Haunted || M.C

Prologue

"Hayden, I'm so sorry, I just heard about all of this are you ok?" my mum asked sympathetically as she walked into my room and stood in front of me, with sad eyes.

I was confused.

"What's wrong mum?" I stood up, feeling concerned and worried, and walked towards her.

"Didn't Luke tell you?" She questioned.

"Tell me what?".

What was my brother supposed to tell me? I was so confused.

My mum only sighed before she took ahold of my hands and led me to the bed and sat me down.

"Honey. It's about Michael" she swallowed a lump in her throat.

I felt my heart ache when she said his name, I hadn't spoken to him in weeks, because we argued over something so stupid and I left him, which I felt so stupid for because I missed him so much. "What about him?"  I asked.

She looked at the floor and took in a deep breath.

"Mum? What's happened?" I asked starting to get really worried with my mum being so silent.

"H-he's dead Hayden" she breathed out, a few tears fell from her eyes as she said so.

As soon as those words came from her mouth I felt like everything stopped.

It had to be some sort of sick joke right? Luke just got mum in on one of his stupid pranks again, yeah it had to be a prank.

"No mum that's ridiculous, you can stop trying to prank me now, I've caught onto it" I chuckled in denial, I got cut off chuckling by my mum.

"I'm not joking around Hayden, he's really gone honey" she placed her hands on my shoulders to try get the news through to me and to show me it was real and it wasn't any sort of joke.

I searched her face for any sign of it being a prank or such, but nothing. And that's when It hit me.

Michael was actually dead.

My hands flew to my mouth as I sat there in utter shock.

"He was drink driving last night, he got hit by another car, on the way over here apparently, and it killed him on impact. They couldn't save him honey I'm so sorry" she said as she wrapped her arms around me and held me tight.

And that's when the tears started coming out like waterfalls.

"H-he can't b-be gone mum, I-love him so m-much" I cried into her shoulder, she rubbed my back comforting me.

"I know hun, and he loved you so much, so so much" she said.

She cradled me in her arms, I was crying like a little baby.

"I have to see Luke" I quickly untangled myself from my mum and ran to my older brothers room, the door was open, and all I could hear was sobs.

"Luke?" I whimpered as I peaked my head into the room.

Luke looked up at me, his hair was disheveled, his eyes puffy, red, and he had tear stained cheeks. He jumped up and ran over to me when he realised it was me, embracing me into a tight hug, both of us a crying mess.

"I-i lost my b-best friend" he sobbed.

"Me too" I croaked out.

We stayed hugging for a while.

We had to be there for each other at this time, we lost someone so important to the pair of us.

It was one of the worst nights of our lives...
