Goodbye

Seven

To this very day I remember the looks on their faces as they asked me the date of my departure and I had to tell them it was the next day.

It was the worst experience of my life.

I look back on that day with sadness and despair. Wondering what would have happened to me and to them had I stayed. I'm hardly in touch with Diana and I've never seen Evangeline and Ivy again.

Why can't the ghosts come see me?

Because ghosts are rooted to a somewhat small area around where they die. Therefore, they cannot come to Colorado to visit me. Diana cannot come because her family never lets her go anywhere and she's having a hard time to come up.

I cannot come down because mom finally got me in a hospital. She says it's good for me but I disagree. She says I can't leave but I want to to and she fights me on it everyday.

Now my dreams are haunted by that day and that place and what might have been.

The ghosts and voices help me come up with the different endings. They tell me it could have been better but that  it's too late. They say I should stop. Stop everything. They beg me to listen to them. Finally I give in and I do.
