The Power Within: A Rose Full Of Emotions

The Fallen

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

As Jake and the others enter the house, I stand up from the couch and Jasper walks out of his room. Amber hands me some clothes and I head off to the bathroom without a second glance from anyone.

I didn't know ghosts could take showers but when I felt the hot water on my back, I immediately felt peace. Feeling the droplets of water roll down my skin felt like bliss.

Having the shampoo wash away from my scalp, ugh, so satisfying, and the conditioner!? So soft on my hair!

I did not appreciate body wash or soap enough when I was alive. Now I do. When I wash off and get all the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair, I quickly shave my legs and armpits, soon rinsing off one more time just to make sure I didn't miss any shampoo or conditioner or even soap.

I exit the shower and grab a towel, wrapping around my slim, sunken body. I really should see if I can eat anything. I use to be quite skinny before but I still had insecurities and before my mind says it for me, I didn't like being skinny but I just couldn't gain any weight. I wish I could be more like those curvy, beautiful women but my weight had other plans.

As I dry off and shake my thoughts away, I hear a light knock on the door. Amber's muffled voice travels through the bathroom door.

"Hey, dinners ready, everyone already ate except me and Andi, and Mary...we wanted to wait for you if that's okay." God, I missed her. I was a total bitch to her back then...I should have helped when those assholes were bullying her. I know I'm not much better than them but at least I've changed.

I will never hurt my sister like that again or any one. Ever. Again. And that's a promise. I will protect my sister and I will protect her friends. If anyone wants my sister or me, they will have to go through me.

I quickly shake my thoughts away again as I realize I need to respond to her, "Yeah thats fine. Hey, I would like to talk with you after we get done, okay?"

"Okay." I assume she walks away after responding to me. I finished getting dressed in some of my old clothes I never got to wear. I put on a white tank top, a oversized black sweater with writing on it, some black volleyball shorts and some black socks.

If you couldn't tell already we all love the color black, its just not like any other color. It's dark and it goes with anything. Everyone looks good in black or white.

I open the bathroom door and walk downstairs. On my way down, my thoughts get the better of me. Will they like me? I. Bet they heard the stories about me. I wish I never did those thing stop the Mayfield's, they already had a shitty life...then I just had to be a complete bitch to my sister...I should have died a lot sooner so they would actually be happy and not fucked up like me...no, stop thinking like that. They would be sad if you were gone...maybe.

As I get to the kitchen, I see Andi, Amber, and Mary all around the kitchen counter. I guess the boys went of to their rooms or something.

I stand there for a moment until they notice me, Andi gives a small friendly smile, Mary gives a wave of her hand and Amber has the brightest smile of them all. She runs over to me and wraps her arms around my neck as she laughs, "I can't believe your here...you are here, right? Your not just some different version of you or whatever?" I chuckle as I answer her question, "No, it's me. I promise."

She gives me another quick hug and whispers to me, "I'm so glad your here." I smile as she pulls away and leads me to the other girls. I give a small smile and admire their looks. They are absolutely beautiful...man, I should have been more nice to people back then, especially my friends and family.
