Beyond Life (Book 2)

26

I walk up to the teacher. "So how did you get here?" I asked.

"Well that's a long story. But you seem in a happy mood what happened?" He asked.

"Oh I guess that's a long story too but to put it short I'm just happy to be back home." I said.

"That's good, you should get to class now." He said and I left to study hall.

But on my way there I saw Kayla with a guy they were kissing. I look at Kayla's reaction first and see that she doesn't want to kiss him, she's struggling. I go up to the person that is doing that. Grab him and throw him off. I go up to him. "She's taken. So stop before I kill you." I said. I look back to Kayla she's on the ground trying to not cry and process what just happened.

"Oh so you will kill me? What are you her boyfriend?" I look back at him.

"No I'm her friend and she's dating someone now. So I suggest that you back off." I said.

"Awe you think you can just stop me just by threatening me?" He asked.

"No not really but I will put you six feet under if you keep it up, and that's a promise." I said and changed my eye color. Now he looks scared.

"You freak." He said then ran off. I go back to Kayla.

"Hey you doing ok?" I asked.

She nodded. "Should I tell Haley this?" Kayla asked.

"Probably unless if you want me to talk to her?" I asked.

"No I'll tell her she has to hear it from me." She said.

"Ok well next time that happens to you knee them in the balls." I said she nodded and left to her class. I gave the right advice.

I go in class, some drama happened but not as bad today. Kayla loves Haley she was just blushing this morning after a make out sesh with Haley. I sit down not even addressing myself to the class. I just take a nap there's no homework yet. I wonder if anyone else in my past will pop out of no where.

Someone taps my shoulder I look up. I can't believe who I'm seeing. "Jenna?" I asked.

"It's been 4 years how you been?" Jenna asked.

"How are you here?" I asked.

"I can't tell you that. Sorry for breaking you." She said.

"What do you mean you can't tell me?" I asked.

"Exactly how it sounds like. I can't tell you yet." She said.

"Why are you in school?" I asked.

"Well I missed a year of school it's hard to tell." She said. Why is she here she died... she died she's dead, how can she even be here? "Your over thinking it I'll tell you when your ready to hear it." She said.

When I'm ready? I would like to know now. Right now.

"Your not supposed to be here." I said. I left the room she's fake not really there it's just my head playing tricks with me.

No your wrong it's not in your head.

Get out leave... I got to leave I'm not going to be here I have to leave. Go back home. I go down the hall.

"Alex!" Jenna yelled. I stopped I look back and turn my head back to where I was going to go, home. I go downstairs and go to the entrance. I can't stay here not anymore. Someone whose dead is back alive. How does that happen?

I left... I never left school like this. Should I go back. No I shouldn't I shouldn't go back I can't face her again. I won't be able to handle it.

I go into the house I sit on the couch Nora isn't here. Do I want her here? Probably not.

"Alex why are you not at school?" Velvet asked.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Just something in my head... I think." I said.

"Just something in your head?" She asked.

"Yeah I saw Jenna again and I don't... she's dead isn't she?" I asked I looked at Velvet. Her eyes widened.

"She died in front of me she's dead it could be in your head or... or something happened when everyone left when I left maybe she came back and she had to keep it a secret." She said.

"But why would she be at Lincoln? How would she even be there?" I asked.

"Will you bring me to her?" She asked.

"I don't think I can." I said and the door opened with Kevin laughing. I see Nora and she looks at me.

"Is everything ok?" Nora asked.

"I... I don't know." I said I buried my head in my arms. I don't know what to do or think. I get up and go to Nora's room I lie down and just stay there thinking what I should do.

Well she's alive maybe you should talk to her.

And what start back to square one?

You know that's not how it works right.

I don't but it'll end up like that.

I heard the door open. "Alex what made you come back home?" Nora asked with a concerned tone.

"She's back that bitch how is she back? How is she even alive? It must be in my head but Iden said it wasn't. I can't talk to her. I just can't." I said I curled up into a ball.

"Whose back?" Nora asked.

"My ex... but she died, Nora she died, how is she back?" I asked. I look at Nora with tears going down my face. How?

Nora climbs over to me. "I don't know how but if you want answers of how your gonna have to talk to her." She said.

"But I can't if I do I'll be near the edge again I'll fall and Iden will take over again." I said.

"I won't let that happen, I'll come with you to school tomorrow if you really need me to, I can have someone watch Kevin make sure that he's safe." She said.

"I would like that." I said and I laid back down next to Nora cuddling with her. "I just don't think I can stay there with her being there." I said.

"Just take your time it's someone in your past I understand if your uncomfortable around the person, but sometime your gonna have to face it gonna have to talk to her, that could be tomorrow when I'm there or that could be a year from now." She said. She put her head on my chest. "What ever you decide I'm fine with I'll love you no matter what." She said.
