Deceased With a Chance @ Love by Dianna J. Torres (life books to read txt) 📕

My eyes were closed I didn’t want to open them because it felt as if I had dirt in them. What happened? I got up and I was laying on a fluffy thing. It looked like a cloud and there was a huge golden gates. Surrounding a lot of clouds, I walked up to the gate and there was a man with white wings and a gold aura.
“Uhh excuse me, where am I?” I looked down at myself and I was wearing my short skirt, and my Elmo shirt.
“You my darling are dead!” The man said opening the gate so he could see me better.
“What? How can I be dead I…..I can’t even remember how I died.”
“Would you like to see it?” I was confused but I went along with what the man had said. He got out a white ball. He smashed it onto the cloud and white smoke arose and a video was starting to appear in front of a cloud.
It showed how I went to the store to get my moms prescription pills for her diabetes, and high blood pressure. I took a long way home, I couldn’t remember why I did. Then I took a turn and a semi made a turn too close to my side of the road and it hit the front of my truck. The dodge ram 1500 hit the curb and my emergency bag protected me from hitting the steering wheel. Sadly, that didn’t save me from the glass breaking. I saw my blood sliding down my face it hit my shirt and my head rested peacefully on the wheel. My arms were dangling next to my legs.
This was too much I didn’t even remember this, which was weird because most deceased do remember according to the man at the gate. “So….so…I…I….I’m dead?” I asked not believing this distraught news.
“I’m afraid so, but look on the bright side. No more feeling pain on earth or for that girl, oh what’s her name.” The man skimmed through a clipboard that apparently had my info.
“Alex.” I said.
“Oh yes Alex duh, that’s the good news.”
“But what about my family, my friends, my education?”
“Girl you don’t need an education here in heaven. You were created for a reason and that reason is to love God. So do you?”
The man leaned into me. “Of course I do. But,”
“No buts, here are the rules you can’t get into heaven because you have unfinished business and your soul is not clean. So I recommend you meet up with,” He whistled with his fingers between his lips. That’s when Amanda, Brandon, Devon, and my baby sister showed up. “Ahh ha you know them well except for Devon but you know them anyways. Okay so I’m going to jet because I have other people to talk to about their second chances to enter heaven. So I leave you in the hands of these amazing mentors. Peace!” Then the man disappeared. I didn’t even find out his name?
“Hi Dianna it’s been a long time huh?” She walked to me and hugged me. She looked beautiful wore her white robe, and the halo. She told me that all she needed was her wings and she would be done.
“Thanks cool.” I said.
“Hey Dianna I never talked to you but thank you for worrying about me.” I smiled and he gave me a hug too. I then said your welcome.
Devon was next he also said thank you for praying for him and then shook my hand which was a bit weird but it happens.
Then Amanda gave me my baby sister. She was asleep, covered by a white cloth, little wings and her halo. “God suggested we get her these little buggers.” Amanda pointed to the little wings.
She was so black it was hard to believe she was my little sister.
Amanda and everyone else were standing on a cloud, they told me to follow them so I did. We soon showed up in front of the football game that I never got the opportunity to go to. Things happen for a reason right. Brandon said “Okay so you have about 5 days to finish all of your business, it isn’t that hard but for your people it’ll be a awkward thing.”
“What why?”
“Just listen we’ll explain later.” said Devon.
“Anyway,” said Amanda “you can talk to people well, technically you can talk to the one person you never wanted to talk to. That person will be your only hope.”
Devon then said “Here you go.” He gave me a bag.
“What is this?” I retorted.
“It’s dust if your ever in need of our assistance just through it in the air. Oh yeah don’t leave it laying around because if a human gets a hold of it that will not be good consequences. Okay?”
“Uhh yeah okay.” I said nodding.
Brandon said “Alright we are dropping you off here because the person you need is here. Remember, listen to your heart. And it will all work out fine.”
“Uhh okay. Thanks I think?”
“Yes of course and don’t waste the dust.” Amanda said holding her hands out to me to give her my sister.
She was so little and she didn’t even get a name. That’s what I found out as soon as I became of age and realized that I may not have existed had my 3rd oldest sister died. “Bye guys and thanks I’ll see you eventually.”
“Bye!” They all said except my baby sister of course.
