What do you think of Maddie?

After my little Eli incidence, I have been tense. We left the pond awhile ago. I could no longer take this silence…

"So, how did you die?" I asked Maddie trying to break the silence. It felt weird asking this question, it's not every day you go and ask someone how they died. "Huh? Oh, uh… well, my dad abused me. He'd slap me, and punch me. I've been in the hospital like six times because of him. A few weeks ago, when I died, he completely lost it. He got really drunk and beat me to death." she replied with a straight tone. "Oh…" was all I said. There was really not much I could say. "So, how did you die?" she asked slowly. I licked my now dry lips not wanting to tell her the whole story. "I, um, I killed myself" I said sort of nervously. "Really? Why?" she asked shocked. "Well it was my, kinda, sort of, boyfriends fault. Well ex-boyfriend if you want to put it that way. I just couldn't take it anymore. All I needed was space and all he does is try to pull me closer. But I don't blame it all on him. Just a year before his ex-girlfriend died. But that doesn't change anything. But it wasn't his entire fault either. My sister was the closest thing I had to family, but she moved halfway across the world. My mom and dad were always fighting-now there getting a divorce- and… yeah" I realized I was rambling; I stopped and took a breath. "It's a really long story" I ended. "It's okay, you don't have to tell it all, and I understand" she said glancing over at me. I just nodded and kept walked, still not know what it is that im looking for.

Soon it got dark and you knew it was night because it stayed dark for awhile. With the moon and stars as out only light we started walking to the gazebo in the middle of a wheat field. Halfway though the wheat field it started turning into water-told you this place was confusing but I was starting to get use to it- the strangest part of it, though, was I was walking on the water. We reached the gazebo. I was so tired. I laid down on the-now soft- ground of the gazebo. Closing my eyes and sleeping…

What am I doing here, in Eli's room? Am I dreaming?

"Just go away…" I heard Eli's sad voice say. "No, Eli, I won't go. You need to get out of your room and do something for once" I heard Adam's voice. "No, Adam, I can't and I won't. Just go home and leave me alone!" Eli said annoyingly. 'What's going on?' I though to myself. "Adam, what's going on here?" I said walking up to him. He just stood there looking down at Eli. "Hello? Adam?" I said while waving my hand in front of his face. Huh? As I was still waving my hand in front of his face he reached up to itch his nose and before I could move my hand away, his hand went through my wrist. Wait what? "Eli, come on! It's been over a month! Clare is not coming back! Get yourself back together!" Adam shouted to Eli who was still on the floor. Then Eli looked up. His hair was a mess and he had bags under his eyes. He was a complete mess; I can't stand to see him like this.

Somehow Adam persuaded Eli to get up, get a shower and go out. When they left to where ever they were going I went with them, not that they would know…

They were going to The Dot. I slipped out the door before Adam shut it. When Eli walked in Adam followed suit, the door shut right on my face. But nothing happened I just went right through it. I then realized that im a ghost or something. No one can hear or see me.

Eli walked to the back of the café, into a booth where there are no windows. Adam walked over there and sat across from him. I had to; I had to sit by Eli. I had to be close to him one last time. I walked over to their booth and sat next to him. It was weird, as soon as I sat down he shivered and I saw goose bumps crawl up his arm-the weather was perfect in and outside- , strange. "Adam, I just don't know what to do, I can't get over her you know? She was so close to me. I just… I just…cant" he said that last part with a shaky voice then bowed his head in his arms and started-silently- crying choking on sobs after a minute. I can't do this.

I walked to the door and out of instinct, I-tried- to grab it, but failed when my hand just went through it. I stepped through the door and blinked my eyes and realized that I had woken up.

I rubbed my eyes and realized that it was not a dream but what was happening to Eli right now. I sat up and looked out only to see water, water everywhere. I was thinking about Eli once again. How he looked so horrid. How he seemed like he can't live a day without thinking or wanting me. I never realized how much he needed me. The last thing that went through my mind was how all of the sudden Eli got those goose-bumps. The weather was perfect even in the restaurant it felt good. Did he feel me? There's no way. I'm not a ghost, am I? That explains it. That explains how Eli could see- or hear- me. That day when he said my name. When he got those goose bumps. Maybe some of my unanswered and unasked questions will unravel and ill move on, maybe.
