We made it back into the apartment before sj laid me down on the couch.

Still shaking up about how things went at the diner sj came back handing me some water.

" drink now" he demanded.

Doing as told, I gulp down the water as I could feel myself cooling off and everything coming back to normal.

" what was that I...I saw" I was cut off before he placed a finger on my lips.

" I know.  you saw that i was sick" he said.

And he was right.

" h—how is that even possible I can't have abilities can I?"

I had more questions then ever and it was scaring me.

He took a seat on my coffee table before taking my hands into his.

" your abilities aren't activated just yet, but the fact that your experiencing them means that someone you care about that's dying is causing you to— "

" activate my gift or curse or whatever the hell I got" I interrupted him.

" exactly but I'll be okay" he a sure me but I know something wasn't sitting right.

Sighing out loud I laid back with my arms folded trying to wrap this whole situation to make it make sense.....

And nothing was making any sense.

" okay so I can touch people and it'll show me if their dying or how they'll die?"

Sj nodded his head.

" but with that you also have the gift to heal the people including myself that's dying with the light have you sent that yet?"

Going back for the bathroom at the diner where my hands were changing into a vibrant color I knew what he was talking about.

" y—yes but it still doesn't make any sense how do i have this?"

Sj started coughing as I could see more of those marks appearing on his body, and some peak out on his neck where the collar  of his shirt sat.

Everything was happening too fast and I wanted it to stop.

I didn't want any parts of this curse that was happening to me.

" sj those burn marks their affecting your cells, and the more they grow the more you'll get weaker and eventually" tears rolled down my cheek.

I couldn't think of not having him In my life especially when he knows more about this then I do.

I needed him.

" Storm listen I'll be fine it's just a set back"

As he stood up he's legs collapsed, and he hit his head on the arm of chair before hitting the floor.

" hey, HEY NO NO" I quickly drop to my knees before shaking him crazy hoping he'll wake up.

" what am I suppose to do, I gotta call the cops"

Searching for my phone i ran to the bedroom before dumping my purse out until my phone slip out along with all the other things.

Unlocking my phone was becoming a challenge and the more I press my phone wasn't trying to work.

As if it knew I needed to be the one to  save his life.

" damn hold on sj I'm coming"

Running back into the living room I push pebbles out the way as she was licking his face and barking.

"I can't focus, what do I do" trying to keep from having a panic attack I tried to calm myself.

Before I knew it sj started to go into a seizure as he body was out of control.

Foam began spilling out his mouth and I froze.

" I can do this I need you sj, I love you" I said hoping he'll hear me.

As I got my breathing under control I allowed my hands to relax as they rested on his chest.

Closing my eyes I just thought about the positive things and getting him back to me.

As my eyes open I notice my hands and body was a yellowish color the same color I seen in the bathroom.

It's like my body was pure light.

I didn't feel pain or anything just me absorbing the toxic electric juice that was eating at his cells.

Like some sort of  taser eating at his body.

Lifting my hands up I watch as his eyes pop open and he sat up gasping for air.

Once he came to, he smile at me before laying my back.

" I was right." He started to laugh with joy " I was right"

Coming back to myself I couldn't believe it I Actually saved someone.

" what just happened" I said with excitement.

" Storm you just saved me and I owe you my life"

" in fact did I hear you say that you loved me"

Still trying to come off the excitement me he lean over to kiss me but I stop him.

" oh hell no not after you was foaming out the mouth I'll pass" we laugh before he went to the bathroom to get clean up.

******

I was home alone waiting for sj to come  back from the store.

all I could think about was me saving his life.

Me out all people not even the hospital couldn't save his life but I did.

Suddenly it was knocked at the door which surprise me.

" coming" I called out while unlocking my door.

With no one there I seen an envelope sitting pretty on my rug.

" weird"

Grabbing the letter I closed the door behind me before taking a seat at the kitchen table.

Once open my eyes grew.

I heard the front door open as sj quickly rush to my side.

He took noticed of a wine bottle half empty with a letter in front of me.

" who's that from?"

Looking at him i was lost for words as I was still shock.

" my father"
