This chapter is really short, so I just decided to go ahead and post it! I keep getting stuck on the next one, so it might be a couple days.
Thanks for the reviews! :)

My tears stopped. I layed there numb. It seemed like hours, maybe even days that I layed there. I didn't want to think anymore. Thinking only made the pain come back. Thinking only made me remember..him. I had to stay in control. If I could keep my emotions in check, I could stabilize my powers. That was obvious to me now. Especially after Sam and his friend's shouting thoughts. Slowly, very slowly, I calmed myself down. Calm was good. If I was calm I could be at least halfway okay..
I sat up slowly. Every movement slow and intentional. I tried to pay attention to everything. I had a realization, I was able to notice more of my surroundings under this new calm. And something else..
I sensed something...something new...something..different.
It was people. People and their thoughts, but it wasn't. It wasn't so much as their thoughts, that was there too, but something more...
I was sensing people's minds. I was sensing who they were, what they felt, why they felt. Everything. I can't even explain the intensity of it...to know a person's mind... like it was your own.. To know every memory, every feeling they have ever had... It was incredible. This was more than just hearing thoughts, much, much more.
It was also very overwhelming at the moment. I had about 500 minds in my own. It suddenly felt very crowded. And as silly as this sounds, I'm claustrophobic.
I tried to focus on blocking them. I was relieved to discover it wasn't difficult at all. This new calm was the key to control, the key to get what I wanted. I was going to have to learn much more control over this however, I knew that much. Blocking was the easy part. But I would need to learn to subconsciously be aware of who was around me at all times. It would become somewhat of a sixth sense I suppose. This was going to take some time. But at the moment, time was on my side.
ooh yay! i love that last line! R&R please :)
