Author's note: I forgot to mention in the previous author's note that I 100% do not think Julia was pregnant when she died. I just put that in this book for whatever reason, but I believe with all of my heart that she wasn't pregnant. So anyway, I was having a bad day and wasn't gonna update but your reviews made me smile so here ya go.
"Hey, JT?" I asked as we walked aimlessly around Toronto, holding hands.
"Yeah?"
"Do you…do you think Eli is better off without me?" I whispered, looking down.
JT cupped my chin and brought my face up to look at him. "What makes you even think that?"
"I just see how happy he is with Clare and I don't know if I ever made him that happy,"
"Julia, I'm sure he was very happy with you. You were his first love?"
I nodded.
"Then he was probably ecstatic. Your first love is always the best. You get that feeling like you're floating,"
"I know and I really did love Eli, but he's so happy with Clare that it makes me feel…"
"Forgotten?" JT guessed.
"Yeah. I mean it's not like I want Eli to suffer over me for years, but I do feel like he forgot me,"
"I know what it feels like. Last year, I thought Liberty had forgotten me. But when I went back to watch over her one night, I found a letter she was writing. It was to me about how she loved me more than anyone, missed me, wants me back. It goes on and on. I know Eli hasn't forgotten about you. You'll stumble across it one day. And you'll realize he still loves you all the same,"
I smiled. "Promise?"
"I promise,"
JT smiled back at me and then looked deep into my eyes. "You miss him, don't you?"
"All the time," I whispered.
"Would a distraction help?"
"What did you have in mind?" I smirked at him - a habit I'd picked up from Eli.
"Well…I was thinking…" JT leaned down to kiss my cheek again. He whispered his words against my…skin? "I could take you to see what Liberty looks like. Get your mind off Eli for a while,"
"JT, you don't have to do that. If it's gonna make you sad-"
"It won't. I haven't checked on her in a couple months - I wanna make sure she's okay,"
He took my hand. "Come on, let's go,"
We continued walking farther out of Toronto. I wasn't really paying attention to where we were going - just let JT lead the way. We started running after a couple hours and soon it felt like we were flying. JT never let go of my hand.
It was dark when we arrived to a small suburban house. It was a dark blue and it almost blended in with the night. There was one light on in the top corner of the house.
Being ghosts, JT and I just walked through the front door. He towed me up the stairs and we walked through another door that led us to a bedroom. A tall dark haired man just sat down on the bed and pulled the covers over his body.
"Liberty, are you coming to bed?" he asked.
"Is this her husband?" I whispered into JT's ear. He nodded.
"Yeah, give me a minute!" A women called from what I guessed what the bathroom.
A tallish sandy colored hair women stepped out. She was wearing a white silk nightgown and she took off her glasses, setting them on the nightstand. She crawled into bed next to the man and kissed him. "Night, Damien, I love you,"
"I love you, too, Liberty,"
Damien reached over and turned off the lamp.
JT sighed. "She's happy, I guess,"
"I'm sure she was a lot happier with you," I said as we walked back downstairs and outside.
"She was. I could see the happiness in her eyes, now it's just…"
"Not there," I finished.
"Not at all,"
I smiled. "We need something to get your mind off of Liberty now," I pulled his hand a little harder and we began running back towards Toronto.
"Are we going to see Eli?" he asked as we ran.
"No, I cant handle that. We're going to the beach,"
"Uh, Julia, I know you're a newbie and everything, but we cant swim,"
"So we'll walk on the ocean's surface," I shrugged and ran faster, pulling JT along.
He laughed and followed me, running faster than me. "I'll race ya," he said, letting go of my hand.
"You're on,"
We began running really fast, but JT was always ahead of me. We stopped when we reached the docks.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" I asked.
"I've never done this before. I thought it was kinda pointless if we cant swim,"
"You have to know. C'mon, JT, it's not like you're gonna die," I said sarcastically.
"Ha-Ha," he mocked. "What exactly do we do?"
"Here, take my hand," I said, holding my hand out. "I've done this a billion times. It's fun,"
JT's hand slid into mine and I stepped forward, pulling him with me.
We dropped to the bottom of the lake and stepped on the sand. He smiled at me. I still held his hand as we maneuvered through the dark water. I always enjoyed this, but I enjoyed it more in the daylight, where you could see things.
We continued walking until we started to break out of water. We walked up onto the beach and collapsed in the dry sand.
"Thanks, Julia, I need that…and it was really fun,"
"I know," I smiled over at him.
He leaned over to me and brushed some of my hair out of my face. The sun was starting to come up, giving him a special glow. JT looked beautiful right here. The most beautiful ghost I've ever seen.
"So…beautiful," he whispered, leaning closer to me.
I met him halfway and our lips connected. It was a weird sensation. Obviously, I've never kissed another ghost, but this felt almost…right. Like I belonged here, with JT.
It was a short, sweet kiss and he pulled back to look at me. I smiled.
JT took my hand and we walked the sun rise. All I could think about in that moment was I've never felt happier.
Author's note: blah. I didn't like this as much I thought I would. But part of me loves it so much. I don't know, I'm having a crappy day.
Review for some virtual ice cream and cake? Kthanks.
