Scary Stories and tales

Why Me?

This happened when I was 12, me and this girl named Carmen were new best friends. She was really pretty, and nice! She was emo/punk, and had her own band and everything. Her family was rich and they lived in a huge house and everything, I'll admit I envied her alot at this age! Once I even wished I had been born into HER family, but soon I decided, that was something I had not wanted EVER.

We were at her house, and I was spending the night. Because Carmen was traditional we watched a scary movie, ordered pizza, and did all the usual girly sleepover stuff (Although she is far from girly).

We had finally fallen asleep, or we were partially asleep. Well, I was finally in that state of complete comfort, and happiness. I was enjoying that state until a ear piercing screech made me jump, as well as Carmen. By this time I was in a bad mood because I was really comfortable!

Carmen and I ran upstairs, to check on her little sister. Her little sister was 7, and was pretty brave because it was a huge house and she slept upstairs all alone. When we opened her door, she was sleeping, perfectly serene, something I wish I could've been at that time..

So we went downstairs, and this time, we heard the shriek again. We continued to get up until we ignored it and slept. Her sister was fine in the morning, so we went on a chatroom, because I wanted to talk to some of my friends and ask if they knew about a murder somewhere nearby or something. They were clueless.

Well, suddenly a name popped up and privately IM'd us. It said, "Why didn't you help me?" We asked, "What?" It replied, "Why didn't you help me? I was screaming, but you never helped me! Hopefully someone helps you..."
Then it logged off.

As soon as that happened I went home, and that night I heard more screeching, but it was farther away.
Well, that morning Carmen called me and said her sister was found dead in their attic. She was hysterical and told me that she found a note on her sisters body that said, "Why didn't you help her?"
Carmen and her family moved a week after that incident, I haven't seen her since.

All I know, is I am glad I left early, and even though I miss her, I am glad Carmen left.
