Revival (luke Hemmings)

Chapter three- disbelief

Luke's POV

I dropped to my knees in disbelief. Did I hear what I thought I heard?

oh you're definitely not going to heaven son

His words kept replaying in my mind over and over like a song. What does he mean I'm not going to heaven? I can't be that bad of a person... Can I?

As I tried to fathom what I'd just been told, I heard it again. The footsteps.

As they got closer my heart began pounding as It did before. I was flushed with relief when I realized it was same man from before, but why was he back?

"Oh yeah I forgot to ask would you like the pretty blond hairs on the top of your head to be pulled off one by one? Or have your bones completely removed from your body until you feel like Jelly?"

Now things are getting crazy how could he ask me to voluntarily make myself bald I mean that's ridiculous! My hair is super important to me, and with out bones how will I play guitar? There must be some other punishment.

"Please!" I begged, "I'll do anything but that! Please please please!"

"Oh okay stop your whining there's another way."

I immediately jumped back onto my two feet in excitement.

"What is it? I'll do anything!" I said frantically.

"Well, there's a girl in your town that you haven't been exactly pleasant to." he started, " Her name is Ajah, and I suggest you make things right with her or you'll be spending eternity in hell."

Did he just say what think he said? Ajah? That quiet chick who hates me?

"There isn't anyone else I can make amends with? I mean Ajah? Seriously?"

"That's my final decision and I'm not changing my mind. Now, I have to take care of some other business I don't have time to be babysitting you. I suggest you get to it."

"Oh come on please if I get seen with her my reputation will be ruined!"

"You don't have to worry about that because you're dead, you don't have a reputation and no one will see you. Except her."

" Is that seriously the only way into heaven I mean in mov-" I was cut off by the loud snap of his fingers. In the blink of an eye I was transported to a house, a familiar one. It was small and close spaced and it seemed nearly abandoned. Until I heard the shower running.

Ajah's POV

I needed to clear my head so I decided to take a shower first thing in the morning, a long one. My showers consist of four things.

1. 10 minutes of hair care

2. 10 minutes of body and face washing

3. 5 minutes of brushing my teeth

4. 45 minutes of dancing and singing

I know I know, it sounds a little dorky but I can only sing in the shower, I'm too afraid to sing anywhere else, you know?

While I was in the middle of a serious Whitney Houston status note, I heard my bedroom door open. I immediately cut off the shower and locked the bathroom door.

"Hello?" I called, but no answer. I grabbed the candlestick on my kitchen sink for protection just in case it was a robber. I mean you never know.

"Ajah?" the voice called. Suddenly my eyes widened as the voice sounded awfully familiar.

"Ajah come out of the bathroom I need your help." still in disbelief I slowly unlocked the door without noise and slightly cracked the door to peak before shutting it quickly again.

" I know how this looks but I'll explain if you come out of the bathroom."

Am I going crazy? I knew his death was getting to my head but I had no idea it was this bad.

I began searching for the pocket knife I keep under the bathroom sink. What? In a town like this you have to be prepared and cautious.

I grabbed my towel, wrapped it around me, and secured my wet hair in a tight bun before stepping out knife first. I did see clearly, it was Luke.
