Dropping his beaten up backpack onto the floor of his apartments hallway, Kai growled in annoyance.

"Stupid neighborhood kids. Next time I catch them looking through my window I'll chop their little heads off." He mumbled to himself, storming down the hall and into the kitchen. As his feet slapped against the linoleum of the floor Kai pressed the flashing red button on his phone.

"You have …two… new messages. Please press one one to listen to your…two…new messages." The automatic voice said plainly, making Kai roll his eyes.

Pressing the '1' button twice he opened the fridge and grabbed a can of pop. Snapping the tab open he listened as some girl rambled on and on about the stuff he had missed at school. Rolling his eyes again his pressed another button, skipping the ongoing message.

"Hey Kai, just thought I'd give you an update. Max has gone into counseling so beware what you talk about with him…I hope you're doing ok…. Phone me back if you get a chance." Kai watched the phone as Reis voice spoke to him with a little bit of weariness. Kai shook his head and pressed the '' button, turning off the answering machine.

"Good, Max got help." Kai thought to himself, throwing the empty can into the garbage can that sat in the corner. Walking silently down the hall he made his way into his dark bedroom. Come to think of it, almost every room in Kais apartment was dark.

But that's what calmed him now. He had gone through a bad time after the crash, not trusting anyone and blaming the first person he saw for everything. But now, he had chilled a bit and was getting better. But he still didn't feel right. But who would, I mean it was like he had lost his little sister in the crash.

That's what Hillary had been to him, his little sister that he felt he needed to protect. And when he had failed her, he had felt so guilty that it had consumed him, making him turn on everyone else. But he had come to terms with the problem and was dealing with it by separating himself from everyone else.

Without even changing into pajama's Kai climbed into bed and instantly fell asleep.

Kai was alone at the harbor, sitting on the cement wall, legs dangling over the side. A strong ocean wind whipped his hair around and stung his eyes a bit.

The harbor had always been Kais favorite place to go. It was calm and the water was always so understanding. Kai felt like he could really feel at peace when near the ocean.

So why was he there now?

Normally he had nightmares about haunted forests and the field that Hillary had died in. Why such a nice place now?

"Guess I'll wait and find out." Kai said to himself, watching as two fishermen brought their boat into the harbor.

A few minutes of serene silence passed until Kai herd footsteps approaching from behind him. Deciding not to make any actions, and to just let the person pass he closed his eyes and let out a depressed sigh. But his keen ears didn't hear the person walk by him, whoever it was had taken a seat beside him on the harbor wall.

Keeping calm he opened his eyes slowly and turned his head towards the stranger. Kai wasn't sure what to expect but of all things possible, a brown haired, familiar teen was the last thing he would have thought of.

Jumping in his seat slightly, Kai stared in awe, his mind racing to figure out what was now going on.

"I must be imagining things. Well of course I'm imagining things, this is one of my dreams. But what is she doing here?" He fought with himself in his head. The brunette girl, also known as the recently deceased Hillary, smiled cleverly and crossed her legs, looking out to the sea.

"To answer your first question," Kais eyes grew wide as she began to talk in a happy and clam voice. "I chose the harbor because I knew you had a lot of things on your mind and you always seamed to be able to think better here." She folded her hands in her lap and continued to look out to the water while Kai stared at her in amazement. "And as for your second question, I'm here to talk to you." She said quietly, finally turning her head to look Kai in the eyes. She grinned mischievously and waited for some sort of recognition. Shaking his head slightly Kai wiped his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows.

"So.. Uh.. You're here… you're dead right?" he stammered, as Hillary smiled widely. For the first time ever Kai was at a loss for words.

"Yeah I'm dead. Shame isn't it? But when people die, they aren't gone. They're just somewhere else." She said wisely, leaning back on her elbows and letting the wind blow her hair around. She was starting to enjoy this making these guys confused. Hillary closed her eyes as she heard Kais jumbled thoughts buzzing through her own head, a million words a minute. Opening her eyes once more she placed a hand on her forehead and sighed.

"Stop…thinking for a minute, you're screwing me up." She commanded, squinting slightly at the sun that had begun to rise over the horizon. Slowly the hundreds of questions stopped and Hillary was able to think straight.

"How have you been? And be truthful. Brothers never lie to their sisters." She said seriously, turning to face Kai. "Or at least they shouldn't." She added with a smile.

Kai didn't even bother to ask her how she knew that he thought of her as a sister, instead he sighed once more and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

"It's been hard. For all of us." Kai answered quietly, "You left so quickly."

Hillary smiled sadly, pulling her knees up to her chest.

"I know I did. And I didn't appreciate it either. You think you guys had it bad? I had the pain of watching you be miserable, and not being able to do anything to comfort you. I watched you all suffer and that's what hurt the most. Not being dead, but watching you guys be in pain." She whispered lightly, as tears began to rise in her eyes, blurring her vision. But she quickly blinked back the tears and put a smile on her face.

"But lets not talk about that." She said happily, disguising the sorrow with cheerfulness. "Have you kept in contact with the others?" She asked, knowing full well that he hadn't. A look of shame came across his face, causing his bright eyes to dull. Hillary raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"Well you know what." She stated, a tone of authority in her voice. "I want you to call them tomorrow and tell them about this dream, see what they think. Alright?" Hillary asked, standing up and brushing her skirt off. Her mahogany eyes gleamed with unshed tears. Kai just nodded solemnly, not wanting to say goodbye again.

"Don't worry," Hillary whispered kindly, reading his mind. "I'm coming back soon!"
