Chapter 11

LEA

I was having a lot of trouble figuring out where to start, but I settled on just letting the entire truth come out. I mean, if telling Trevor about how I died was going to make me one step closer into moving on to a better place, then I'm happy to be of service, no matter how crazy my story sounded.

I started with my experience at the party and skipped the depressing back story about my emotional struggle. That was another story for another time and my death was already unbelievable on its own. We wouldn't want to overwhelm the poor fellow now, would we?

As I went on in detail about the party, I couldn't help but notice Trevor's facial expressions. He really was listening to what I had to say, which is something that I was extremely grateful for and something I didn't get much of in my past life. He also didn't interrupt me with a mouthful of questions, which also made me relieved, mostly because I didn't have any answers to give him.

When I got to the part about me catching Jared red-handed with another girl, Trevor's reaction surprised me. I noticed that his hands left mine and they were now in fists, straight at his sides. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought his head was going to explode. He stood up from his bed and stalked to the other side of the room to calm himself down. He was facing the wall, so I didn't get a good look at him, but I could tell he was livid. I think I could make out him mumbling "how dare Lexi's brother do something like that..." under his breath, along with some other curse words.

That familiar name brought back bitter memories. Jared's twin sister, Lexi, has been missing for a year now and people don't even know that she actually isn't alive. I know that feeling...

I also had totally forgotten that Trevor even knew Jared, let alone his sister, Lexi and now that I think about it, his reaction did seem more appropriate. I wonder how close Lexi and him were. He must have known her from helping her spirit cross over. I'm going to have to remember to ask him about that later.

"Sorry," Trevor grumbled, stalking back over to take a seat beside me on his bed. "That guy is a total bastard and you remember that."

Oh, if only he knew who the real 'bastard' was in my situation. If this is how he reacts to Jared, wait until he hears about Cane. There is sure going to be a lot of broken furniture around here...

"His sister, Lexi, was nothing like that. She was kind and really sweet." He added, putting his hand back on top of mine and letting the comfortable warmth return to my body. I could really get used to this.

"Oh I know. We used to hang out a lot before... you know... and well, she's just one of those people who can get along with anybody. Other than my best friend Melissa, Lexi was one of the few people in this world who actually got me, you know? Not that Melissa actually got me... she just thought she did. Anyways, Lexi just understood what I was going through and never tried to push me into anything I wasn't ready for. She was just so easy to be around. Now that I think about it, we used to hangout so much that people thought we were actually related. We looked a lot alike, same brown hair, approximate height and completion. The only difference was a few facial features and our eye colour. She had the brightest blue eyes! Her brother's were identical to hers... not that it matters too much. They look dull to me now..."

I trailed off, not realizing that I zoned out again. I shook my head and glanced over at Trevor. He had the same faraway look that I had only moments before and a blush was slowly creeping its way onto his cheeks.

"What are you thinking?" I questioned, feeling the corners of my mouth rise up into an amused smirk. He only shook his head, telling me it was nothing to worry about and that he was just "thinking".
