After about an hour of arguing with Thomas about me not going to Lou's I finally make it home.

He followed me the entire way home pleading and begging. It made me seem like a total bitch but I don't care right now. Why was it such a big deal that I didn't come to one event with him. And if he really wanted to hang out with me that bad he would have just come home with me.

I unlock the front door of my house. It feels quiet and cold as per usual. But the usual factor of me feeling alone in the house was no longer there. Some one else was here too.

I hear someone moving in the lounge. I flatten my body against the wall as if it were to some how magically hide me. What if they had a gun? Usually that would have scared me on another level but right now I couldn't care less. I just wanted my house to go back to its alone self. If that makes sense.

Okay you can do this just go in there.

"Get out of here now or I'm calling the cops" I say sternly as I step into the lounge.

My mouth quivers. What. This can't be. My eyes fog over immediately making it impossible for me to tell if what I'm seeing is real. My heart is about ten seconds from jumping out of my chest.
I open my mouth and scream.

Turning around as fast as I can and running up to my room, petrified. They are following me. I can hear there foot steps following up close behind me.

"Erica wait" the voice says.

No fucking happening I was getting out
Of her as fast as I could.

"This is a dream. Go away. Go away!" I scream. I can taste the tears on my lips. The pain and denial flows over my taste buds.

My physiatrist had been giving
Me these pills, one of the side affects had been hallucinations. But it had never happened to me when I took any other pills so I just assumed it would never happen to me.

I also assumed that my hallucinations would just end up with me in a field of flowers or walking on clouds. But this was the complete opposite.

I slam the door behind me pushing my body up against the door so they can't get in. It doesn't work within seconds I am flying across my floor from the force of the opening door.

I slide my hand into my pocket as fast as I can and grab out my phone.

"Thomas, please come to mine" I say bawling my eyes out to him.

"Erica?! Are you okay what's wrong?!" He says quickly.

"He's here" I say barley louder than a whisper.

"Erica who's there?"

I crawl into the corner of my room wrapping my arms around my legs. Rocking back and forth trying to calm myself down.

"Callum's here" and that's all I can say before my phone is knocked out of my hand onto the floor.

"Erica? Hello?" I can here Thomas say before the phone goes dead.

"This isn't real. It's just a nightmare

This isn't real

This isn't real

You will wake up in any moment now"

I whisper.

"Erica, it is really me" he says leaning over and touching my arm making me Jolt back.

"No it's not. You're dead. I have your heart in my chest to prove it. Your just
My imagination"

"Erica I'm so sorry" he says. He grabs my hand and holds up to his chest. It's warm, I can feel the pulse of his heart beneath my finger tips.

"You're.. You're alive. But how ?" I say gobsmacked. How the fuck is this possible.

"I can explain-" he starts. But I cut
Him off my wrapping my arms around him. "I missed you so fucking much" I say quiet enough so much only he can hear. Even though no one else is here.

He wraps his arms around me too. hugging me tightly.

"Erica we need to talk" he says sitting down on my bed. No shit we need to talk!

"Tell me. Everything. Leave nothing out" I say aggressively. Personally it would have been great if Callum had let me know he wasn't actually dead three months before now.

"Well" he sighs. "Promise you won't get mad at me or mom and dad"

"Mom and dad? What have they got to do with this?!"

"That night I was in a car accident.
But I wasn't killed"

"Yea no shit Sherlock. But the cops said that it was a suicide?" I say wiping the tears off my chin.

"Yea a failed suicide. And did the cops say that directly to you or was it your doctor?"

"Doctor"

"Fuck they are unbelievable" he groans.

"Callum get to the point" I say impatiently. I just want to know what the fucks going on and why this is all happening.

"Right I'm sorry. Any way I was in in a coma for about a week. Mom thinks it was your fault. That I was the reason the crash happened" he says with no emotion what so ever in his voice.

"I was even driving the car"
I say hysterically.

"That's what I said! Anyway. She knew you wouldn't have the balls to come and see me so when I did wake up she had me driven to an even smaller town then this shit hole about 18 hours north of here in Canada. she then has kept me house bound for the past three months and-"

"Wait but what about your funeral?!"

"What? You're alive?!" A shocked voice says from the entrance of my room.
"Erica I thought you were just talking crazy. But he's actually here" Thomas
Says walking over to us slowly. His mouth hanging open.

"Thomas can you please leave" Callum says shortly.

"But"

"Now" he says loudly when Thomas starts to protest. Thomas doesn't even try to argue.

"That's my boyfriend Callum. What the hell" I say angrily. Even though I was immensely glad to see my supposed dead brother he had no right to be a total ass to his best friend.

"He's your what?" Callum says angrily. He runs out of the room down the hall after Thomas.

"Callum don't!" I protest. He had that look in his eye like he was going to seriously hurt someone. I follow them down the hall way.

Thomas is already sprinting. "Get your ass back here you British scum" he screens.

"Callum I can explain please" he begs. But it's too late. My brothers fist has already collided with Thomas face.

"No! Callum stop" I scream. Thomas is the next to throw a punch startling Thomas.

"You fucking jerk. Stop fucking with my sister and tell her the fucking truth" he spits in his face.

Thomas kicks Callum in the shins making him fall over onto the ground.

I don't see the rest because my tears are blinding my vision.
