Hi! My Name's...

Hi! My Name's Ethan! Part 2

After everyone stopped by to see me we all head out to the grave yard. I never expected so many graves. As far as I know I don't know anybody buried here. As we pass by the graves I could see people standing either beside or on their grave. The car came to stop then the back is opened up. I watch as I see my friends reach for my casket. Their hands touch the bars and they pull it out. Everybody from the funeral home was standing around in a circle. My casket is taken over to a hole dug in the ground.

I see my family drive up and once they walk up to the grave, everybody parts for them. Once they sit down the priest man talks. He says a couple passages from the bible. As these words are being said I walk to Britten and look in his eyes. His eyes hide every emotion he's feeling right now. He's hurting and I can tell. He's hurting, crying internally and much more.

"Hey, hey. Britten. Dance party bro?" I ask but of course I get no answer.

I start dancing not even caring. I just dance around in a circle hoping someone will join although I know nobody will. People are crying once again while I'm just over here trying to dance with them all. Yeah I know they can't hear or see me but I at least wanna try.

"Guys come on! Dance party! Guys! Join me!" I laugh starting to go up to people to get them to dance with me. "I'm right here everyone. Can't you see me? Of course not."

Kyle and Adam walk up to me and tell me to stop, buzz kills. I take the hint and just stand there with my hands behind my back. Suddenly the blue casket is being lowered into the ground. I know what it means and why they're doing it but for some reason I immediately start to freak out.

"Wait what are you guys doing?! Don't put my body down there!" I yell running to them trying to attack them.

"Ethan stop! They have to!" Kyle spats trying to hold me back.

"I know but if they put my body in there then I won't be able to go see my friends!" I snap in his face.

"That's kind of the point Ethan! You're supposed to stay in the ground!" Adam yells also trying to hold me back.

"But I don't want to stay in there! I wanna be able to go home and see my family and other people! I want to put smiles on people's faces not have people frown because I'm dead and they won't see me! We have to stop them!" I scream while tears start to pour down.

"I don't want to be dead Kyle! I want to be alive and breathing and walking and everything else I used to do when I was alive!"

"Do you think us two don't want that as well?! We don't want to be dead but we are! That fucking car messed the fuck up and fucking killed us! None of us want to be fucking dead! WE WANT TO BE ALIVE! WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE AND NOT FUCKING DEAD DAMN IT! DON'T PUT YOURSELF BEFORE US!" That was when I knew I had gone too far. Kyle never snaps like that unless he's pushed. I know I should stop but I'm stubborn

"I'm not putting myself before you two! Don't you think I know I'm not the only one that wants to be alive?! I FUCKING KNOW THAT WE ALL WANT TO BE ALIVE BUT IF THEY PUT MY BODY IN THE GROUND THEN I WON'T BE ABLE TO COME BACK BECAUSE THAT'S NOT FUCKING ME IN THAT GOD DAMN CASKET! I KNOW IT'S YOU IN THE CASKET KYLE! I SAW YOUR DEAD BODY IN THE CAR!"

Kyle is shocked by this because he didn't know that I was still alive after the crash. "YOU TWO ARE FUCKING DEAD BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S ME IN THERE! IN THAT BOX BEING PUT IN THE GROUND!" I look back at the casket then back at Kyle. "And now because we were arguing and shit, I was too late and the casket is in the ground now."

I walk away from Kyle to calm down. I walk past people at their graves. Many people just watch me as I walk with my head down and tears on my cheeks. The tears wouldn't stop so I just them fall. Tears were hard to stop right now especially because everyone was crying over the fact that me and my two friends were dead. They were crying and I upset myself while arguing with Kyle. I know that we're dead and that we all want so desperately to be alive. I know that. I'm not stupid or oblivious. I just don't want to accept it yet.

But now I just want to say hi! My name's Ethan! I'm 17 years old and I'm dead. I died in a car accident on February 14, 2016 with my two best friends Kyle and Adam. This is now the beginning of my story, so if you see me don't be scared to say hello.

The end of Ethan.
