Keith had slowly fell into a numb state again. He stopped caring for the most part and when around jess he put on a happy face. Jess finally let Keith at least be friends but keith no longer cared if they were friends or not, when he saw her he thought that maybe, just maybe it had been Alice and she didn't die and everything had been a nightmare but no she's not Alice but she's something to take his mind off the pain.
"Yo keith let's go to my place for a while and chill. I have snacks and pop and we can watch whatever... Well if you want"
"Yeah sounds better then what we are doing now."
They left to Jessica's house and when they got there keith stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he got out of the car.
"Um hey jess...I can't go in there."
"Why?"
"....that's Alice's old house."
"Wait so you are telling me that i live in your dead friends house AND that I look exactly like her?"
"Yeah... Its pretty weird, but you are nothing like her. Complete opposite really"
"Keith you know you can't just avoid all the places you have memories with her. You need to go to those places and remember the good times you had but accept that she's not here anymore"
Keith shakes his head
"I can't"
Jess sighs and grabs Keith's arm and dragged him in the house.keith tensed up inside then asked
"Jess have you gone into the attic yet?"
"No why?"
"I need to show you something then."
Keith and jess walked upstairs and pulled down the ladder to the attic. Keith climbed up first and walked to a box that was there,knowing exactly what was in it. He grabbed the box and moved it close to the ladder then pulled the string to turn on a light.
"This box, this is memories. I'm actually surprised its still here..."
Keith opened the box showing jess every picture in it. He came across one of Alice by herself when she was about 13 and showed jess.
"Holy crap that looks just like me"
"Yeah, I told you. You look just like her...well before she died and was healthy."
