Haunted by the past

Accidents happen

It has been 3 months since I fell down the stairs and fractured my rib. I was back in the hospital getting a x-ray done. I could hear Austin talking to Alyssa. Austin is officially my boyfriend. We've been dating for almost 3 months. We went on our first date 2 months ago so technically we've only been dating for 2.

"Your rib seems to have healed perfectly" said the doctor. "You can go out into the hallway with your friends now" "Thank you" I said before opening the door.

I put a really big frown on my face so that I could confuse Austin and Alyssa. "How did it go" Austin asked with concern in his eyes when he saw my frown. "It's broken" I told them "They said it punctured something. I need to go into surgery" I said looking really sad. I started to laugh. They both looked very confused. "Gotcha!" I said with a huge grin on my face. "Whoa. You had me fooled" They both said while laughing. "It healed perfectly so I'm all better again" I said. "Well we should probably get going" Alyssa said.

As we were leaving the hospital, I noticed from the corner of my eye that someone was staring at me. I casually looked over. That's when I saw her. It was the same short blond girl from Alyssa's party 3 months earlier. She had bruises all up and down her arms and legs. There were even a few on her neck and face. I wanted to ask her what happened but Alyssa and Austin were already outside waiting for me. Alyssa didn't have her full driver's license yet so we ended up taking the bus home. She could drive her car but she had to have someone with a full driver's license in the car with her. Since dad was never around, she always ended up having her boyfriend, Matt with her. He's 19. I don't like him, at all. He was rude and obnoxious and he wasn't good looking. My sister loves him though.

While we were on the bus, we were talking about random stuff like friends, dream houses, Matt (<Boring topic), being in the hospital... just stupid stuff like that until we got off. When we were at our house, I asked Alyssa if Austin could stay for a little while. I don't know why I asked her. "Ya. He can stay." She winked and then she walked into the living room and turned on the TV. I walked upstairs with Austin behind me.

We mostly talked while we were in my room. There wasn't really much to do. I had an X-box but I never used it. Austin tried playing it once but I guess it was broken. That's what he said at least. My room was sorta small but it had a big walk-in closet and a bay window. I used to sit in the window and wait for dad to come home but then he started leaving for months instead of days so I stopped waiting.

I also had white Christmas lights strung around my room. I only used them when I watched a horror movie. They light up my room so that it's not as dark. I used to love horror movies but when Kylie died, I got freaked out and decided that horror movies were just too much.

I had bunk beds in my room. They were from when I was younger. No one ever toke me out to get a new bed so I was stuck with my bunk beds. Austin was looking through my stuff like he usually does. I was just sitting on my bed. We did this every couple of days. You would think that he would get bored of coming over all the time but he says that he loves this house.

I was looking around my room when I noticed that the Ouija board was sitting on my window sill. Austin looked up and caught my gaze. He looked over to were I was staring and he noticed the Ouija board. "Whoa. Is that a Ouija board" He asked me as he walked towards it. He picked it up and examined it. "It is!" He walked towards me, still carrying the board in his hands. He set it down next to me.

"Can we play it?" He asked. "I really don't wa-" "Pleaseeeeee" He begged. He sounded like he was 5. "Sure..." "Thank you" He smiled then he leaned over and kissed me. His lips were really soft. It sent shocks throughout my body. That was the first time that he kissed me. I wanted him to kiss me more but sadly he didn't. I must have had a dopey look on my face because he asked me if I was okay. "What?" I said sounding very confused. He smiled and kissed me again. More shocks. "When do you want to do this?" He said as he pointed toward the board. "Next time we hang out. It's getting dark" I told him before grabbing the board and putting it back on the window sill.
