It's been a long time since one of my old buddy passed away. She and I met during our secondary school years. Her name was Michelle Duncen, yet she went by Shelley. She loved the name Shelley. We were closest companions, we did sleepover parties, and dealt with school projects together. We were like sisters!

After we Finished secondary school, we went to a similar school. She generally wanted to assist me with projects at school. After school, she concentrated in law enforcement in the long run she found a new line of work as a crime analyst, however while dealing with a homicide case… ., she was shot. She came to the emergency clinic, yet she soon kicked the bucket in my arms… Her last desire was for me to return to the spot we initially met.

I was as yet crushed from her passing that I was unable to contain myself from crying once I arrived at the spot we met… We met at an exceptionally old kids' park that was supposed to be spooky at this point. I needed to go see the reason why she believed me should go to that park.

When I arrived, it felt cold and dim. All the grass and blossoms were dead, and the trees were breaking. I proceeded to the primary piece of the recreation area and saw somebody sitting at the old swings. I began to stroll towards them gradually, however I understood it was… SHELLEY?!?

I was unable to accept my eyes, how could she be here?? She kicked the bucket in my arms a long time back, I was so befuddled! I hurried to her with practically no thought, yet when I got to the swings, she wasn't there any longer. I glanced around and she was no place to be seen. I surmise my eyes were beguiling, so I scoured them to have an unmistakable vision. At the point when I was finished scouring them, I saw Shelley directly before me. 'Hi, Lily!', said Shelley enthusiastically. I hopped at the abrupt hello.

'Shelley? Is that you??', I asked her, befuddled. 'Indeed, Lily! It's me!', she said cheerfully. She came dependent upon me and gave me a major embrace. My eyes enlarged, she was genuine, there with me, I don't have any idea how, yet she was there with me. I embraced her back with tears returning to my face. 'Lily, I need to show you something.', Shelley told me.

She held her hand up to the air and a brilliant light was showing up in her grasp and before long went all around the recreation area. The light went up and made all that in the recreation area green and brilliant. The grass and blossoms were alive once more and the jungle gym of the recreation area was youthful and fixed once more. My eyes extended with fervor. 'Hold up! I didn't realize you could do that!', I told Shelley.

'I didn't before I kicked the bucket, however since I'm a soul, I can!', Shelley shared with me while strolling to the wellspring and plunking down. 'So time to get up to speed! How have you been since I've passed on?', 'Indeed, everything's been okay. I got two new sweethearts.', 'Gracious, what happened to Drew and Matt?', 'The two of them undermined me… ', I said tragically. 'Gracious… , however are your new sweethearts treating you right?', 'No doubt, they're way more pleasant and cuter than Drew and Matt!', 'That is great!', 'I additionally met Effortlessness ', 'Who's Elegance?', Shelley asked me. 'Goodness, she is my new companion! She works at a café and is likewise a - ', 'All in all, you've previously supplanted me..?', 'What? No! You're as yet my dearest companion, Shell-', 'DON'T Mislead ME!! YOU Supplanted ME!' Shelley said irately.

At the point when she hollered at me, I tumbled to the ground frightened. 'Shelley, I didn't supplant you! No doubt, I just met Effortlessness a couple of months prior!', 'I ought to have known when I kicked the bucket, you would have supplanted me! UGH!', Shelley said. She put her hands on her head and everything around us was returning to ordinary, however it was all the more dead and dark roses were developing around us alongside dead red roses.

I glanced back at Shelley and her hair changed colors alongside her dress. Her hair was dark and her apparel was dim and dark. After she changed colors, she put her gives over and inclined her back forward like a cloth doll. She just remained there for some time. I got up and made one stride towards her, however she shot her head up and checked out at me with dark and red eyes. Her face was sewed up now and she had this dreadful grin. She rushed at me.

I shot up from that picture and shouted. I glanced around, frightened, to see that I was in my bed and murmured 'That was only a fantasy… ', I took a gander at the time and it was very nearly 4 am in the first part of the day. I took a gander at my hands and they were shaking. I glanced over to my light and turned it on. When I turned on the light, I saw a note. I checked out at it and acknowledged what it was. I read the note without holding back to myself.

Dear Lily,

Much obliged to you for being my closest companion since secondary school! I realize we haven't hang out in that frame of mind since I'm an analyst and working the entire day, yet we can accomplish something together! I need to thank you for all that and needed to let you know that I'm getting hitched as well! I simply trust we can talk so I can let you know more! Additionally, assuming something were have happened to me at work, I realize you'll be alright without me, on the off chance that you truly do make another closest companion, I would be your phantom help!

I desire to see you soon, best bud!

~ Shelley Duncen

I began to cry. I went to the recreation area and finding this! I pondered who the spouse was… I trusted I could see him sooner or later in my life… , however when she said on the off chance that she passed on during work… I surmise I was dreaming about her getting desirous… I set the note back on my night stand and just lay there in my own considerations. I wish I realized who killed my dearest companion… Perhaps I could discover that.
