Hey people! So how are you liking it so far? Did ya cry?

Me neither.

But, I'm not here to wallow in my failure at writing.

So I bring GLORIOUS NEWS!

I will be writing in...

*drumroll*

OLI'S POV!

"Woo"

"Yea"

Ok. You can stop pretending to care now.

Just kidding. You weren't even pretending.

You just don't care.

...

I'm so alone...

Jk jk.

Anyway, here's the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oli's P. O. V.

I felt Empty.

Empty...

The word echoed around me.

I looked around, and saw nothing.

Just murky blackness.

Oli...

It was a voice, barely a whisper. So quiet I wasn't sure if I had even heard it.

Oli...

There it was again.

"Where am I?" I shouted into the void.

The barrier...

"What am I doing here? Where's Sarah? Is she ok?" I was terrified.

Your friend survived. By she is struck by grief...

"Why?"

Because you didn't...

"Wait... I'M DEAD?!?!"

Uhh... yea that was the general idea...

I ran my fingers through my hair, and tried to breath at a pace that wasn't going to make me pass out.

"How... did... I... die..." I gasped.

A white flash tore through the blackness, and a floating screen popped up out of no where.

This just isn't getting any scarier.

I saw a car. It was Sarah's car. We were laughing inside. I smiled when I saw Sarah's grinning face. Then a deer ran across the road.

The car swerved out of control and hit a tree. Sarah asked me something, but I couldn't make out what it was. She turned, and screamed.

I screamed too.

I saw me, bloody and mangled, surrounded by glass, gasping for breath. Then I saw the light fade from my eyes.

I expected it to end there.

What I didn't expect was to see Sarah climb into the back seats, screaming my name.

I didn't expect her to shake me, sobbing.

I didn't expect her to tell me she loved me, and close my eyes.

I didn't expect her to cradle my head in her arms, and tell me she loves me.

She loves me.

She loves me.

I love her.

There was a white flash. And then I was enveloped by blackness once more.

Now... choose...

A flash of white, and then there was two screens. One played a vision of utter beauty. A land of cloud, filled with angels, and music and laughter, and everyone was waving to me.

On the other screen, showed Sarah.

If you choose to go to Heaven, you can stay they're for eternity. But you will have no contact with earth...

If you choose to go back to earth, you will become a Guardian for the person who was most deeply affected by your death. And, when she needs you most, you may help her. But, you can never come to Heaven until she dies. Then you can both be free souls...

Choose wisely...

I looked at Heaven. It looked beautiful, and happy, and everyone was laughing, but then I saw Sarah...

Gale and her Cliche had her surrounded.

Both screens were muted, so I called into the oblivion:

"Can I hear the sound in this one?"

Suddenly Gale's voice echoed through the blackness.

"...little game of hide and seek!"

Sarah looked confused, so Gale kept going.

"She hiding! And you have to find her. Isn't she playing Hide and Seek with you Sarah? You better hurry or she might die of boredom."

With that they encircled her, chanting...

"Hide and seek..."

"Ready or not..."

"Go find her Sarah..."

They walked away, laughing, and Sarah ran away sobbing.

"Sarah!" I screamed, and ran after her.

There was a flash of white...

She has chosen...
