This story takes place when Melinda is 13 years old. She already knows that she can see ghosts and her grandma is still alive. I do NOT own Ghost Whisperer! Enjoy!
"Mom, I finished my homework, now can I go to visit grandma?" Melinda asked her mother.
"Fine, but no more of this ghost stuff. I don't need that stuck in your mind!" Melinda's mother replied.
"Mom, you've got it all wrong! One, they prefer to be called spirits not ghosts, two it isn't just 'ghost stuff' that's just in my head, it's real!"
"Melinda, if I were you I'd go visit your grandma at the retirement home right now before I tell you no."
"Yes mother.."
Melinda walked the block to the retirement home. Melinda gos to visit her grandma every single day without delay. Melinda's grandma was the only one that really understands her. Ever since Melinda was a little girl she could see ghosts. Melinda's mother unfortunately doesn't have the gift (since it skips a generation ) so when Melinda told her mother about her gift Melinda's mother though that her daughter was a freak crazy nut job. She has said it to Melinda's face more times then I can count. Because of that the only other person that knows about her gift is her grandma. Even though all of that has happened to Melinda it doesn't stop her from being warm and friendly too others.
Once Melinda got to the retirement home she asked the lady at the front desk if she could visit her grandma.
"Of course Melinda! All the residents are in the middle of a bingo game right now so if you will just wait a few moment for them to finish." The front desk lady said.
"Sure!" Melinda replied.
She walked over to the waiting area and sat down across from a cute boy around her age. She has seen him before though, he comes every Saturday to go visit his grandfather.
"Why not introduce myself? If he's here he must be nice." Melinda thought.
"Hi, I'm Melinda!" Melinda said.
"Um. Hi Melinda, I'm Jim." Jim replied.
The two just stared at each other for a moment. Not saying a word. Then Melinda finally broke the silence.
"What do you do with your grandfather when you visit him?" Melinda asked.
"Wait! What? How do you know I...." Jim started to say when Melinda interrupted.
"I'm here everyday so I've seen you talking to your grandfather before."
"Oh..okay I guess... Well getting back to your question, we normally play cards.. sometimes checkers.. At the moment he's showing me the rules of chess."
"Cool! Wait, today is Friday isn't it? Why are you here?"
"Well he's going to have surgery Sunday are taking him on Saturday so I wanted to visit him while he's still here."
Before they could say anything else they both noticed that people where filing out of the hallways. Melinda saw her grandma and noticed that she was motioning for her to come over there.
Melinda said good bye and waved and started walking over to her grandma.
Then Melinda spun around when she heard Jim say,
"See ya latter Mel" Jim said as he walked in the other direction see his grandfather.
Once Melinda got to her grandma she smiled.
"So, who were you talking to?" Melinda's grandma in a sing song voice waiting to hear her answer.
"Oh no grandma! He's not my boy friend or anything like that! He was just sitting there... Melinda told her.
"Sure Melinda."
Melinda laughed. She couldn't believe that her grandma thought about her having a boyfriend.
"Well even if he isn't he sure is cute!" Melinda grandma complemented
