After Life (BOOK 2)

Chapter 1

I'm yelling, but nobody can hear me. I have Felicia close beside me. I don't know where I am, or where Kaytie is. What was she telling me yesterday,

"Rose, I talked to Ben!" She was saying, "I made contact with him,"

I couldn't believe this. Maybe I could make it back to my Nathan. I really hope he is holding it together. I whisper to myself, "hold on to me Nathan, don't let me memories disappear,"

"Don't forget about me," Rose was telling me. "How could I, you're everything to me!" I woke up with beads of sweat running down my face. I blinked a couple of times to get used to the light pouring into my window. I looked over at my clock,

7:29

I groaned, I was planning on not doing anything today, but Ben arranged for us to go see their graves. And that kills me. I can't go to Roses grave, but I have to get over her and this is the only way I can.  I jumped out of my warm bed and changed into a white shirt, and some blue jeans. I put on a 'lucky' bracket.

The bracelet was Roses. It was light mint green with white dots over it. I thought that this would keep her close, and believe me it has. I ran downstairs to find Tyler on the couch. I walked over to the back of the couch and pushed it up. He tumbled to the ground.

He jumped as quickly as he fell to the ground,

"What was that for!" He yelled at me. Tyler became typical Tyler when Felicia died. He became mean, selfish, and violent.

"Wake up," I said, "we are leaving for the cemetery in 20 minutes!"

"You know you could have just said that!" He yelled to me as I walked away. I heard him run upstairs to his room to get ready. Tyler loves going to see Felicia's graves, this is his "bracelet," it makes him feel like she is still close to him.

20 minutes passed and finally I heard knock on the door. He walked right in, but that's okay. Ben was a friend, not an enemy.

"Hey," he said walking into the kitchen, "how is Tyler holding up today?"

"He is actually doing really well,"

"Good, good," he said looking over at me, "and how are you doing?"

"I'm dying Ben," I said in a whisper, "I keep having dreams about her, like she is trying to reach me, but somebody keeps pulling her away,"

"Well hopefully the cemetery has some answers," Ben said giving me a small smile. Tyler came down the stairs,

"Are you guys ready," he asked

"Yep," I said quickly, "lets just go,"

He walked outside to the car. We drove for about 30 minutes and arrived at the cemetery, Winechester Cemetery. He got out of the car and made our way up the hill to were they were buried. We stood in front of each girls graves.

"Okay," Ben said, "do each have an items that they wore?" I took of the bracelet, Tyler took out the becklace Felicia always wore, and Ben took out Kaytie's ring. "Okay good," Ben said, "now put them at the top of the graves," we did as he instructed and placed them on top.

"Okay now back up," Ben said not even looking at us. "Are they ready to do this?" Ben asked looking to the side of him. Who was he talking to? Maybe he is going insane and I'm acting complete normal! Ben shock his head and looked back at the graves. "Now I want all of you to saw the name of the one you care for,"

"Nathan you go first, then Tyler, and lastly me," Ben said. Okay come on Nathan just say her name, her full name.

"Rose Wilsburg," I tear came out of my eye. I quickly brushed it away. Tyler's turn, "Felicia Ph-Philmore," and lastly Ben, "Kaytie Gilwash," I ask you to leave where you are and come back to us!" Just then a huge flash came, it blinked 3 times and everything went quiet.

"Seriously," Tyler said breaking the silence, "that's what the plan was!? Are you kidding me!" Tyler made his way over to Ben but stopped instantly. He whispered to me, "Nathan get your butt up her!" I walked over to him. I looked down the hill and there they were. Sitting there in all there glory.

"Rose?"
