Freya’s Pov

My soul is gone from my body. I feel absolutely numb, I didn’t get a second chance what for anyways,my life is ruined right now I have no reason to want to a second chance I have nothing to live for anymore.
Maybe if this was some novel or film I would be saved but sadly this is the story of my life this is reality, we don’t always get second chances we don’t always have extra time to do the right thing,i repented but sadly it was too late for me sadly it was too late for my soul but it can’t be too late for everyone else,you should live life like its your last day on earth because you never know when death knocks and by then there would be no second chances.
I stared at my lifeless body dangling from the ceiling until the warden rushed in as she untied me tears rolling down her cheeks as she held my cold body, they only cry when you’re gone no one appreciates you but when you finally leave they cry like you meant the world to them, she screamed out loud when she checked my pulse but it was gone just like I was I have no idea how much time I have on this earth but what I am sure of is that I’ll use it to do the right thing.
Being a ghost does have its perks since I was finally able to get out from my cell as they carried my lifeless body to the morgue.
I felt myself slipping totally from this world but I just needed to do one last thing and then I can finally be at peace with mankind and with myself.
I headed straight to Jennifer’s cell where she was sleeping peacefully.

“I’m so sorry I ruined your life… I said sitting on her bed.

“You deserve much better than this just let go of everything and open your heart to forgive… I muttered as she woke up.

“Freyaaaa… She screamed panting as I disappeared slowly and finally to rest for my time in the world has expired.

Kierra’s Pov

The sun rays hit my skin as I used my palms to deflect them away from me, I couldn’t even dream of moving as Xander’s body was pressed firmly against mine as we remained in the same position as last night.

“Good morning… He said slowly as I shifted.

“Hmm it’s a good morning right… I said as he chukled deeply

“What time is your competition anyways.

“About 8 am… I said trying to get up

“Well what time is it..

“Only…holy sh*t we over slept it’s 7 already… I said getting up from the bed using my hands to pack my hair.

“Go freshen up first hurtful up Xander… I screamed trying to get my clothes ready.

“We’ll make it there in time Kierra just calm down everything would be fine… He said smoothing my hair.

“Yeah everything would be fine.

 

Everything is totally not fine, it’s almost eight and Xander is still not ready yet what in hell’s name could be keeping him away in his room.
I climbed up the stairs slowly opening up the door to his room to meet his head buried in his palms,his phone by his side as he remained silent in the room.

“Xander what’s wrong… I said moving closer.

“If it’s about the competition I told you I won’t win.

“Freya’s dead Kierra… He said as I gasped in shock stumbling backward.

“What!…i said as hot tears streamed down my cheeks.

“You’re joking right… I said sobbing as Xander raised his head up,a tear rolling down his cheeks.

“She’s gone Kierra… He said as I moved to hug him tightly.

“Shhhh …its okay… I tried to say but my tears said a different thing as they couldn’t stop pouring.

“It’s my fault… They said she committed suicide it’s my fault I drove her to commit suicide it’s all my fault… He says sighing.

“It’s not your fault Xander if anyone is at fault it should be me I turned her in I should have given her a second chance but I was too damn angry to even think straight and now she’s gone it’s all my fault… I said sobbing hard.

“I may not love her anymore but there was a time when I really did love her Kierra and it hurts to know that I’ll never see her again why couldn’t she just wait a while why did she have to result to suicide why why why!… He screamed hitting the bed.

“Xander please calm down Common let’s get some rest.

“No your competition I’ll drive you I promised.

“I reality can’t sing right now xander don’t even think about it I don’t wanna go… I said hugging him as the door opened up Maya walking in.

“I just got the call Kate is a mess… She said kneeling to my level.

“We need to get going Kierra has a competition remember.

“No Xander I don’t want to go,besides you’re in no position to drive right now.

“Kierra is right xander.

“No I won’t let her miss it we’ve come too far…

“I’ll drive her then I took Max’s car Kate is with chase at our place I’ll tell max to meet you up here then I’ll take Kierra and we’ll meet at their place when we’re done.

“No no no I don’t want to..

“Kierra please just put your heart into it and sing please… Xander said holding my hands as the tears kept spilling.

“I’ll try

“Promise me..

“I promise… I said hugging him tightly before leaving with Maya.

