Without You There Is No Me

Rich wasn't able to come to meet me today. But he had given me some information that I had been looking for. I've been saying since we came back from England that I wanted to help people. I've been planning for it. I don't have a place for people to stay, but I can still help them. I'm not able to just buy a building. I think that when I was going through the attack it would have been nice for someone to approach me and tell me what was happening. For the most part I didn't know and I was terrified of what was going to happen next.
Vic is coming with me. I don't want him alone with Carrie. Not when anything could happen to her. When the thing that was inside me tried to hurt my friends Tony tied me to a bed. I don't think he could do the same to Carrie. Maybe that proves how strong Vic actually is.
I walked outside and saw Vic and Mike both leaning up against Vic's car. I went over and reached up to kiss Vic. He kissed me back and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I don't want to see it," Mike complained. "This is like the before part from a porn film."
"Don't you have to be eighteen to watch porn." I said.
"Shut up." he grumbled.
"Why are you coming?" I asked.
"I'm a people person. You and Vic unfortunately are not. How are you supposed to lure it The Haunted if you're not people people."
"I asked him to come." Vic filled in.
"Okay." I smiled.
Vic got in the drivers side and I went to sit next to him in the front. Mike went to the back and started sighing. Vic ignored him and started to drive to the address. Mike sighed loudly again and I turned around in my seat.
"What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Nothing." he grumbled.
"What's up?" I asked again.
"You always get to ride front seat." he grumbled.
"Is this what it's about?" Vic laughed.
"Leave him alone." I said. "You should call shot gun." I told him.
"Like Vic would kick you out for me." Mike grinned. "Anyway, where are we going?"
"You know where." Vic said.
"I mean where in town." Mike rolled his eyes.
"A block away." Vic shrugged.
Vic pulled up outside a house. I looked across at Vic and he smiled in encouragement. I got out of the car and Vic came around to take my hand. We walked up the path and Mike knocked the door. We waited a minute until it was opened.
The woman in front of us was thin, blonde and had a silver crucifix hanging from a delicate chain around her neck. I'm sure she doesn't know either. She smiled brightly at us and I saw Mike grin back.
"Can I help you?" the woman asked.
"Is Lee in? He said we were going to work on a project for bio." Mike said.
"Oh, are you all in his class?" she asked.
"That's right." I smiled. "I'm Hannah," I introduced myself. I held my hand out and she shook it. "This is Vic and Mike." I added.
"Lovely to meet you all. He's upstairs with Lily. You must know her from school."
"Oh, Lily. Yeah, she's in my gym class." I said.
"Lovely. Just go on up." she urged.
"Thanks." Vic said. She opened the door for us and showed us to the stairs. We started walking up. "This feels wrong." Vic muttered.
"How?" Mike asked.
"We just blabbed our way into someone's house. We could be killers." Vic said.
"But we're not." I soothed and kissed his cheek.
We stopped outside a bedroom door. I knocked and pushed the door open. I saw a guy with ginger hair and girl with fair blonde hair sat on the bed. They looked up and the girl snapped the book they were reading closed.
"Hi." the guy said blankly.
"You're Lee?" I asked.
"Yeah." he nodded. "Um I don't know any of you."
"Sorry," I muttered. "I'm Hannah."
"You're Hannah." the girls eyes widened.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Which one is Vic?" she asked excitedly.
"Lily." Lee warned. "Not yet."
"How do you know who I am?" Vic asked.
"Close the door." Lee urged. We all walked inside and Mike closed the door behind him.
"Someone came to us." Lily explained. "They told us that someone called Hannah would come to help us. They told us everything you've been through and that you could save us."
"Who told you?" I asked.
"A spirit who goes by the name of Lauren." Lee said.
"You need to talk to your stalker." Mike mumbled.
"Maybe I do." I replied.
"She's going behind your back a lot recently." Vic added.
"I know." I sighed.
"Hang on, you mean you can see them too." Mike said to Lily.
"Yeah." she frowned.
"You're one of The Haunted." Mike said.
"The what?" Lee asked.
"Sorry." I said.
"It'd take too long." Vic said.
"Next week I'm going to be explaining to a lot of people what will happen to you. I want to help you. Do you think you could come? It'd be much quicker for me." I explained.
"Sure." Lee nodded.
"I'll give you my number and you can call me tonight. Okay?" I smiled.
"That's great." Lily nodded. I used the book they were reading to write my number and handed it to them. I looked at the book before Lily snatched it away.
"If you need me. Like for an emergency then call me, please." I said.
"We will." Lily promised.
"Come on, Han'. We need to go to the next place." Vic urged. I nodded and took his hand.
We walked out of the room and downstairs. I led them outside and started walking to the car. "Did you see the book?" I asked them. They both shook their heads and I sighed. "It was on witchcraft."
"We bagged ourselves a witch." Mike laughed loudly.
"Shut up." Vic rolled his eyes. I got inside the car and Vic took my hand and kissed it. "Let go to the next place." he smiled.

Notes

Hey! What did you think? Sorry it's taken forevvvvvvver. I just haven't felt like writing. Forced writing is shit writing. What will happen at this meeting? Why is Lauren gathering people together? What happened to Lauren? What is all this leading up to?

Theres also something I need your help on! I know I've done a collab with some people on this site. But I've got an (if I do say so myself) amazing idea! I normally wouldn't do this but I want to write a story. It's more like a project. It's going to involve a lot of people. My idea is that there is a pretty horrible event and from that event it starts to effect people lives. It'll be told from the point of view of seven different people, that's why I need so many of you! Each person will write one chapter (or more if it goes well) and will pretty much have free rein. I'll just give you a small paragraph about how it's affecting that person and maybe a few ideas that I had about what could happen to them. I really need you guys so if you're interested then please message me! Mike, Tony, two female other characters and either Vic or Jaime (I forget which one is taken) are up for grabs! So message me for more details! :)
