Where Are You?
Chapter Four (Part Three)
Lena, Timra (Special) Eli
Lena
I was listening
to my dad talking about Timra up front when I thought I saw Timra
standing there… Again with Eli. I was just staring at them
when Aaron elbowed me.
“Huh?” I looked at him
“It’s your turn to speak” Aaron smiled
softly
“What?” I was dumbfounded “I don’t have a
speech”
“Just speak from the heart” Aaron smiled at me
I stood up and walked up to the podium.
I cleared my throat “Timra was my best friend. She was my
twin. When I found out what she did I didn’t quite
understand what was going on. I was numb. I didn’t read the
letter she left me, I know that Elyssa didn’t either. She
gave it to me unopened. She didn’t- doesn’t want to
read it. I opened Timra’s letter but I never read it.
Timra’s death caused me so much pain that I unofficially
moved out of my home to avoid all reminders of her. I miss
her more than life. I feel as though my heart is incomplete
without her. I feel as though it was my fault because I
haven’t talked to her in two months and I am so
guilty. Timra I am so sorry.” I whispered the last part
while looking away from the spot I thought I was seeing
Timra.
Timra
During the last
part of Lena’s speech my mouth dropped open.
“See, she cares, and she thinks your suicide is her
fault.” Eli said from next to me looking at Lena
lovingly.
“I don’t want to see anymore” I stood u p and
walked away knowing Eli would follow me
“Timra! Wait!” Eli called after me
“What?!” I screamed at him
“Please just calm down” Eli peaded
“Sorry” I mumbled
“Its okay” Eli ran his fingers through his hair
“Do you love Lena?” I asked quickly
“Do I what?” Eli looked at me, stunned.
“Do you love her? Is that why you have stuck around
here?” I asked again
“Yes” Eli whispered
“What happened?” I asked
“I was sick. I told her not to tell anyone. Before I died
she came to visit me everyday” Eli smiled softly “She
was there when it happened… I mean when I died. She told
me, maybe a week before I died that if I came back to be a ghost
that I’d have to watch over you when she couldn’t.
That night when she stormed out of your house to the park she
asked me to watch you.”
“She can see you?!” I asked with hope in my voice
“No, well I don’t know. I’ve never gotten in
her line of sight.” Eli looked at me and smiled softly.
“You miss talking to her.” It wasn’t a question
but a statement.
“Yeah. I mean she talks to me all the time, like she knows
I’m there but she cant hear me reply.” Eli
sighed.
“Come on. I’m gonna take you home.” Eli grabbed
my hand and started walking me home.
When we finally got home Eli helped me get through the wall.
“I’m gonna go watch Lena” Eli walked away.
Eli
I walked over
to Aarons house to watch Lena for a little while. To make sure
she is alright with the whole Timra thing. I still cant believe
Timra killed herself. It breaks my heart to see Lena so
heartbroken. When I finally arrived at Aaron’s house I
noticed that Aaron’s car wasn’t there. I let myself
in anyways. When I got inside I went upstairs to where I
heard the water running in the bathroom. Aaron must be at work. I
decided to go into the bathroom because it was the bathroom sink
and I’m sure she would be dressed. When I got in I
couldn’t believe my eyes. My beautiful Lena had a blade
held to her wrist with cuts all up her arm. I rushed out of the
bathroom crying and I could’ve sworn I heard Lena say
“Eli?” with a panicked
voice.
