“I love you,” I whispered back, and he kissed the tears that flowed down my face. Leaning back from his arms so I could look into his eyes, needing to make sure it was really him, I said, “Potter, is it really you?”
But before he’d had a chance to answer, Isidor climbed into the back of the car and as he did, he grinned, “Yeah, it’s him alright, except his name isn’t Potter anymore, it’s Gabriel.”
Letting go of me, Potter raced around the side of the car, but not quick enough to stop Isidor from slamming the door shut in his face.
“My name is Potter!” he shouted through the glass as Isidor grinned back at him. “It’s not Gabriel, that’s a freaking girl’s name!”
“That’s what those Elders named you when they brought you back,” Kayla reminded him as she winked at me and climbed onto the backseat next to her brother.
“I couldn’t give a rat’s arse what those old farts called me,” Potter barked and stuck a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. “My name’s Potter, okay?”
“Whatever makes you happy,” Isidor smirked from the backseat of the car.
“Can you believe this shit?” Potter moaned at me. “I’ve been raised from the freaking dead to spend the rest of eternity listening to that wise-arse!”
“Nothing changes you, does it?” I said, looking over the roof of the car at him.
“Listen, sweet-cheeks, it’s not me who needs to change,” he snapped. “It’s that dumb arse.” Then, he climbed in behind the steering wheel.
I got in next to him as he fired up the engine and sped out of the car park. Smiling to myself, I watched as he chewed on the cigarette that dangled from the corner of his mouth.
“And that’s another thing,” Isidor said from the back. “Do you have to smoke all the time?”
“What’s the problem?” Potter snapped at him. “It’s not as if it’s gonna kill ya! You’re dead already, you Muppet!”
“But it stinks…” Isidor continued.
Then shooting me a sideways glance, Potter said, “Do me a favour, sweet-cheeks and put the radio on - I’ve had enough of his whining already.”
I switched the radio on, and the car filled with the sound of Coldplay singing Charlie Brown.
Settling back into my seat, I made the most of this happy moment, all of us being back together again. Because somewhere inside of me, I got the feeling this happiness wouldn’t last for long.
