Chapter Three: Ghost of the past

"How's Lil been?" Hanna asked sitting next to Phil on the nature trail. "She slipped back into a coma the next day. But we are still hoping she'll come to and stay awake." a class came out onto the nature trail, probably one of the science classes. And in it, was Chuckie. He looked at Phil. He could have sworn that Chuckie was going to walk over and say something but he just kept walking. Phil sighed. "What's wrong Phil?" he was still watching Chuckie when he got up and looked down at Hanna "I'll be right back"

"Chuckie! Wait up" Chuckie turned around "What do you want, Phil?"

"How are you guys holding up?" Chuckie looked down, Phil could tell that he was still upset and mad at him "We're getting better. Thanks" Phil looked at Chuckie again "I don't want you to hate me forever, ChucK" when Chuckie didn't answer he took it as the sign he should leave "I'll see you around.." he said as he turned and walked back over to Hanna. "Who was that?" Phil looked over his shoulder at Chuckie "An old friend..."

That night at the Finster's Chuckie sat at the dinner table. "How was your day, Chuckie?" he barley talked to his parents now. It wasn't the same without Kimi around. He sighed "Fine." he turned when he swore he heard someone walking around "Are you okay, Chuckie?"

"Huh? Yeah, I just thought I heard something.." Chaz and Kira looked at each other. "We have some good news" he looked at him and they were both smiling "What is it?" Kira reached across the table and put her hand on Chuckie's "We're going to have a baby. You're going to be a big brother again" Chuckie didn't know what to say so he got up and walked out of the house. He ended up at the park that he had been at a lot through his life. "Finster? What are you doing here?" he turned to see Angelica on one of the swings "Angelica? Why are you out so late?"

"I didn't want to be at home. So I came here to clear my mind. What about you?" Chuckie sat on the swing next to her "I just can't stand being at home. I miss Kimi too much" Angelica reached over and put a hand on his shoulder "I know it's hard, Chuckie. It'll be okay though. It may not be soon, but one day." Chuckie shrugged her hand off "It won't be okay. She was too good to have died. She was so young." Angelica could see that tears were starting to form in his eyes "Chuckie, look at me. Kimi wouldn't want you to stay upset."

"How would you know? You didn't like her" he looked at the ground and kicked the dirt "I did like her. I like all of you, as much as it pains me to admit it." Chuckie looked back at her "Really?" Angelica nodded "But if you tell anyone I said that, I'll hurt you" he smiled at her "I knew I could get you to smile." she got off the swing and stood in front of him "If you ever need anything, I'm here for you." she turned and walked away and Chuckie watched. She turned back around "Also, think about Phil. It's just as hard for him. He loved her, too. It wasn't all his fault." with that, she turned and walked away. Chuckie sighed and looked at the sky. It had been a month since Kimi had passed away. And everyday it seemed to get harder, and everything reminded him of her. He really did miss her.

He finally decided to go home after realizing how late it was. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard something. He jumped up. It sounded like it was coming from Kimi's room. He hadn't been in there since the accident. He walked out of his room and opened the door "Chuckie?" he almost screamed it scared him so bad. Sitting on Kimi's bed was the ghost of Kimi. Or so he thought. "This isn't real. I'm just stressed. Hallucinating." he walked out and closed the door fast. He wanted to get to sleep soon. "It's not like she was murdered. Her ghost shouldn't be here... If it was." he shook his head "I'm going crazy." he laid in bed and closed his eyes tight trying to get the image out of his head, going to sleep.

"Good morning." Kira said as he walked into the kitchen the next morning. "Morning" he said stretching and sitting at the table "Were you talking to someone last night?" Chuckie looked at her and thought about the night before and shook his head "No. Why do you ask?" Kira got up walking over to the coffee pot "I thought I heard you." she shrugged and sat back down "I must have been overly tired." she smiled at him and took a sip of her coffee. "You're losing it" he joked and got up "I'm going to go get ready for school."

"Chuckie, before you go, have you heard anything about Lil?" Chuckie turned back around and looked at her "Nothing yet, she woke up for a little bit and then slipped back into a coma" Kira sighed but didn't say anything else. Chuckie knew she didn't want to talk about it, she missed Kimi probably more than any of them did. Chuckie walked out of the room and back upstairs. He still wasn't sure what to think of what had happened the night before. He sighed as he started getting dressed, he just couldn't get the image of Kimi out of his head. He considered making a stop at the hospital after school. One, to see Lil. And two, so he could catch Tommy up on everything he was missing.

He walked out of the house, he still found it weird walking alone to school every morning. When Kimi had passed away, he didn't go to school for a week. Which was understandable to everyone. Everyone also noticed how he wasn't acting himself, but why would he? His sister was one of his best friends. He was and always will be miserable without her. The whole way to school he was in thought, and he knew that he had to forgive Phil. He couldn't stay mad. He had known Phil his whole life, he really didn't do it on purpose. He walked by the DeVille house and stared at it as he kept walking. At that moment, he started thinking of a way to apologize to Phil for ignoring him, being mean, and everything else. He kicked a rock and continued walking.

Phil went to the hospital that morning to see Lil and find out if she's gotten any better. She still hasn't come back out of her coma, but he had hope. Tommy looked absolutely miserable. "Hey, how are you doing?" Phil asked as he walked in and Tommy just shook his head "It's killing me. I want her out of this" Phil nodded in agreement. "I do too. I really hope it's soon. When do you plan on coming back to school?" Tommy shrugged "Soon. I don't want to fail." the room fell silent, neither of them knew what to say so Phil waved and walked back out. The whole way back to school he hoped that Lil would come out of her coma soon.
