Deceased With a Chance @ Love by Dianna J. Torres (books to read for teens TXT) 📖

the last two words as if she had said them.
“Okay okay I’ll talk normal that can really get annoying.” Her arms were tight to her side and her hands were in her pockets. “So what do we do now?”
I looked up at her and said, “Honestly. I have no idea but I think I know how you can start to help me.”
“How?” She asked.
I touched the grass next to me and she sat next to me. “Okay so you know who my cousin is right?”
“Yeah didn’t everyone?” I smiled.
“Yeah kinda. Anyway, you have to bring him to the middle of the hill. I’ll be laying down looking up at the stars but when he tries to leave tell him I here. Okay.”
Alex looked confused. “What he’s never going to want to talk to me. He hates me along with all of your friends remember?”
“Yeah what’s your point?” I said with a smile on my face.
“The point is that he is not going to want to talk to me let alone see me. Are you being serious right now? You want me to talk to someone that hates my guts?”
“Mhhhm” I made a sad face and said “Please it’ll be the one thing I’ll actually appreciate.”
“Fine, fine, is this going to help me get into heaven?”
“I don’t know I bet it depends on how bad you’ve been, and from what people used to tell me. You weren’t such a good girl.”
“Yeah I know.” Alex looked over at me, her hat was to the side and her hands were now near my leg. I looked over to her and saw that she stared at me.
“What? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” I laughed but Alex didn’t. “Hey I was just kidding girl. Hey,” I ran my hand in front of her face she didn’t even blink. “Alex okay your scaring me a little.” I pushed myself up that’s when Alex got up and her hand touched my cheek. I looked at her as if I couldn’t look away. Even after death, I felt my cheeks turn red. Her other hand rested on my hip. Alex’s stomach touched mine that’s when her lips reached mine. I felt her blood through her lips. Her warmth found it’s way through me.
I felt every nerve in my body tingle. Was that even normal? Maybe not because for a long time I wasn’t normal. Actually I never was normal. Hmm, weird.
I pushed myself away and said “Alex what the hell are you doing?”
Alex looked up at me and her fingers traced her lips. “I kissed you that’s what I was doing.”
“Well don’t do that ever again. It’s wrong and people will think you’ve gone crazy.”
“I don’t really give a shit. Can I kiss you again?” Her hand moved away from her lips.
“No, Alex it’s wrong. I’m technically not even here.” she moved closer to me then I pushed her away. “Just go please do me this one favor for me. It’s the least you can do, don’t you think?”
“No I don’t think so. Kiss me and I’ll do it.” She moved closer to me, I took a step back.
I looked up at the stars and wondered why? “Fine but if I do this you’re going to talk to him right?”
“Yep.”
“Fine.” I slid my hand under her chin and kissed her. I moved my hands and held them behind her neck. Her hands were at my waist. I broke away and moved my head, then kissed her again. I bit her lip and pushed my lips to hers. I broke my grip and stepped back. I licked my lips and rested my hands on my side and said “Now go I have to get this done because I only have so long.”
“Okay a promise is a promise.” Alex held her hand out I took it and she pulled me toward her and kissed the corner of my lips. Damn it her kisses taunted me so much. Even though, I could be hurt but it seemed to me now that she really did change she has.
“You love my kisses. I know you do. I can feel it in my soul. That’s if I even have one.” Her hands fell down to her sides.
“Alex you do. Don’t be like that. Who said you don’t?” My hand reached to her shoulder.
“My family, Jessica, and my grandma.” her words came out as if with shame.
“Ohh…well maybe I can change your grandma’s mind but I can’t change your family’s mind. Or the hoe’s mind. Eww just thinking about her makes me queasy.” I had a thought in mind. “What if we go see where your grandma? Where was she last at? I could talk to her and maybe that could bring peace to her soul.”
Alex’s eyes raised up, “Would you really do that for me? After all you’ve been through? aren’t you supposed to be working on your unsolved missions.”
“Yeah of course, I have to do my thing but, you also have to think about her what if this is the reason she hasn‘t crossed over.” I said sternly. “So uhh, where was the last place your grandma was at?”
Alex thought and said “Her house, and the hospital but she never liked the hospital. She found it depressing and gray.”
“Alright to your grandma’s house.”
Chapter 2
Either this works or not, but we have nothing to loose, besides our love.
I arrived upon Alex’s house there was darkness, but that may have been because it was night outside and there was no light in sight. Alex’s car came to a slow stop. She got and I just shook my head to the sides at her I was here before her and told her to follow me. I walked through the door but she was getting her keys out. I walked her to the living room, and she sat down her legs wide open as if she had guy junk. I whispered “No one’s here but your grandma is.”
