Gabe sighed, sitting down and watching what was happening down below. She bit her lip as she saw Jack. Fighting the urge to cry she remembered how she had gotten there, why she was forced to stay here while Jack was left alone in the world.

Gabe spun around, her eyes tightly shut to block the bright light surrounding here. " Where am I? Hello?? Anyone?? What's going on?" She shouted, fear beginning to take over.
" Home." A male voice quietly said and Gabe jumped. She recognized that voice from somewhere, but she couldn't pin point it.
" Who are you?"
" Open your eyes Gabe… the lights gone." The voice calmed her fears, and Gabe timidly opened her eyes a crack, smiling when she wasn't greeted with blinding light.
" Josh?" Gabe whispered, tears brimming in her eyes. " Is it really you?"
" Yeah… it's me Gabe." Josh smiled weakly.
" Oh my God… I- we thought you were dead!" Gabe exclaimed, hugging him. " Oh no." She whispered seeing his sad smile. " Oh this is a dream… oh no…"
" Gabe-"
" I can't be dreaming- I wouldn't be able to touch you- Oh man… if you're here, and I can touch you- Oh…" Gabe rambled, a look of horror crossing the teen's face. " I can't be… I'm not right?"
" Dead? Yes… you are Gabe…" Josh said quietly, his eyes sad. Memories flooded through Gabe's mind, flashing so quickly that the girl soon felt dizzy.
" I… oh no… my dad?"
" He's dead also Gabe."
" Where-"
" He's with your mother Gabe."
" Then why am I here? Why aren't I with them?" Gabe whispered, tears freely falling from her face.
" You have a job to do."
" That job would be…?"
" To help Jack."
" I- what?"
" You have to help me, help Jack and Annie."
" Why? What did they-" Gabe began but stopped herself, sinking to the floor. " Oh this is bad… this is real bad… I didn't die by accident did I?" She asked, looking up at Josh, her heart dropping.
" No…"
" They did it… I was too close…"
" Now do you understand?"
" Yeah… I understand perfectly…" Gabe said sighing. " What do I have to do?"

" Hey stranger… what's going on down there that's so interesting?" Josh asked, sitting next to his friend. Gabe jumped, then glared at her friend.
" I hate when you do that."
" I know, that's what makes it so much more fun." Josh said grinning. Gabe laughed and looked back down, biting her lip. " Oh… and what's happening on today's episode?" He asked, yawning.
" He's hurting." Gabe said softly. " I hate seeing him this way."
" So let him go."
" What?"
" Let him go. Easy as that. Let him live again."
" What are you talking about? He is living!"
" No he's not. There's a part of you that isn't ready to let him go, and it's holding him back. That's why he's like that."
" And you'd know oh so much about this too huh?"
" Yeah… I would. You aren't the only one who lost someone." Josh said softly, glancing down at Annie.
" Sorry Josh… it's just that… it's hard, you know?"
" Believe me, I know. And it only gets harder from here." Josh said, sighing. A few minutes of silence passed and a smile began to form on Josh's lips. " I think Annie has a crush on Jack."
" What?!" Gabe exclaimed, looking at the two. " How could she? He's my-"
" Was."
" Josh…"
" Gabe."
" Not funny. This is a crisis! She can't fall in love with him! He's-"
" It's not a crisis Gabe."
" Wow, did Cupid hit you with his damn bow or something Josh? They are not going to get together, he loves ME!"
" Of course he's going to love you Gabe. Now. But wait until he finally realizes that he can't hold out for a ghost, waiting for you to return to him."
" It won't happen."
" They will too Gabe." Josh said, standing up and leaving the room.
" It can't happen." Gabe whispered, sighing. " I won't let it happen…" Gabe whispered, a tear dripping down her cheek.
