I throw a pillow across the room hitting my door to the outside. How, how could he do this? Then I hear a knock at the door.
“Go away!” I scream. Tears make my face hot with anger. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone right now. I’m still trying to cope with the idea of Ronnie and me leaving. The knock comes again. This time with a name. “Kimberley open up, it’s Jason.”
I hesitate for moment before wiping away some tears and walking to the door. I look through my peek hole in the door and see Jason standing there his hands in his pockets and head down. When I open he looks at me. We stand for a second before he hugs me. I don’t wait to hug him back. He rubs my back soothingly and I don’t try to hold my tears back from him.
After we soon let go he walks in and shuts the door. “Are you okay?” I don’t answer to the question he already knows the answer to. Instead I walk over to my couch and sit down. He doesn’t need an invitation to sit with me, he just knows.
“Why, why is he sending us away?” I ask Jason.
Jason looks straight and sighs. “He thinks you need more training-”
“More, training? How much more can he give me?” I hiss in anger. “Ugh, just when I thought we were actually making up about the whole detention thing, he makes me even more pissed.”
“Look I know you’re angry and scared-”
“Scared!? You think I’m scared? I’m not scared!” I say sternly.
“Kim, I thought you knew me better than this. You know you can’t hide anything from me.” He’s right, I can’t. He can pretty much read me like a book. We have grown that close. Blake is getting better at it and so am I with him.
I tilt my head away and start to sob again. “I’m not scared,” I mumble whipping my eyes, “I’m terrified.”
“I know. But why? You’re only moving across the street.”
“I’m scared because things will be very different. I won’t see you guys at night, I won’t be training with other apprentices and their mentors. It will just be that man, Ronnie and I. Won’t that be awkward?”
“Um . . .” I can tell he’s at a loss for words.
“Think of it as you and Blake, Jason. Just you and some other guy. Wouldn’t that be weird?”
“Well, not unless I get to know him.” He looks at me like I’m supposed to give him an answer, but what should I say. Luckily I don’t have to, because he keeps talking. “I mean, weren’t you afraid of Logan the first time you heard you were going to train with him?”
