I dust off my hands once I finish picking up the glass and door pieces.
I throw it into the trash and take a long sigh. I glance over with my head facing up.
The girl sits there on my bed...legs crossed. Her head bowed down. She's been acting weird.
"Hey....you ok?"
She looks up. Her eyes follow me as I go over and sit next to her. "You can talk to me you know."
Nothing. I sigh. "Well...just know I won't tell anyone of you. I wouldn't want that." Nothing.
I get up and continue to clean. Though the silence makes things kind of weird. The company is alright. I throw out the garage and come back up. She still sits there. She doesn't leave until she knows I am alright. Or at least asleep or not alone. I have been having sleeping problems lately. I face plant into my pillow and groan. Sinking my face in more.
The girl stands. She slowly goes over and stares into a picture of me and Marin.
"That was my closest friend Marin. S-She committed suicide 3 years ago. I really freaking miss her."
"HELLO DIP SHI- WHAT THE?!?" Lily busts the new door down and freaks out when she sees the girl.
"Relax." I say raising an eyebrow.
"RELAX?!?"
"Lily. Sit down." The girl stands there still looking at the picture. A moment later she goes through my book shelf. Scanning the books slowly.
I explain to Lily how we met.
"So...she just is protecting you?"
"I am not exactly sure. But for the most part she hasn't ripped out any of my organs."
Lily chuckles. "Does she ever talk?"
"She spoke once. To clam me down. But what interests me is...she knows my name. I didn't say it aloud. I mean...you could of but...ugh. I dont know. Whenever she DOES speak. She's...just...I don't know. She reminds me of Marin." This saddens Lily.
"I miss her."
I smile sadly. We both watch the girl as she watches the tv. She is very interested in the shows. She doesn't use the remote. She has used it once. But...broke it.
"Bella. Do you think she could actually be Marin?"
"I have thoughts on that. But I guess it's something we should ask her."
I stand up Lily following by me. The girl stands in front of the tv. It buzzes until it turns off.
"C-Could we speak to you?"
She doesn't answer. Lily looks at me like we are crazy as fuck and that we are going to die if we speak again.
Ok.
"It's ok she won-"
The girl jerks over in front of Lily. Lily shakes as the girl stares into her eyes.
"She's my friend. She wouldn't hurt me."
"Well.."
"NOT REALLY HELPIN HERE!"
It's been awhile since she has spoken.
"Lily...Lily Mary Fernendez." Lily takes a step back. She holds up her hand and chuckles. "H-How did you know my full name? I didn't say it ONCE today or any day in fact." The girl slowly smiles. "Who are you?!?"
..."Marin."
Our eyes widen and we take a step back. We slowly look at each other.
"Oh my god."
"M-Marin..?"
A moment later she turns around grabs the photo and disappears the photo dropping to the ground.
I pick it up. Many tears roll down my face. "I-It can't be. It just can't be."
