Since She Died Young....

Chapter 1-The cold midnight breeze

Nothing made sense anymore. How could I hear her voice when she's not even there! Thoughts like this have been invading my mind ever since she died. 'This isn't our goodbye Jojoe' kept ringing throu my head. Every night I see her in my dreams. 'Come find me come find me' is what she always says, but everytime I move I just fall deeper and deeper into the water. What exactly is going on?

As I looked over this new entry, I tried to think of logical explanations. Nothing came to mind as I shut down my laptop for the night. It was around 10 when I decided to go for a walk. Tieing up my brown hair and slipping on my navy blue hoodie, I climbed out my window careful not to wake up my mother, father, and little brother. If they knew I did this they would never let me hear the end of it. Stupid mother.

I felt so free without my body to tie me down, and it was very peaceful. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that Jojoe is still so confused and naive. She never believed when I told her about ghost and human contact. Bet she should have listened huh?

With my killer still out there, I'm scared for her. She may become a victim to his countless crimes and I dont want her to end up wandering with regrets like I am. More importantly I hope that she hasn't been being picked on either. If so then I guess I have some work to do... Jojoe, just dont forget about me.

Feeling as though my name came through the clearing again, I looked around. I found myself at the park where me and Sam first met. I felt a new tear wander down my cheek. I went to sit on the swing set where me and Sam used to play. As I sat down on the right swing I remembered our first memory together.

 'Hey look at the new kid she's such a freak' one girl yelled. Pointing to me. All the kids gathered around me as I only sunk lower into my position in which I was sitting. I felt stinging on my arms, legs, and face as I was being pelted with rocks. This happened for about 3 weeks until she came. 'Hey it's another new girl' said the same girl that started getting me pelted with rocks.

At first I felt sympathetic for her to be crowded by all those people, but then again, they were away from me. It didn't last for long until they all surrounded me again. I felt the cold glare from this knew girl as everyone but her started to throw rocks at me. Suddenly the fire ceased unlike normal and I glanced up. Arms spread out to protect me from their ambush. The fire continued on for a few more seconds before they stopped. 'Get out of the way kid' the girl shouted and I immediatly bolted from the area and ran behind a great big oak tree. I saw her get attacked by fists and I saw her knock some people on their butts. I had never seen anyone do that to them.

Feeling her cold glare again, I gulped. She strode over to where I hid behind the oak and held out her hand. 'Name's Sam' she said. I grabbed it and shook it. 'Jojoe' I said. Her expression softened a bit. ' So Jojoe' she said. ' I'll make sure the don't mess with you again as long as I'm around.' I smiled at this. 'But you now have to be my bestfriend for life' she said smirking. 'Deal' I said returning the smirk. 'Sam' her mother called. 'Would you and your new friend care to have a snack?'  'Ya mom' she called pulling me along.

I felt more tears trickle down my face when I heard the left swing move. I slowly turned my head to see Sam sitting there smiling. "I told you it wasn't our goodbye yet" she said with a softened look. My mouth dropped at the sight of her sitting there like nothing was wrong. " Your dead thou" I said confused. She gave me that cold glare I've known since we were kids and she flicked me in the forehead. "Being dead means nothing" she said slightly mad. " I can still make certain limbs solid geez. I also told you about ghost to human contact but who didnt believe?"

I checked my phone. Midnight. I glanced back at her. She was beginning to fade like the midnight breeze that slowly disappeared into the dark air. "Til next time Jojoe" she said from I dont know where. I quickly ran home to write this all down.
