a plaid over stuffed shrinks couch. I didn’t want to either.
“Oh… well with all the things going on with your health and all. I thought you might need to talk to her maybe, have a quick session?” She gave me disgustingly sweet smile, 100% fake, no doubt about it.
“Yeah health issues” I exaggerated the health part. “I’m recovering from physical stuff, my mind is fine. I’m not crazy or suicidal or anything remotely related to mentally disturbed. I do not need therapy, and I don’t need to talk to anybody ok!”
I could feel rage building in me, deep in the pit of my way to empty stomach. I felt like Sara was trying to push me into blowing up, she knew how sensitive I was when it came to talking about shrinks and stuff. I had spent the better half of last year surrounded by them, and medicated by them. I had no intensions of going back to that part of my old life. I had fought hard to get out of that whole mess, and refused to go back to that.
“I was just concerned you and William were having problems maybe, and needed a neutral ear to listen to you honey.”
The smile on her face as she crossed her arms made me want to throw up; she was prodding me. I could see it in her eyes, thanks to my new vampire senses. I could feel something in the air between us, that as a normal human I probably wouldn’t have been able to feel. I could feel her lying, and the hate she harbored for me, it was all their in her eyes, as she waited for me to yell at her.
“What are you talking about? Will and I are perfectly fine, we couldn’t be better actually.” I was really fuming now. I felt my heart beats getting faster.
“Well, I was just worried that’s all, my good friend Kelly Price, told me she saw William at the movies last night with some little red headed girl. I think it was a girl that goes to school with you two. Lacy Hanne’s daughter, Amy I believe her name is.”
I wanted to scream, she had totally crossed the line now. I couldn’t believe she had the nerve to stand right in front of me and lie about what Will had been doing. Will had been with me all evening, and slept on my couch all night. He hadn’t been feeling very good all day and went to bed early while I studied. He was not out with anyone.
“You need to get your facts straight Sara, I know where William was all day yesterday!” I snapped. “He sure as hell wasn’t with Amy, or anybody else for that matter!” Sara despite my raging reaction to her bald face lie about Will, only gave me a smile she seemed pleased with my reaction.
“Well Corrine, I just know William is a very good looking young man, and with you so ill and homebound. Well… I could see him getting bored. I would be careful if I were you, other girls might just have their eye on him with you stuck here at home. I’ve been around for a bit Corrine, I know how men are, and they get bored easily you have to be prepared. I’m only looking out for you, as your step mother.”
I wanted to scream, Will was so not like every other guy, as Gran had told me before I even met him when she saw him in her vision. Will was my soul mate, unwilling and pretty much unable to love another as he loves me. My friends were always amazed at how he ignored other girls who openly flirted with him, at school and just when we went out. He never even paid any attention he had eyes only for me.
I felt hot and dizzy suddenly, the room seemed to be spinning. I tried to take a deep breath, but felt an all too familiar pain creeping back into my chest. One word popped in my head as I stood there trying to look normal in front of Sara, (stress). I was to avoid it at all costs; it could send my body into shock or maybe even worse. I had let Sara upset me, and now I could do nothing to stop what I was feeling now.
Sara narrowed her eyes seeing something was wrong with me. I turned around and held on to the counter top, squeezing
