Chapter 4
A Month Later
Tiffany's View
"I love you too Mom," I said sadly.
"I'll talk to you later honey," my Mom said.
"OK, bye," I said.
"Bye," she said. I clicked the phone off and sighed. I just got done talking
to my Mom as you can see. She was really worried about me. I just told her
that I was fine but of course that's the biggest lie that I could ever say.
Michelle went out with Nick and Darlene an hour ago so I'm the only one in
this huge house. I sat quietly on the couch thinking about what I've been
thinking about lately, Suicide. It seems so right. I mean Brian's gone so
what am I living for? Yeah I know there's Michelle and my son that's growing
inside me but I just can't take this anymore.
I got up from the couch and walked slowly to the stairs. I climbed the stairs
slowly and went to my room. I closed the door and headed to the bathroom.
I closed that door behind me and looked in the mirror. I rubbed my stomach
gently and said, "I'm sorry."
Brian's View
"Tiffany what are you doing!?" I yelled franticly.
I was looking at her in horror as she opened the cabinet and pulled out her
medicine. She opened the lid and let it drop to the floor.
"Oh My God! Tiffany! Don't do this!" I yelled. She
just didn't hear me. She dumped all the pills onto her hand and looked at
them.
"God Dammit Tiffany!" I yelled. I can't let her do
this! She's going to kill herself and our son. I am not going to just sit
here and watch as she throws her life and my son's life away.
Tiffany's View
I looked at the pills in my hand thinking about what it would do to me. Should
I really do this? Of course I should! I'll be able to see Brian again! I
swallowed hard and looked up at the mirror. My eyes widened as I saw the
bluest eyes that only one person could ever possess. That's all I could see,
just eyes, nothing else.
"BRIAN!?" I screamed. I watched as he slowly formed into his entire self.
He looked at the mirror in shock. He looked down at himself and just about
fell down from complete shock. I looked at him and backed away. Tears were
falling down my face and I was about to faint.
"Tiffany," Brian said softly. He reached out for me but I just backed up
against the door trying to get out. I felt for the knob behind my back and
turned it. I opened it and ran out.
"Tiffany came back! It's me!" I heard behind me. I ran down the hall and
to the bathroom next to Michelle's room. I slammed the door and sunk to the
floor with my back pressed against it. I was breathing heavily and I was
crying uncontrollably. To sum it up. I was scared to death.
"Tiffany? Baby where are you? It's me!" I heard from down the hall. Just
then I heard a knock on the door. I held my breath thinking that this THING
would go away. This is just your imagination.
"Tiffany? Please open the door," I heard on the other side of the door.
Brian's View
I can't believe it worked! I made myself be seen! Not
only that but I'm also human! The only bad thing is that Tiffany is scared
to death of me and she won't open the bathroom door. Doesn't she know that
it's me?
"Tiffany please open the door. It's me Brian. Your
baby duck," I said softly. I was sitting in front of the door trying to persuade
her to come out. It's not working.
"GO AWAY!" I heard her yell.
"Why? Aren't you glad that I'm back?"
"WHAT!? GET OUT! I DON'T KNOW YOU!"
"Tiffany it's me Brian!" I said.
"No your not! My Brian is dead and is never coming
back! Get out before I call the police!" She yelled.
"Tiffany please. You got to believe me."
"GET OUT!" she screamed.
"What do I have to do to get you to open the
door?"
"GET OUT!!!!" she screamed.
"Please Tiffany," I begged I was beginning to
cry.
Tiffany's View
That sounds so much like Brian's cry. What if it is him? Tiffany what are
you talking about! Brian is dead!
"Please just open the door," I heard him say softly. I backed away from the
door and faced it. I was pondering whether to open it or not.
"OK, Ask me a question that only your Brian would know and I'll answer it.
If I get it right you have to open the door," he said. I swallowed and wondered
if I really should do that.
"Um OK," I said with my voice shaking.
"What would we fight about on nights that we were bored and there was nothing
to do?"
"That one's easy. Whenever I was home and Michelle was sleeping and we had
nothing planned for the night we would fight over MTV and ESPN. You would
always want to watch MTV and I would always want to watch ESPN. Neither of
us really won. We ended up in the bedroom half the time," he said laughing.
OMG! No one knows about that! Not even Darlene and Nick. I reached for the
doorknob and unlocked it. I opened the door and peeked out. Brian was smiling
at me with tears streaming down his face. I opened the door wider and just
looked at him.
"Brian?" I asked so quietly I'm surprised he even heard it.
"It's me princess," he smiled. New tears then started to fall down my face.
I came out of the bathroom and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped
his arms around my waist and squeezed me tight.
"I can't believe it's you! I missed you so much!" I cried.
"I missed you too," he cried. He pulled away and held my face in his hands.
He looked at me smiling with tears falling from his eyes. He brought his
lips to mine and kissed me. I kissed back not believing that he was actually
here. This better not be a dream or I'll die when I wake up.
