A nightmare before christmas (tnbcforever)

Memories

"wake up" I poked Megan in the arm

"wake up" I repeated

"Uhhhh" Megan moaned still half asleep

Whenever we used to have sleepovers I used to wake up at 9:30 AM when Megan would wake up at 12:30AM.
I never could understand how she could sleep in so long.

Megan and I always had a lot in common now that I Think about it. We both were obsessed with the nightmare before Christmas for one. Sometimes when we'd meet each other at the mall, we would end up wearing the same outfit and not even realize it. Sure, at one point we even had a crush in the same guy, Mark. I shivered .
He's the reason I died.
He and Leah.



It was now 8:05
I couldn't stand thinking about Mark anymore. There was only one way to wake Megan up.

"Megan wake up! It's almost 9:00! We're going to be late for school!" I said more loudly

"what?" she sat up and rubbed her eyes

"come on don't you want to see your mom and dad?" I said which made her spring out of bed

She started brushing her tangly red hair

"wait, there's no school today.. It's Saturday" she realized

"Yeah but I wanted to talk to you about something" I sat up

"what is it?" she sat next to me

"how did you drown? You were the best swimmer I knew. I'd have a better chance of drowning then you" I asked

"well. It's hard to explain. Since I took you to the fair I felt like I was responsible for your death. I had chains of guilt hanging on me the whole week you died. My family saw how upset I was so they took me to the public swimming pool. I felt like there was only one way for me to get rid of all my guilt, for me to die. That day I swam to the deep end and sank to the bottom. My chest burned because my lungs needed air but I refused 1minute later my torture stopped. I was in a strange mirror room and my pain left and then I ended up here and so on" Megan explained

She had always thought of others and put them before her but I didn't think she would go that far. Ever.

"oh no. It wasn't your fault. You shouldn't have did that." I felt bad for her

She must really miss her old life. Like I did.

"I know but I felt so depressed. I'm sorry" she started crying

Now it's my turn to be a caring person

"killing is never the answer. It wasn't your fault. It was my own fault er Marks fault"

"what do you mean ' Marks fault' " she wiped a tear away

"well I saw Leah and Mark kissing in the funhouse and I wished I was dead. I had a HUGE crush on him then" I rolled my eyes just thinking about him and Leah

"I remember what happened" Megan looked out the window

"what?" I asked

"It wasn't Mark's fault. Just Leah's. I saw Leah pull him in once she saw you run in. He tried to get out but let's just say he wasn't the strongest nail in the bunch. Leah threatened to hurt you if he didn't kiss her and he liked you too so he kissed her but what he didn't know was that you seeing Leah kissing him would hurt more then getting kicked or slapped."

"really? He liked me?"

I felt bad for all the mean stuff I said about him now.
That did sound like something Leah would do and my best friend wouldn't lie to me.

"Yeah he even told me he wanted to ask you out sometime" Megan shrugged

"What?! My crush was going to ask me out?!" I stood up

"yeah but them you died. He seemed so heartbroken."

"I I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do"

I felt dizzy

"Susan" Megan looked worried at me "are you ok Susan? You look like your going to pass out. Susan?! Susan!"

If only I could turn back time.
If only I could fix my mistakes.
If only I could have lived
Then would I be ok
