Best Friends Forever? Part 6

Tom stayed with me until I could cry no more. Tom promised to stay the night with me as my parents had gone away to celebrate their anniversary. I had no idea what was going to happen that night, and if I had I probably would have been afraid. No I would definitely have been very afraid. I must have cried myself to sleep that night because I didn't remember falling asleep. If only Katie's death had been a dream, no a nightmare. A nightmare that I could have, and would have, woken up from. I would have woken up to the sound of my phone ringing and it would have been Katie sounding as happy as she was and begging me to go to the mall with her. That was the Katie that I had known, but then she changed, she became a new Katie. A sadder Katie.
It was Tom that woke me that morning. In my sleep I felt Tom move next to me and I felt his soft lips kissing my cheek. His warm arm around me. Instantly I felt safe.
"Tom?" my eyes struggling to open as I mumbled his name. I heard nothing.
"Tom?" I said once more.
"Anneliese, you might want to look at this," I could hear fear and confusion in his voice as he spoke.
My eyes opened wider when Tom turned on the lamp next to my bed. Out my window it was still dark, the clock said 3:59 AM. Tom was holding a piece of paper. What was he holding?
"Don't be freaked out but you have to read this," Tom's voice sounded even more confused and fearful. I took the page from his hand and started to read. Immediately I noticed that it looked like Katie's handwriting. But Katie was dead.

Anneliese,
Don't be afraid. It's me Katie. I know right now you're probably thinking aren't you dead? And the answer to that would be yes, yes I am dead. I am so dead right now, I've seen my body lying in the morgue. Btw, I'm really not trying to scare you. Anneliese, I know you didn't want me to die but this was the only way out, if only you knew what I felt. To me dying, it was a sort of relief. It was like all the struggle and pain was over, but I guess I was wrong. I came to you tonight at 3 AM, I hoped you would've been alone, but obviously we don't all get what we want. I've left you this message to tell you that I'm still here. I am dead but I am still here. And I'm not leaving, not just yet. But I wanted you to know. Sometimes you will know when I'm in the room with you, other times you will not. I'll leave for now as soon as I finish this letter. I think Tom sensed my presence, when I arrived he stirred a bit and I almost had to leave. Anneliese, I'll be thinking about you, I won't forget. DON'T FORGET ME!!!!! NEVER!!!!! Anneliese, you won't be sad forever, you'll make it through.

-Katie

It was signed in what looked like blood. Before I could think of anything else to do I screamed. Tom looked scared too, and we both moved closer together.

Sorry that Part 6 took forever to write, I was writing it and then my computer froze and I lost all of it. Anyways enjoy, I'll try to have Part 7 on asap!! :)
