Chapter 1 - Present

“Wake up, Wake up” I heard my sister Lily say. Lily is 15 and loves shopping today I promised her I would take her to the shops, since tomorrow is our mum’s birthday.

“Give me five more minutes” I whined hoping she would leave me alone. I was wrong.

“No get up now!” she stated and jumped on me.

I pulled the blankets over my head and tried to get her to stop by moving round and throwing her off me.

“Roman I’m not moving or get off you until you get out of this god damn bed” lily shouted right next to my ear. I sat up suddenly.

“Fine I’m up happy?” I asked.

“Not until were out that door and at the shops now get dressed and let’s go.” She said as she walked out of my room.

I got up and pulled on my black jeans with a plain white singlet, I pulled on my black converse and I fiddled with my black hair that stuck up in some places. Eh I couldn’t care less. I thought.

“LILY CAR NOW” I ordered. I heard

I got my car keys and walked out my beat up car which is a Volkswagen beetle which was my mums. And got in the car with a waiting lily. I started the car and we were off down the street

“I want to go to JB HI- FI, supre. Pretty and twisted ...” lily kept naming shops she wanted to go to while I was nodding my head pretending I was listening when I saw it, the one house I refuse to go near. I would never enter that house ever again two years ago was enough.

Sophie was the love of my life until two years ago on Halloween when she died in the ‘haunted house’ which is haunted now by Sophie’s presence I was there the night she fell out the window and know exactly what happened and I dreamed of the words that had cut me so deep in the heart. The night keeps replaying in my head and I hate it especially when I can still see her face with the blood.

“ROMAN WATCH OUT” lily screamed and I came back to reality I was on the wrong side lucky I swerved in time not to crash into the truck coming our way.

“Jesus Christ are you trying to kill us” lily said.

“Sorry wasn’t paying attention” I answered.

After ten minutes we arrived at the mall lily went to her shops and I wandered around. I found my best mate Jeremy who was with his girlfriend Beth. Jeremy had been my mate since the start of school all the way up to now. He has black straight hair with his fringe always covering one eye and always wears flannel t – shirts. Beth was tall a bit skinny and was a redhead. We all used to hang out including Sophie we ruled the school.

“HEY ROMAN OVER HERE” Jeremy yelled at me. I walked over and shook his hand. While Beth merely nodded to me I never thought she liked me.

“ hey guys what are you doing here?” I asked hoping I could be on my way ever since Sophie had died I don’t spend as much time with people and I keep to myself a lot.

“Are you seriously asking that question? We never see you anymore ever since Sophie died. Roman man it’s been two years she isn’t coming back sorry to be harsh but it’s true.” Jeremy told me.

“I’m not having this conversation bye” I said as I walked off. I went to the food court bought some McDonalds. I was eating when all of a sudden a girl who was the splitting image of Sophie walked past.

I forgot about my lunch and followed her trying to catch up to her.

“Hey” I said behind her, while she turned around.

“Hey do I know you?” she asked.

“Umm .. No but you look like someone I know sorry” I said a little disappointed because I knew Sophie had died.

“You look familiar maybe I have seen you around I’m Layla nice to meet you?”

“ Roman nice to meet you to Layla” I said maybe we could become friends.
