I was so excited. my friend and I were going to have a sleepover.(I was only 5 at the time.)Anyway my mom started crying cause she thought I was growing up to fast, so she gave me a camera to take pictures to put in the scapbook. We had loads of fun,and I took tons of pictures. Then it was time to go to bed.I took one last picture and fell asleep. The next morning my friends mom and my friend and I took the pictures to get developed. MY friends mom drove me home cause my friend started foaming and crying. When I got home I ran down to my room in the basement to look at the pictures.Iopened the packedge and first saw a boy staring at me. He was in the picture.I didn't know him. He wasn't at the sleepover. I spent the whole day cuddled up in the corner. Night came and I fell asleep. In the morning I went to look at the pictures again. They weren't there. I literally tore my room apartlooking for them. I asked my mom if she knew where they were. She said "You took pictures at the party. Did you use julies camera." I said yes and left the room.
ten years past. I went to the mall with the same friend and I saw the boy again. Only this time in the flesh. He came over to me in the food court and asked me out. I agreed and he left.
We dated for abuot a year. One night we decided to go up to the cliffs. On the way there a deer got in the way of thecar and we drove off the ledge.I was fine. The boy ,jack, was not.He died.
I went home after being in the hospital. I went strait down to my room to find that on my bed were the pictures I had lost ten years before.
Jacks face continued to stare at me. I went to my brother to see if he did it. He said no, and he doesn't lie.
I didn't want to see the pictures again,so I drove to my friends house.she and I were sitting on the couch. and out of the blue she told me why she started foaming. Those ten years ago.
She had seen a boy leen down and kiss me on the cheek.She began crying. leand over and comforted her. she whaled out tha t she sees him standing next to me every time she sees me. He was there with us right then. I sped home and ran to the refuge of my room.I threw myself on the bed and cried myself to sleep.
It was 3:00 A.M. I woke up and turned my light on then went to the mirror to clean up my smeared make-up. As I looked into the glare of the mirror I saw the boy. he leaned down and kissed me on the lips then handed me the photos that fell of my bed. He kissed me again and vanished.
I still see him occasionally in the mirror. Sandy, my friend Still sees him too. It's Whenever she looks at me. Jack comes to me in the night and runs his fingers through my hair.
I am now 24 years old. my new boyfriend, max, has asked me to marry him but I never say yes. He understands what I'm going through adn always remains loyal to me.
Jack now comes to me and cries every time he runs his fingers through my hair.
