�No, its impossible� Kasey said, watching the group of girls walk into a shoe store. His eyes fixated on one in particular. Her green eyes were so familiar. Kasey walked up to the window and watched the interactions between the 4 girls. He watched the one�s movements, how she carried herself. Her hair color was different but he was sure it was her.
�Kasey, come in here please� Tammy yelled to her son whom had just walked through the door. Kasey saw his mom, sitting on the couch crying. He quickly went to her and sat down beside her. �Mom what is it? Did something happen to dad?� he asked, fearing the worst. Tammy nodded; she knew that Kasey was going to breakdown when she told him what Mrs. Samantha had just called to tell her. �Kasey, I just got a call from Katarina�s Aunt. They found the family car crashed on the side of the road, it was burnt beyond recognition. Kasey I�m sorry but Katarina was in the car.� She watched as her son�s face distort with pain. �Kasey� she whispered, putting her arms around him. He didn�t say anything, just got up off the couch and peacefully walked to his room, where he stayed for about three days straight.
�Hello, earth to Kasey� Kale said, waving his hand in front of Kasey�s face. Kasey snapped out of his daze, still looking at the girl. �Dude, I know they are hot, but if you keep staring at them like that they might call the police on you� Kale chuckled at his comicality. �It�s her Kale� Kasey said in a voice just above a whisper. �Who is her?� Kale asked, trying to decipher which one Kasey was drooling over. �Kat� he answered breathlessly.
Kale sighed; he thought that Kasey was finally starting to get everything back together since she died. �Kasey� Kale said, putting a hand on his shoulder �it isn�t her�. He watched as Kasey still followed the girl with his eyes. �She does look like her, a little thinner though� Kale admitted to himself. �Come on Kasey, lets go home� Kale said, trying to pull his brother away from the storefront. Kasey stood firmly in his place; he knew that the girl in the store trying on shoes was his best friend. She wasn�t dead; she was alive and standing in the same building as him.
Kasey waited as the group paid for their items and started to walk out of the store. Kale rolled his eyes as he watched Kasey walk up to them. �Excuse me� he said, his voice still not 100%. The group turned around and smiled when they saw the man before them. �Yes?� the petite blonde asked. Kasey looked at the girl he believed was Kat, there was a look of nervousness in her eyes. �Kat� he said, staring at her. She gave him a strange look and then glanced around at her friends. �Um, I�m sorry I think you have mistaken me for someone else� she stated firmly �I�m Melissa�. She smiled; the look of nervousness was still there.
The girls all turned and started to walk away. �Wait� Kasey said, following behind them. They all again stopped and turned to face the man. �Do me one favor and I will leave you alone� he said, pleading with his blue eyes. �What would that be?� the girl asked, a little intrigued by what he would want her to do. �Turn around� Kasey said, a knot forming in his stomach. Melissa obliged his request and turned her back to him. Kasey reached up and started to tug at the waist of her jeans. �Excuse me!� Melissa turned around shocked at what this man was trying to do to her. The girls faces all turned to disgust as they turned to walk away.
�I will meet yall in the food court� Melissa said, slipping away and heading towards the bathroom. She was standing at the sink wiping away the water that she had just splashed on her face when the door opened. �You can�t be in here!� Melissa said as she saw Kasey enter the room. �Please just show me what I need to see and I will leave you alone, that�s all I ask� he said, stepping towards her. Melissa was starting to get scared, she sighed as she turned around. She lowered the back of her jeans about an inch and Kasey gasped at what he saw.
