Chapter 4

Four Months Later…

Kathy's graduation day was finally here. Friends would exchange big hugs and long goodbyes, which would soon be followed by memories of the good times that had been shared throughout their friendships. This would also be the time for confessions and apologies.

Dennis P.O.V.

"Yes, I'd like to buy some flowers. How much are they?"

"Ten Dollars," said the salesman.

I was handed the bouquet after I exchanged the money and looked over in Kathy's direction. I saw her boyfriend walk up slowly but surely to her, looking sad and kind of guilty. I wonder why? He exchanged a few long sentences with Kathy and paused for a long moment. He looked deep into her eyes and said something softly. Tears started running down her cheeks, running to the bathroom, she thought to escape this heartbreaking moment.

"Oh great, what did that asshole say to her," I thought.

I started to search for Maggie, so she could check on Kathy. I finally found her talking to some of Kathy's friends' parents.

"Maggie, can we speak in private for a minute," I interrupted.

"Yeah," she followed, "What's up?"

"Well, can you check on Kathy? She's in the bathroom crying," I frowned, my attention turning to her boyfriend.

I walked up to him fast, clenching my fists. "What did you say to her?" I asked.

"Why should I tell you," he said snootily. Anger boiled in my veins, and I was just about to punch him in the face, but I remembered I couldn't punch people let alone touch them.

"Because you're gonna be in a world of hurt if you don't," I answered angrily.

"Fine, you wanna know? Well, I broke up with her and told her I cheated on her," he answered.

"You didn't deserve her and you cheated on her! Go "scissor" with your other girlfriend, you tranny!" I shouted heated. I walked away knowing I would get out of control, if I stayed there for one more second.

Walking away, I saw Kathy with tear-stained eyes and Maggie standing beside her.

"Kathy, are you okay?" I asked softly.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she responded. I knew she was lying, but I decided to drop the subject.

"Well, anyways congrats on graduating," I said while handing her the bouquet of flowers.

"Thanks, Dennis," Kathy said smiling. She started to cheer up a little. That's a good sign.

"Dennis, can we leave yet?" Bobby asked bored.

"That's up to your sister. Kathy, you ready to leave or do you still need to say goodbye to your friends?" I asked trying to emphasize leave, cause my head was causing more pain than usual.

"Nah, I think I've said enough goodbyes to everyone," she said tired. "And everyone's said enough goodbyes to me…" she whispered thinking I didn't hear. "Let's leave."

"Maggie, can you drive? I'm having a migraine here."

"Yeah, whatever you say Dennis."

Get a hold of yourself Dennis. It's only been about four months and your already going crazy. They don't have parents or living relatives and I'm worried that the government will take them away. I'm not cut- out to watch over children and take care of teenager problems. Maggie is, but I'm not…

We finally arrived at the house. Kathy ran straight up to her room and a slam could be heard from upstairs.

"She's just upset over her boyfriend dumping her. She'll get over it. I mean I did when I was her age," said Maggie.

"Should I go talk to her? I mean… I'm not used to this kind of stuff."

"That's your decision. I don't wanna get involved in case it upsets her even more. I think it's best if you leave her alone."

"Yeah I guess I should just stay out of it, since I never had these kinds of problems,"

After an hour of her not coming out of her room, I decided to see what was going on. I slowly crept up to her room and listened through the door. Hearing cries of sadness and pain, I knocked on the door and a sound of a small object hitting the floor could be heard. I opened the door quickly and was stunned to see a bloody razorblade on the floor.

"What'd you do Kathy!?!?!? How could you even think of cutting!?!?!?"

"I'm sorry… I just couldn't take all the shit that's been going on…," she paused, "all the drama… the heartbreaks… the loss… of… you know…," her eyes flooded with tears.

"… I have no more words for this… do what you want… just please realize that you're not only hurting yourself…"

I walked out of the room and trudged down the stairs looking to flee from this scene. Running out of the house, I yelled my heart out.

Meanwhile…

A little boy with a bullet through his head could be seen fleeing the containment cube. Frank saw the ghostly kid hide behind his tree house. Kevin turned on the chants and holding out a hand gun, Frank lured the little boy into the glass containment cube. He threw the gun in the cube to insure his capture. Shouts of joy could be heard from the crew.

"Woopdy Freakin' Doo!!! We caught one I repeat ONE ghost. We've got 12 more to go. Now quit celebrating and get going!" yelled Frank.
