looked hurt.
“Sorry. But I don't like the idea of going to a party full of strangers that I don't know and I'm the
main focus point.”
“Well I think you'll enjoy it. Think of it more as an autumn ball. You might even make some new
friends. I've already spoken to Shelley she's in charge of catering and decorations. If there's any
specific food you want you can tell Shelley.”
It sounded like I didn't really have a choice about this party. It was going to happen whether I
wanted it to or not.
“How many will be there?”
“Probably between two to three hundred.” he said casually.
“What! How many relatives do you have?” I asked coming to a halt along the footpath.
He laughed and turned towards me. He reached up and brushed a piece of my wondering hair away
from my face.
“Relax everyone is going to love you. Just like I do.” he said looking at me carefully.
“I hate leaving you. It's hard to work when all I do is think about getting back to you.”
I wasn't sure what was happening but I didn't like where it was going. Luckily for me footsteps on
the gravelled driveway interrupted us.
“Sorry Cam, but we need you for a bit.” said Tallen.
Shasta and Roman stood a few feet away from him. Cam nodded and looked back at me.
“The party will give you something to look forward to, take your mind off things. Try not to get into
too much trouble while I'm gone.” he said kissing me on the cheek.
He turned and walked away into the shadows with the others. I stood on the same spot confused. I
thought Cam viewed me as an adopted sister but after the way he'd just said he loved me it made me
doubt how he saw me.
I hurried back inside and ran all the way to the top of the stairs. I knocked on Senka's bedroom door
but there was no answer. I walked through the games rooms, kitchen and gym but he wasn't around.
I asked a some of the guys but no one had seen him. I wondered back to my bedroom feeling a little
upset and lost not knowing what to do with myself. I sat at my dressing table spinning Senka's door
key round in circles.
Cam tonight made it seem like he might have feelings for me, I had a scary feeling he was in love
with me. But I didn't feel that way about Cam and now sitting here on my own I think it was
becoming clearer and clearer I had feelings for someone else. I missed Senka when he wasn't here. I
hadn't really realised how much I missed him until today. It wasn't the same way I missed Kenzie or
the way I didn't really miss Cam when he was gone. I really missed Senka.
But at the same time I thought of Senka, Mack's face came to mind. There was something there.
Who was he to me? I spun around on my dressing table stool and looked at the chest where I had
hidden Mack's T-shirt.
I could remember his name and everything we had talked about earlier. That had never happened
before. I normally woke up and only remembered what he looked like and the beach. Everything
else was always hazy. But it was the way I felt about him, it felt so real. It didn't feel like a silly
crush it felt like something more.
About three weeks after I'd woken up from my coma I started having a hard time getting to sleep at
night. So I stayed up late into the night which meant I was usually tired by late afternoon. I started
taking afternoon naps and then one day I dreamt of Mack, but I never remembered his name. I
started napping more and more hoping I would dream of the boy on the pebbled beach which is
where I always saw him.
But my sleep patterned changed and sometimes I didn't feel tired in the afternoons and depending
on what I was doing with Kenzie or Senka meant I missed many days with no naps and I hadn't
dreamt of Mack for at least two weeks. But up until today I thought they were only dreams. Now I
wasn't so sure and the rolled up T-shirt in my blanket chest suggested otherwise.
If it was real, it meant he was real but where was he? Was he dreaming as well? I sounded like a
crazy person. Maybe that was it I was going
