Holly’s here.

“Hey. What are you doing here? You look amazing,” I say to her in stupefied wonder. “I’ve missed you. I’m so glad you’re here. How long can you stay?”

She reaches out and smooths back sticky long strands of my hair from my face. Holly looks worried about something. She’s frowning and shaking her head back and forth. “It’s not your time, Tally, you can’t stay.”

Her words wound me deeply. “I just want the pain to stop. I miss you. I want to be with you. Please. Let me stay.”

“No. You can’t stay. Don’t cry.”

A mysterious silence blankets my eardrums. The voices all around sound faraway except for Holly’s. Hers sounds like she’s right here.

But how can that be?

“Tell me something true,” I say gasping for my next breath suddenly. I’m warm and cold at the same time.

“It’s going to be okay.”

“Liar.”

She grins mischievously as if she’s secretly glad to see me but equally surprised by it at the same time. As am I.

The way she smiles reminds me of our sixteenth birthday party. Somehow, my parents pulled off the ultimate surprise party. Balloons everywhere. Cake, too. If felt just like this. Holly smiled just like this when we walked in side-by-side together with our arms linked into that amazing party.

Not the same.

Her smile disappears. “You can’t stay. It’s not your time,” she whispers looking more anxious than before.

She stands back from me now. A ghostly shadow. She hovers, but she’s further away.

“Don’t leave me, Hol. Take me with you. We have to be together.”

“I can’t. It’s not your time. We can’t be together, Tal.”
