-Kelly's pov-
It was almost midnight when I heard the sirens going off. It sounded like they were coming from Toby's house, with fear in my heart I ran outside bare foot towards his home praying nothing was wrong. He only lived two blocks away so it wasn't a far run. But when I got there I was greeted by a large crowd of people and Toby's home burning up in flames. Fear gribbed my heart, I pushed my way to the front screaming for Toby. "TOBY, TOBY, TOBY!" I screamed as I tried to run towards the flames. But I was stopped by a cop "sorry miss you have to stay back" he said. I ignored him as I fought to be set free, "NO MY BEST FRIEND IS IN THERE!" I screamed. Hours seemed to pass by before everything died down. But the end result was that they found Toby's body burned beyond regonization. That was the day I lost my only friend who I loved and cherished. The day I lost apart of myself.

3 years later
I was walking home from school, today was a normal day for me... Well as normal as it can get for a girl who hasn't spoken for three years. After Toby died I stopped talking, people leave me alone but I could still hear their whispers as I passed them in the halls or the store. They spread rumors that I had something to do with Toby's death or I had planned the fire back then. I ignored them as I walked inside my home. I was greeted by silence because my parents were once again out of town on a bussiness trip. Another lonely day I thought as I made my way up into my room. It was decorated with pictures taken of Toby and I. Oh how I missed him, I took out my text book and started to work on my homework. Graduation was in a two months so I've been working hard to get into a good college. Recently I thought it was best that I try and move on with my life... Try to get the old me back, try to speak again? I hadn't relized how late it was til I closed my book. Looking out the window I saw the moon was full with life and the stars glittered with hope. Grabbing my jacket I headed outside and towards the graveyard. A few minutes later I found myself in the far back of the graveyard that was blocked off by trees. I stood in front of Tobys grave silent as always. I never spoke I just stood there thinking of endless things I wished I could say. I'm leaveing soon Toby... I've come to relize that I must move on, I can't keep being depressed over your death... As I thought this I shed a few tears. Toby was everything to me, he was my best friend, my first love, my family, he was my protector. Why did you have to die?! I silently cried. I hated him for leaveing me like this, I wipped away my tears and turned around about to head home when I saw a figure in the distance. He appeared to be visting a grave. I started to walk his way because well the gate was right past him. But as I got closer I noticed his face was covered with a mouth guard and orange goggles. Getting a bad feeling I tried to speed walk passed him but my walk way was blocked by a metal hachet. It had swung out before me forceing me to stop in my tracks. Its sharp surface rested on my neck. Was I going to dye tonight? Right before I finally decided to move on with my life? "It's strange to see a human being out so late I wonder why are you out?" he demanded. I montioned to Toby's grave hoping he would get the picture that I can't talk. The truth is that I kinda forgot how to form words. "U-u-use y-y-your words" he stuttered out then he did a twitching movement with his body. Confused I stared at him, Toby had the same stuttering and twitching proplem. I pushed away the hatchet that was aimed at my throat and moved closer to him. He gasped surprised as he went to stop me with his other hatchet. But I just pushed it to the side as I gentely pulled away the mouth guard and goggles. Now stareing at me is a older and more taller Toby. I couldn't believe that toby was right in front of me. He was dead right? But indeed here he was stareing at me while twitching here and there. Tears formed in my eyes as I looked at him. But the next thing I reamber was my vision going blurry and me falling to the ground. But not before I looked up at my supposed to be dead best friend. And with a voiceless mouth I mouthed  Toby? That was the last thing I reambered before my vision went black.
