My sister is downstairs, the last time I saw her was when we were trying to escape from Miss Watson and her watching me fall down the stairs. I hate that she had to watch her twin and only family die right in front of her.

Jess grabs my hand as we walk out of her room, I'm glad Jess is here because I couldn't do this alone.

I know this has to be hard on Lucy being in this house after everything.

We walk down the creaky stair and in to the living room.

I see the back of a woman's head, Jess pulls me to come sit on the couch.

I look at her face it looks like Lucy but it doesn't at the same time it almost looks like our mother.

"Sorry to barge in here like this" Lucy says shaking her head

She still sounds the same.

"No I'm glad you came over" Jess says giving her a small smile

"I know I know I should leave it alone it's none of my business but that poor child she doesn't deserve this" I watch her trying not to cry "I feel like I need to do something anything to help her"

"I'll help you in any way I can" Jess says

I see Lucy eyes wondering around the house almost like she can't believe she's back in this house.

"Sorry" she shakes her head "i never thought I'd ever come back in this house"

"I know it must be hard for you" Jess says softly

"There's a lot of memories in this house almost all of them bad but I still see my brother in every part of this house"

Jess squeezes my hand.

"Jess can I talk to you for a second?" I say to Jess, she nods

"I'll be right back" Jess tells Lucy and then heads in the kitchen

"Maybe we should tell her that I'm still here?" I say to Jess

"She won't believe me and she will hate me thinking that I'm just mocking her" She says shaking her head

"Please Jess" I beg, I want my sister to know I'm still here

"Okay" Jess whispers

I hug her tightly "thank you" I whisper
