Nia pov
I wasn't sure what was going on, but I knew I loved Calum. I heard him screaming over the thunder and lightening, I didn't know what he was saying. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know if I should go look for him or not.
I didn't want to be away from him for too long, I went looking for him and got turned around. I wanted to have a good time, I was afraid of what could have or would have happened.
I didn't know when the lights would go back on, or if they ever would. I didn't want to have to worry about the lights, I just wanted to be with Calum and everyone else.
"Calum, where are you baby boy. Did you find the matches."
I pulled a hand through my hair and thought things through, I wanted to make the best of this. I felt for Rena because she'd lost her loved ones, she'd lost Luke although she had his ghost. But it still wasn't the same, I wasn't so sure I would have anything by the end of this.
This hellish nightmare was never ending, I made it into Calum's room and looked around. I used my flashlight and pointed it on different things in his room, I wasn't sure what I was expecting.
I didn't see Calum anywhere and knew I was in trouble, I saw the broken window and felt the wind and rain hitting against my skin. I looked under the window and saw a gruesome scene, I was freaking out internally.
"Cal, gosh no. Calum please tell me you're not dead, what happened."
I knelt down onto my knees and looked to him, I didn't know what was going on. I bit my lip slightly and let the sobs escape, I wasn't sure what to do. I was so mad right now I didn't know who I was, I wasn't used to being filled with anger and rage. At least nothing like this before.
"Calum, fucking wake up. Please, you can't leave me Calum."
I pondered calling the police but decided against it, I slapped Calum in the face. I slapped him until I couldn't anymore, I hated this, I pulled him to me and hugged him. I didn't know how long he'd been here, I was pissed off with myself.
"Calum, fucking hell. I love you, don't leave me, we've got so much going for eachother."
I switched positions so I was underneath him as I held him, I didn't understand this at all.
"What's going on Nia, are you alright."
I looked to Rena and Liam and buried my head into Calum, I knew I would have blood all over me. But I needed to be there for him, I needed to be there for whoever needed me.
"I'm not okay, does it look like I'm okay Rena."
I tried calming myself down, I needed to talk to Calum. I wasn't feeling anything though, I didn't know if he would come back as a ghost like Luke has or not.
I shook the thought from mind, I needed time to myself. Now I knew how Rena felt when she lost Luke, I felt her hand pull my chin up, I was looking Rena in the eyes now.
"Nia, listen to me babe, it'll be alright. You'll get through this, let Calum's memory live on. He wouldn't want to see you sad, he would want you to be happy."
I couldn't help the tears, I nodded though as she said this. I needed alone time with Calum, I hoped that whoever did this knew they were taking loved ones away. I didn't know how to take this, I was just thankful knowing I had my sister.
"I love you guys, can I have some alone time please. And thanks for being there for me, means allot to me, I hope you guys had a great date."
I didn't know if they'd give me the privacy I wanted and needed, but even if they didn't I didn't care. I held Calum to me and wondered how long it would take me to bounce back from his death.
I wasn't too worried.
"Sure, we're here if you need us though Nia."
I was going to board the window up somehow and bury Calum, I didn't understand why there wasn't a ghost of him. I needed to talk to him, but I guess I wasn't as special as Rena, I knew not everybody would get a ghost. But I still couldn't help but hope for one.
I thought things through and carried Calum with me, I would visit his grave sight everyday. Dead weight was heavy, but I managed, I looked for a shovel and found one in the shed.
I was going to get a gravestone for Calum and I was going to respect him, I wasn't sure how this would go. But I felt good about this, I wanted to make the best for Calum. He meant the world and so much more to me.
Half an hour and some money later I made it back home, I started digging. I needed to do this, I didn't know how long it would take me to dig Calum's grave. But I would stay here until the sun came up if I had to.
"Here, let me help Nia. You shouldn't have to go through this alone, I'm sorry Calum is dead."
I wiped at my head and looked to Liam, I was thankful for his help though. I hadn't expected it, but I was thankful for it, I stayed silent and kept digging.
I wanted to give Calum a proper burial and I was happy to know someone actually cared enough to help me, I looked to Liam and watched as Rena came out to help. At least I hoped she was going to help, I smiled through my tears at her and hoped for the best.
"I love you guys, thank you again for everything."
I didn't know what I wanted, at least we had Luke and Calum buried together.
I would need to clean off soon and I knew I would need to make sure everything for Calum was perfect, I missed him so much already. I wasn't ready to let go of him, that was why I felt as if I didn't have his ghost to talk to. I didn't want to think that, but maybe Rena was the stronger woman.
Maybe she was the one who could carry us both, I didn't want her to have to worry about bearing my burdens. I wasn't that kind of person, but at least we had eachother and we could go to eachother for everything.
I was thankful for my baby sister, she was my rock and my go to woman. I knew I would always have her, and I knew she would always be there for me, we stood up for eachother.
