CHAPTER 4

Brielle

This was such a bad idea.

"Think of another plan! This is possibly your worst by far."

The plan I had come up with was to casually walk past Jasper, accidentally bumping into as I went. I would then hopefully have caught his attention and then coolly say "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there!" (which of course I really had) "Jasper? Is that right? I think we informally met this morning?" After that I would just hope he remembered me and tried engaging in conversation which would make it easy for me to eventually ask him about this morning.

Yeah this would never work.

There he was. Target was in place.

I stepped out from behind my locker where I had been hiding and headed in a somewhat straight line for him, looking around aimlessly around for something that would catch my attention, hopefully making me look like I wasn't just about to walk into him on purpose.

Before I knew what was going on, I found Jasper also heading straight for me, eyes on me the whole time. Suddenly not so confident, my pace faltered.

My heart started to beat insanely faster with ever step that brought me closer to him, and then there we were, standing in front of each other between the thinning crowd of students in the school hallway.

"Hello Brielle."

How he managed to say that so, well, dreamy was not a question I could answer.

"Oh hi, Jasper." I managed to stutter.

Oh quiet, my beating heart! There was something about this boy that made me go speechless, which I might add, is not often. Wow oh wow! My plans to stay away from him and not make a fool of myself by falling for him, vanished into thin air. I could feel a connection between us. He seemed different. As if now that the previous crowds of students had gone, he could finally be himself.

Jasper

I had to try it. I had to try telepathy. I could tell from here, the aura seeping from her, she was a savant. That was my gift. I could sense the energy rocketing from her telling me she was a strong savant, but a tingling in the back of my mind told me she didn't know it.

She was wearing an oversized, navy blue knitted jumper that tucked into her slim fitting black jeans at the front. Standing in front of me like a tiny fairy, short blonde hair that reached her shoulders framing her face, bright, deep blue eyes, petite figure, I had to be careful not to reach out and rub my thumb over her rosy cheeks. I wasn't sure what it was about this girl but she made me act all out of character, or at least making the disobedient, difficult character I was obtaining, slip away.

"Sorry..." I said quietly. She looked confused, a small frown on her lips.

"For this morning." She sighed and gave a small nod.

I couldn't do it anymore, the emotions that were flooding between us was starting to make my heart beat louder than a base drum. It was too much. I closed my eyes and...

"Hello?"

Brielle

His voice in my head. It was the most pure thing I had ever experienced. Everything made sense now. All the questions faded away. I felt like I was soaring through the sky.

Fireworks went off behind my eyes as he leaned down over me and placed a soft kiss on my lips. Never had I felt so wonderful before. I now knew that everything I ever lived for, was standing right in front of me. Jasper. My soulfinder. My heart felt full. This...this was the love I'd been waiting...hoping for.

"Hi..." I whispered into his head shyly.

I'd never used telepathy before. Didn't know I could do it, but I did know that if this is what it felt like, I would never stop using it.

We stood there for a long while just holding each other, taking in the fact that we'd found each other, a discovery with chances so small, but we did it, we'd found each other.

"You're a new savant aren't you..?" He smiled down at me when he said it, warming my heart even more.

"I only really found out a couple of days ago, but I guess I felt like deep down I always knew."

"So..are we going to tell anyone yet?" I knew that eventually we'd have to tell our parents...my parents.. oh this was not going to end well.

Everything from the past few days streamed back into my head. I was adopted. My parents had lied to me, they never told me who I was or who my parents had been, if they were still alive, and I didn't know if I could ever forgive them for that.

Dark alleyway. I could hear her screaming. My mummy. She loved me, right? I tried to wriggle free of the arms that were holding me, whimpering when they just gripped me tighter. "Please, I beg you! Don't hurt my daughter! Please!" She sounded desperate. "Mummy!" I cried out to her but the evil lady put her hand over my mouth. "Shh shhh. You're save now" she whispered in my ear, but I wasn't. I wanted my mummy. I didn't like this evil lady, she scared me. "Brielle!" I heard my mummy screaming my name over and over again until, 'bang', it stopped suddenly. I couldn't feel her presence anymore. No...no my mummy..I wanted my mummy!

Jasper

"Brielle! What happened just then?!"

As soon as it started happening I could tell she was getting glimpses of her past. The memories surging out of her distant state of mind. I could tell she was panicking. There were things she didn't know about that were missing from her memory of the past.

I pulled her head to my chest and massaged her lower back with one hand and smoothed out the tangles in her hair with the other.

"Sh..It's alright..I'm here for you okay?"

I lead her to a bench just outside the dining hall. All the other students having left already, I knew that we wouldn't be interrupted. I tugged her onto my lap. Tears rolled down her cheeks. How could this moment go from tho happiest time of my life to my soulfinder crying? I wanted so bad to just kiss away the pain, but I knew that in this situation, it would do nothing.

"I'm adopted." She whispered, her whole body trembling. "I think my parents were killed..."

I let her cry on my shoulder for what felt like an eternity while tracing circles on her back soothingly. After a 10 minutes she reluctantly sat up and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her jumper. I caught her hands in mine and put my forehead to hers, hoping some of my calmness would find it's way to her through our newly discovered link.

"I think..." she whispered, almost too quiet for me to hear. "I think the people I'm living with.. the people I thought were my parents, killed my mum."
