After my death, the whole family began to love me Chapter 5

The anger on their faces turned to disbelief

They froze, afraid to even turn around

Then that voice came again, cracking with 

tears

DadMom” 

It’s Sarah. Don’t you recognize me? Don’t 

you want me anymore?” 

Tom snapped out of it first, whipping around

Sarah! It really is Sarah! She’s alive! She’s 

back!” 

Mom’s legs went weak, and she almost fell

Dad caught her, and they both stumbled 

towards the door, where Sarah was standing

And my husband, Nick, took off the second he 

heard Sarah’s voice, grabbing her in a bear 

hug

Mom was crying her eyes out

Sarah, my Sarah! It’s really you!” 

This isn’t a dream, is it? My Sarah’s back

I’m not dreaming?” 

Thank God, thank you for bringing my Sarah 

back. I couldn’t have lived without you.” 

Everyone there was getting choked up, wiping 

their eyes

Г 

I was still on the ground from Mom’s slap, like 

a piece of trash

Because Sarah was back, the Millers and Nick 

bailed on the party and went home

Mom was stroking Sarah’s hand, looking at 

her like she was made of glass

Dad and Tom were asking her where she’d 

been. She just cried

Two years ago, when Sarah jumped off the 

bridge, the search teams looked for a week

but they didn’t find a body

That became another reason to blame me

It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t come back, if

you 

you hadn’t stolen Nick, Sarah would never 

have left us!”

She didn’t even want to leave her body 

behind. She didn’t want to give us anything to 

remember her by.” 

My Sarah. How hopeless must she have 

felt?” 

But the hopeless one was sitting on the 

couch, getting all the attention in the world

My stomach clenched, and I struggled to 

speak

I looked at Nick. I don’t feel well. I want to go 

home.” 

Before Nick could answer Sorah stood 

Before Nick could answer, Sarah stood up

looking distraught. She took my hand

I’m sorry, Laura. Are you upset because I’m 

back? It’s my fault.” 

Laura, don’t go. I should leave. I shouldn’t 

have come back.” 

I just missed Mom and Dad and Tom. I know 

I’m not their real daughter, but I love them” 

Nick stood up. Don’t talk like that, Sarah. It’s 

not your fault. She’s just jealous that 

everyone likes you!” 

Laura, stop pretending. You’re just upset 

that we favor Sarah!” 

Look in the mirror. You’re bitter and jealous

You can’t compare to Sarah!” 

Sarah shook her head, looking guilty. Nick

don’t talk like that! She’s your wife.” 

Then Mom spoke, grabbing Sarah’s hand and 

pulling her back to the couch. She glared at 

  1. me

Nick’s right. She’s ungrateful!” 

You were with us for eighteen years, caring 

for us. She doesn’t appreciate you at all! She 

drove you to jump off the bridge!” 

You’re lucky to be alive, and she can’t even 

be nice to you! Just ignore her.” 

The room fell silent. I stood up, clutching my 

stomach

Г 

Since that’s how it is, I’ll leave. I don’t want 

to ruin your reunion.” 

Oh, and congratulations.” 

Your precious daughter’s back. I’ll just die 

and make room for her.” 

Maybe I went too far, or maybe Nick wanted 

to make it clear to Sarah that he didn’t care 

about me

He grabbed my arm and dragged me out

Who are you trying to upset? Are you trying 

to ruin everything for everyone?” 

Then go! Just go! We’re leaving together!” 

I’m divorcing you. I’ve had it with you!” 

I looked back at the Millers

They looked so happy

Sarah was back

Laura would be dead soon

After my death, the whole family began to love me

After my death, the whole family began to love me
