She was walking home alone, it wasn't smart now that Lucas was around. I walked with her and kept silent and hidden. I saw a tear course down her cheek.
"Why JT did it have to be you?" I became known.
"I wonder that my self." Her hand went to her heart and she sprayed pepper spray on me but it fell through my form like a mist. I looked down feeling a bit more pain and seeing the blood on my hands.
"Your... Dead" I gave her I know that look.
"Honestly does everyone have to tell me that?" I walked with her till we were in a park. We sat down on the bench.
"Why are you here? How is it even possible." I smiled at her.
"I'm here to make people see sense before I move on, you all blame your self's everyone but you. It helps me learn of the mistakes I made and why." I took her hand but she pulled away feeling a chill. I still hadn't got that right.
"I loved you but you only loved her." I smiled sadly.
"That is true, but I did love you Mia just not like Liberty." She turned and looked out over the pond where the moon reflected on the icy surface.
"Why her? Why couldn't we be happy?" I leaned back.
"We had history Mia, I never wanted to give up my son, It wasn't Liberty's fault either I sold drugs. It was a dark time that shouldn't have been. We were bringing life into the world and that you understand. But with her I felt the insecurities not realizing she was just scared it ended. We were happy if I remember. Things I said about Liberty though were a lie." She stood and looked at me shocked.
"You are just a jerk JT." I stood with her and getting angry.
"No I did what I did because I never wanted my past to collide with you. I thought if I forgot about it, it would just disappear. But once you found out and Liberty and me began fighting again, I knew I loved her. Hatred is a curved blade that does harm to yourself. That's what I think of my death, the hate that was filling me because I kept both worlds separate to crush me in the middle. When I was stabbed, I told her I loved you. Never said I loved her, I never got that chance. Mia your young and we both made mistakes." I yelled at her, the air around us warmed with heat that began to become hot enough to burn. I looked away and thought of Liberty till the air cooled.
"Why come back. If you cared but not enough to be with me..." I shut her up.
"I did care that's why I was with you not Liberty! I came back to help you move on, so I can I don't want to be dead and stuck here for the rest of my life. So if all of you can stop feeling sorry for your self's I can move on." She stepped back as if I slapped her.
"Go JT." I sighed. I didn't want to yell at her.
"I chose you because you were smart, funny, cute and a mother. Being a father was a wish of mine. My father fail me as I failed my son. Hold Izzy close, I did love her and you." I turned and pushed my self through time till I reached my Grandmas house. I walked through and saw my room, it was left untouched, my skateboard was leaned up under the window. My bed hairstyle made. I noticed my favorite shirt missing. And my cologne. I smiled. Liberty. I walked to my Grams room and in the dark moon light I saw her asleep.
"It had to be me grams. You didn't understand why but I never told you of the fighting. They wanted Liberty and I was the one in their way. Dating Mia didn't help but as ticking time bombs go at one point they will explode. It was an accident, if not me then another. I said shit that night, my world already fell." I gave her a sad smile as I turned to go but she stood in front of me I looked to the bed and back.
"Heart attack James. You dieing was to much on my old heart. One last person to go then it will be me and you in heaven. Shes been visiting me James, likes to sleep in your room, to smell what used to be you. It helps her remember but not as a painful memory. Go to her James and I'll meet you on the other side." I felt the puncture, I knew I had little time left, time was replaying its self for me only if I didn't have the same ending.
