My cellphone rang around 3'0 clock in the morning.I woke up,totally tired after my late night b'day party.
Ya....I was 18 now.
I reached for my phone , that's when I notice something dangling from my wrist.....a bracelet.
"Hello, Jen speaking" I said.
No response
"Hello....Who is it?" I asked
"Happy birthday to you....." Came the reply
"Who is it?"
No answer
After a while , came the voice again
" It's my b'day too....You know, i was expecting your call "
"WHO IS IT?" I shout.
"It's me Anne, your sister"
"WHAT"
That's surprising.....My twin sister Anne died years ago......but the voice coming from the other side was same as mine
"Did you like the bracelet?" asked the voice
NO....NO.....this can't be happening.
Anne was dead .....IS dead.
I had killed her ..... Unintentionally though....in a car accident .
We were just 14
I was driving our dad's SUV....just for fun, just to show my friends that I had grown up and Anne was there.....in the passengers seat.
I still remember , blood dripping from her forehead.......her eyes closing for the last time.
I couldn't save her
The guilt, the regret .....still kills me and I am still not over it.
"Jen, you there?"came the voice
"Hmmm"
"Did you like my gift....The bracelet?"
I hanged up
OH MY GOD
This is not happening...It's not real.
That's when I hear a scream, the scream coming from me....like a shrill
The next thing I know was seeing Felicity barge into my room.
"Jen, you alright?"she asks
OH GOD.....I can't control myself, i am still screaming. I try standing up from the bed, but instead fall hard on the ground......Still screaming.
That's when Felicity takes her phone, dials a number and says "Hello, this is Dr.Felicity Anderson . I need 4 nurses right now.Jen is getting out of control....yes Jennifer Aurden , patient no.203, ward no.13".
