at sunset

"Guys the sun is setting." I whisper the fear running through me.

"Kayla it'll be okay." Gabriela assures watching me view outside the window.

I turn to see Deaton, Melissa, Scott, Liam, Stiles, and Lydia along with Gabby who had already been by my side.

"I'm scared." I whisper.

"I love you guys. I wish I could remember you all but I know that I love you. Remember." I say softly.

I look back out a window to see a fairly tall boy coming up the steps not looking up.

"Someone. Someone's coming." I whisper.

The door bell rings causing scott to rush over and open it.

"Ricky?" He breaths out.

"Scott. I uh I heard about Kayla. Is it true?" He asks. I could barley see his face. It was puffy red, like he had been crying.

"She's awake. But she --" Ricky interrupts him and barges in.

I grip tightly onto Gabriela's hand frightened my breathing increasing.

"K-Kayla." His eyes glisten with tears as he slowly approaches me.

"Uhm Hello." I say trying to pretend like I remember at least.

Who was he?

"Ricky --" Liam begins.

"Liam." Ricky says rudely.

"Look, Ricky? is it? I-I don't remember anything at all -- I'm sorry. I have no idea what type of connection we have. Or how I know you or what. I can die tonight and I really don't need someone else to say goodbye to." I say indicting he should leave.

"Kayla, I'm your brother."

I felt my heart drop to the bottom of the ground with a massive thump.

I hear a voice followed by laughter making me feel weak.

A weak feeling I have felt before.

Sweet girl. How are you?

"What?" I grip onto my head backing up.

I said, how are you darling?

"Who - Who?" I look up at everyone who was eyeing me.

Surprise sweetheart.

"Conner." I breath out.

"Kayla are you okay? What's wrong?" Scott calls out my head beginning to spin.

I look deep into Ricky's cold eyes.

"Conner." I say again.

"Y-You." I point at Ricky shaking backing away.

"Get away - Get -- Get." I say louder

You're so stupid kayla. They think you're crazy. Which you may be but they don't know that I'm in your head. If it wasn't already clear its Conner, your lovely brother.

"Get out of my head." I speak to myself.

Ricky's steady stare was on me blank.

Just blank.

And he looked horrible, worn out.

His eyes a puffy red, not like he had been crying more like he hadn't slept in days.
