The Estrangement
A/N- This is a drabble to help me get some ideas out of my head but depending on the response it gets this will be the prologue and I will develop it further. I would also like to apologize for any spelling or grammar errors I may have overlooked. Other than that, I hope you enjoy.
It was called a mistake, a freak accident, a mishap but it was more to me than that. It was a disaster and it was defiantly not blameless.
It happened near the end of sophomore year. I was happy it wasn't an ordinary day, it was the best day. My parents, as well as most of Amity Park, were starting to accept that the ghost boy was helpful, not harmful. Sam and I were starting to get closer, in a romantic way. Tucker and i were closer than ever, as were Jazz and I. Dani showed up in town and my parents were allowing her to live with us. I was becoming an acquaintance or distant friend to most of the popular crowd, and school was easier. And, best was that ghosts were starting to respect me and not attack as much. Everything was perfect and i was the happiest I'd ever been.
But, who are we kidding my life is never happy. It seems the universe was there to work against me, so if i have great happiness then a great tragedy must occur to keep me miserable. No one knows what caused it. No one knows the how or why to it. This was going to cause me great pain and distress regardless of the details but the not knowing, the mystery of it just makes it worse. Phantom and I were separated. Permanently.
I was playing video games in my living room with Sam Dani and Tuck, suddenly i felt this great emptiness, like a hole had been torn in my chest. It was like i couldn't breath, I collapsed. Mom, dad, and Jazz were in the kitchen preparing supper for the six of us. When they heard me collapse and Sam Dani and Tuck cry out in worry they ran in to help me. All I remember from there is their words fading out as well as my vision.
All was black It was like i was drowning it it then, suddenly, bright blinding white. As i adjusted to the sudden, contrasting color change i started to hear words fade back in. I turned to the direction of the words looking to see the speaker. Nothing. Then, Phantom. I'll never forget the look of pure, intense agony and sadness that was on his face and the tears in his eyes. Finally, he worked up the strength to speak to me. In a fleeting whisper in the most heart breaking tone he said "I'm sorry Danny, goodbye." then his Image faded out and drifted like mist or dust.
I woke up in my bed crying with my family and friend surrounding me. I tried to transform, not even caring that my parents were there, and nothing happened, the rings didn't even appear. I let out an agonized sob.
Now, Its half way through senior year. I rarely ever go home, I prefer to find abandoned buildings or similar areas. I don't talk to my family or friends that much anymore. They say I've changed, that I'm depressed and falling into a self imposed psychosis. They tell me they are worried, they care and want to help me. They don't I just know it. They are liars. All I want is Phantom back. I'm empty and alone with out that part of me.
I have looked every where for him but it is like hes gone, vanished. Ghosts don't bother me any more, if they see me they give me this pitying look. I hate them, all of them they get to be whole and I have to suffer. The ghosts will not help me. I went to Clockwork, Ghost writer, and Desiree, but none of their powers work on fixing this.
Being torn like this, being half a person, it kills me deep down I know every one is right I'm loosing my mind. I'm loosing myself. I don't know how to live any more. I want to die, but I cant I need to wait, stay in a form Phantom might recognize is he's still out there and hope beyond hope that he is looking for me to and that we will be reunited.
