Zayn grabbed his phone with trembling hands and entered a six digit number.
‘Hello, Zayn!'- A quiet female voice answered, sounding happy.
‘I need you, Alicia.'- Zayn was in terrible condition, he needed her help.
'What happened? Where are you?'- Her voice changed, now she sounded worried.
'Just come as quickly as possible, I did something terrible. I’m in Summerland, I... just come here.'
'Okay, just stay home and don’t do reckless things. I’ll come in an hour and a half.'
Zayn ended the call without saying a word, laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Tears streamed down his face, and beside him was a picture of Katie. He couldn’t forget her, every day she burst into his mind without asking, hurting him again and again. But this time it was different, Leah also found a place there.
'Why did you leave me, Katie? Why?'

Two eyes were still crying, Leah didn’t know what to do or how to feel. Her young heart was still pounding at the thought of his touch and kiss. Leah chose to go home because she didn’t want her sister to see the tears or her sad eyes.
'Leah, wait.' – A female voice called her, and she turned around.
The mysterious ghost was standing there again, Leah’s whole body tensed and she froze in place.
'What do you want?'- She snapped without fear.- 'Who are you by the way?'
'I'm Katie.'
'Why are you following me, Katie?'
‘Let sit down somewhere and I'll tell you everything, the whole story.'
Leah wasn’t afraid of her, so she followed Katie to a bench. Both sat down and Leah waited for her explanation.
‘I died last summer, you know about Zayn and his girlfriend. Well, that's me, but don’t be scared.'
Leah began to shake and her tears started streaming down, but she wiped them.
'I ... I'm so sorry.'
‘It’s not your fault, but you can help him. He hates himself and that’s why he does all these terrible things.'
'Look, I don’t think I'm the one who can help him. He thinks I'm still a child and I can’t change that, he isn’t interested in me.'
Katie started laughing and rubbed Leah’s back.
'You are wrong, my dear. He is afraid, afraid to move forward. Afraid that you‘ll replace me.'
‘But why me?'
'Because, Leah, you're innocent just like me. Always crazy and funny, quickly get attached to people... and they hurt you even quicker. But you're not me, you're a strong and brave person. You always follow your heart and fight for what you want.'
'What should I do then, Katie?'
'I can't tell you what's right or wrong, but don't give up. I'm leaving now because I'm sure you'll be fine... You will mend his broken heart and I know he's in safe hands.'
'But... Katie, wait!'
It was too late, Katie was gone forever, leaving Leah with a hope. She received so many answers that would help her.

'Zayn, open the door.'- Alicia was there, the distance didn't stop her.
He got out of bed, his eyes were red, the sloppy clothes scared Alicia a little, but that didn't stop her to embrace him.
'Come inside.'
They sat on the couch, and she looked into his eyes. There was so much pain, he was dead inside.
'What happened?'- Alicia carefully asked, rubbing his back.
'I... I miss Katie.'
'I know, Zayn. I miss her too.'
Alicia was Katie's best friend, but after the incident, she moved to another city. She chose a different direction because it felt like losing her sister.
'There's a girl, Leah, she is so innocent and reminds me of Katie...so bad. I like being close to her, I love her smile and just...'
'There's nothing wrong with that, Zayn.'
'She hates me, Alicia. I gave her hope, but then just left. I kissed Leah and then told her I'm not interested in her.'
'Why did you do that?'- Alicia sounded confused.
'I... am just afraid. I'm afraid to be part of her life, but I don't want to lose her. She made ​​me smile again, I'm so weak and helpless.'
'Don't say that, Zayn. Get some rest, we'll talk tomorrow.'
Alicia hadn't seen Zayn so confused, but she was there to help him. She was there to show him the right direction and tell him that it wasn't wrong to love again.
