Buried Secrets

Chapter 8: The Truth

Hannah's P.O.V

"Come on! Don't be such a coward!" I heard Ashlie yelling at who she thought was me from the other side of the trees. What they didn't know is tonight, the night I finally get revenge on them, will be the worst night they will ever think of. As for Aubrey, her worst night also.

I had told Aubrey, who looks like me with the same hair, about the same weight, and height, to jump off the water tower, into the frozen pond. At the same time I also, jump into the pond and I come out while she goes into the trees where Caitlin was waiting for her with towels.

"I can't do it, Ashlie. I just can't." Aubrey said to Ashlie.

"Fine. The come down. You're just not in the group." Ashlie said rudely to Aubrey.

Gosh, Aubrey, what are you doing? I stood watching her with my arms crossed.

I heard a scream. As did Allison and Ashlie. I looked, and so did they, she was gone off the ladder.

I watched them pull Aubrey over and then bury her. How they didn't recognize it wasn't me, is beyond unexplainable.

Allison's P.O.V

I watched the door, and waited to see Ashlie barge through. I had been waiting for about a long, boring 20 minutes for her. Where could she possibly be?

"Allison!" Ashlie said opening and running towards my bed.

"Oh my Gosh, Allison." She said grabbing my hand.

Soon, followed by Ashlie was Lukas.

"I'm sorry I interrupted your date." I said.

"No no no. It's fine. We were just finishing. How long have you been here?!" Ashlie said squeezing my hand.

"Since about 9 this morning." I said coughing.

"Why didn't you call me sooner?" she asked.

"I couldn't. They restricted me to my bed and I basically fought them just to get a phone call." I answered.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay now." Ashlie said smiling.

Courtney's P.O.V

"Hey Lukey." I said to Lukas walking towards him.

"Courtney, what are you doing here?" He asked rudely.

"I just have a question. One little question. That's all, Lukey." I said stopping in front of him.

"What." He snapped.

"Has she told you anything?" I asked.

He shoved past me and out the door. I turned back around to him and rolled my eyes. I continued back to where I had came from. I peeked through the window of Allison's room. I saw Ashlie sitting on the edge of her bed with her hand in hers. I walked to the next room, Lisa, Allison's mom. I looked through that window. I looked at the heart monitor to see it going very low.

I smiled and walked out of the hospital.

Aubrey's P.O.V

I knew Hannah would be mad at me for not jumping.

I have my own fears you know.

I turned, I had to run. They couldn't see who I was.

I started down the ladder. When I stepped about two steps down, I felt a light push onto my shoulder.

How did I not see someone? Well because I was focused on the steps so my head was down.

I fell more and more, screaming for life like it would help me live.

I thought I was dead and so did you. No, wait. You thought Hannah was dead. Well, no. I'm dead not her.

When I fell I didn't die. I was paralyzed. What killed me was being buried alive.

I opened my eyes but only for something to fall inside them so I quickly shut them. I tried screaming, but my mouth just filled too. I frantically tried digging up, but it was useless. Before I knew it, I actually was dead.
