Things have gotten far too eventful here. Are we supposed to be constantly fearing for our lives now?
It was bad enough with just the magic.Private to selfI have so many bad feelings about this place.
I hate it because Adrian has backtracked so far, and maybe even gotten worse than he started. I hate it because of the magic, so many magic users around here and the place itself is magic. I hate it because of all of the death. I'm scared for my life and for Zoe's. And for Adrian's, though I'm afraid he will be his own destruction before anything else can get to him.
I'm finding that I really care about Adrian. I was interested in helping him get better back in Palm Springs, though I'm not entirely sure when I started to like him. It might have been the day in his apartment, or it might have been even earlier. I don't really have experience in these things. And now... I'm pretty sure we're dating. Not like the fake dating we were doing for Julian's benefit but the real thing. That scares me too, but in a different way.
He says he loves me. I'm not in love with him, but maybe I could be one day. If we're here long enough to get to that part. I'm not exactly crazy about the idea of staying here and when we go home we can't stay together. Are we just setting ourselves up for heartbreak later? I know he doesn't want me to think that way, but I can't help it.
The thing on my mind the most, however, is his suicidal tendencies. I want to help him so badly, but I don't know how. He started cutting himself and he says he's willing to stop, but the way he talks about it and the way he looked at the blood when I went to change the bandage yesterday... he's fascinated by it and he liked the pain it caused. It's going to be really hard to help him, if not impossible. I just have to do something. He can be so much more.
