Chapter 1
I stood in the parking lot, watching
the cars fade away into the night. I decided to go back to my house, cause I
know everyone will be there. I walked slowly from the parking lot. I looked up
at the sky as I walked down the street.
My eyes searching for the brightest star, just to make the time pass. Out of the corner of my eye, I recognized the
car that was driving down the street, in the lane right Next to the sidewalk.
Brian was looking out the window, his face pale, like he was looking straight
at me. The car stopped and I walked up to it. I kneeled down and looked into
Brian's blue dull eyes. So much I wanted
for Brian to see me, he wouldn't, all I am to him now is his best friend that
died. I closed my eyes just hoping and praying he would see me, picturing the
look on his face in my head.
"Nick?" I heard someone say.
I opened my eyes to see a look on Brian's face, that said I thought you were
dead.
"You… you can see me?" I asked as tears
filled my eyes. Brian was about to say something, but didn't get a chance to as
the car pulled away, throwing me back
onto the ground.
"No! go back I saw Nick!" I
heard Brian yell as the car sped down the street.
"Brian it was just your
imagination, we all miss him but in your heart you know he's gone" AJ said
as Brian's eyes filled with tears.
Things ran through my mind like that
never have before. I was so confused, If I was dead how could Brian see me? I
got up off the ground, not feeling any pain from the fall. I walked to my
house, all the lights were on and two cars were in the driveway. I put my hand
on the doorknob, but it just went through it. I walked through the door
and felt the warmth go through me as I pass through. The cold returned as I was
fully in my house. I looked to the table where I heard crying. It was Aaron who
was crying and BJ was trying to calm him down as best as she could. I walked
over to Aaron and put my hand on his shoulder. I felt him shiver under the feel
of my cold hand. I tear slid down my cheek as I took my hand off his shoulder
and looked at the both of them, both sitting there now tears sliding down both
there faces. I couldn't stand to see them in pain anymore. I turned away and
walked up the stairs. I walked towards my room and heard talking. I recognized
the voices as AJ's and Kevin's.
"I'm worried about Brian"
Kevin said as I walked to the door of my room. They both were cleaning out the
stuff from my room.
"Why?" AJ asked as he picked
up one of my shirts and placed it into a good-will bag.
"You heard him in the car, he
said he saw Nick, Maybe he's going crazy". Kevin said as he sat down on my
bed.
"Kev, Brian's not going crazy,
he's just taking this really hard, you know how nick and his friendship
was." AJ said as he finished cleaning out my dresser.
"Yeah, I guess your right, Let's
go downstairs and help them clean down there" Kevin said as he got up and
grabbed the bag he was holding.
AJ gripped his bag tighter as Kevin
and him made there way downstairs. I cant believe they thought Brian was going
crazy. I felt so tired, wishing I could go to sleep, I sat down on the bed but
fell right through it. I stood up and sighed as I walked out of my room and
downstairs, where everyone else was.
