Whisper

In a perfect life

In a perfect life I would have my family, my mother would be alive my ,father would want me and I wouldn't have this 'gift'.But life not perfect it hard and painful so I have heard but so far haven't experienced life much so I only know the happiness and boredom. There is many mysteries in life and some will forever remain unsolved, but not all of them.

"Papa are you awake" I called out descending the staircase. I heard nothing a peaked into his room, empty.

I went to kitchen seeing a paper clipped to the fridge.

Went out hunting see you when you get back. Have a good day be good love you butternut.

I smiled and took a muffin off the table, i grabbed my bag off the floor and walked out locking the door. Outside my best friend waited in his yellow jeep, I smiled again and walked into the passenger seat.

"You look good" Justin said smiling at me.

"Am I suppose to look ugly"

"No I mean you look better much better since-"

"Amber's death, it fine I've accepted it and we both know she watching over us"

He nodded "Watching but only one can actually hear and answer back"

I hit him playfully, Justin is one of my only friends that know of my 'gift' and he constantly teasing me on it.

Justin is a blonde with dark roots he tall around 6 feet and really strong and lean being the captain of our varsity rugby team. I known since I was two and that the only reason he knows about my gift because he was always with me.

He nudged me back with a smile and we pulled in the parking lot of the school. We opened the door at the same time and with are arms around each other we walked inside, immediately eyes where own us and a slight blush rose. I hated attention so being best friends with captain of our rugby team and dating our highschool play boy who also is the football captain, it get me a lot of it.

I smiled when I saw my boyfriend leaned against my locker, I walked up and his arms opened pulling me in a warm embrace.

You know I still hate him right.

Amber voice called she appeared right behind him disapproval written on her face.

I gave her the 'I don't care' look and she sighed.

Amber my best friend since elementary, she the most fashionable,judgemental, and pushy person I've ever known but is still love her. She 3 mouths ago of a unknown causes. It was to early for her we where just starting senior year and her death came out of know where. I can usefully tell when people are gonna die,there this gray reflected in there but Amber was always full of life it wasn't fair. She was the prettiest girl in school with natural red hair and hazel eyes she wasn't really that tall but she attracted a lot of attention.

It hurts me that she doesn't approve of Jack but what can I do.

We walked along the hallway chatting about random stuff and this party that was being thrown tomorrow. With a big smile I looked over to girl she had faded brown hair and hollow green eyes, this showed suicide no not on my watch.

I walked out the group and tapped the girl shoulder with a smile, She jumped and seemed surprised.

"What your name" I asked sweetly

"Nora" she answers not making eye contact.

"Hi Nora I'm Faith I know this is a little odd but can we talk after school"

Her eyes widened "Why?"

"It looks like you need a friend"

She gave me a small smile "Sure"

"Ok so meet me on the front steps of the school, we can go to the Cafe or park anywhere you want"

She nodded and I smiled again the bell rang and I waved bye at her, before running to catch up with the guys.

All my classes where advanced and so far we hadn't gotten to anything difficult, so the day passed rather quickly. Lunch bell rung and instead of sitting with the boys I looked for Nora.

I found her and rushed to her side, I sat with her and asked her a lot of questions. She answered all of them quietly and I nodded telling her about myself a little.

I learned she played the piano, she an only child her favorite color is blue her mother recently died. I told her how my best friend also died and she smiled full of empathy.

"Faith" someone on the other side of the room called out. I looked and saw my boyfriend.

"I'll be right back"

Getting out the seat everybody eyes on I suddenly felt in trouble.

"Yes" I answered.

"What are you doing with that girl"

I don't know why but I suddenly got angry, and made a face.

"That girl has a name and I talking is there a problem with that" I said and the guys behind him made 'O' sounds. It fine they never really heard me talk.

"What matter why acting like this"

"Acting like what Jack your the one with a face Just because I talking to someone you don't know."

His eyes widened and this interested me in a bad way. "Is there something I should know" I asked. I looked to the boys who all had worried faces, there definitely keeping something.

It took a minute for him to answer "No...sorry babe it just I really missed you and now your finally back and spending your time with someone else. Just kind of made me upset"

He lieing

I pretended to understand no I'm not going to pretend to do anything not anymore. I glared "Your half lieing"

"What are you keeping from me"

He gulped and I saw sweet slowly coating his forehead. My eyes widened, and I turned before I figured anything out I don't want to. I sat back down with Nora and wiped a tear trying to muster a smile. It was a sad attempt and out of nowhere she hugged me.

In a perfect life I wouldn't ever cry or feel sadness, in a perfect life my friend will still be alive. In that life i could always trust my boyfriend my life isn't perfect no matter how much I wish it was.
