prologue
┕━━━━━━━★━━━━━━━┙
Lauren Scott had always wanted to go out with a bang. She'd thought of numerous ways she could pass on, from skydiving to an animal attack to her personal favourite, death by ninjas ( after she'd lived a happy long life of course ). However, falling down the stairs and choking on a fucking warhead was not how she wanted to go, especially not at only seventeen.
She remembered the day like it was yesterday-which it technically was for her, Lauren had been visiting her older brother at his and his girlfriends college home, writing in her little songbook when she tripped over her own feet and fell down the stairs, having not been looking where she was walking.
Her favourite candy getting lodged into her windpipe, stopping her from breathing making choked coughs sputter out of her as she slowly bled to death from the internal injuries. Lauren wanted to cry out for help, but she couldn't and nobody would anyways hear her. Unfortunately, Lucas Scott had been an hour too late to save Lauren, by the time he reached home with Amelia, she had already died from asphyxiation before the injuries could have been treated.
Lauren found herself waking up in a dark empty room instead of a hospital, understanding what had happened after a while. She had slowly but surely accepted her 'lame ass' death during the short time she spent in the dark room but it was all for nothing when she somehow found herself standing in front of her old house in Los Angeles.
All the feelings came rushing back as she walked back into the house. Though, this time confusion was one of them, spotting an older version of her mom and her brother's girlfriend standing walk in with three kids wearing all black. How long had it been? Why were they wearing black? Why can't they see her? Lauren thought to herself, following them into the living room.
Amelia sent the kids whom Lauren assumed could only be hers and Lucas's when her mother had tears in her eyes looking around. The girl watched her mother with concern only to shriek when one of the kids, the oldest girl, walked straight through her with the younger two following behind.
"What the fuck?" She thought out loud. Everything was strange, she didn't remember Amelia and Lucas ever having children, she didn't know how long it had been since she'd died, she didn't know why she was here nor had she seen her father and brother anywhere.
Lauren had no idea what in the world was going on when crying attracted her attention. She looked over and spotted Amelia hugging Monica while she clutched tightly onto a picture frame.
"I lost them all. I lost them all." Lauren had no idea what her mother and Amelia were crying about, trying to get a glimpse at the photo frame she was holding.
"No, no, no." Lauren bit back a sob, realising what had occurred after seeing the picture as she fell against the wall.
Monica was holding a picture of herself, Lauren, Lucas and their dad.

[Author's Note] God this is all over the place and it's so short, not my best work. But like that's how Lauren died and the death of her brother and father is what brought her back as a ghost. Lucas is played by James Lafferty if i have him in any more chapters, the kids haven't been given a faceclaim yet and may not get one. The one tree hill influence is so evident already I-
