3 What happened?!

I was rudely awoken by someone knocking on my front door. Mom and dad were on vacation and Jackie went out to get things ready for his date with Addison, the stuck up cheerleader. I looked through the peep hole it was Cynthia's brother and Bethany.

"Eric! Open up!" Bethany yelled through the door. I opened the door, they looked distressed. It looked as if they both cried before coming to my house. Bethany handed me an envelope addressed to me, my heart started to race.

"W- what is it?" It was from Cynthia I opened the letter.

Dear Eric,

I love you. I hope you live better without me. I hope your new girl-friend treats you well. I'm sorry I wasn't the girlfriend you wanted but I can't stand all the pain. When I finally put one to the side another one come and breaks my heart. I really loved you. I had planned a party for when you graduate. I guess you won't need that. Bye, see you on the other side....

Love, Cynthia.

I looked at Bethany and Alex. I couldn't be true, it's just a prank. Bethany shook her head and started crying.

"Cynthia's gone." She sobbed. I felt terrible, the break up hurt her that badly. I didn't want to break up, I just needed time. Time to think about college. I guess I approached her the wrong way. Wait a minute...MY POST! Oh. My. God. I am so stupid! I should not have drunk last night!

"It's partially my fault. I told her that I wanted to break up but actually, I was hoping to take a break and focus on college but I guess I approached the situation in a wrong way." I looked at Christian. Fury was written all over his face.

"WHY YOU LITTLE---!" He was prepared to fight. All the things Cynthia said about him being the worst brother ever seemed to be wrong he cared for her deeply. I sighed.

"Christian! Stop! Cynthia wouldn't want this! She loved him!" Christian hugged her.

"S- sorry. It was an instinct." He blushed. It seemed as if Christian liked Bethany. It was possible.

"We have to go. Please stop by anytime to help her family cope with their loss." Bethany said, then walked off with Christian tagging behind her. I can't believe it. My beautiful flower took her life probably because of my post. I called Jasmine.

"Hello? Hey babe." What?

"Jasmine, we are not dating. Now cut the crap, did you know Cynthia?" There was a long pause.

"C- Cynthia? Yea, she was a freak, a nerd." My heart ached when she called Cynthia a freak.

"She's not a freak! She's beautiful. She was the most amazing, perfect women." My head swarmed with memories of Cynthia.

"Why'd you call me? Was it to tell me how the freak was important to you? If yes well, then you're a waste of my time. Byeee--" My heart raced.

"SHE'S DEAD!" I screamed through the phone then cried. There was a long pause but I didn't care. It hurt to know Cynthia left me.

"About tim--- I mean, Oh my I feel so bad for you. Want to talk about it?" A wave of memories went through my head as I spoke. Eventually, I fell asleep on the floor of the living room.

Sobbing. I heard sobbing but, I wasn't sure if it was me. I looked around. Cynthia! She was on the floor crying. I ran to her, I reached my hand out to touch her shoulder but, she disappeared. She kept reappearing in a different mood but they all showed pain and regret.

"I hope you rot in hell!" That wasn't Cynthia. I turned. Jessica was beating up Cynthia.

"Get your hands off of her!" I kept yelling this but it was as if she couldn't hear me. I ran up to her and punched her.

"Nice of you to finally care for me, Eric." Cynthia got up covered in blood. Her eyes and voice were not hers. Every time she stepped towards me I backed up. Cynthia had a devilish grin on her face.

"I hope you die in hell!" She yelled. Then, she pushed me. I was falling but it seemed endless. Cynthia's laughter echoed. It got louder every minute.

"No! Stop! This isn't you!!!" My ears were ringing. The laughter only got louder and louder.

"Eric? Eric? Bro, you good?" Jackie shook me awake. He and Addison looked at me concerned.

"Um yeah, bro. I'm just not in the mood." I wiped the tears from my eye.

"I know. Cynthia's gone. At least she's in a better place now." I looked at him straight in the eyes.

"A better place?! A better place for her was in my arms! She should be here with me!" Addison smirked.

"Eric better check that drunk post again because it looks like you're dating that other girl. We will miss Cynthia she was always really sweet." She wasn't wrong my post did seem that way. Stupid, stupid, Stupid, why did I even post it?! I got jealous... now she thought I dated Jasmine because of the post. I checked my phone the call with Jasmine ended a while ago.

"I'm not going out today. I have to make things right."

"Dude, she is dead. You cannot go beyond the grave and contact her...."
