Chapter 13

LORRAINE

I snapped awake when I heard a loud screech of tires. You know, like the one when you step on the brakes real hard.

Something wrong must have happened.

I stood up, realizing that I have fallen asleep by the security desk at the entrance of the club I'm in. I felt so lightheaded and hungover.

I struggled standing up. I blinked my eyes several times and stretched my arms to my sides, yawning. I turned to the man in the security desk. He was talking to someone in his walkie-talkie.

"Excuse me sir, what's happening outside?"I asked. The man ignored me and continued talking in his walkie-talkie. I frowned.

"Hello?! Sir?! I'm asking you! What's happening outside?!"I angrily yelled. It's like he didn't notice me or hear me. He didn't answer and continued talking in his walkie-talkie.

"Fine! Then don't answer!"I exclaimed. The man didn't seem to care. He didn't even look at me.

I walked to the door with my head held high. I walked in such high fashion.

Hey! Even fat ladies can do that!

It was pure chaos outside. Australians and tourists gathered around something, murmuring amongst themselves. I ran to see what was going on, but I can't get any clear view of what was the scene all about.

"What's going on?"I asked a tourist. She ignored me amd kept chatting with amother tourist. I kept asking but all of them ignored me.

"Hey, what's going on?!"I yelled. An australian woman turned to me and pointed at me. "Shut up you crazy fool! You have no right to speak! I'm shutting you out!"

EXCUSE ME?!

"Who gives you the right to talk to me like that?!"I yelled.

"Okay! Shut me out! I don't care!"I continued. The woman prepared to slap me.

But instead her hand passed though me--literally--and hit someone else.

Wait...passed through me?!

"I'm sorry Isa! I promise, I didn't love her!"A man behind me said. I turned. She wasn't talking to me.

"I won't forgive you! You cheated on me!"

She was talking to the man behind me.

And her hand passed through me.

I walked toward her. I just passed through her body. I am confused. I walked past everyone--literally-to the center of the scene.

I gasped for air. I took a step back. My hand covered me mouth as I prepared to scream.

There lay me, a pool of blood around me. My limbs were in odd angles. I was covered in blood!

There could only be one conclusion to this. Either I'm dead or I'm passed out.

I'd rather choose passed out.
