Epilogue

"Did you hear?" "Did you hear?" "Did you hear?" The question continued to echo down the hall, everyone whispering to each other.

Susan Peters ran up to Alex with a frantic look on her face. "Did you hear that?" 

"Hear what?" Alex replied, full of confusion.

"Anna...She..." Susan hesitated, not sure of how he was going to react to the news.

"Anna, what?"

"Anna is dead."

"What? How?"

"She...She killed herself."

Alex fell to the ground in shock. "What have I done?" He asked  himself.

Susan ran off to spread the news to everyone else.

Alex just sat there, leaning against the wall, scared to face anyone he knew as he knew this was all his fault. 

Guilt started to bubble inside of him, spreading through his entire body. A small drop of water, a tear slow;y dropped down his face.

"What have I done?" He asked himself again as he stood up and started to walk down the hall, feeling as lost as ever. He received vicious stares from his friends, they all hated him.

"Come back Anna," Alex whispered to himself. As he sat on his bed,staring out the window on a rainy day. "Please,come back."

"It's your fault," I told him as I sat on the bed next to him.

His head whipped around, as he starred at me with shocked eyes. "Anna,I thought you were dead?"

"I am."

"What?" But you are here,next to me."

A laugh left my mouth. "No, Alex. I am dead, but I am here to make you regret it."

"What? No, you're alive! I can see you with my own two eyes."

"Try touching me then."

For the second time today, I watched his face full of confusion. He extended a curios hand towards my shoulder, only for his hand to fall through it. At the touch of my transparent body he moved away quickly in shock. "Am I seeing things?"

"No, your eyes are not betraying you. I am here."

"So what are you...A ghost?"

At that point I was in hysterics. "You're funny you know." I said once I managed to control myself.

"Do you know how confused I am right now?" He asked me.

"Do you know how damn confused I was a month ago?"

He didn't reply to that knowing I was right.

"Exactly. Well I am not a ghost..."

"Then what are you?"

"Well I don't know how to put it..the definition of a ghost is a soul or spirit that has unfinished business, blah, blah...but what I am rather is...well when you die you...I can't explain it. But basically no one else can see me but you."

"What? Why?"

"Because you feel guilty. Your guilt allows you to see me. "

"But you're here. That's what I want."

I shook my head laughing again. "Oh Alex, that's not what you want. You don't want me around anymore."

"Yes I do Anna! I miss you, my heart is killing me knowing that you are gone."

"You're heart only hurts because you feel guilty. You're glad you can see me right now because you are glad that you don't have to live with the fact that I am dead because of you. How do you think I feel? Do you think I like being dead? Do you know how it feels when I see my friends crying everyday and trying to cope with the fact that I am dead. And wishing that it was them instead of me? I can't ever come back. So I have decided that the way I get my revenge, is by making you the only one who can see and hear me. And you will have to live day in and day out with me by your side. Unless I forgive you, which I doubt that will ever happen."

"Why?"

"I asked myself the same thing."

"Anna?"

"What?"

He sighed, "I don't know, I guess I am prepared to live with it."

"Good, because I am going to make your life hell."

Okay, so I bet you are all confused right now. So let me start from the beginning. Or maybe just the ending, because me in diapers is just way to early. No one needs to hear my sappy story.