 

Since it was pretty late I was sure we would be disqualified by now but I guess I was wrong since I got there in time and I was even contestant number 8.
I was nervous as hell but I just had to do this and get it over with so I’ll finally go be with Xander.
It finally got to my turn to sing,with shivering hands and leg I was able to make it to the stand to grab the mic but yet impossible by shontelle didn’t come out and as always I let my emotions get the better of me and sang whatever I thought of.

 

🎶I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there become so tired so much more aware… I sang on as the crowd went up in uproar while I went to my seat.

“That was beautiful Kierra… Maya said hugging me tightly

“Rip Freya… I said sighing.

“Contestant number 9..the PA announced after me.

Coincidentally she actually sang impossible by shontelle only she actually went off key at some point and I guess I would have done same.

“Okay now that we’re all done with the elimination round… He announced after the last contestant.

“Ten brave singers participated today but sadly only five would move to the finals on Monday and only one would win the grand prize… He announced as I rubbed my palms.

“And they are….

“Jennifer Lopez….

“Hart hard…

“Kierra Leah… He called my name but yet I really didn’t feel excited at all rather I was beginning to get scared because the odds were in my favour maybe I did have a chance to win this thing.

“He calked the last two names but I paid little attention to him after my name was called as Maya hugged me tightly.

“You did it girly but you don’t seem happy.

“I just wanna be with Xander… I said as she nodded in affirmation as we walked to the car driving off in silence.

 

I rushed into the car the moment the car came to a halt as Xabder’s sleeping face was on the couch while I dropped my bags before rushing to his side as I caressed his hair softly.

“You won right… He said as I nodded.

“You’re gonna win you know right… He said as I shrugged.

“She’s a minor she’s gonna be buried today… He said simply standing up.

“I go change to something black wait… I said rushing up the staurs into my room as I grabbed some clothes before falling to the bed crying my eyes.

I cried once again I let the old Kierra out I cried because by Monday I might loose Xander for six months I cried because we just lost a friend and I cried because for once things were just so damn complicated things were so stupid right now,so yes I cried and then like the new Kierra I was I dried them all up changing into a black gown covering my dark faces with so makeup grabbing my clutch as I walked downstairs as they were all waiting for me.

“Kate… I said as she ran into my arms.

“She didn’t deserve to die… She said sobbing as I held her.

“Common let’s go… I said as we walked into the car each bearing sad faces.

 

We got to the burial ground and every single one of us were in tears in our own way we loved her she might have but seen it but we loved her we loved her but she’s gone now.

“Where ever you are I hope you know we all love you… I said before dumping some sand on her grave.

“You mean the world to me… Kate said as she dumped her own.

“I’m sorry for saying those mean things to you I did love you Freya you were always loved I’m sorry we couldn’t save you… Xander said as I squeezed his hands reassuringly.

“I’m sorry we were such horrible parents I’m so so sorry I’m so sorry… Her mum said as she sank in her own tears.

Her dad barely able to contain his own emotions as they were all shedding tears the whole of ever green high felt her death she was gone who would be there to mock us.

“Why Freya why… I thought crying.

“I came Freya… Jennifer said sniffling although she was in cuffs she was allowed to pay her last respects.

“We all love you… We screamed as her grave was covered.

“Wait… I screamed as they were about to take her away.

“Jennifer I just want you to know I’m not angry at you I bear not grudges against you I’m sorry for everything I might have done to make you angry I’m so sorry,please forgive me… I said placing my palms together.

“Are you crazy what the heck If it wasn’t for these cuffs I would be in my knees right now I’m forever sorry Kierra I had no idea what I did but I have to learn I’ll gladly go to jail I need to learn but I’m so happy at lest I have your forgiveness h
Jail wouldnt be that bad.

“You have all our forgiveness… Maya said holding max hands.

“Thanks guys… She said as they led her away.

“Death is a really cruel thing it opens the eyes of many but it’s really something I wouldn’t wish on my for but sadly what happen has happened and Freya although you might never get to hear this but I forgive you while heartedkly and may your gently perfect soul rest in peace… I said as I felt a gently breeze blow a weight lifted off my shoulders as I suddendly felt relieved.

“Thank you Freya… I said smiling as I held onto Xander.

“I’m gonna drop out of the competition… I whispered to Myself Smiling.

“Kierra dear… Mum said hugging me tightly.

“Maya said you won At least Some good news i Always knew you were talented I’m so so proud of you.. She said hugging me as my chest tighten.

“Make momma proud… She said before walking away as I grew cold torn between two worlds.
