surprised.
“Leave him alone, find someone not breathing to manipulate.” I seethe. I wa nt to wrap my hands around her throat and choke her to death but she’s already dead! She sees the rage in my eyes and hastily runs around the bed putting Drew between us.
“Don’t let her hurt me.”
Drew stares at me confused, “Journey, calm down, it’s alright.”
I shake my head, “T his is not right. She’s dead Drew and you were,” balling my fists I struggle not to jump across the bed and beat the snot out of her. “Get out of the way.” I step forward.
“No.” Drew glares at me, “I won’t let you touch her. I love her and she loves me.”
Kadence peeks around him with a smug grin on her face.
“Love?” I chortle, “Y ou can’t love her, what do you think is going to become of this, she’ll suddenly be resurrected and we can pretend the last year never happened?”
“Get out.” Drew says s adly.
“But,”
“Out, I don’t want to talk to you right now.”
I nod and turn around pausing before I let myself out, “I’m sorry Drew, I didn’t mean to upset you.”
Stopping at the landing, looking down the hall to my room I cringe at the thought of being alone. Stupid Kadence! I feel badly for slapping her, that’s a lie, she deserved it. Now I’m alone to, I can’t talk to Drew, can’t talk to her. No chance in Hades I’m waking my parents. I shouldn’t have gone crazy. I should have kept a level head. Anger and violence never solve anything. Wiping the stray tear from my cheek I decide to go downstairs.
Rummaging through the freezer I find a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, grab a spoon from the drawer and sit down. Great, now I’m turning into one of those people who eat when they’re depressed. I’ll gain fifty pounds before summer ends. A sob catches in my throat and I nearly choke on my bite of ice cream as I picture a chunky me in a bikini at the beach, people looking, laughing and pointing. I sit the pint on the table and push it away. “If only I had someone to talk to.” My thoughts slip from my mouth. A hand caresses my cheek. I’d be freaked out if it weren’t for the sense of comfort that came with it. I don’t even bother to ask if it’s Kay, she’s most likely still upstairs with Drew and I’m not even going to imagine what they are doing. Last time we had a serious argument it took weeks before we spoke to one another, and I was the one to apologize when it should’ve been her. That’s it! Tomorrow I’m going out to find living friends. Dude that sound so pathetic, who am I kidding I’m not the kind of person that makes friends easily. I’m shy and awkward when I get around a group of people. Maybe that’s why the dead like me, I don’t really fit in with the living. “Please talk to me.” I whisper. Awesome, not even the dead want to speak to me now. Maybe I am an emo… If I start wearing all black and even think about cutting I’ll be checking myself into the nut house. I’m just going to rest my eyes for a moment, they feel so heavy, and then I’ll hide the evidence of my junk food binge.
CHAPTER FIVE
“Heavens sake kid, ” Mom’s voice breaks in, “are you sleepwalking again?”
“Umm,” Ouch. Gross, I drooled at some time the n it dried and now my face is stuck to the table. Attractive, I’m so glad Drew hasn’t made friends yet. I’d die of embarrassment if they had walked in on me.
“ Honey what happened?” She looks at the soppy carton of melted ice cream on the table.
“I wanted a snack?”
“You wasted the good stuff,” dad says smiling, “I hid that on purpose.”
Mom scowls at him. “We aren’t teenagers anymore. We can’t eat junk like that and expect to stay looking so good.” She smacks his butt and I try not to look repulsed.
“You know it’s my after afte rnoon delight treat.” He grins at
