Chapter 6: Unwanted Throwbacks

Chapter 6: Unwanted Throwback.

Thinking back to my last birthday, it wasn't the best. Well of course it wasn't. Your brother had died on your birthday. It was more of like the day we celebrates of his death. No one even cared about my birthday.

Since it was only a month away from my birthday. I wasn't expecting anything.

I set the two pictures on a shelf and started to rummage through the ret of the box I had originally opened. There were pictures of my old soccer team, my childhood memories like when me, Niall, James an Jack had a huge paintball fight in our back yard 3 years ago and we were covered in paint frowning at the camera.

I had so many bruises after that. They hurt a lot.

I closed up the box and put it aside. I slipped into my bed and pulled up the covers over my cold body. 

(*.*) 

I stood in the middle of a empty highway. Why was I here? 

My bare feet were on the cold hard pavement. I stood there in my pj's freezing my butt off. I walked around just to take in my surroundings.

It felt familiar. 

A loud screech that sounded like a car smashing into a wall sounded from down the highway. I started to walk toward it. 

As soon as I saw smoke rise from where the car had supposedly crashed. I started to run, I passed a large sign that every highway had. 

Highway 19 Ireland 

He died on this highway. 

I started to sprint full speed, I hurddled the barriers to the  other side. A car lay in the ditch with smoke pouring out og the front. 

3 bodies laid on the highway motionless with rusty dark red liquid covering their bodies. I stepped over their bodies trying not to cry at the presence of blood. 

Another body laid only a few feet away from me. The body was face down motionlessly laying there. It was terrifying. 

It was my brother. Laying face down on the pavement. His blonde hair covered in blood, bruises and scratches covering his arms and legs. 

Tears began to fall at the sight of him. I ran up to him, flipping him over onto his back. His eyes were closed and blood was pooring out of a huge gash on his head. 

His face was slowly losing it's colour. I started to cry even harder. 

"Tyler!! Ty please wake up! Please Tyler I need you, I miss you and life is not the same without you!!" I screamed. 

I could hear the sirens of the paramedic's, police cars and fire trucks getting closer.  I rested my head on his chest. 

I felt a arm on my back slowly rubbing my back. I looked up to see two Tyler's. One beside me and one on the ground dead. 

"Ty..Tyler?" my voice shaked.

"Hey big sis. I miss you a lot." his green eyes sparkled. 

"Than why did you have to go?! Why did you leave me, mom, dad, James and Jack?! Because you died on my birthday my life has been messed up. Everyone is depressed because you left." I ranted. 

He frowned. "Keera, I can't do anything about the past  or the future. But this is just a dream. A dream. Sis, I miss you more than anything but I am still with you." 

The police car pulled up a few feet away from me. The officer walked out of the car and 5 more followed him. 

A couple of them ran toward Ty's friend's and 2 of them ran to Ty. One ran right through me. I stepped back than realized, I wasn't even supposed to be here. 

"Tyler, Why couldn't you have stayed home with everyone else? We had the biggest argument before you were killed and I never got to say goodbye" I sobbed in his shoulder. 

"K. I have to go. I'm sorry." He faded. 

The whole scene from that night disapeared. 

(*.*) 

I woke up sad. Well of course, I had a dream about my dead brother. Today I had to go to Niall's which I wasn't looking forward to, but yet I was. 

I got out and walked to the bathroom attached to my room. i turned the shower on and grabbed a towel from my drawer. 

I stripped off my pj's and tank top, slipping into the shower. The hot water poured down my body ad yes, it felt good. 

My body was tense and sore from yesterday and sweaty. I turned off the water after I was finished and stepped out, wrapping the towel around my body. 

I walked back into my room and pulled some under garments on. I ruffled through my clothes and picked out a pair of white skinny jeans that would take me like a half an hour to get on, but it was worth it. 

I grabbed my black Under Armour sweater since it was snowing lightly out. I piled my hair up into a ponytail and wrapped some light blue pro wrap around my head. 

I pulled my socks on and my one in a million that I never wore Uggs. I grabbed my phone and some money and ran down the stairs. 

"Hey Dani" I mumbled as I opened the fridge. 

"Heyy Keera. So your going out with Niall now are you?" she questioned rising a eyebrow. 

"Nope, just catching up with a old friend." I pause. "Why?" 

"Because he told the boys and they are teasing him about it and he want's everything to be perfect." she squealed. 

"Well than I guess" I shrugged. 

I munched on a toasted bagel quietly as Danielle stared at me. 

"Well I got to gooo. BuhBye" I waved and walked out the door. Last night Niall had texted me his address and made sure I knew where I was going. 

I strolled down the street his flat was supposedly on and looked for his house number. Before I realized it the end of the street was  a huge house. 

I walked up to it and rang the door bell waiting for someone to answer. I could hear from inside the yelling and arguing. 

"KEERAAAA"S HERREEE" someone yelled. 

"I GOT IT!" another voice yelled. 

"NO HARRY I GOT IT." someone else yelled. 

The door bursted open and 3 tangled boys were fighting each other. They rolled out and I stepped aside so I wouldn't get hit. 

"Hey K" zayn greeted me. "You can come in, those three will be a while."
