I got out the cab and waved bye to her as soon as the taxi was out of sight I ran up the front steps and unlocked the door as fast as I could but the door kept jamming. I rushed up stairs as soon as I got in slamming the door behind me. I started to shove everything under my bed and in bags and put all, the rubbish in a black bag and ran down stairs to put it in the bucket outside.
Then I went into the cup bored under the stairs where the electric meter was and flicked the two main switches to turn the electric off then I teen out the electric key and ran upstairs and put it on the upstairs hallway window and closed the yellow printed curtain. I went in to my bedroom to get my phone and texted Jamie saying that I was going to bed and that the electric was out. The next thing I knew there was banging at the door I froze then came voices but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I started to feel weird.
I was feeling sick, dizzy and my body felt numb and like it was floating like in a dream, then everything went blank. The next thing I knew Jamie was leaning over me and while talking to someone else I started to panic and I tried to move but it hurt to move I managed to move my head slightly to my right and seen a familiar female sitting on my bed. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I could see lips move. Then sound came flooding back to me.
'Maybe we should call an ambulance' said the lassie
'Wait she is coming she is with us, can you hear me Lisa?' asked Jamie
'Is she ok?' she asked
'Who is she?' I whispered to Jamie in the lowest voice possible for me
'Yeah she's ok' smiled Jamie helping me sit up slowly 'what happened Lisa?'
'Huh I don't know, someone was at the door and I heard voices then it's like now' I replied
'Yeah that was us we heard a thump and came rushing in and we found you like this' said the unknown female
'K' I replied staring at the floor feeling me face go red
Jamie started to sign to me asking why I didn't tell the person behind me about the accident. I signed back asking who she was. I was so shocked at the reply I spun around and stared at her. She can't be they told me she was dead after a month of her disappearance. It was I recognise the mark on her finger it was where she had stitches cause I broke her finger when I was scared when she snuck up behind me after watching 'Nightmare on Elm Street' I was only about four at the time she was fourteen we were close until she left when I was about eight.
Chapter 7
It was for sure Kayla my sister. I just sat there frozen in place happy she was alive but sad that we had to, meet again like this. It was then that I remembered that I was angry at her she was the only person that I trusted and she broke our only promise. The promise that she made me and swore that she could keep it, but two years later, she was gone. She didn't
't even give me a post card, a letter, or a call I turned and face the window feeling angry and confused.
'Why are you here?' I asked
'To visit you and mum and everyone else for a bit' replied Kayla
'They moved' I replied staring at Jamie
'Then why are you still here?' asked Kayla
'Am only here till summer then am gone too' I lied
'Where did they move to?' asked Kayla
'Cardiff' I replied feeling Jamie stare on me
'What they doing there?' asked Kayla
'Dunno am not a psychic' I replied
'Well can I stay with you?' asked Kayla
'Dunno' I mumbled
'It's ok I can stay with a friend. Are you mad at me or something?' asked Kayla
'What you doing with leather on you hate leather?' I asked
'It's protection just in case I get thrown from my bike' replied Kayla
'BIKE?' I raised my voice
'Yeah motor bike as in vroom vroom' laughed Kayla
'Since when have you liked bikes you called them a death trap and ungodly, you gave me in trouble when I said I wanted one' I sighed
'Things change Lisa but back at my question are you mad at me or something?' she asked again
'Yeah you are right things change so do people, I had to find that out the hard way, the first sign was you walking out on me and breaking the promise the second was mother telling me you were dead and the rest followed. Now if you don't mind I would like you to leave so I can talk to Jamie and go to bed as I have a lot to do tomorrow' I said in one long breathe
'Ok I will come up tomorrow night if that's ok?' asked Kayla
'Do what you want you it hasn't stopped you before' I said turning my back on her as she left
'Why didn't you tell her?' asked Jamie after we heard the front door close and the revving of a motor bike
'Cause then everyone will now' I replied 'I haven't told certain people yet but I will when I am ready so please don't say anything until then. I will owe you big time'
'It has to come out soon people are gonna start to wonder and can I ask you a question? 'Asked Jamie
'Yeah but it don't mean you're gonna get an answer' I smiled trying to comfort her
'Why do you still have your school uniform?' she asked
'Memories' I lied
'But that was years ago' replied Jamie
'It was also the first time I met him' I smiled remembering
'oh sorry didn't know' replied Jamie looking at her watch 'well I gotta go we will take later she said leaving?' but before I go are you ok?'
'Yeah am fine just tired, a good night rest and I will feel better and sorry for ruining your night' I apologized
'am just glad you are ok call or text me if you want or need anything, am here' smiled Jamie leaving 'why you got no electric you forgot to pay the bills cause I can pay it until you get everything sorted if you want?' asked Jamie
'no its ok it's not a bill it's a key meter' I replied I will get when I go to the shops when I wake up' I replied 'oh can you lock the door and put the key through the letter box please?'
'Yeah ok' she replied leaving 'Bubye'
'Bye see you later' I said starting to crawl to my bed
I stood up after counting to fifty when I heard the keys hit the floor after Jamie put it through the letterbox. I stood up, got changed into my grey baggy three quarter length trousers and a long sleeved black t-shirt and sat on my bed. I got my books out and started my home work started with maths because I hardly go to that class but I go when I have to, twice a week. After a few hours of maths I started the drama stuff that I had to do which was the log thing about what we done in class and what we learned. That took about half an hour to do weeks' worth.
Then to my worst yet favourite subject maybe that's cause it wasn't boring like most of the classes then once all that was done it was about 9am so I got up and done the washing and got everything ready for tomorrow when the washing machine finished I put the clothing over the radiator to dry. I sat down on my bed and reached in a carry a bag and took out a sandwich to eat. Once finished I curled up in the corner of my room on my bed with a book and started reading 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince'. After about half an hour reading I seemed to of passed out.
I was fully aware of my surroundings but I couldn't move or see anything it was like I was in a dark room feeling happy for the first time in a long time, which scared me a lot each time I am happy bad things happen unless Richard is near. There seemed to have no sense of time I felt so free and at peace. Is this death I wondered if so then I like it am not in any kind of pain not emotional not physical or mental this is the best feeling ever.
