7. Kill the person that killed her
She died last year. A bloody, cruel death.
On October 31, she left my house at 7 after re-watching Titanic for the thirty-hundredth time. Three hours later I found out she was missing. I searched everywhere, I yelled and screamed, I got everyone to help me. By some twisted luck, I found her. I found her barely conscious on the Old Highway 45 minutes away from my house.
She died in my arms.
I promised to live on without her. I promised myself to never let her go. I promised to forget. I promised myself not to forget. I promised I wouldn't try to find who did this. I promised myself that I would kill him.
She told me with her very last breaths; Don't waste your time on this. He's not worth it. I'm not worth it.
Those words have haunted me ever since.
I still can't escape her. Her name, her face, her ghost... It all follows me.
In the newspaper;
Police still investigating the murder of local highschooler.
On the local news;
No news on the murder of 15 year old girl.
At school;
"Disney, Amy?" "Not here, ma'am." "Where is she?" "Gone. Permanently." "She's still on the student list." "She's been dead for a year, ma'am."
Even at home;
"Brit, maybe you should give away Titanic..." "I'm fine." "It might be causing you stress." "I want it." "We can find a new movie for you to like. Don't cling to memor-" "I just want to keep it!"
And now I feel empty.
Why? Amy's sweet, harmonious voice whispers to me.
Because I'm haunted by the ghost of you.
