No matter how you think of it.....it's weird isn't it?

I paced myself around my room, questioning each of my thoughts one after the other.

Jamie hasn't called for a whole week...it's not weird if I call her...right?

I reach for the phone very slowly, only to regret my desicion and pull back. I swear I feel like I'm in some sort of telanovela show. I've been like this for the past few days, & I swear this never happened to me before.

Why is it so hard to make a choice like this? Why am I putting so much drama into this? Why am I asking myself all these questions?

After a few moments of confusion I could hear a couple of foot steps coming up to my room and there stood Macey, a worried expression plastered on her face

"Hey Mike, are you okay? it feels like you're worried something"

I let out a sigh to my disappointment, of course she would notice, she's my sister after all
"Yeah well, it's about something pretty stupid"

"Aaand the stupid something is....?"
She raised her eyebrows & leaned in closer...Geez, I she isn't gonna believe any excuse I would sprout

"Don't worry it's not that big of a deal...really"

I flashed my signature smile to reassure her, and
the expression on her face seemed to soften

"Mike, I know you've been through a lot the past few months, and you know; what's your problem, is my problem."

At that moment I felt a strong sibling bond was between us....and that's why I can't tell 'er what was wrong, I mean. .a bro asking girl help from his sister... and besides it's not like we're going out, I'm just concerned for my friend
And I mean even if I did tell her, how would I explain this?!

'Oh yeah I'm stressed out cause my dead friend who was used for pizza and who now lives in the after life hasn't called my cell phone like she used to the passed month'
Yeah totally normal, she surely won't bring me to a mental hospital after I tell her that

But I love my sister. So I guess I'll just let her know someday

"If it's a big or small problem,  I'll be sure to let you know" I gave a quick nod to confirm my sentence

"Ok but just remember, I worry about you."she said as I was rewarded with a pat on the back.

"Yes yes, I got it mother."
I chuckled rolling my eyes in the process

Giggling, she hit me playfully in the shoulder.
"Alright, alright,  I'm going out for a while so, you can go wherever"

"I gots it"
I brought up both of my thumbs.

After a while, I heard the creaking of the door signaling the leave of Macey

"....Now..."
I dip my head down & glare at my phone...

"Back to the matter at hand...*sigh*"

I reach out for the device, regretting yet again, then just deciding to leave, and turn my back on it

*Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, RRRRRIIIAAANNGG*

THAT'S MY RING TONE FOR JAMIE!..though I still question why"

"Jamie? Hello? Hello?"

'Mike? Hey, I'm sorry I haven't been calling lately. '

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just glad you're okay"

Although I've had a few episodes, yea I'm l'm okay...I think

'Thx, I've got some great news!!'

"Really?"
Wow she sure  sounds excited

'Could you go to your front door?  don't open it, but unlock it'

"Alrighty then."
I say with uncertainty

....

"You're not gonna send a horror illusion to my house again are you?

'What noo.....maybe'

I followed her rules and went down, even if I had my doubts

"Ok, so what did you want to tell me? "

Suddenly the door swung open and I was astounded by what I saw

"Hiii Mike!!"

Ok I am officially crazy

"JAMIE?! YOU'RE ALIVE?!
