Dade ran into the woods.
He just had to get away- he couldn't explain it, but something about that house... something just wasn't right.
He found a tree he liked and sat down, leaning against it. He sighed.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his back pocket. He looked- it was his dad texting.
howz the new house w/ mom?
not good. He texted back. He really missed his dad- he missed California.
whts wrong?
everything! mom, the house, the whole state! He wrote back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
There was no reply.
Dade sighed. That's how it always was with his Dad.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dade's parents got divorced when he was seven, and he'd lived with his mom until he was fourteen. They used to do all sorts of things together and they'd been really close back then.
Then, when he turned fourteen, she said he needed to live with his Dad for awhile- that he was a teenage boy and needed his father. so he moved in with Dear Old Dad.
When he got there, his dad told him that she was the reason that they'd divorced. That she never wanted kids- especially one like Dade. That she had never really loved Dad, that he was rich and she just wanted his money.
Then there was the thing with the phone calls. She used to call him every night when he first moved in with Dad. Then... it's like she just stopped caring. Dad said she never called. And now here Dade was, three years older, and he'd barely talked to her since he moved in with Dad.
Then- one day just three weeks ago- a new, strange, number had called the house. His mother's lawyer.
He said that Dade was underage, that his mother was his legal guardian, and that she was moving across the country to Virginia. And that he had to go with her.
He didn't have to like it though.
And thats how he'd ended up here, 3,500 miles away from home.
He remembered when he first saw his Mom again, only two weeks ago.

"Dade?" His mother stared at him in awe.
"Mom" He replied had his phone out and was texting.
"Oh, honey!" She hugged him, her arms around his waist, and her head on his chest."I missed you so much! look at you! Your'e all grown up, sweetie!" She had tears in her eyes.
" Uh-Huh..." He said, like she was some crazy stranger he didn't know. He put his phone in his pocket, and gently tried to push her away like she was an annoying, disgusting, little kid.
"Dade," She said when she backed up, " Uh- its me, you know- your'e mom? This is the part where you hug me and say you missed me?"
" why?" He asked, knowing she'd hate that.
She frowned. " Dade... what's happened to you? " She blurted out. but she knew what had happened. Dade might have been fooled, but she wasn't- his dad had gotten to him. This is what happen's when you send your'e sweet, charming kid to live with his sleeze-ball of a Father.

Dade looked around, pulled out of his daydream by some noise... leaves rustling... and... footsteps...
"Hello?" He looked around for the person, animal, anything that was making the noise.
There was no one there.
Then, he jumped as a pile of leaves flew into the air- like someone was walking towards him, just a few feet away.
He stiffened. Just the wind... thats all.
He got up to go back to the house and heard a giggling noise- like a girl. He spun around, knowing she was right behind him.
Still... no one. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and it pushed him hard in the direction of the house. He got freaked and started running back to the house- hearing that girl's giggling behind him.
He ran in the house and slammed the door.
Ghosts?
