Scornful Sadie

Juniper and Mark offered to drive me back, to save me from more awkward embarrassment with Aiden.
“It’s understandable,” Juniper said, attempting to reassure me once more I didn’t make a fool of myself.
“I asked him if he remembered.”
“He called you Sade, a name he came up with for you. I would have thought the same thing,” she said.
Burying my head in my hands, I couldn’t believe Scott invited him to Grandma’s. No way could I stay there with him in the house. I would have to go to my parents’ for the night.
“We’re here,” Mark said. He turned, smiling at me. “Sadie, I don’t get all this girl stuff, but I do know Aiden cared for you. You gotta give it time. We’ll fix what Harlow messed up.”
Everyone kept saying that, but no one knew for sure he would get his memory back. Their words were simply for my comfort.
On unsteady limbs, I climbed from the car and we headed inside. The door was still ajar, so I pushed and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the scene in front of me.
Aiden stood with his arm around the waist of a tiny, petite, blonde girl whose laugh was way too loud and fake. She was cute if you liked that sort of girl. Juniper’s eyes grew large as she looked back at me and I felt the power rush through my body.
Immense amounts of anger cause uncontrollable power surges in some sorcerers, and I was about to have one. Scott noticed, racing toward me and pushing me back out the door. He whisked me out of sight and directed me toward the woods behind the house.
Screaming, I threw my hands up and allowed the magic to flow. The energy connected with the ground, flames dancing in waves as they rose and fell with my anger. I let it all out. The amount of power coursing through me was astronomical and I was surprised I wasn’t losing momentum.
“Sadie,” Scott called from about ten feet behind me. “Are you finished?”
Lowering my arms, I turned. I nodded once and stalked past him, back to the house. The sound of water drifted around me as he put out the damage I caused. His feet hitting the ground behind me seconds later told me was running after me, but I didn’t care.
There was only one thing on my mind, and that was getting Aiden back.
