(By the way, Kay hasn't told Miguel she loves him and nothing like that hell thing, soul thing, or anything supernatural has happened. I think I'm gonna go ahead and leave the supernatural out of this story! Hope you like!)
(Also...BBMak's *Ghost of You and Me* is used in this chapter.)
Kay silently stared at Simone's book, which was lying on the floor of the suburban. She was still lying on the seat, and her hand, which was slowly poking at the book, hung down to the floor. Kay's long brown hair was pushed up over her ear and away from her face, and her now exposed cheeks itched from where the tears that had rolled down earlier dried up.
"Kay?" Simone asked loudly, beating the window of the automobile. "Kay, are you still in there?" She cupped her hands around her eyes and pressed them against the tinted windows to see inside.
Kay sluggishly arose from the seat and pounded back on the window where Simone was looking in, as in responding that she was in the car. Her hand casually reached out to the door handle, and she opened it, letting her friend come inside.
"Hey," Simone started who was climbing into the suburban. "What are you still doing in here? You've been in here for like twenty minutes."
After looking back down to the ground, Kay reached downward and picked up the book that she had originally set out to find. "Searching for your book, of course," she replied coolly.
Simone gave Kay a disbelieving expression. "We've been friends since like, forever, and I think I know when something is bothering you. What's up?" She asked.
"I don't want to talk about it, alright?" Kay said firmly as she began to move towards the door to get out.
"Kay...talk." Simone replied stubbornly.
Kay rolled her eyes and sighed. "I just happened to walk in on Miguel and Charity together kissing, touching and talking about going all the way. Ok?" She said agitatedly.
"I see." Simone replied. "I'm sorry, honey, that you had to walk in on that...but, my job as your friend is to remind you that they are in fact together, and seeing them like that is usually a common occurrence between boyfriend and girlfriend."
Kay chuckled softly. "And these are suppose to be...comforting words?"
Simone quickly smirked, but her serious expression returned as quickly as it had disappeared. "I'd rather tell you the cold hard truth then feed you false ideas that will only prove false in the future."
"Gee, thanks, good friend." Kay replied, followed by a giggle.
"That's what I'm here for," Simone replied in a joking manner. "Now...let's get out of here. I sure know I didn't plan to spend my entire vacation in the damn car!" She grabbed Kay's hand and they quickly hopped out. They ran, while laughing, the whole way towards the cabin.
~~*~~*~~*
Later that night, Kay lay awake in her bed. Simone had already fallen asleep, and so had everyone else in the cabin. She glanced over to the clock that was sitting on the nightstand between Simone and her bed. It read 12:05 AM.
"Great...I can add insomniac to my list of personal problems. Like I need any more..." she trailed off. The sound of the ocean could still be heard from outside and it eerily called to Kay. "There can't be any harm in standing on the cliff and listening to waves," she said to herself.
~* What am I suppose to do?
~* With all these blues...
She pushed the sheet off of the bed, and sat up near the edge of the bed.
~* Haunting me, everywhere...
~* No matter what I do.
Her feet silently hit the cold ground below, and she slipped them into her warm house shoes. She picked herself up, and stood beside her bed.
~* Watching the candle, flicker out
~* In the evening glow...
~* When will this night be over?
She silently walked past her friend who was sleeping in her bed, and trailed off towards the door to their bedroom. The moon cast a ghostly glow into the room, and it gave Kay the odd sense of being cold.
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through.
~* It isn't love, it's robbery.
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
Kay soundlessly crept through the cabin's front room. The two couches to her sides still had figures lying on them, and she assumed that Miguel and Reese must have already fallen asleep.
~* Seen a lot of broken hearts,
~* Go sailing by...
~* Phantom ships, lost at sea,
~* And one of them is mine.
After pulling her silky nightgown tight, she walked over to the couch to her left, and found Miguel sleeping comfortably. A smile crept upon her face as she noticed that he was sleeping peacefully, and that made her happy. She looked up at the window above Miguel, and noticed the stars out in the sky.
~* Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky,
~* I wonder why, the stars don't seem to guide me...
She glanced back down to Miguel, and felt her heart breaking. He didn't love her. He probably never would. She hadn't told him she loved him...so maybe there was a chance, but maybe not.
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through
~* It isn't love it's robbery,
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
Kay put her hand to her mouth, and sadly blew him a kiss. She didn't know if it was a goodbye kiss, or a goodnight kiss, but it was definitely a kiss. She continued on, and quietly opened the front door, and walked outside into the icy darkness that waited. The sound of the ocean was better heard now, and it called to her. The wind blew softly, making her nightgown wrap around her figure. She walked on, and found a bench at the very top of the cliff that they were on, that overlooked the ocean.
~* The ghost of you and me,
~* When will it set me free?
~* I hear the voices call,
~* Following footsteps down the hall,
~* Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul...
Kay sat down, and wrapped her arms around herself at her waist. The wind was chilling, and it reminded Kay of how she always felt at night...alone and numb. She wanted to cry again, but she wouldn't. Not this time. She was a tough girl, and tough girls didn't cry. Not over boys who didn't love them.
~* Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow...
~* I can't let go.
~* When will this night be over?
"Hey," a voice said that startled Kay. She quickly turned around to see a figure standing behind her in the darkness. The figure turned a little, and the moonlight revealed Miguel standing before her in his warm ups, and light jacket. He didn't have a shirt on, but only had the jacket to keep him warm.
"Miguel..." Kay said, shocked. "What are you doing out here this late at night?"
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through,
~* It isn't love, it's robbery,
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
"Well," he started. "When someone gives you a goodnight kiss, you usually have to say goodnight back," he said with a warm smile. He walked over to bench, and sat down beside Kay.
Kay felt herself blushing that he had seen her blow him the kiss. "I didn't think you would see that," she said.
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through,
~* It isn't love, it's robbery,
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
"Well," he said, "I did. And for some reason...and I don't know why...it made me happy."
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through,
~* It isn't love, it's robbery,
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
"You...what?" Kay asked bewildered.
~* I didn't mean to fall in love with you...
~* And baby there's a name for what you put me through,
~* It isn't love, it's robbery,
~* I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me...
"I said I think I felt something. Do you have something you need to tell me Kay?" he asked, as his hand softly touched hers. He continued to look at her, with hope in his eyes.
Kay was speechless.
