You're All I Have

Chapter 1

  I was 16 years old when I died. I had barely started living yet, there were so many things I wanted to do, to try. I won't ever be able to do anything. All my dreams crushed instantly. It was like I wasn't important, nobody cared about me. All I ever wanted to do was hang out with my 5 other friends at the mall or the movies. All that won't happen anymore now that I'm dead.

It started out in the middle of summer; the sun was so bright and hot on my skin. I was wearing a red flowery sun dress, as were my 2 girlfriends and 3 guys were wearing shorts. We were all together that day. We laughed and had a really good time at the mall.

We had sat down in the cafe, when Jacob says, "Hey Jacob, do you like Katie".Everybody went silent and I looked at Jacob. His face was so red. Then he said," Who would like an ugly...." He stopped short and looked at me. I didn't know what to say before he got up and walked away real fast. That was the last time I saw him before I died.

When I got home all I couldn't think about was how I wanted to apologize for what happened to Jacob. I decided to put on a pair of blue skinny jeans, black t shirt and shoes. I started walking down the street after I told my mother bye and where I was going. It was already dark and I was a little scared to come out here this late, so I picked up the pace to a jog. That made me feel a little bit better. I was only a block away before I stepped in front of a car. That was the last thing I remember.

When I woke up, I felt light, like I could easily fly in to the sky. I looked down and realized I could see myself on the ground. I looked awe full. I looked around and I could see my parents and all my friends crying in a heap around the crime seen. I didn't know what to do so I walked away before I would start to cry, I had to figure out what was going on. I was 3 blocks away when I heard someone whisper my name.

"Katie we have given u a chance to looks out for your friends and brings them back together. They will split apart and lose themselves into disparity. Please do your best into helping them." the voice was gone just like that. I shook my head because I didn't believe it. I was dead and now I'm a ghost. That was a lot to take in so I went to the best place to think and to be alone, the park with the playground.

When I got to the park, I went straight to the swing set because that was my favorite thing to do at the park. I sat down and pushed off. I loved the swings ever since I was little because I felt like I could fly and it just felt safe like nobody could reach me or stop me. It cheered me up when I felt down, so I have been coming here when I felt down. I was as high as I could go before I really started to think on what happened. I didn't know how to feel, I was dead. How could I be dead? I felt like I was a child who couldn't get out of a very scary dream. I just don't know to make this better. I wanted to go home to my mom and dad one more time. To tell them everything I felt and how I loved them so much and all the little things. I had my eyes closed for a long time swinging when I heard my name.

I looked up and I saw Jacob. He was crying so hard. I stared at him while swinging. I thought he couldn't see me, but he ran to me and pulled me off the swing set and to the ground. He was on top of me barley touching my face.

 Then his faced went still and he said," Your dead, how can you be here if your dead. Oh my god, you're dead but I'm touching you. How.... How can this be?" I sat there unable to move and looked away towards the crime scene. He slowly got off me and sat beside me. I sat up too and looked at him. I slowly lifted my hand to touch his face, but he flinched. I wasn't ready for this. I got up fast and took off running and I could hear was him screaming my name.
