Earning Trust

I lost balance and was about to fall. He caught me. 

–––

"What..just happened?" 

I heard myself ask. My heartbeat could almost be heard as my eyes fixed on the spot he was. 

"He's gone..?" I spoke softly as I brought myself to move closer. 

"He's really gone?" I asked again.

Ethan turned towards me. 

"You killed him," I said, "you killed him you b*astard!" I rushed to where he was hitting on his chest with both hands as hot tears poured out of my eyes. I wanted to tear him to threads. I badly wanted to use my powers right now but why won't it work? 

The "she" in me seemed withdrawn or was it fear?

Ethan held my hands and looked deeply into my eyes.

"The next time you put your hands on me like that, I will assume you are better off without them." He told me and then pushed my hands.

I just wanted to scream. There was this intense pain lingering inside of me, I felt like it would kill me.
