Ghostly crazy

Chapter 1

I am finally out in the world again, after three years she got cleared healthy and fired from the house for the mentally ill. I still need to take medications, so it won't come back, but I'm fine with that.

I stepped through the gate of house Lennox, institute for the mentally ill, with my bags. I had to wait a moment for the guards to open the gate, when they did, I waved goodbye and walked toward my parents who were here to pick me up.

Just before I got to the car, I looked once more to the instate, silently saying goodbye, hopefully forever. When I was in reach of my mother, Elena Mary Moore, a short but strong blond women with the same blue eyes as me.

People say I look like her, but my hair was always more strawberry blond and my face was a more heart shape, as was hers more round. Also was my nose a lot pointier and my limps smaller, what did I wish my lips were more plump like hers.

My mom immediately took me in her arms, "I missed you so much sweetheart", she sobbed. It wasn't like she had not seen me in three years, because they were allowed to visit. The only problem was that it wasn't the nearest home and because they were busy with work, they could only visit with the holidays.

"Elena, let go of the child, she is going to die of suffocation if you keep hugging her like that." My dad called, "And besides, I want to give her a hug too, if you don't mind honey."

I nodded my had in agreement and my mother let me go slowly, after she gave me a final squeeze. Then I stepped to my dad for a quick hug. "were so glad your finally going home sweetheart." He whispered in my ear.

My dad was is a big men, who is quite scary if you don't know him, but he is the sweetest and the best father I would ever want. He works for a successful business, really high in the ranks. He has hazel hair and green eyes. I don't really look like him.

He let me go and took my bags to put them in the trunk, when mom and me stepped in the car. My dad got in the car too and the drive back home began.

At first it was silent in the car, my dad and I were never really talkative, but my mom made up for it.. So I just stared out of the window, waiting for my mom to start talking.

I haven't been outside the grounds of house Lennox and I don't remember ride towards here, only because I was unconscious for the whole ride.

Dad coughed and started the radio to fill the silence a little bit. This seems to wake my mother up and she began to talk to my dad, while he just nodded.

I just went back to staring out the window, thinking about everything what happened. What I do a lot, thinking, seriously I think way too much.

I have always seen these so called hallucinations, since birth. At the beginning when I was young, I toughed it was normal and as little child I of course told my parents all about it. They waved it a side as just my fantasy running wild.

These people I saw, were actually quite nice to me, they played with me and it was really fun. This went on until middle school, the ghosts got worse, they weren't so nice anymore. They started pushing me, making accidents happing all around me. They gave me sleepless nights or when I finally were asleep, I had nightmares.

School didn't go well either, I was distracted by these ghost and the rest of the students started noticing the weird things that were happing around me.

I was really good at finding excuses, I was embarrassed about the imagine nation things I saw and just blamed it on my clumsiness. My friends just shrugged it off, just like my parents and my older brother. I kept it a secret and I suffered in silence for three years, until the accident happen that got me sent to Lennox.

My 2 year older brother, Mason Kevin Moore, who I have not seen since I was admitted to the instituted and who is now in college. I really hope I'll see him soon, to show him how I'm healed now. He took it really hard when I got admitted and completely my shut me out.

"Sweetheart, sweety, did you hear what I said?" Said my mom, which took me out of my thoughts. I Blinked and turned my head towards her. "Sorry mom, I was lost in my mind, what did you say?"

Mom repeated what she said before, just something about how glad she is I'm coming home and how much I missed when I was away. I just nodded and gave some short answers, not really in to the conversation.

This went on for the remaining seven hours of driving home.

Finally we arrived in our street, the street was long and had on both sides old family houses and sometimes a little park or a playground. Our house wasn't far in to the street, so we quickly drove in to the our driveway.

Dad parked the car in front of the garage door and we got out. Mom went to the door to open it up, she said on the way here that she had made some muffins to celebrate me being home and Dad went to the trunk to retrieve my bags and to put them in my room.

I got slowly out my car and walked towards the door, I looked at the all too familiar house where I group up. The garden looked the same as always, with all kinds of flowers, my mother loves them and loves to work in the garden.

The house looked the same, only the paint work could get a redo and I think there is a bird nest in the gutter.

I opened the door and walked in to the hallway, a little on the left from the front door there was a coat rack, so I hung my boring grey coat and undid my shoelaces and put my grey flats under the coatrack with the other shoes.

A few meters further down the hall are the stairs and on the right a door to the living room and my father's workroom. The hallway ends in an archway to the kitchen and dining room, that has a door to the backyard.

I was standing still in the hallway and mom came walking back from the kitchen. "Sweety, are you hungry, I can make some diner?" I looked at her and shook my head, "No thanks mom, I'm not that hungry, I'm actually kind of sleepy. I think I'll go to bed." Mom nodded and looked kind of disappointed.

I walked up the stairs, to the right and hesitated before walking in to my room. My room was clean and just the way I left it. It felt familiar and I immediately collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.
