Afterlife | Justin Foley

Holly

Holly's POV:
I walked into the living room and stood in front of the couch. My father's eyes widened and my mom stood up. She ran towards me and hugged me tightly. "Hey.." She said. I clung to my mother as she cried while holding me. "You don't understand how much we missed you." She said as she kissed the top of my head.

My dad was the second to hug me. He kissed my cheek and held me tightly. I cried as I held my father. "You're home, princess." "I missed you daddy." He chuckled and hugged me. James pushed past the two of them, staring at me with watery eyes.

"I'm home, James." He stared at me, a tear sliding down his cheek. "H-Holly." Was all he said. He stood in front of my parents not knowing what to say.

I stepped closer to him and he did the same to me. "Holly." He whispered. I didn't say anything. I stared up at my older brother. We were inches away from one another. I threw myself at him, wrapping my arms around him. James held me tightly and began to cry. His body rocked with sobs and I held him. "I missed you, James." "I missed you too. I didn't think I'd ever see you again after the cliff."

"I beat him. For now. I was able to hurt him enough to escape." James sniffled and said "Holly, I can't believe you're back." There was a knock on the door and my dad went to answer it. "I'm here now, James. I'm back." James wiped his eyes and hugged me again. Auntie Summer walked into the room and her eyes widened. "Holly?" I nodded and ran over to her. She hugged me and said "you're back." I pulled away and uncle Justin knelt down to my height. "How you doing?" He asked. "I'm better that I'm back with all of you." Dylan stepped forward and I hugged him. Dylan said "what was it like? Being stuck in there?" He was so intrigued to hear about my time in the dream world.

"I saw people. Dead people. I saw Klaus, Joey and Kincaid." My mom's eyes widened and said "Klaus? How did you see Klaus?" "He was there. There was a lot of dead people there. People Freddy had killed. I didn't know most of them but I talked to Klaus. He was so happy for auntie Summer and uncle Justin. He was happy that the two of you got married and had Dylan. Klaus was shocked to hear that I was your daughter. He thought I was his daughter." I said. My dad scoffed and said "yeah. As if." "Porter, he was in my past life before I met you." Mom said. I noticed Light standing in the corner. I walked over to him and he half smiled and said "hey." I hugged him and he was taken aback. "Thanks for protecting me. In the dream world." Light patted my back and said "no problem." I pulled away and there was another knock at the door. Light opened it to reveal a man with brown hair. "Woah, is this your daughter? The one that was in a coma?" He asked. "Yes, this is Holly." My mom said. Dylan smiled and said "hi, Kyle." "You doing any better?" "A little." Dylan replied. "Holly, this is Kyle. He's a doctor who was taking care of you and Dylan. He's been amazing to the two of you." Dad said as he gestured to Kyle. James walked over and said "haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?" "I have other patients. I figured you guys would be squared away." Kyle said. Dylan and James began talking to him and Light said "you reek of weed." "And you don't?" Uncle Justin said. Auntie Summer rolled her eyes and said "enough. I don't wanna talk about that." Kyle sighed and said "can I examine you? Just to make sure everything is good?" I nodded and he checked my eyes and my temperature. "There seems to be no traumatic side effects. Since the way you were in a coma. I dug through some old records and found out another patient that this happened to. Joey Crusel. I heard he passed away and I'm sorry. But, I found out that he fell into a coma just like yours when he was about seventeen years old. Something about a dream world and I don't know much about dreams. They're not my type of study. But since the same thing happened to you, I'd be glad to look into it and help you guys out." Kyle said. "Joey was in a coma?" I asked. "It was a long time ago. I saved him from the dream world. Well we all did. Kincaid, your mom, your dad, and Justin. Joey was being targeted by Freddy and we were the only ones that could help him. It's in the past." Auntie summer said. "Summer and Joey were close. I mean, two-star crossed lovers or some shit like that." Uncle Justin said. Summer rolled her eyes again and said "I never loved him. I love you. Joey is one of my closest friends but I was never in love with him, Justin."

Justin smiled at summer and Kyle said "this is awkward." James began cackling and Dylan giggled. "I came to make sure you were all ok. So I'm leaving now." Kyle said. He walked out and Justin checked his watch and groaned. "I have a game tonight." "Let's go! It'll be a celebration for Holly!" James said. Dylan nodded in agreement and said "and you can invite Michael and Clarissa too." "Then let's all get ready." Mom said as she walked away.

I'm so glad that Holly is back. I've been waiting to write this for a long time
