Pyro
Chapter 16

“Are you serious?” Jackson asked, staring at me.

“Yes,” I said. “I saw him kill me.”

“Then what happened?”

“I did what they didn’t think I’d be able to do, I found a nearby cop. I wasn’t out for long and he took me to the hospital, protected me, believed me when I said what was going to happen, and the only thing that changed was that it was my boyfriend instead of me that was killed.”

“One of these days we’re going to have to see if you can’t figure out what does trigger one of your visions. It might come in handy one day.”

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it: you’d be able to save your kids from getting hurt or your wife from dying. Things like that.”

“I read a book awhile back that made sense. You can’t change the future.”

“Then what good is the ability to see the future?”

“Got me.”

“Do you care how it works?”

“Only if it would help me to understand it better; I doubt anything will. The more you try to learn things, the more they tend not to make sense. At least in my opinion.”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“I can’t believe that you don’t want to know how it works.”

“Why would I want to know? It’s not going to help me. I don’t want to know what know. I just do.”

“I’ll never understand you.”

“I know that. I’ll never understand you.”

“Have you told them yet?”

“About what?”

“What you’ve told me.”

“Of course not.”

“It’s their lives, too.”

“Not yet. Not until its official.” There was a knock on the door. “Come in.”

“I can go.”

“No. You all need to meet at some point anyway.”

“Hey, oh, sorry. I didn’t know that you had someone else in here,” Kendra said. “What’s going on?”

“Yeah,” Jonathon replied. “What’s going on?”

“This is my friend, Jackson,” I said. “I’ve mentioned him.”

“Right, but why are you two in your bedroom?”

“We needed to talk. What’s up?”

“You can’t act like there’s nothing wrong here.”

I smiled. “Of course, I can, Jonathon. I’m not married. Not yet. Until there is a ring on this finger, you can’t tell me what to do. You also won’t be the one putting it on my finger. She will be. I have a right to have friends and I have the right to talk to those friends wherever and whenever I choose.”

“I don’t think…”

I started laughing. “Look I meant what I said, but I don’t have anything to hide you wouldn’t have seen him.”

“So what’s going on?”

“He’s my friend and he’s the person who helps with my future seeing sometimes.”

“What’s that mean?”

“It means that I’m the one she comes to when she needs to know what she should do. Like if she should go and help save the person she saw or how she should handle it,” Jackson said.

“I can’t believe this.”

“Believe what?”

“You’re fucking him.”

Jackson and I looked at each other and started laughing.

“Its not funny!”

“Why is that?” Kendra asked.

“Because we have slept together.”

“I knew it!”

“But that was years ago.” I looked at Jackson. “I suppose I will have to tell them.”

Jackson nodded and headed into the living room. “We should get comfortable. This is going to take awhile.”
