Next Chapter...
Summary: Tori has seen ghosts for awhile now and she thought that she was the only one who could. Maybe she was mistaken...
"What? He told you." She asked slightly shocked.
"Look, I know that this might be a lot to handle right now, but he trusted me with a lot of things. I want to help you, because that would make Tom happier. Believe me on that one. Can we just come in, please?" I asked politely.
She eyed me for a second. "Fine." That was her reply before she led us inside. Chris, Jade and I sat down on the couch while Tom followed his sister in the kitchen. He was really worried, but also happy to see her. They came back a little later. Kirsten had made coffee for everybody.
"Thank you." We both replied when she handed us the coffee.
"How long were you two together?" She asked me.
I looked at Tom who just shrugged. "8 months." I replied. Please let her buy this lame excuse.
"How did you two meet?" She asked. Why were all these questions necessary?
I didn't even look at Tom this time. He wasn't going to help me in any way. "I was getting coffee. Tom was there too and he spilled his coffee all over me. He apologized and sort of helped me clean up. Then he started flirting which he is really good and he asked me on a date." I said with a smile. Tom smiled at me too.
Kirsten chuckled softly. "Tom is... was a really good flirter. I just can't believe that his skills even worked after he spilled coffee all over you."
"Well, it did." I replied with a smile.
"So what does he want concerning me? Did he leave a note for you or something?" She asked.
I shook my head. "I heard about his death a week after. That's why I wasn't there at the funeral. I'm really sorry about that. He didn't even tell me about his operation. He probably didn't want to worry me. I just know that he was really worried about you. He really wants you to tell your boyfriend. He'll probably be thrilled about the news. It would also give you some support. You seem that you really need that." I told her.
She hesitated for a couple of seconds. "I guess that maybe I should. My stomach is also getting bigger. I can't hide it forever." Kirsten said.
"Good." I smiled.
"Did he ever tell you that he loved you?" Kirsten asked.
This time I did look at Tom. He told me what I needed to say. "Not really. I knew that he loved me, but you know Tom he doesn't talk much about his feelings. So I never got a straight I love you, but I did tell him." I told Kirsten.
Kirsten smiled slightly. "I'm pretty sure that he did. You really seem like a great guy for Tom."
"Thanks. That means a lot." I said.
A moment later, the door opened. "Kirsten, I'm home early." I heard someone yell. That someone was probably her boyfriend. A little later, her boyfriend appeared and was obviously surprised to see us.
"Who are these two girls?" He asked Kirsten. His expression was slightly confused.
"Jade and Tori. Tori was Tom's girlfriend." Kirsten explained.
"Wait, Tom had a girlfriend? I thought that he was single." He said and he was probably more confused than before.
"I thought that as well, but Tom tended to keep girlfriends a secret. Our parents would have probably questioned Tori like crazy and Tom didn't really feel like going through that process. I can imagine. It was difficult enough with you." She explained.
"Well nice to meet both of you. I'm Gregg Daniels by the way." He told us with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too." Jade and I said in union. Gregg sat down next to his girlfriend.
"I need to tell you something by the way. That is the whole reason why these two girls are here. I told Tom this and Tom trusted this secret with Tori. It is probably more important to you than to them." Kirsten told him. Gregg looked at her with worried eyes. "I'm pregnant." That was the whisper heard throughout the room.
My eyes carefully followed the scene in front of me. Kirsten looked down. She was probably too afraid to face her boyfriend. Her boyfriend's face was very clear. Happiness was all over his face. He had a huge grin on his face.
"So that's why you were getting bigger! I can't believe that I'm going to be a father." He exclaimed happily before throwing his arms around his girlfriend. A kiss followed.
"How long are you?" He asked.
"Three months." Kirsten admitted with a smile on her face. Her boyfriend had taken it just fine.
Jade and I stood up. This grabbed the attention of both of them. "It was great meeting the two of you, but we should get going. You probably want some privacy and we need to get home." Jade told them.
They nodded. "Nice meeting you too. I hope to see you some other time, Tori." Kirsten said.
"Have a nice evening." I told them as we left.
Tom smiled happily at me. "Thanks, Tori. It means a lot to me that you did this." He told me.
"No problem." I told him. Chris and Tom both disappeared. Tom wasn't in the light yet, but he was very close to being there.
Jade and I started our drive home. It wasn't unusual. We both didn't say much. We were both trying to process everything that had just happened. Suddenly our quiet ride home was disturbed. The steering wheel decided to steer on its own. Jade didn't notice anything strange.
"Jade, the steering wheel isn't listening to me." I told her. Jade looked at me and saw what was happening. A huge struggle for the steering wheel started. What on earth was going on?
