Chapter • 21 - You're dead

Okay so after we got home yesterday, Nobody asked me anything. James just told me to head to sleep which I thought was weird from them.

But oh well, that's a plus for me.

I didn't get to stay up though because apparently I'm still punished from skipping school... so that's fun!

I get up from my bed and walk to my nightstand in front of the window. I look out and I take in the amazing view.

I swear I'll never get tired of it.

I look at a small bench somewhat far away from the house. On the sidewalk by the street.

But what keeps me staring is a hooded person sitting there. Looking straight ahead. I can't seen their face because their hoodie is covering it but it looks like they are looking straight ahead. Towards me?

No they can't be. It's a long distance and why would they be staring at me anyways.

I keep staring at them. They aren't moving just sitting in place on the bench staring directly towards my way.

Better to be safe than sorry. I turn around and reach for my phone. I might as well take a picture of them incase.

I turn on the camera and walk towards the window again. Searching for the same bench, I found it, but the person isn't there anymore.

I look around to find them but nothing. How can they just disappear in a few seconds? Maybe the bus came and I didn't notice.

No, that just sounds really stupid.

Could it be him? Oh god no.

My heart starts beating fast and I feel like it's going to explode any second. Sweat starts forming on my hands and I squeeze them to try and calm myself but it doesn't work. I CANT be having a panic attack.

I've been doing so good! Why now?

I take a deep breath and fall to the floor trying to calm down.

Maybe the coldness of the floor will help. I lay down on the floor and take deep breaths.

But the tears won't stop coming out of my eyes. What is wrong with me? I haven't been like this since-

Since I was with them. But it can't be him, Right?

He died in a crash with Mary. Joe can't be alive. Because if he is, my life is about to change again.

I hear the door slam open and I tilt my head up to a concerned Leo.

He runs over to me and kneels down in front of me.

I can feel myself hyperventilating and more tears falling down.

I see him panicking on what to do but he soon stops and puts two hands over my shoulders. He then looks me in the eyes and says, "Kim, this is another panic attack isn't it? Here, listen to me. Choose a object. Anything at all, then what I want you to do is describe it to me. Focus on every little detail, what color, how big or small it is, how it makes you feel, and tell me."

I turn my head to see Oliver run to the door and spot us sitting here. He doesn't bother getting closer as he sets his eyes on Leo.
