New Chapter...
Summary: Tori has a terrible accident and she starts to see weird things. Nobody believes her and she thinks that she has gone crazy. Is she right?
A week had passed. I was glad that I was out of the hospital and I was at home. I didn't want to stay there any longer. Thanks to Chris, I had started to dislike the hospital even more, but maybe it might have been my imagination. I haven't seen Chris since, so I assumed that it was because of my concussion. Today was the first day of school for me since the accident. My parents had finally let me go after much convincing from my side.
Even though I was the one with a broken leg, Trina somehow managed to be slower than I was. "Trina, come on, we're going to be late. Believe me, you look just as good without make-up." I yelled.
Finally she came down. "I don't look as good as I usually do without make-up, but I'm done. Let's go." She said walking towards her car. With the help of my crutches, I walked there too. Trina helped me in the car which didn't do out of herself. Mom and dad told Trina to be less selfish and help. That talk apparently worked.
After a couple of minutes of driving, we arrived at school. Cat was waiting for me. "Hey Tori, I'm so glad that you're back. I missed you so much."
I couldn't help but laugh. "I just saw you yesterday, Cat. But you're right, I have missed being at school."
Cat smiled brightly before helping me out of the car. "Let's get you to your locker." It took awhile to get to my locker, since I couldn't go that fast. Jade was there too. I inwardly sighed. I honestly wasn't in the mood for rude remarks of Jade. Wasn't there ever a break of annoying comments?
Cat started bouncing up and down. "Guess who's back?" She asked.
Jade rolled her eyes. "I have no clue." She said really sarcastic, but of course Cat didn't notice that.
"Really? Well, Tori is back. Aren't you happy? I'm happy." Cat said.
"At least one of us is happy." Jade said. This time it was my turn to roll my eyes. Was that seriously necessary, Jade?
Beck and Robbie showed up. Beck gave Jade a quick peck on her lips. "Hey Tori, glad to see you're back." Beck told me. I smiled softly.
"Glad you're back." Robbie also told me.
"Thanks, I'm glad to be back too." I said cheery as ever.
The bell rang and we went to our classes. The rest of the morning was just a normal day at Hollywood Arts. Nothing weird happened until lunch. I started to make my way over to the table where Cat, André, and Jade were already sitting. Then Chris showed up. I let out a soft groan. Why was I still seeing him? I turned around and found a spot where nobody was.
"What on earth are you doing here?" I asked irritated. I looked at the boy and I realized that he was crying. Guilt flooded into my body. I didn't mean to make him cry.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. It's just not a good idea to show up at school and I kind of got mad at you for that. I'm sorry." I said hoping that somehow he would feel better.
Chris shook his head. "It isn't your fault. You were right. I am dead. I'm not alive."
Somehow that hit me, even though I already knew it. My hallucination or ghost was dead and he just realized it. If he was a ghost, why could I only see him? Weren't others also not supposed to see him? I shouldn't be the only one.
He looked at me for a second. "Why can you see me? I'm dead. Nobody else can see me."
I sat down and Chris sat down next to me. I took a bite of my burrito. "I have no idea. I couldn't see dead people before my car accident. That's why I think that you're a hallucination. There is absolutely no other explanation."
Chris looked at me. "I'm pretty sure that I'm not a hallucination. I know everything about myself. I could tell you everything about myself. Besides, I never met you before. How could I be a hallucination?" He asked.
"I don't know. I never believed in ghosts. It was just a rational idea to explain this whole thing." I said.
Chris nodded. "I guess that I would have done the same. So what do we now? I mean... I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to some place other than here."
I nodded in agreement. "Maybe if we work together that we can find this out. You go find some other ghosts to ask for answers. I will search the internet. Is that a deal?" I asked putting my hand out.
"That's a deal." He said with a smile on his face. He took my hand and shook it. I looked at that in shock. I was surprised that I was able to feel that. I always that you weren't supposed to feel ghosts. I wanted to ask Chris, but he had already disappeared. I hoped that he wasn't going to make a habit of that.
"Tori, who were you talking to?" Beck said. I looked up and was surprised to see Beck and Robbie standing there. Shoot, shoot, shoot. I needed to think of an explanation quick.
"Well, sometimes I talk to myself to boost my confidence." I said. I looked at them hoping that they fell for it.
Robbie nodded. "That makes sense." I let out a relieved sigh. I looked at Beck, but I could tell that he didn't completely believe me.
"Do you need some help with getting up?" Beck asked.
I nodded. He helped me up and we made our way to the rest. We talked and had fun, but in the back of my mind I was still thinking about Chris. It was still weird and confusing to me, but somehow I managed to almost not think about it and eat my lunch.
I hope you liked this chapter. The next one might take some time, but I always try to get a chapter up quickly.
