4:30 pm I sit in my room thinking about Jason. My phone starts going it's Alice .

"Hi Alice what's up ?" I ask
" my mum and I are arguing can I come to yours for a bit " Alice asks
"Yes sure are you okay ?" I ask her
" I will be I'll be 20 minutes " she's says before I get a chance to say bye she's disconnected

In the twenty minutes before she's turns up I order a pizza , put a film on and change the bandages on my foot when the door goes . I go down stairs and open the door Alice is there with her bag of stuff .
"Hey I've ordered a pizza and put clueless on in my room come up " I say as she walks in she looks around the hall and up that stairs she's clearly not paying any attention
"Alice dude " I say she snaps around
"It's freezing in here " she's says staring at me
"Aw sorry but yeah come up stairs " I say walking up the stairs . She walks be hide me then stops on the stairs
"Dude what the fucks wrong with you " I say
" it feels sad " she says
"What does " I ask
" this house " she says I feel scared now
I walk into my room and Alice follows we keep watching clueless she comes in and sits and watches it with me .

After the pizza came I decided to ask what had happened with her mum .
"So Alice  what happened with your mum?"
"She's crazy " Alice  said
"How come " I asked
" well she's a physic she can see and speak to ghosts and she hates me coming here because .. Well for the past few days she keeps saying that ambers been following me about she said that she's being screaming and it's creeping me out " Alice  said I took a moment before I could say something she spoke up again .

" now I think I've got her gift I've started to hear things whispers and it's freaking me out I can hear Amber too she's angry at me " she said . Im trying not to freak out at what she's saying . Like I mean the crazy spirt of a girl is now following her around . Great .

"Why would she be angry ?" I ask
" look it's none of my business but I didn't stop it and I feel guilty " she said

"What didn't you stop , why do you feel guilty ?"

" it all started when I was small Amber was the head of our little group Amber and Heather has been best friends since they were five and a year ago Amber and Heather were in the woods be hide this house and they saw heathers dad kissing another woman , Heather was really upset about it and didn't tell her mum because she didn't want to break up her family , but Amber felt guilty as she had known heathers mum for years so Amber told her what happened and heathers mum through her dad out of the house and Heather came here and attacked Amber . Amber didn't come into school for days her dad was gone and her mum was out on the town drinking and Amber hung herself . She never left a note but I feel guilty because I didn't stop Heather and I didn't help Amber now she's dead " Alice said
