“Do you think maybe she knows something and just never says anything in case we don’t know?” Kiran suggest. He sounds excited about her possibly already knowing about supernaturals.
“It would certainly make things easier if she did. It’s good we are getting it all out on the table,” Nic responds.
And that’s that, tomorrow we tell Aly about our powers and see what happens.
We all leave the kitchen, heading out to different areas of the house. Kiran follows me into my room and makes himself comfortable on the bed.
“Do you really think it’ll all be okay?” He asks. He sounds so nervous and unsure. It’s hard seeing my overconfident brother look so anxious.
Usually he’s the one making me feel better but this time I know I can help him.
“Think about her man, you know she’s going to handle this amazing. She’s so open and accepting, she’ll probably be excited about it all.”
He looks mildly better so I continue, “she really cares about us. She shows it in everything she does. She introduced us to Anna and you know how much that meant to her. She helps you with math, she unconsciously tries to give us equal attention and she was afraid to have feelings for any of us because she was afraid of what that would do to our friendship.”
And I’m right. Just saying it out loud to make Kiran feel better washes away any lingering doubt I may have had.
Tomorrow is going to be great and the beginning of forever for all of us.
Twenty Nine
Aly
The guys invited me over like they do every Saturday. I’ve officially blocked it on my calendar as time spent with them.
It’s a nice day for a walk and I’m enjoying making my way over to the guys house.
When I get there they all seem nervous. Usually someone gets me from the door and we settle in the living room for whatever we’re doing that day. Sometimes it’s games, movies or sometimes if it’s a busy week for school we do homework. That’s only happened once or twice though.
So I’m surprised when all five guys are there waiting for me when Nic opens the door.
“Hey Aly, come on in,” Nic beckons me in.
Again, normally they all hug me or something but today each guy except Jeremy holds me for a longer hug. It feels like they’re squeezing me tighter too.
Shocking me the most, Jeremy gives me a little side hug then practically runs to his spot in the living room.
“What’s going on guys, you’re acting weird?” I ask.
Confirming how weird they’re acting, they all freeze and look guilty at that. What could they be this worried about? I thought things were going well between us? We were finally starting a relationship.
Oh god, is that the problem? Did they change their minds? They don’t want to share me anymore. Are they making me choose? Or are they all ending things?
It feels more like they’re worried about my reaction which makes me think they’re going to make me choose. But I really can’t, how will I make them see that?
They must see the panic on my face because they all switch their faces to a reassuring smile. Even Jeremy, which makes me feel worse.
“Aly, you look like someone died. It’s okay, just come in and relax,” Jay says.
He pats to the open spot on the couch next to him. When I take a seat there I’m even more suspicious because ever since Big House and meeting Anna, they’re almost always pulling me into one of their laps.
“Maybe we put some TV on and relax a little?” Kiran suggests.
But there’s no way I can sit through a TV show and not know what they clearly need to talk to me about.
“Guys, I can tell something is up. Can you just spit it out?” I ask.
They all turn to Nic who turns and faces me. He’s making intense eye contact.
