Suffocate Me

Gone.

I swear, everything I had worked for, everything that him and I had gone through was gone. Nothing was left. That’s what I felt like. Nothing. I’m just a big baby that had gotten attached, even magic couldn’t help me. No one could love an ugly spirit like a banshee!

I sighed. I wanted to mope for a bit; it would help me feel better later.

Was Olivia special? What made Andy gravitate to her so quickly? Andy had always been good with people, but not that good….

My hands tightened on the steering wheel and I felt my face scrunch up again. Oh, how I hated my real face, but I knew it was showing. My unnatural, stretched mouth couldn’t be helped, but I had dyed my white hair a brown and managed the frizz. Tanning took care of my pale skin. I was human on the outside.

The inside was a bloody mess of guts, broken emotions and a banshee spirit. I snatched my phone from my purse and dialed Holly as quickly as I could.

Surely she could come up with something from my situation! This was ridiculous! Andy couldn’t possibly fall in love with someone else, more-so than me, in a few minutes! I knew he still loved me, he had to after the magic I put on him. The whole thing was unnatural.

Unnatural.

The word whirled around in my brain for a moment. I pressed the phone to my ear and heard Holly’s low voice coming through the speaker.

“Hellooooo?” Holly whined.

“Hey,” I said, not hiding the croakiness of my voice.

“Uh-oh,” I could practically hear Holly smirking,”who put Jules in a ghoul mode today?”

Unnatural, the supernatural.

My mind was running a mile a minute. Suddenly Andy made a little more sense and his actions added up. Humans don’t have the sense for it, but sensing is no problem for a lot of other creatures. I mean, I would think he would tell me if he was anything other than human, but who am I to talk? I had hidden mine. Then again, what held him back from telling me? Was he something so terrible that he couldn’t even tell me?

“Hey, Holly?”

This is a long-shot, I thought.

“Wha?”

“I need you to do something big for me. I need you to do a mind read.” I said.

But it will get me answers that I deserve.

Notes

Ooooohhh, this is not the end for mama Jules! She will be taking care of herself!
