Isaac Lahey Imagines

Ghost (Part 4)

"Y/N this is Mason, Mason this is my sister Y/N I told you about." Y/N shook Mason's hand and smiled widely at him.

"It's nice to meet you, my mom gushed about you at brunch yesterday and from what I hear Matthew does nothing but gush about you to her." Y/N turned to her brother to see him glaring at her.

"I don't gush about him anymore than you gushed about Isaac when you first got together. Speaking of Lahey where is he?"

"I don't know, we are spending time apart and that's all I'm going to say on the matter."

"Wait, Lahey?" The siblings turned to face Mason.

"Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

"I think I know him, or at least heard of him. He's from Beacon Hills right?" Y/N sighed and nodded her head.

"Yup but we don't talk about Beacon Hills, too many bad memories there for him." Mason nodded at her statement not wanting to push any further. The three of them quickly finished setting the table when Y/N's mother called from the kitchen to say dinner was ready.

They all made their way to the table, each of them taking a seat and leaving an empty space beside Y/N. She could see Mason eying the empty space but didn't speak up, hoping he wouldn't mention it. As everyone began to eat and talk about the food, the awkwardness made Y/N question her choice in coming in the first place.

"This is great Mom."

"Yeah dear, superb as always."

"Thank you, It's a new recipe I'm glad you all like it." The table grew quiet for a moment and Y/N could see Mason still eying the empty spot beside her and she knew they were about to go through 'that' conversation once again.

"Why is there an extra space?"

"Um, well Mason we had another Daughter but she passed away and we like to keep an open space for her."

"Intense, how old was she?"

"She was Y/N's twin."

"Oh wow, how'd she die if you don't mind my asking?"

"Of course not, she was in a car accident."

"It was very tragic."

"Y/N's boyfriend at the time was involved as well."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss." Y/N sat silent, waiting to see if anyone would continue, when no one did she became infuriate, between Isaac and now this she was not going to let it go again.

"Oh so no one is going to tell the whole story? I didn't think so, here Mason let me let you in on a little family secret. In this house we worship the memories of people and let them surpass the living even if they were the worst. My sister and I were best friends, we did everything together our entire lives, if you only saw one of us we were up to something, I loved my sister more than anyone in the whole world. When we got into high school I got a boyfriend, an amazing guy named Justin, and we were together all through high school. I really loved him and I thought he really loved me too. We were planning on going to school together, moving away together, living a life together, being happy together, that's all we wanted. After graduation we planned on having a weekend with some friends at the lake, last minute Justin and my sister decided not to come with us and no one thought much of it, just uninterested at the last second they both and done that a few times before then. So we left without them and before we even made it to the lake I got a call from my parents telling me my twin and my boyfriend where dead. I was devastated, obviously, until I got home and walked into my room, I almost missed it but, from the corner of my eye I saw an envelope with my name on it sitting on top of my desk. So of course I picked it up to read it and when I opened it it was full of pictures of my sister and I, pictures of Justin and I and I started to cry because I was still really hurting from the lose but when I read the letter the tears were no longer from sadness, but anger. They were telling me goodbye because they were running away together, going to elope and they hopped I could forgive them. They were planning to be married before I even knew Justin was breaking up with me. They were going to break my heart without even a second thought, but that didn't matter to anyone but me. It doesn't matter that my sister's last act was hurting me all that matters is that she is perfect now that she's dead. No one will ever remember her for breaking my heart they will remember her as a beautiful soul who never did anything wrong because memories never make mistakes." Y/N plucked the napkin from her lap and thew it onto the table beside her plate as she stood. "I appreciate the dinner but I've suddenly lost my appetite, I should go." As Y/N walked away from the table she could hear Mason whisper something about being intense and her father snatched her wrist lightly, looking up at her.

"Drive safe." Y/N leaned down and kissed her father on the cheek and her mother stood and walked toward the kitchen.

"At least let me send you home with some leftovers you might be hungry later." She followed her into the kitchen where she was handed the small container holding some of what would be left from their dinner and another holding a small piece of cake. Y/N hugged her mother close and kissed her on the cheek as her mother whispered in her ear. "Happy birthday sweetheart, I'm sorry it didn't go as well as you might have hoped."

"It never does." He mother kissed her cheek once before they separated and Y/N made her way out of the house and to her car where she found herself wiping tears away before she could even buckle up.
