her to say she's just kidding but she was really waiting for my answer."Me?!" I was surprised. "Are you sure? What about Alice?" I said, gesturing to the other woman who sat next to me on the lounge."I'm married and even if I'm not, you should be her maid of honour." Alice replied before Mom could."Yes, Claire, I want you to be my maid of honour. I can't think of anyone better than you." I was flattered, but of course I wouldn't be if I had seen it before now, but my wacky abilities have deserted me for a while now; even after an entire week after I woke up, I still can't tell the future."Yes!" I said excitedly and Mom hugged me immediately, sighing in relief."Thank you. You know what? This calls for a celebration. How about all three of us hang out together? Like a girls' day out. We could go to the spa, get makeovers, manis-pedis, new hairdos...""Okay that sounds like a mother-daughter outing and I already

    "Are you insane?!" Antonio half-yelled at me. I pretended not to hear him as I ate my birthday cake. After Archie was done with his call, he told everyone we were dating and though my parents weren't so thrilled about it, everyone was cool with it."You can't go from being in love with Jason to being Archie's girlfriend.""I can and that's what I'm doing." I said nonchalantly."Claire, you can't do that.""Why? Archie likes me to bits and I think he's totally lovable, hence, we're dating. And don't forget we already told our parents and they are okay with it.""Your Dad wasn't okay with it, he knows you should be with Jason, he's just being nice.""Which I expect you to be too. Archie is a great guy and Jason is far from my reach anyway. To be honest, I don't think I would have any feelings for Jason if not for that soul mate bullshit.""Bullshit?! Is this why you shut me out? Because you're harbouring crazy thoughts like this?" Antonio was pissed, I knew that but I wasn't going to le

    "That went well." I stilled when I heard Antonio's voice behind me. What was he doing in my room? "Did you forget I can tell the immediate future? I knew the surprise would be ruined and you'd lock yourself up here." Oh, well.I sank to the floor and just hugged my legs. "You're sad, I get it. But look on the bright side...""There's not bright side here, Antonio. I love him yet I told him to get lost. Who does that?!" I hugged my legs tighter. Antonio came over and sat next to me."I don't know what to tell you, all I see is you spending the next two years missing Jason while you figure your life out." Two years?!"It's going to take that long?""You can't see your future?""I can't see anything, my abilities are messy right now. I can only tell the present and read someone's mind.""I see. That's probably because you haven't healed completely from the accident." I sighed."That's not important to me. I'm going to spend a full two years without Jason? Will we ever get back together?

    "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,

    "Claire?!" I turned away from Jason to Aunt Miriam.Uncle Mark's family was all the distraction I needed to get my mind off Jason... and his lips. Well, at least for the meantime.Kevin was an adorable kid, he looked every bit like Aunt Miriam and Jane tried acting a bit mature to impress me, but she was still the cute little girl I know. Of course they were glad to have me, especially Tyler, it wasn't even as if I've been in a coma for years, they acted like I've only been gone for a week.Uncle Mark was happy Renee got what she deserved but he didn't know about my abilities, none of them did and I wondered why Dad didn't say anything. There are family after all."You ready to go? Mom's expecting us now." Jason whispered to me. I was playing dress-up with Jane and Aunt Miriam."Yeah." I apologized to Jane and Aunt Miriam, I had to promise to return before they let me go and I was back in the car with Jason."So, you said your Mom lives with her dogs, right?""Yeah.""Did she explain

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
