Buried Secrets

Chapter 10: My Idea of Normal

Allison's P.O.V

I don't know if I'm dreaming, I don't know if I'm even sleeping. I just know that I helped kill someone, Hannah or not.

*********

"Hey, Ash!" I said loudly so Ashlie could hear me.

I'm finally back in school. My injuries weren't as bad as my moms. She's still in the hospital and I'm, well, out obviously. Anyway, I was glad to be back in school. Things were getting a little back to normal. By normal, I mean going back to how they were before the accident. Not the whole Hannah situation.

"Hey, glad to see you back." Lukas said to me while walking by Ashlie's side.

"Thanks, me too." I said giggling.

We continued on then parted ways to get to our lockers.

Time for lunch.

Same old lunch everyday. I explained what lunch was like before so you know, I didn't hurry. Now I'm stuck in the back of the line.

I could see Caitlin in the distance. I haven't talked to her and I'm not going to. What she said to me could change everything, although I don't know if she's not lying.

All I know is that I can't wait until it's time for me to go bed, I'm so tired.

The rest of the day again, my idea of normal, rather than the struggle of getting from class to class with a boot on my foot. I'm suppose to use crutches, but I can walk just fine without them.

It's been a month now since that horrible night. Nothing has came up, the police are still looking for Hannah, and I'm still confused like I always have been.

***********

"DAD! I LOVE IT!" I yelled at the top of my lungs jumping into my dad hugging him.

In front of me was a maroon Chevy Cruze. I have been wanting this car for my 16th birthday.

"Happy Birthday Allison!" Ashlie said walking to my dad and I.

"Thank you! We're going to see my mom in the hospital. You want to come?" I asked her.

"Yeah sure. Open my present first." she said handing me a well wrapped box.

I tore open the paper.

"AHHHHH!" I actually started crying. In my hand was two front row tickets for Justin Bieber.

"One for me and one for you." Ashlie said pointing to them.

"Thank you both so much!!" I said grabbing Ashlie and my dad to hug them.

"When's the concert?" I said pulling away from the hug and looking at Ashlie.

"Tomorrow." she said like it wasn't a big deal.

"TOMORROW?!" I gasped.

"YES TOMORROW." She sarcastically gasped back at me.

I just smiled and laughed.

*********

My dreams tonight are like my dreams every night, becoming normal to me. I replayed the scene from that night over and over in my sleep.

While also in there was a little bit of dreaming about if I was the One Less Lonely Girl at the concert, yeah right.

I replayed the scream over and over again.

Like I had said before, Ashlie and I didn't really know Hannah, we didn't know her at all actually. We knew her name, and who she was not her type of person. Honestly, if Hannah is dead or alive, I don't care. I just care about who we buried, Hannah or not.

Hannah's P.O.V

I picked up my warm glass of tea and took a small sip of it. It was too hot to drink so I almost spit it out.

"Caitlin, what do you think will look better for the concert tonight? The blue jeans, or plain white ones?" I asked holding out two pairs of jeans.

"Blue." she said sure of herself.

I threw the white pair onto my bed and slipped on the blue pair.

"What shirt?" I asked Caitlin walking to my closet.

"This one." She said pulling out an old shirt which had Aubrey's signature on the back.

"That's perfect." I said grabbing it and smiling.

Allison's P.O.V

"Allison. Wake up."

I knew this. It wasn't a new voice.

"Hannah." I said sitting up.

"No." they said firmly.

"What?" I said very confused.

"It's Aubrey, sweetie." she said walking closer to me.

"Who's Aubrey?" I said to the ghost figure that looked like Hannah.

"I always was the girl no one knew about." she said taking my hand in hers, then vanishing.

I still don't know who Aubrey is.

Ashlie's P.O.V

"Remember me?" A familiar voice said.

"Of course I do, I said." back to them.

"I know who called you." they said suspiciously.

"How do you know? You're dead." I said frightened.

"I'm only dead because you killed me." they snapped back.

"Hannah, I didn't kill you!" I refused.

"But that's fun in this, Ashlie. I'm

not Hannah."

Then I awoken.
