Ghost Diaries

The beginning of an end

Wooo thanks for all the reads! FOLLOW ME please? Okay I don't really have much to say so we can just read now.

The weekend was finally here and my parents were having this big party with all their friends because my dad got some huge promotion or something. He worked in the marketing business he got promoted to vice president; unfortunately his job required a lot of traveling. Thankfully as far as I know this time we don't have to move. I wasn't too excited for the party because Ivy was coming and my parents think were like best friends. I don't know why they think that whenever they talk about her I usually gag and pretend I'm throwing up, maybe there just too old to catch on. Hopefully the whole night wont suck because I invited Dylan over too.

"Hey Gracie do you mind running to the store and picking up some paper plates and cups?" my dad asked.

"Sure dad I have nothing better to do" I slipped on my pink uggs and started walking to the store. I was about to walk in but an undignified prospect stopped me. I slowly walked towards the piece of paper pasted on the convenient store window. I tarred it off aggressively, as I could feel my emotions running up my stomach. "I can't believe it!" I shrieked "why would she do something so mean!" There I was standing in the middle of the side walk screaming my head off as I innocently starred at my worst nightmare. Ivy put the picture of me with green stuff drowning down my hair and face and a purple mortifying pencil case stuck to my hand up on a public place grocery store for the world to witness. I screamed so loud one of the workers came out. She looked about my age; she was tall and very fit with dark brown wavy hair and ocean blue eyes. I almost recognized her perfect complexion from somewhere.

"Is everything ok?" she asked tensely

"Yup I'm perfect, just perfect" I said irritably. She leaned closer looking at the paper I was holding.

"Hey you're that girl in science class that Ivy always torments" she said.

"Yup, that's me!" I sarcastically smiled.

"Man she's really mean to you isn't she?" She asked as she grabbed the piece of paper from my hand. "How does one manage to glue a pencil case to your hand?" she asked baffled. I laughed.

"I don't even know" She looked at me and joined in my laughter. "My names Rose" She said holding out her hand.

"Gracie" I responded shaking her hand.

"Just so you know, those pictures are all over town" she responded.

"Great!"

"If you want I get off of work in" she checked her watch "five minutes, if you like I could help you pick up the pictures." She said smiling cheerfully

"Really? You would do that, thanks!"

"No problem" after I got the paper cups and plates, and texted my parents I was going to be a little longer than planned Rose and I went off to collect the pictures of me. Once we were half way done I decided we should take a break because the party is going to be starting soon. "

"Hey rose my parents are having this like party and some of my friends from school are coming" and by that I meant Dylan. "If you're free you could come to" I said smiling

"Really I'd love to!" she jumped up and down. "You really are vivacious aren't you?" I laughed.

"Just a smidge" she responded.

******

Ding dong "I'll get it" I screamed. Rose and I jumped out of my bed and jogged down stairs I opened up my door and Dylan was standing there. He was wearing beige cackys with a red v lined t shirt, it was probably the most normal I've ever seen him dressed. "Hey you actually look like a normal teenage boy" I teased

"Why thank you" he replied.

"This is Rose I met her at the convenient store" I said turning to rose.

"Hey I'm Dylan" he said waving to Rose.

"So sadly Ivy is going to be coming soon, when that happens we should be prepared" we all joined in laughter at my snobbish comment. My mother came walking towards me.

"Hey kids" she said rubbing my back. "If you'd like you guys can go hang out in the basement and I'll send Ivy down when she gets here" she smiled.

"Ok! Sounds great mom thanks" I replied. As we all went back down stairs. I was so proud of myself at how far I came since Olivia's death I mean of course I still had my problems but I knew I was getting better and I knew Olivia would be so proud of me I couldn't wait to write to her tonight.

"So what do you guys want to do, we could play truth or dare?" I asked.

"Yes my favourite game!" Rose giggled as Dylan flashed me a smirk. We spent the rest of the night playing games and talking, Ivy ended up staying up stairs with the adults because apparently she was just to cool to talk to us. Honestly I was happy she went up stairs.

"Well looks like I got to go, I had a great time though see you at school tomorrow" Rosie grinned.

"Bye see ya" Dylan and I replied. "Well, she was bubbly" Dylan laughed.

"What's wrong with bubbly?" I asked standing up and tapping my foot. "Nothing, nothing at all" He said putting his hands up.

Later that night I was sitting at my desk writing in my diary. I was so eager to talk to Olivia and see how I've been doing with the list.

Dear Olivia,

Hey! So your list is really helping me, I'm way more respectful to my parents! And I met another friend! She's really nice her names Rose. Ivy is still being really mean and I don't know how to deal with it but Dylan is really helping so that's good. How is it in heaven? I wish you could be here with me so bad! You should of seen Ivy's face when Dylan poured her frozen yogurt on her, it was pretty funny! I am so happy I can talk to you, this is great! Also do you think I could tell Dylan about it I promise he won't tell anyone!

Love Gracie.

Dear Gracie,

You are doing great with your list I am so proud of you! Step 1 Respect your parents: Great job Gracie you have completed step one of the list! Step 3 Eat, Sleep and talk: I am so happy you completed this step your doing great! Step 5 friends: You have made two great friends congratulations. Ok Gracie you have completed three steps on your list you still have 7 more to complete, you can do it! Rose seems like a great friend, I am so happy you found her. Heaven is good thanks for asking, I'm not supposed to tell you too much about it but it's exactly what I imagined it to be there aren't really words I can use to describe it but the feeling you have when you're here is just so lively. I am happy you're so happy but pouring frozen yogurt on some ones head isn't standing up to bullies, you can't stoop down to ivy's level your better than that. Gracie I love you and you know that, but this diary isn't a game soon you won't be able to talk to me this is a privilege you have to cherish it ok? I don't trust Dylan just yet but I'll watch over him if I think his worthy enough you can tell him, on one condition you have to complete the list first. Anyways I have to go now.

Love Olivia xoxo

In a way that letter kind of put me down more than it boosted me up, but Olivia was right. Olivia was always right I couldn't get to full of myself. She gave me that list for a reason I had a job to do and I had to complete it.

Sooo what did you guys think? Do you guys likes rose? Think she's nice? Or way to bubbly?
