Angel ~ In the Eyes of Megan

Chapter 1

Hi, my name's Megan Campbell and I am dead. Well, brain dead to be exact. My body was recovered from the accident but my ability to process was not. There's no recovering from being brain dead. Nothing. Nada. So you're probably really confused on how I'm able to tell you this. If you've ever seen the movie "If I Stay" then it's something kind of like that. I can see and hear everyone around me but they can't see me.

In a way I'm sort of like a trippy ghost. I don't know why I'm stuck like this but I guess God didn't want me to visit him yet. I drop in on my Grandparents often and they visit me at the hospital just as much. They're the only reason why I'm still IN the hospital. They don't want to let me go and I don't want to be let go of either. "I'm sorry Megan. I am so sorry. This shouldn't have happened. Whenever I called you a beautiful angel, I never would have thought that you would literally be one so soon."My Grandma would always say to me.

I sometimes go over to my aunt's house or Maggie. I don't visit Aunt Claire very often though because her house smells like cat piss. My "spirit" or whatever you want to call it, could go anywhere so I'm not just stuck in some hospital, roaming the halls. Out of all places I go to that sadden me, seeing the Magcon concerts has to be the worst. Whenever I over hear a teenage girl talk about Magcon locations, I'll go and see how they're doing.

Taylor's reaction was the worst when they all found out about my "death". Cameron and him hugged each other as Taylor sobbed into his shoulder. I couldn't believe what an impact my death made on everyone. Sometimes it just doesn't feel real. I just wish that could show myself to everyone so that they wouldn't be so sad. I even noticed that people on Twitter were talking about my death too.

It was so weird. Everywhere I looked I saw people talking about me. I felt famous. But too bad I got famous after I died. Whenever I'm bored I sometimes watch the Television in my hospital room. "Man shoots children and wife before shooting himself and burning down his own house" I hear all the time now. Pictures of my burning house would appear shortly after. I missed life. Everything about it was beautiful. Especially my best friend Maggie. 

She was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Whenever I was sad she could point it out and force me to talk about it. Whenever I was angry, she'd do the same thing. She was the only person that I could fangirl with and not feel crazy. Its so depressing to see Maggie. She's usually just sitting in her room writing in her journal, talking to my spirit, or crying.

"I love you Meg. You gave me life. You gave me hope. You gave me a reason to smile. You gave me the power of friendship. Thank you." She had said to me. It broke my heart. After that I went back to the hospital and sat down in front of my body. I stared at my pale skin as I my chest fell up and down. I reached my hand out to touch my own cheek but I was startled by the loud voice of the doctor. 

"Here she is. Its kind of late though so just don't stay too long." I turned my head around to see Cameron and Taylor enter the room. I wanted to scream (I very much could have because no one would hear me). I moved asside as Taylor set down a  bouquet of flowers on the little table next to me. "I can't believe what happened to her." Taylor said to Cameron. Taylor was on one side of me and Cam was on the other. This was like a dream come true, too bad I was dead.

"I know." Cam sighed. "When I met her she told me how I inspired her. Of course almost every girl says this to us but I mean..I felt that connection you know? That feeling that she meant every word she said." He held my hand in his. "I did Taylor. I did." I said to him. "I just wish this wouldn't have happened." Cam was sitting back in a chair with a sad expression and then suddenly he looked at Taylor and smirked. 

"Dude. You love her." He laughed. Taylor blushed. "I don't love her." Cam sat up. "Yeah right. Look at you! You're even holding her hand right now!" Taylor glance fell to our hands and he moved them away. "Its ok Taylor. I love you too." I said to him. "Shutup." He snickered at Cam. "Ha! Not denying it." They headed to the door and soon disappeared down the hallway. I decided to follow them since I had nothing else to do. 

I got into the elevator with them and it was quiet. Niether one of them talked. It was like that until we got to the car. "Wanna head to my place?" Cam asked. "Sure. Is it cool if I stay the night?" They opened the car doors and I squeezed past them into the back. "Yeah totally. Nash is working though so we've gotta keep it down." Taylor chuckled. "Fine by me." They got in and soon we were driving down the streets. 

The street lights glowed and the rodes were nearly empty. Trap music was playing from the radio and it felt like I was still alive. I turned to Taylor and smiled. "If only you could hear me." I said to him. His head turned my way slightly and then back towards the window. Butterflies flew in my stomache which I didn't think was still possible but surely it still was. "I didn't know her very well but I sure as hell miss her." Taylor broke the silence. 

"I know you do man." Cam patted his shoulder then put his hand back on the wheel. Soon enough we turned into a gated community. The apartment complexes were huge and beautiful. Especially since they weren't even houses and they looked like mansions. We drove passed some of the buildings and eventualy got to Cam's. I quickly jumped out behind Taylor and we walked inside. "Nash!" Cameron shouted. "Yeah!?" Nash shouted back. "You suck ass!" Cameron hollared while laughing. I laughed too. 

Maggie and I were the same. Insulting each other and then laughing about it. I sat down on the couch and just watched the scene. Nash came downstairs to say hi and then they all took a seat at the kitchen counter. "So, how is she?" Nash asked them. "Dead." Taylor stated rather quick. "Wow. I'm sorry dude." Nash was thrown back by Taylor's response. "Well, she's alive but brain dead." He looked down at his hands in a sad way. "Oh, I see. There's no recovering from that is there?" Nash muttered. 

"Well listen, we can find you another girl alright?" Nash tried to cheer him up. "I don't want another girl bro. She was beautiful. So sweet." The guys just stared at him like he was insane. "You're not crazy Taylor, I love you too." I said to him. "I think I'm just gonna go to bed." He got up and headed upstairs. "I feel bad for him." Nash said. "Yeah tell me about it. I hope he snaps out of it because we've got a lot of shit we gotta do." Cam said. "Yeah, I know. I'm gonna crash too. Night." Nash went upstairs leaving Cameron and I alone. "Megan, if you're listening. Please help Taylor snap out of this." He said, looking up at the ceiling. "I can't." I said to him.
