"Crystal? Do you believe in the after world?"
"Is it where souls go when they die?"
"Yes, I feel like we have met before in that world."
"Does that mean that we will be together forever?"
"It does Crystal..It does"
Edward? Why did you lie to me? How could you tell me that we would be together forever when I just die from that thing your brother calls an "accident"?
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
"AHHH!" I screamed as I jolted up.
My brother opened the door. "dude...You scream just like a baby girl."
"SHUT UP BRIAN!" I hissed.
Brian laughed and left to get ready for school while I sat in bed for a moment and thought about my dream.
"Crystal?" I thought. "How is she talking to me when she passed away three years ago?"
"Brian wait up!" I ran to the bus stop, chasing my brother.
"You're so slow-...."
"What is it?"
I look over to the the bus stop to see cops around it.
"Brian?" I asked "what's going on?"
"I don't know... let's go check it out!"
We both walked to the stop but before we can get a look of what's going on a cop stopped us.
"HEY! You can't come over here!"
"What's going on officer?" My brother asked.
"There has been a murder over there." The officer answered "It was a boy that was murdered, here is a photo of the kid."
Brian and I took a look at it.
"Oh my god..." Brian said sounding surprised.
"That's Mathew, the guy that always picked on me..." I claimed, very puzzled myself.
"Oh really? I will have to list you as a suspect then." saying this, he took out his notepad. "What is your name kid?"
"Edward, Edward Jefferson." I responded.
I saw the bus come from the corner of my eye.
"I'm sorry officer, but the bus has come." I told him.
"Ok kids... be safe." he said walking away to interview some other people.
Brian and I left to go catch the bus.
On the bus, my brother and I talked about what just happened.
"Who do you think killed him?" I asked.
"I have no clue, but whoever it was.... It will not be good.."
Later that day, around third period. My friend Josh stopped me in the hallway to ask me why I was acting so weird.
"I'm completely fine." I notified him
"You don't look fine." He told me "You look like you just saw ghost and you didn't text me back this morning."
"I'm fine, I'm just not feeling that good today."
"I don't care, I hate you byyyee!" He said walking away.
I just rolled my eyes and walked into my next class, ELA.
In ELA Mrs. Withron just talked and talked about vocab words because we failed our last two quizzes.
Later on to my last class. Math. We had some freetime to talk before class started because two boys got in trouble for punching each other's thighs. I have a weird math class.
I was talking to Casey about the dream I had last night.
"Hmm... Your dream seems paranormal to me.." She told me in a serious voice.
"How so?" I asked.
"You're dreaming of a flashback that happened about six years ago." She responded "That girl Crystal might be trying to communicate with you from the afterworld, or her soul just hasn't passed on yet.. She might need help."
"Thank you for not thinking i'm weirdo..."
"I have heard of these things happening before. Tell me if anything else happens, ok?"
"Ok.."
Mrs. Taylor yelled at us to sit down so we can get started.
After school, I open the door to my house and plop down on the couch and took a little nap.
Edward? Are you listening to me? Do you still love me like you did before, before I died I mean... Do you still care for me? Do you love someone else? Are you trying to block out the memory of me? I did you a favor by taking his life... He hurt you.... No one will ever hurt you again with me watching you.
I wake up straight away.
"Crystal?! Are you here with me?" I yell "Give me a sign!"
I got up and grabbed my phone to call my best friend Noah.
"Hey? What's up?" Noah answered
"I have something to tell you! Can you ask you're parents if you can spend the night?" I asked.
"Is it really that important?"
"YES! TEXT ME IF IT'S A YES!" I yelled hanging up right away and put my phone on the counter.
My parents are out of town to see my grandma, so I don't have to worry about asking them first.
I run down into the basement and grabbed two sleeping bags, extra blankets, and some flashlights. I got back upstairs to check to see if Noah texted me back. His text said that he could come, so I set up the sleeping bags and blankets in the living room and put the flash lights on the counter.
*DING DONG*
I ran to answer the door.
"Hello-AHh!" He said while I dragged him quickly inside.
I dragged him into the living room and sat down quickly.
"Jeez, what was that for?" Noah asked.
"Dude, some weird stuff has been going on" I said to him "Ever since my parents left to see grandma some "spirit ghost thing" has been haunting my dreams!"
"Have you gone crazy?"
"I swear i'm not crazy!" I say to him. "Let me prove it to you!"
I get up and grab my phone from the counter and pull up the voice memos app thing.
"I'm going to take a small nap, and you need to record the audio of me sleeping!" I said "Got it?"
"Fine, don't take long." He responded.
I get into my sleeping bag and slowly fall asleep.
Who is that? Is he a friend? Or is he something more? He better not be...
I wake up.
"no!!" I yell.
"What?!" Noah yelled.
I get up and pick up the recording.
"Listen to this!" I tell Noah.
I hit play to the recording.
The recording sounded erie. It was quiet, until I heard a very quiet whisper.
Who is that? Is he a friend? Or is he something more? He better not be...
"AHHHHH HOLY DONUTS!" he yelled. "So it is real?"
"Yes, that's what I have been trying to tell you!" I said to him
*Ring Ring*
"Hm, who could that be" I said while picking up my phone. "Hello?"
"Oh! So you ignore my facetime calls but you don't ignore my phone call?!"
"Hi Josh." I said to him.
"HI JOSH!" Noah yelled.
"Who is that?!" Josh yelled "I'm coming to your house!" He hung up.
"Well then." I groaned "This will be a fun night."
