I really like it. But that just might be me. The scenery needs expanding a lot as do the chapters. Still a good read, keep writing! It mostly seems right although some of the speech seems fabricated. For example:

" Leah." My mother paused. " Enough of this non-sense, for the millonth time ghost don't exsist , nothing paranormal does!"

Sorry if this seems a little brutal, but I'm just trying to help.

First of all, I agree with pinkangel that you should probably brush up on some of your grammar rules and be extra careful when your typing. A lot of things that would have been 'see' ended up being 'seen', which should actually be 'saw'.

A lot of your imagery is good, but I think because of the grammar and spelling mistakes your writing comes off as kind of rudimentary.

Now on to the nick-picking:

I sat quietly in my big bedroom, with dark decor.

You could eliminate 'with dark decor.' Or word the sentence differently, such as 'I sat quietly in my darkened bedroom.'

I didn't need her to think that a 14 year old girl, still lived in a fantasy world.

I know it's already been said, but once again you don't need that comma. Also, maybe replacing 'a 14 year old' with 'her 14 year old' would sound more natural. There's just something odd about this sentence.

I didn't know until 2 years ago... while I was daydreaming in school when everything turned into a beautiful nightmare.

This 'beautiful disaster' is the title of your piece, and yet you don't explain it at all. If its going to serve as your title, it really should be addressed more fully, which would also make this chapter longer.

In my opinion, her mother seems to be yelling from nowhere. She may be exasperated, but I don't think she would be yelling. But that's just my opinion.

Also, try to avoid double punctuation. I know it's tempting, but usually one can suffice along with a tag, like '"You're out of your room?" Mom sounded shocked. I rarely came out of my room.' To me, exclamation point imply a raised voice, but that may just be me.

making it feel like an black and white movie.

This should be 'a black and white movie.'

I was biting my nails that were painted black, my legs shivering because of the cold air.

'I was biting my black painted nails' sounds a little better. And what does biting her nails have to do with her shivering legs? If they're not related they probably shouldn't be connected in the sentence.

I guess I built up a hunger after getting scared to death.

Maybe 'I guess getting scared to death makes you hungry' might sound more natural.

For the most part, this is good. Just look at it one more time a bit more critically. Keep writing!
