ONE

All week, something had been eating my soul alive, like an invisible force was trying to rip me out of my flesh. My lungs were struggling with the one task they were made to do. My chest was on fire. If this was death, then why didn’t it take me without all the hassle?

Merigold? Majesty snapped me out of my puzzled thoughts. Whenever I looked at my sister, it was like I was looking into the mirror at myself. Her curly hair and chestnut eyes were a twin to my own features. The only difference between Majesty and me was that she was more on the lighter side, while I was a darker complexion, like Grams.

She had been trying her best to comfort me all week. The last time I’d gone off the rails was right before our childhood friend, Jerrius, went missing. I had a feeling in my gut that something bad was going to happen. I tried my hardest to push the feeling aside, but when Jerrius was found in the creek a day after our high school graduation, I knew to start listening to those gut-wrenching feelings.

Yeah, yeah. What’s that, Jesty? I said.

Maybe we should go back home to see Grams this weekend. She always knows how to fix you whenever you get like this, Majesty suggested.

Visiting Grams was the norm back when we were freshmen. I kept having episodes of crippling anxiety and panic attacks that made me feel like I was going to die, and Grams showed me ways to cope with it. She said it was the empath in me absorbing all the emotions and physical pain around me. It was what she’d tried to protect me from since I was a child, by enrolling me in home education with a teacher that came out five times per week.

Majesty was the normal one. She was able to go to school without feeling ill in crowds or from seeing new faces. Our powers were different, but Grams assured me that I would learn how to control mine. Fast forward three years later at the age of twenty-two, and I still had a hard time not absorbing energy around me. And no matter how hard I tried, I’d get sucked into dead-end relationships and friendships where I’d feel obligated to help them by seeing their past and healing them while draining my soul.

No, I was doing so good. She’s proud of me, Jesty. She’s finally happy that I’m feeling…was feeling better. I grabbed my jacket from the back of the chair.

The quicker I got away from Majesty, I’d be able to block her idea out and come up with my own logic for why it was a terrible idea to go visit Grams.

I can handle this alone.

Majesty looked like she wanted to protest, but she backed down and resumed slurping down the mocha latte that had been her addiction for the last two years.

Just think about it, okay? Majesty said across the room.

I walked out of Coffee Addicts and the sun nearly blinded me, the downside of being in a place with very dimmed lighting for an extended time. I placed my hands above my eyes as my chest was overtaken with pain. I dropped my purse to the concrete right before I went down with it, then these flashes of home
