Hi, my name is Darcie, and this is my first book that I've written. I am excited to hear you're thoughts on it. Hope you enjoy :)
Prologue
Everything was going smoothly, thank God. But then I saw her. I froze. She was back. I felt warm tears streaming down my cheeks as i stared at her. How? Why? Why now?
She knew. Well, of course she knew. We'd been planning this day for months. It was my fourteenth birthday party after all. But then it happened, and everything changed. And now she's back.
All the memories came flooding back.
The screaming.
The crying.
The prosses of letting go.
The room went blurry and the noises went muffled, like I'd fell into water, and was being pulled down. Why? Why tonight? Of all nights? I leaned against the wall, and slid down to the floor.
"Mabel?" It was Barney "You ok?" I shook my head as he helped me up. She was gone. As I stared into the spot which she had been stood. Barney followed my gaze to look where she had stood, but seeing nothing. "May? Mabel? What's wrong?" I wish I could explain properly, but I couldn't speak properly, my voice wasn't working.
"I saw her" I finally gasped.
"Who?"
"Shira! I saw Shira! Over there" I motioned to the spot where she stood. Tears raced down my cheek. Barney handed me a tissue and smiled sadly.
"May..."
"No! No, I saw her"
"May, Shira's dead! Please don't do this to yourself!"
"No, I just saw her! She was over there, Staring at me dead serious, wearing the dress we...we..." my voice trailed off. The dress we bought her to wear tonight.
"May, stop!" He hissed, pulling me to the side of the room. " Look, please just get through tonight, please?"
I nodded
"Thank you. Now relax, Just have some fun"
I nodded again. But I knew exactly what I saw. And I saw my best friend, starring back at me.
No ones taking that away from me.
