| �And than you became part of that,� Howard said. �Okay, I think I got all this. So, now what do I do?� �Well, you will forever live, unless someone kills you,� Brian said. �That makes me feel good. And what about Kevin?� �The man you are �supposing seeing�?� Howard asked. �That would be him.� �He�s history. I can make him totally forget you and will just start dating someone else.� �But what if I don�t want that? What if that is the life I want to lead?� �Is it? You�ve never wanted that. You�ve always hated the outside world. You�ve always felt like you never belonged,� Howard roared. I gulped and looked around. The guys had left the room and I looked at Howard. �I didn�t mean it to sound like that. I just mean, I need to get used to this. It�s been a while for me. I�ve gotten used to the outside world.� �How can you get used to something you don�t even belong in? You know they will never cherish you the way we do. We�ve been a group since forever Theresa. We miss you. We are the only family you have and will ever have.� �I know Howard, I know. It�s�.I�m just not used to it. You have to give me some time, please, that�s all I ask?� �I understand love.� He sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. �Take all the time you need, we have forever.� I smiled up at him and he smiled back. I sighed and looked out the window. I leaned against him and just frowned. �What?� �Will you make Kevin happy?� �If you want him to be.� �I want him to be. When he was with me, I think he knew I was different, and I just want him happy.� �Sure, anything you want my love, you just have to ask.� �Thank you Howard.� I snuggled closer with him and sighed. �I�m happy here. I feel whole. But what about my job?� �I�ll promote Kevin up, and everything will be fine. Life will almost go on as if you didn�t exist.� �Wow. That easy?� �That was my dear.� I just nodded my head and heard the guys talking. �It�s safe to come in.� �Hey Theresa, are you staying?� Kevin asked. I looked up at him and just nodded my head. �Yeah, I am. I feel like myself here. With people who understand me.� �Than I�m glad to hear that,� Nickolas said. I smiled and looked around at the guys. I glanced outside as I heard a commotion. �What�s going on?� I asked. �I�m not sure. Whatever you do, just get down, and stay down,� Howard said. I just sat there, stunned. I felt a pair of hands lift my arms up and I heard the glass shatter. I felt something hit my back and go through my front. I blinked and looked at Howie. He stared at me and smiled. I breathed and shook my head. I fell to the floor and stared ahead. I saw my life just flash, the years I had lived, the wars I had seen, the friends I watched die. �I�ll see you soon my love.� �Of course.� He grabbed my hand and I held my chest. I felt the blood coming out and I rolled my eyes. �Nickolas?� �Yes?� �What happened?� �You were shot. Someone you knew meant to do this.� �Tell me who.� �Steven.� �Thank you. Send everyone my good-byes Nickolas. I�m sorry, I didn�t want this to happen.� �It�s not your fault.� �Than who?� �A group called TMCS� �What?� �Don�t worry.� �What time is it?� �Midnight.� �I�ll catch you soon. This feeling is not going away anytime soon.� �What feeling?� �This Midnight Craving.� |
