I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I promise I am working on it! I just haven't found the time as of late. I'm sorry it's kinda short, but more will come, I promise! Enjoy :)

I can see the sun, but I can't feel it. Everything feels cold. Dead. I'm sitting in the lot where Anna's house should be. Where it was while I was sleeping. I come here to think sometimes. And to try and communicate with her. It's worked to no avail and some days I just want to bury myself away from the world. Sometimes, when it gets really bad, I just wish they'd just left me half-dead. Or all dead. I'd rather live within a dream than to know that she's not here.

The grass is getting my pants wet from the dew, but I couldn't give a rat's ass. Her house was here. I met her here. I tried to kill her here. And I fell in love with her in this spot. My eyes feel like sawdust. Dried completely of any tears they could shed. This hurts too much. It hurts more than when I let her go. Because I was in my own little paradise. And to think that Fate was playing a cruel little joke on me is just too much to bear.

I pull out my wallet and flip it open to where my license sits. Right behind it is the newspaper clipping mentioning Anna's death. I look at the picture and think to myself that she's still the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on. The most beautiful creation that could exist in this Hell we call Earth. And I lost her.

Cassio.

My head jerks upright and I feel like a fish out of water. I can't breathe. Maybe the wind is just passing by. I begin to think that maybe I was just imagining it, but then I hear giggling. Anna's giggle.

I get to my feet, walking fast to the middle of the lot. I swear, I can hear her feet hitting hardwood floors. I can hear her laughing. I can feel Anna here.

"Anna!" I scream into the thin air. I look around to see the street is empty. But that doesn't make a damn bit of difference. This street could be filled to the brim and I wouldn't care who the hell heard me. "Anna!"

Cassio. Cassio! Stop messing around. Come out, come out wherever you are.

"Anna! Anna, I'm right here!" I continue to scream, but she doesn't respond. Am I losing my mind? Am I just imagining this?

Cassio… She says in a singsong voice. I know you're here. Come on, Cas. I swear, I'm going to stop playing this stupid game with you.

I take in a sharp breath. What is she talking about? What game am I playing? Can she even hear me?

"Anna…" I let out a sob and collapse to my knees. This is worse. Worse than anything I've felt so far. I can feel her. I can hear her. I can tell she's here. But this time, I'm the ghost. I'm the one who's invisible. But I'll be damned if it's going to stay that way.
