Chapter Two

(Grace's POV)

I woke up in a hospital bed with a killer pain in my right hip and shoulders. The last thing I remember was walking towards Riley's house... And then... I can't remember. Why am I here? I called for the nurse but for some reason the button wasn't working. So I got up, and walked out. I saw a nurse looking at paperwork and went up to her. But she completely ignored me. Rude! So, I went up to another nurse that was talking to a doctor it looked like. I stood there and waited to see if they noticed me... I didn't want to interrupt. But they just kept on talking about a patient that needed to be sent to the coroner. I would hate to be a part of that family who just lost one of their own. I then saw Riley's mom in the waiting room. I went out to go see where Riley was. "Mrs. Davis, do you know where Riley is?"
She didn't answer... That was really odd. Am I invisible or something? Ohhhh! There's Riley! "Riley!" I yelled. She looked up. See after all, I'm not invisible. She saw me and then froze. I walked up to her and these words trembled out of her mouth, "You're alive."

"Well of course I'm alive! Silly goose!"

" N-n-no... But you were dead."

Then I froze. This was not happening. It was probably just a dream. But everything seemed so real. Riley looked confused and scared, but relived. Could I be the person getting sent down to the coroner?

"Why did you think I was dead?"

"Because my mom ran over you with her car, and you didn't have a pulse... But you look perfectly fine. Is this some sick dream? It's gotta be a dream!"

(Riley's POV)

Grace is standing right in front of me... She's supposed to be dead. She is dead. How is she... Oh my gosh.

I then realize that no one sees her...
But I can.

But this is just a dream!
But it feels so real.

Damn! This can not be happening right now! Is this a dream? Is Grace a ghost? Am I the only one that can see her? Is this really happening?
