Ashlin's P.O.V.
It's been about five days since Nicole died. It was horrifying. I've had nightmares every night. The police called me down to the station. I hope I'm not in trouble.
*In a room in the Police Station*
I'm sitting in a room by myself. A mirror is on the wall beside me. Random, I thought. Then an officer walked in and I stood up. "Hi Ashlin I'm Officer Bob. Nice to meet you." He shook my hand. I stayed silent, scared. He sat down in the chair across from me, on the other side of a table. He took out a list of questions I guess he was gonna ask me. He cleared his throat and was ready to speak.
"Now, Ashlin, I just want to ask you questions about the night of Nicole's death." When I heard that I shuddered, thinking about the horrible moment. I finally got words out, "W-What do you w-wanna know?"
Officer Bob looked at the paper than me. "Now don't be nervous, it is just a couple questions." He stated. "Now, did you reconize the car that hit Nicole?"
The car came into my mind, the black Convertible with tinted windows, a few scratches on the side. Since it was a hit and run, I figured he wanted to know. "I never saw it before, but I know what it looked like." Officer Bob smiled, taking out a notepad. "Please describe it."
"Black Convertible with tinted windows and about three to four scratches on the right side. There was a GPS inside and the roof was missing, the guy had boxes on top for the roof." The officer ripped the peice of paper and handed it to a guard that was standing to the side. "Hand this to the detectives." The guard nods and walks out.
"Now, Ashlin," Bob said, "do you know if Nicole had any problems with anyone? Fights, arguments, things people wanted to get her for?"
I thought for a minute. The only fight I saw her in was with me, but we made up, so I guess no. "No, she got along with everyone she knew."
Officer Bob gave me a look. I shot him the same look back.
He stood up. "Ashlin, are you lying? Do you know who killed your sister?"
Anger built inside. "Why would I keep a secret about someone killing my sister? I'm not stupid, I would have dialed 911 right away."
He walks over next to me. He takes my wrist and handcuffs it. "What are you doing?!" I scream. "I didn't kill my sister! I loved her! I didn't kill her!" He handcuffs my other one and walks me out. I'm in tears by now. Ryan is sitting in a chair and runs over.
"Why is she in handcuffs?" Ryan says, staying calm. Officer Bob looks at him. "We think she has proof that she killed her sister or had something to do with the death."
Ryan took a step back and held up his hands. "Woah, wait a minute. We, me and Ashlin, have proof we had NOTHING to do with Nicole's death. Me, Ashlin, and Nicole were together all the time. If Nicole wasn't with Ashlin, I was. We never got calls or IMs or texts about killing. Please take the handcuffs off."
Officer Bob stood there thinking, then let me go. I ran to Ryan crying. We left and when we got to my house, I couldn't believe what I saw.
There she was. Nicole. All ghost-like. Sitting on the tree swing outside. She had scratches, bruises, and blood. I guess ghosts can be seen the way they died. She still had the dress and heels on, but her hair was down and knotty. It became like that when the car hit her. Me and Ryan got out of the car.
"Ryan do you see her too?" I ask, pointing to the swing."
Ryan looked at me with the most confused face ever. "You're just seeing things. You miss her too much. You know you have an imagination. Get inside and go to sleep." He hugs me then goes back to the car and his brother starts driving away, of course since were not old enough to drive.
As I stood there watching them drive away I heard a voice, "So Bob thought you killed me huh?" I turned around and she was there, talking to me.
"Yeah, is that really you Nicole?" Nicole smiles and nods. "Yup, it's me. Now how is it possible that you can see me?"
I shrug. "I have no idea." I study her. "Am I able to touch you?" Nicole nods, "I am able to do human things. Look." She reaches out and touches my arm. I laugh and hug her. She hugs back, "It's like you never lost me."
I think for a minute. "How come Ryan can't see you?"
"I became invisible. I don't want him seeing me yet, mayb tomorow if he comes over." I nod, understanding. "Wanna come inside? It's weird without you in there. You have to get cleaned up and in new clothes anyway." Nicole nods and walks with me inside.
