Chapter 67: Endings

He rubbed his hand together before placing them both on my temple. His hands began in a familiar golden glow. My memories began crashing in. The bench, the Angel's desire to remove Nyra, Crescent Moon Park.

I stumbled back, "How did you-?" I couldn't finish the question as a sharp ringing filled my mind.

"Sorry, it's a side effect." Gabe held onto me. Steadying me.

"Let's go." I pulled away from him and began walking.

"You want me to come?" He asked hopefully.

I let out a dramatic sigh, "I suppose." Before adding, "Plus, you are going to be my navigation. I don't know how I even got here."

"I'm glad you trust me to lead you." He said happily before walking next to me.

I stopped, "Just to be clear. I do not trust you." I glared at him.

He shrugged, "If you say so." Then continued walking. The nerve of this guy. I continued to follow him as we walked down the street.

I received several strange looks as I walked across the street. I didn't dare talk to Gabe in case they actually thought I was insane. We walked in complete silence. In truth, I knew where I was going. But I wanted to test Gabe, see if he would lead me in the right direction. So far, he has.

"Twyla?" Someone asked breaking me from my thought. I turned to find one of Adrian's most recent ex. Nicole.

"Nicole?" I asked just in case I got the name wrong.

She nodded, "How have you been?" She asked. She looked less bitchy and much nicer. I guess breaking up with Adrian changed her.

"Great." I smiled.

"So did Adrian talk to you?" She began playing with the tassels on her bag.

No he hadn't. Don't tell me he was dating her. I didn't want to rat him out, "That you two are dating?" I said.

She nodded, "He did. Phew. I know I was very snobby in the past." That's an understatement, "But being with him makes me feel like a better person."

I smiled, "That's great."

"We need to go." Gabe said. I glanced quickly over at him. The fact, she didn't acknowledge Gabe, made me doubt his existence once more.

"I have to go. But I'm really happy for you guys." I touched her arm for a moment before walking away.

"Thanks." She called after me.

"Honestly, I thought Adrian was going to confess he liked you or he was dating Jasmine." Gabe said.

"I thought Adrian and Jaz where dating." I shook my head, "Is it wrong that I believe they would make a good couple?" I asked.

"No, I see it too. We should hurry. We don't know how long a head start is." Gabe urged.

"You are right." I whispered and picked up the pace.

We walked until my legs felt numb. But even then, I knew I couldn't slow down. We only momentarily stopped when we came to the entrance of the park. As usual, the security guard was sleeping. I quietly crept by before taking off with speed. I couldn't get caught. I needed to get into the park, and I didn't have any money on me.

"You know, you shouldn't have done that." Gabe chastised.

I sighed, "I know. But how else would I get in?"

"I guess it's fine. How are your feet?" I looked down. I had forgotten that I was walking the entire time bare foot. But the strangest part was it didn't feel like that. Not to mention my feet where in perfect condition. I don't even want to question how that happened.
