Cory's pov
It's been a year. Since then. Whoever this 'Brooke' was, she was pretty dang important. Like, really important. Shelby became distance. I'm going to see her. I open the portal, and see she's just sitting. I sit next to her.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey Cory." She said.

"It's been a year." I said.

"Yeah..." She said.

"Do you feel guilty?" I asked.

"Yeah..." She said.

"Don't." I said.

"I can't help it." She said.

I wanted to make her feel better. I kissed her. And she kissed me back. We kissed for a while, until I pulled back. And she pulled me back. We did this for a hour or so, until she pulled back.

"Thanks." She said.

"Anything for you." I said.

"Do we always have to be like this?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Do we have to hold this burden? Of having these powers?" She asked.

"Don't think of it like that." I said.

She pulled me in for another kiss.
