something.
    “Anyway, how is she? They didn’t find anything wrong with her, did they? Are you still with her?” God, that girl could talk.
    “She’s fine. And yes, I’m still with her.” Aiden put his hand on my knee. I was still facing him, with my back against the door, so my knee was all he could reach without leaning over.
    “You okay?” he whispered to me. I knew he wasn’t asking me if I was okay for the same reason Chelsea was. He was asking me about the creepy feeling that kept growing inside of me. I shrugged. Truth be told, it was starting to scare me a little.
    “Hi, Chels,” I piped in. “And before you say anything, I am fine.” I knew that she would have asked me even though Aiden had just told her I was okay.
    “Good,” she said, letting out a sigh. Knowing her, she wouldn’t have really believed it until she heard it from me herself. “You must be like a saint or something, only instead of performing miracles on others, you’re using them all on yourself.” She laughed.
    I thought about what she had just said. Everyone must be thinking something was up with me. I mean, how many times can you come so close to death and live to see another day? I made a mental note to try to be more careful. I didn’t want to bring any more unnecessary attention to myself.
    “So, anyway, I have your things you left at school this morning. Do you want to meet up after school? Ben asked me to go to Baxter’s with him, but I can come over to your house instead.” She sounded hopeful.
    I didn’t want to intrude on what I thought was some sort of date Ben was planning. But even more so, I didn’t want her coming around my house just yet. There were too many things I knew she would ask, and I didn’t want to answer. So I opted to make it a double date. “We’ll meet you at Baxter’s.” Although I couldn’t see Chelsea, I could tell she had been hoping that I would save her from the whole date thing. “I’ve been stuck in the hospital almost all day, and I really feel like some fresh air.” I lied about the hospital part, not the needing fresh air.
    “Okay, then. So I’ll see you guys in an hour?”
    An hour! I looked at the clock, and sure enough it was just after two in the afternoon. Where the hell had the day gone? Oh, yeah, I had found out that I was Superwoman, that’s where.
    “We’ll be there,” Aiden said, covering for me because I was once again lost in my own thoughts.
    “Don’t be late,” Chelsea said before hanging up.
    I turned around in my seat so that I was facing the dashboard. The nauseous feeling had started to subside, but it was still creeping the crap out of me.
    “What was that about?” I asked Aiden, hoping that he would be able to explain what was going on.
    He shrugged his shoulders. “Haven’t a clue.” Aiden looked over and saw the disappointment on my face. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.”
    He laced his fingers with mine and the tension instantly drained from my body. “What did you just do to me?” I asked. I had completely forgotten to ask about what he and Anna could do by just touching me.
    “You mean this?” He squeezed my hand, sending an extra wave of calmness coursing through my body.
    My eyes widened in surprise. My whole body pulsated as waves of whatever the hell it was seemed to flow through my veins, sending me into a state of calmness I had never felt before. I finally managed to find my voice. “Yes, that.”
    He laughed and sent another wave pulsating through my body, making me gasp as I felt ‘it’ enter my body.
    “The easiest way to explain it is that we are able to manipulate your endorphins by way of touch,” Aiden explained. “I can also make you angry, too. Want to see?” A mischievous smile spread across his face.
    “No,” I said, pulling my hand away from his. If he could make me feel this good, I sure as hell didn’t want to know how angry he could make me feel.
    Aiden laughed. “Maybe later, hey?” he
