Short story

When there’s no way she could have known. As Derek pushed the shovel deep into the soil near his ex-girlfriend’s grave. Derek stopped and wondered where he had gone wrong… When one night he had gone out to the bar because his girlfriend had broken up with him. He was so upset , he was drinking the pain away he felt just thinking why his relationship just had to end. A few drinks later and Derek was drunk ,he just couldn’t walk straight. He realized he had to leave because he had to work the next morning.
Next thing you know Derek was in a hospital tied up with handcuffs,Derek was so confused shouting for answers. A nurse named Jackie had then came in to check on his IV when Jackie was there Derek was trying to talk to Jackie. It seemed like Jackie was ignoring Derek but then Dr. Jon in came and he tried insisting them both for answers the doctor seemed to ignore Derek too. When Dr. Jon and Jackie both left Derek was so confused on why they ignored him. He stayed up all night thinking putting anything he knew together. Jackie had came in to change his bed sheets and check how he was doing, then Dr. Jon had came in to record anything new. “He’s breathing fine, his blood rate is staying at the same since last time” said Jackie, “This young man is lucky enough to be here after what he did, that car accident was horrible” Dr. Jon responded. Listening to all what the nurse and the doctor were saying , Derek was understanding what had happened. As they were leaving there was a police guard outside Derek’s room just guarding the door making sure no one would enter but the physicians. Derek tried getting up but only his ghost left his body, he saw how badly the accident was because now he has a broken leg, head wrapped in a big bandage, cuts all over his body. As Derek tried making his way out he over heard the guard talking to some nurse “He was in a car accident , crashed into another car he was also reported intoxicated” told the guard, “what happened to the other person in the accident?” asked the nurse, “ They were brought to the hospital the day of the accident but that sadly that person didn’t make it through the accident” , responded the guard “ Was that person identified?” asked the nurse , “ Yes, we found her name her name was Jaime age around her 20s. Her family told us she was going home from work and we contacted her family they were devastated when they heard about the accident”, replied back the guard. When Derek heard his ex girlfriend’s name he went nuts crying, screaming, and running around to find Jaime’s room. He could not believe that he had been in a accident and crashed into Jaime’s car, “ I drove probably still upset about the breakup I went to look for her to talk things out to get back together, and ended up hitting a car that was apparently hers.” Six months passed and Derek had finally woken up from commo ended up paralyzed from his waist down. Derek was arrested later on and was sentenced 1 year , with a fine of $1000 for driving while intoxicated and 2 years in jail for the murder. He did his time in jail and was soon released the first thing he wanted to do was set some flowers on Jaime’s grave. When he had gotten there he saw something white like a form of foug shaped like a person and that when he’d realized it was Jamie’s ghost roaming around her grave .. When Derek had awaken from his sleep and realized it was all a nightmare .