Alex sat up straight and I walked to the kitchen I saw Alex’s grandma cutting up carrots, “Penny?”
“Get out of my kitchen tell Alex to leave too, I want nothing to do with her.”
I gulped and said “Okay but Alex said that she is sorry for being her and trying to better herself. You know what she’s been through?”
Penny wiped her brow and said “Yeah whoring around like she’s going to be young forever? Drinking smoking, cheating? Yeah I think I know.”
I thought about it and let it all go. “Well yeah, but she’s changed.”
“Really?” Penny looked up and stabbed the knife onto the board cutter. “Ask her what she did, before the game, or this morning. Oh and let’s not forget this one, ask her why Yari and her broke up?” Penny took the knife and proceeded cutting. I looked at her and turned around and started to walk out when she said “Good riddance.”
I turned around and said “Alright look, it isn’t my fault that Alex wants you to be in peace alright have you ever thought about someone aside from yourself? Don’t you think Alex feels bad for hurting you? She can’t change who she is. Have you ever thought that maybe God made her like this for a reason? And if you hate me fine, but stop wasting my time with all your bullshit because your grand-daughter cares about what happens to you.” I took in a breath and walked out to Alex feeling pissed, but I didn’t say I was I just said “It went great.”
After I had gotten done Alex’s grandma walked out and said “No it didn’t.” Alex looked pale white, of course she was already a little white cause she’s a half! But right know she looked so pale, that I couldn’t even see her freckles.
“Gra……grandma?” I pulled Alex up and she stood next to me. Not moving not doing anything.
“Yes Alexandra it’s me. Honey look I just wanted to say I’m sorry for being mean to you when I was alive, you didn’t deserve it. And I’m sorry you felt like you had to hide being who you are. But now you don’t have to and I love you honey.” Alex just stood there and her grandma walked to her and hugged her. Penny was a little big she had red-ish brown hair had green eyes and chubby wrists. It reminded me of some one but, I’m starting to forget who. I went outside while Alex listened to her grandma because I don’t think Alex was in the talking mood. She’s speechless. I started to walk around the house, because I couldn’t remember my family member’s faces. This was bad, I could only remember Lalo and that was it. A faint light came down in front of me I stopped and saw it was Brandon, Amanda, and Devon. “Hey guys what’s up?”
Amanda walked away from the guys and said “Your starting to forget and that’s bad.”
Brandon came behind her and said “Pretty soon you won’t be able to remember your mission. You have to get it done.”
Devon came beside Amanda and said “I recommend that you get it done ASAP, if not…….”
“What? If not what?” My hand came to my lips I started to bite my thumb.
“If not you won’t be able to move on. And you’ll get sent to hell.”
I gulped and ran those words through my head. I looked all around me. “So what do I do? I’m helping Alex after this she’s going to help me.”
Brandon put his arm around me and said “If we could help souls we would but we can’t we’re only supposed to help ourselves to move on, talk to her and tell her to get it done.”
Amanda and Devon said “Now.”
“Okay okay, I’ll try but this is hard what do I do if something happens? You guys only come when you want to not when I need you.”
“Here is this heart, and this crystal ball. You can only use the crystal ball once.” said Devon
“So if you use the ball your done fore. Plus you shouldn’t need it unless your done with your mission and your ready to leave. Oh yeah and the heart ball is to affect moods, so if something were to happen use it.” Brandon said.
“And if you do use it ahead of when your supposed to, it will shatter and you will roam the earth forever without anyone being able to see you.”
“Okay no pressure.” I said
“Well,” said Amanda “there is pressure cause it’s your soul at stake. Of course God wants all his children to come home but, you know how people are now a days.”
“Yeah I know I’m…..I was one of them, still kind of am. Let’s just say that Alex doesn’t come through?”
“What?” Alex said.
“Uhh nothing Alex, I was just talking to them.” My hand moved to show where Amanda, Brandon, and Devon were at.
“Dianna there’s no one there.”
I moved my head sideways and said “They are right here, you can’t see them can you?”
Amanda said “She won’t be able to see us unless she feels compassion for others, that’s why she’s scared to be herself. She didn’t tell you did she?”
“Tell me what? I moved closer to Amanda.
“Dianna what are they saying?” asked Alex with a scared tone.
“Shh!” I said.
“Ask her why she’s scared and why she can’t see us.” said Brandon sternly.
“Just tell me, please.” I implored.
“Ask her.” said Devon.
“Alex why can’t you see Amanda, Brandon, or Devon?” I walked closer to Alex.
“What…what….why are you asking me this?”
“They’re saying your not telling me something what is it?”
