Dead. They were dead. The news of death travels fast here, but I’ve never seen it celebrated with joy. Even though my friends are happy about it, I can’t help wonder ‘what about Jo-jo, her parents died what about her?’ Jo-jo doesn’t talk to anyone, trust me I’ve tried so many times. All she does is look ahead. I know why though, she’s afraid of something. I just don’t know what. I was joyful today though, it’s the day of her parents funeral. I know it sounds messed up, but Jo-jo will be coming with us after. I’m picking her up from the cemetery.
I see people in yellow everywhere, dancing, singing, and laughing. All had smiles on their face. Even the priest looked happy. In the front of the newly dug grass was Jo-jo. Her knee length white hair …show more content…
It’s time to come live with us now.” She had no emotion in her eyes or face. She nodded once and walked to her old home, the ground keeper's house. She walked in as I stood at the doorstep waiting, She came out with one small bag. She looked at me and nodded, telling me she was ready to go. I nod back showing her I understood. We walked together to my car.
It’s been two weeks since Jo-jo got here, she hardly eats and still hasn’t talked, she just sits in her room looking out the window or reading.

I roll over to see Jo-jo standing in my doorway holding her blanket to her body as well as a piece of paper.

The inside of her hand started glowing, as it faded she opened her hand. She grabbed my hand and placed one of the stones in it, holding it felt like fire. But I was numb, I didn’t care. She held the other one to the sky, the stone trickled into nothing. She smiled and looked at me. “Keep that stone close to you at all times. Leave me here and go. If you're in trouble whisper my name into it. I will came.” I shook my head. I couldn’t leave her. “Go Josiah I’ll be fine. I will know when you're in trouble, you will know when I’m in trouble.