The grass seemed greener than before I died. The sky was all dark, as in pitch black and the only visible light came from the football field that was at the top of the hill. Memories flooded back to when my back then ex Jason tried to kiss me when we were heading to the school. Ewwww so gross actually I was glad that I told him hell no.
But eww that day will always haunt me when he kissed me on my birthday! Eww super gross his face was pale white he had acne on his cheeks. Just gross to say in nicer words.
I looked up at the top of the hill, I couldn’t believe I was here again, first I find out I’m dead and I return to the place I never wanted to come back to. High school West Noble to be exact. Too much shit happened here, I wish I had never done the things I did. Now, it’s just too late I hate it but I can’t do anything about it of course. I looked down then up and started to walk up the steep hill. I should have been tired but obviously I wasn’t. I reached the gate and there was a lady taking tickets. Wow, I just walked past her, I saw the theatre table selling baked goods. Some of it was good others not so much, other than that it wasn’t so bad. I headed to the fence that blocked the fans from the filed a good 30 feet. I remember that Tyler Clark started to call me cupcake on the field about the time homecoming was on for powder puff. I think? I can’t remember anymore my memory is starting to become fuzzy.
I looked up at the bleachers so many people that I knew were sitting up there, crap too bad no one could see me. Until, I locked eyes with one person, the biggest mistake I had ever made in my whole human life Alex Landeros. Shit it was as if she could see me? That made me feel awkward so I just looked away I walked to the other end of the bleachers, looked around and nothing. Oh well, I thought it could have been worse. I walked back to where I locked eyes with the biggest mistake of a person Alex. I looked to where she was sitting but she wasn’t there, thankfully. I looked down and stopped at the fence just to watch the game a little. The chargers scored, I jumped in excitement remembering that no one could see me anyways. I looked around and the coast was clear.
I went through a blonde girl, then someone staring me down at the concession stand. It was her Alex, shit. I hoped inside of me that she wasn’t “the one” as Devon, Brandon, and Amanda talked about. I stared her down too until I saw something in the sky, it was the clouds, at night? Why could I see them, I saw words that said “it’s her!” then they quickly faded I hope that it wasn’t a sign for me.
Alex walked up to me and said “It’s you, it really is isn’t it?”
I looked at her and said “Forget you!” I took a step forward and my hands went to her stomach, I couldn’t walk through her. ‘Oh shit!’ Was my thought I had to walk around her and headed towards the hill, so I could walk away. Alex came running down the hill saying “Why can I see you?”
My first reaction was to ignore, ignore, ignore. But I couldn’t so I said ‘Your imagining this. This is not real.’ She closed her eyes and I ran towards the front of the school with her in the middle of the road. With her eyes closed. Now that was funny. I went to go sit on the grass that lead to us33. I was going to miss the dramatic world.
“Hey girl what is your prob?” She said walking towards me. With her hands in her pockets. I bent my knees and laid my head in between them. I sat there wondering why it had to be her. “Hey girl I’m talking to you.”
I lifted my head and yelled “Yeah well I’m not! So go back to the game and ignore this situation that we in. Oday.” I rested my head between my legs.
“How ‘bout we don’t ignore this and you just tell me whats goin on?”
I lifted my head. “I can’t okay. Just freaking walk away Alex. Please.” I stood up and headed to the side of where Mrs. Gibbons room would be. My hands rested on my head. I felt like punching the wall knowing I would probably just go through it, I didn’t do it.
Alex yelled all the way from where I had sat down and ran to me saying “I can’t cuz fo a reason I’m here and I would like to no. Ya no.”
“No Alex I don’t know. Okay all I can say is…is this. I’m dead and you’re the one even after me being dead I still have the same feelings for you. Even though people kept telling me that you were or wait are a hoe, and all this other shit okay. And I will never be able to fucking forget you okay! God why did it have to be you of all the billions of people in the world it had to be you. Right!”
I slid down the wall, I hated this bad things really did always happen to me. Of course I have that type of bad luck with things. I always thought it was Karma but I’m not sure anymore.
“I’m sorry dat I can see you Dianna okay I’m sorry. It ain’t my fault that, you fell in love wit me. And dat you died if it was up to me, I would of taken your place but na, das not how God wants it so here you is. Right so what do ya need from me girl?”
“I told you I do not know. Ya know?” I mimicked
