Chapter 3

*Kacey’s POV*

As much as I wanted to see Liam again, I knew I couldn’t. We all waited around to see if they came by again but they never did. It’s been 2 weeks and quite frankly, I need to see him again.

“Kace, are you okay? You haven’t touched your peas” mom said. I quickly snapped my head up.

“Sorry, I’m just not really that hungry” I muttered and stood up. “I think I’m gonna turn in early tonight”

“Are you alright? Are you sick?” dad asked. I shook my head and placed my plate on the counter. I went out of the kitchen and walked up to my room. I grabbed my phone and called Lillie.

“Kacey? What’s up? You never call me”

“I need to see Liam again” I had to be quiet, I knew my parents would come check on me. “I have to see him, there’s just something about him that’s different. I can’t explain it but it’s there” I whispered.

“Call Bella, she’ll know what to do” Lillie hung up and I felt dizzy.

“Bella! Meet me at the gate, we’re going on an adventure” I smirked, even though no one could see me. I hung up and started climbing out my window. I was lucky enough to have a cherry tree right outside my window. I climbed down and slowly made my way down the street. As soon as the gate was in sight I saw the lights. Not good lights either.

“Kacey!” I heard a voice yell. I turned and saw Niall, one of Liam’s friends. I ran over to him.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked, I don’t know what was happening but I was scared.

“It’s Lillie, she was here, at the gate. She was waiting for someone, maybe you or Bella. Someone climbed over the gate and..” he choked up. “She’s dead!” Niall cried. My eyes shot over to the ambulance. They were loading a body into the back.

“No, no. This is all a dream! This can’t be happening!” I cried. Niall pulled me into his arms as we both cried. “She can’t be gone! No!” I sobbed into his chest.

“This is all your fault” I looked up and saw my dad standing there. When did he get there? “You’re the reason Sadie’s dead!” he yelled. Sadie? What?

I shot up. I looked around my room. What a weird dream. I got up and walked into my closet. I was looking for some yoga pants when a picture fell from the top shelf. I looked at the picture and saw me and a little girl. I flipped the picture around and there was writing on the back. ‘Kacey (9) and Sadie (2) Wellstone Park’. I tried thinking back to that year. I remember vaguely of what was happening. I ran out of my room and down to my the kitchen.

“Who’s Sadie?” I asked when I found my parents. They looked at each other and my mother spoke up.

“She was your little sister. You and Sadie were like best friends. Wherever you went, Sadie went and vice versa. That all changed when we went to Wellstone Park. You and Sadie went to the beach with your friend, Rebecca. You and Rebecca were playing in the sand and Sadie wanted to play too. You didn’t want her too, though. You and Rebecca decided to go swimming. Sadie wasn’t allowed to go in the water without me or your father there. She wanted to spend time with you so she followed you” her voice cracked as she tried to continue. “She, she went out a little too far and” tears were streaming down from her eyes.

“She went out to far and couldn’t stay up. She never came back. You were never the same after that. You would black out when things got too intense and we got worried. We took you to the doctor and they said you were traumatized by Sadie’s death” dad finished.

“Was it my fault?” I looked down and looked back up.

“What? Honey, no! It wasn’t your fault. You were just a child!” my dad wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my back. “What brought all this up, anyways?” he asked. I sat down and told him about my dream. And about the picture.

“Oh honey, no. It was not your fault. Don’t ever blame yourself for this” my mom comforted. It felt nice having this heart-to-heart with them.

“I love you guys” I smiled and hugged them both.

“We love you too, Kacey. Even if we don’t always show it, we love you” daddy said. He kissed my head and patted my shoulder. “Go get some rest”

“Goodnight daddy” I smiled and went upstairs. I grabbed my phone and saw many messages from Bella and Lillie.

To: Kacey

From: Bella

What happened? We were waiting for you by the gate and you didn’t show

To: Kacey

From: Lillie

Were waiting!

I quickly sent them both a text.

To: Bella, Lillie

From: Kacey

I wasn’t feel good and fell asleep... Still wanna meet up???

I waited for a reply. They both decided that now was the perfect time for an adventure. I threw on my leggings and a black leather jacket over my black t-shirt. I put on my black combat boots and climbed out my window. I climbed down the cherry tree and made a dash across the lawn. I jogged to the gate. I got there and waited for a few minutes until I saw Lillie and Bella coming. I ran and hugged Lillie as if it were the last time I’d ever see her.

“What’s gotten into you?” Lillie laughed.

“I had a dream.. Where you died, so... I’m just happy you’re alive” I sighed and let go of her.

“Okay well let’s go, I’m tired of waiting to see Niall again”

“Where are you guys going? It’s past curfew” Bailey showed up outside her door. She walked down to us.

“We’re going to Cambridge” Bella smiled. I could tell she was thinking of Zayn.

“Ooh, can I come?” Bailey was intrigued by the idea of sneaking out. We all nodded and walked closer to the gate. We all made it over safely and started walking.

“Where are we?”

“Cambridge?” we all spun around. We looked around trying to find who it was who was talking. “The name’s Trevor. Why are you all out so late at night? You know it’s not safe here” Trevor smirked at us. You could see many tattoos and piercings in the moonlight. He started walking toward us and he circled us multiple times. “You’re pretty, what do they call you?” he asked as he traced lines on Bella’s arm.

“Get away from us” Bella seethed.

“Mmm, feisty. I like it” Trevor was getting creepier by the second.

“Step away from the girl, Trevor” everyone’s heads snapped to the direction of the voice. Zayn.

“Zayn!” Bella called. Zayn jogged over to her and grabbed her hand.

“Hey, Bells” Zayn smiled and pulled her close. “You can leave now, Trevor, you’re not wanted here”

“Is there a problem, Zayn?” it was Louis.

“Nah, I got rid of him” Zayn smiled.

“Ah, it’s our ‘friends’” Louis smirked. “It’s nice to see you all again, especially you, Miss. Bailey” he took her hand and kissed it. Harry, Liam and Niall came by shortly after. We were in for a long night
