Chapter Eight : The Light Within
ANDERSON HOME
The next day, in Aiden's sunny bedroom, Aiden and I are laying in bed. He's shirtless, wearing his plaid pajama pants, underneath the dark green fluffy bedcover.
I'm asleep and Aiden gently brushes my hair bang with his fingers. I slowly wakes up and he small smiles at me.
"Hi, Shortcake." Aiden greeted me with a small smile.
"Hi, Aiden." I greeted back at me. "Were you watching me sleep?"
"Yeah." Aiden replied.
"Creepy." I said to him.
"Creepy?" Aiden said.
"Yeah, you watching me sleep is uneasy creepy." I said to him.
"You wanna know what's not creepy?" Aiden asked me.
"What?" I said.
"Being here with you." Aiden said to me.
Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other and we share a kiss.

TAVEN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
In the dimmed lit main room, Jayce, Joyce and I are sitting on the three seat sofa, playing a video game on the Xbox video game console.
The TV statics off, annoying The Griffin Twins.
"Really?" Jayce said.
"I got it." I said, getting up and walks up behind the TV and crouches down to the unconnected wires.
I reconnect the wires, and suddenly, I'm electric shocked, and thrown backwards and lands unconscious on the carpet floor.
"Oh my gosh." Joyce said, getting up to her feet.
"Angie?" Jayce said.
Both Jayce and Joyce gets up and walks up to me and kneels down beside me.

ARRINGTON GENERAL HOSPITAL
After regaining my conscious, I grunt softly and finds myself laying in a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown with a nostril tube in my hands.
I look at Aiden, Sharron, Jayce and Joyce. "Guys?"
"Hey, Maureen." Sharron said. "Are you okay?" She asked me, worriedly.
"Yeah, what happened?" I asked her.
"You were electrical shocked. And you were unconscious for a while." Aiden told me. "But other than that, we're just glad you're okay."
"Me too." I said.
Aiden gently holds my hand. He and I exchange small smiles at each other.
*~*~*
Afterwards, Mrs. Tasha Benton has discharged me, and right now, she's checking on me. Aiden remained with me.
"Okie dokie, Angie. You're good." Mrs. Tasha Benton said to me.
"Thanks, Tasha." I said to her.
"You're welcome." Tasha Benton said.
Tasha Benton and I exchange small smiles at each other. I look at Aiden and he almost about cry.
"Aiden, I'm okay." I reassured him.
"I know. But I just kept thinking if you didn't wake up or gonna be comatose or something." Aiden said.
"Aiden? I'm right here. Healthy and well." I said.
Aiden and I gently holds each other's hands.

LOUNGE CENTER
That afternoon, the Saunders Gang is relieved to know that I'm okay.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Shane asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said.
Yvonne looks at my hands, which are glowing. "Andy? Your hands?"
I look at both of my hands, which are glowing. "What the hell is this?"
"It's Photokinesis." Christine Avery said. Me and the Saunders Gang looks at her.
"Who are you?" I asked her, confused.
"I'm Christine Avery." Christine Avery introduced herself. "And I'm gonna help you harness your super ability of your Photokinesis."
Shortly afterwards...
Christine Avery and I are sitting on the carpet floor, cross legged position.
"Okay, Angie. I need to focus on your super ability, Photokinesis." Christine Avery said.
"Okay." I said, and closes my eyes, inhale and exhale.
I hold my right hand out as I focus on my Photokinesis. Suddenly, my hand glows and I create a energy orb of light in the palm of my hand.
"Oh, damn." Aiden said. "Angie, you're doing it."
I slowly opens my eyes and looks at my right hand, which has an energy orb of light in the palm of my hand. I become surprised.
Angie (VO) Am I really doing this?
"Oh my gosh. Am I doing this?" I asked, looking at the an energy orb of light in the palm of my hand.
"Yeah, it's coming from you, Angie." Christine Avery said. "All you need to do to practice and train yourself. You'll get use to it."
Christine Avery and I exchange small smiles at each other.

JEN'S DINER
That evening, Aiden and I are sitting in a booth table across from each other, with our paper food trays of French fries and orange crush soda pops.
"Christine said that she's train me with Photokinesis." I said to him.
"I still can't believe it. It's pretty cool." Aiden said, chewing on a French fry.
"Yeah, me too. It must've been when I reconnected the two TV wires. And it must've electrical shocked me." I said to him. "Thank you."
"For what?" Aiden said.
"For just being there for me." I said to him.
Aiden gently holds my hand on the booth table. "I'm always gonna be there for you, Andy."
Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other, and he plants a kiss on the back of my hand.

3RD POV
At Quinton Kiermont's loft apartment, Amy Tooney is looking out of the window, with her bottle of Ale.
Quinton slowly walks up behind her and gently wraps his arms around her waist. "How I have missed you."
"I've missed you as well, Quinton." Amy said to her husband. "There are things to do."
"Agreed." Quinton Kiermont said.
*~*~*
SAUNDERS HOME
Later on that night, Aiden and I had fallen asleep on my bed with my blanket covering us both. He's gently cuddling me from behind and I'm laying in front of him.
I tiredly wakes up and slowly sits up straight. I glance at a sleeping Aiden and slowly gets up from bed. I slowly walks away, but I catch a glimpse of myself in my wall mirror.
Angie (VO) My reflection is glowing. Like a dark pink outline of my body. I had to guess it's my Photokinesis emerging itself.
