Being A Teen Isn't Living A Dream

Graveyard

          Gavin had ran over to his girlfriend to get her to stop. Isla saw his face and immediately stopped fighting. She didn't want her favorite person to be mad or disappointed at her. She hated how he had been disappointed at her before. The guys finally let go and left. Ace was taking care of Ivy because she was fucked up. After the ambulance came and picked up the bullies and Ivy, Isla was more calm. Isla didn't want to be calm, she wanted to beat them more, but the adrenaline rush had worn off and she was exhausted. Even though she was exhausted, when they let go she ran. She ran faster then she ever had before. This time Gavin went after her. He had never ran this fast either. Now he had the adrenaline rush. Izzy didn't stop running though. Izzy ran over 10 miles and so did Gavin.

          Isla didn't go to her usual spot, no. She went to the cemetery. Gavin had slowed down awhile back because he couldn't run any longer. Gavin knew where she was heading despite only going there once. Last time he was there was for Damiens funeral.

I'm writing this in a cemetery only because my sisters dog died last night. May Marley/ Doodle rest in peace. That's where I got the idea from.

          Damien was buried in not only a graveyard where humans were buried, but where animals were too. Damien was buried next to Izzy's childhood dog Marley. Marley was a golden doodle and was hit by a car on the highway. Isla hadn't been here in years. She couldn't bear the thought of going because it reminded her of her dad. She went here this time to talk to her dad. Last time she was here she did the same thing. But back then, she was 10. It had been 6 years. She sat on top of where he was buried. She told him everything. She just sat there and finally said everything to someone. Isla had paranormal experiences before tonight. She was at a old house and had seen a little girl go into the back yard. She ran after the little girl and they talked for awhile. The little girls name was Lily. Lily had said "Time to go back to daddy now." So that what they did. They walked back to Damien and Isla was holding her hand.

          By the time she got to her dad, she looked over to see Lily not there. It had rained that day so there was mud everywhere. Isla may had only been 5, but wasn't stupid. She looked around for Lily, and saw that there was no footprints along side her. She knew she wasn't hallucinating. She had heard of ghosts and believed in them from an even younger age. Damien saw her and she looked like she was holding someone's hand, except there was no one there. Lily had already "disappeared" but Isla didnt move her hand at all. She saw her dad and he looked confused. Isla decided to keep all of this a secret. Isla hadn't saw Lily since she was 6. Lily really liked her dad, but since he died, Isla went back to that old house, but she couldn't find Lily. Isla was talking to her dad's grave when all of a sudden she felt a hand on her shoulder. She huffed because she thought it was Gavin. She said go away, but the hand was still there. Then she felt another hand on her other shoulder. This time, it was a much bigger hand. She recognized the touch. She turned to see Lily & her dad. They were ghosts of course.

          Isla felt like she was gonna be sick. But before she could say anything, Damien hugged her. She hugged back though she could feel him as she hugged him. The weird thing about ghosts for her was they could touch her, but she couldn't touch them. Whenever she tried to grab Lily hand, her hand went right through her. Lily always had to grab her hand first. Isla couldn't hug him back, but for the first time in ten years she saw her dad. She felt her dad, & eventually she heard her dad. "Isla, I'm sorry that I died. I'm sorry I couldn't be here for you when you needed me the most. I have watched you and wanted to be able for you to see me, but you couldn't l. Everyday I said to you that I'm so proud. You could never hear it though. But now hear this, I only have 30 seconds till I have to go. Isla, my sweet daughter. You have made me the proudest father. I know you aren't proud of yourself but I am. I still got to watch you grow and see the beautiful young woman you're becoming. Isla, I'm so proud of you & I love you." After that he hugged her. But not long after he faded away. Lily on the other hand was still there.

          Lily was always there. Lily was there with Izzy the first day she went to that house. Lily hadn't changed one bit since Isla was 6. Isla never knew how Lily died because when she asked he changed the subject. Finally, Lily said, "Isla, you're ready to know how I died. I'm your sister. Your dad had a kid at 13 and I passed away at 7 before you were born. You wondered why I was so close to your dad. Well, he's my dad too. I never went to see see him because, well. His daughter had died and I knew he couldn't take it seeing me."
