Chapter 6
*Less than a week had passed and Christian barly talked to me. We saw each other around but he merely smiled every time I looked his way.
How awkward it felt to say that. Yeah I saw my ghost friend around but we haven't talked too much. Sigh.
But on the good news Lisa was coming today. I was just leaving to pick her up from the airport.
"Christian? Christian?" I glanced around and he came into the room.
"I have to go to the airport. My friend is coming from Italy to visit." When he said nothing I felt so embarrassed. "Well I'll be back latter." Closing the door behind me I left.
At the airport I found Lisa immediately. She looked as good as she did the last time I had seen her. We talked all the way back to my home, but I didn't dare mention Christian to her.
However, when we arrived, she was the first to notice something wrong.
"Paula, why is your place completely dark? And who is that up there?"
Looking toward the third floor I saw Christian standing at the window.
"Oh my god!" Running in as fast as I could I ran to the third floor. The place was completely different. It had carpet and papers everywhere. Bottles of Absinthe were also everywhere and a huge hole in the ceiling.
All there was, was a bed and a desk. The smell was different and the walls were white.
"Shouldn't we call the cops or something?" Lisa asked frantically. It was as if the place belonged to some one else…
"CHRISTIAN?" I called.
"CHRISTIAN?"
"Paula who's Christian?"
"Shh!" I shot.
"Paula…" Lisa pointed toward the back window. But as soon as I looked I heard a gunshot. Watching Christian fall to the floor almost killed me. I rushed to his side.
However this time when I touched him I felt warm flesh, sweat and tears. Holding him close to me I felt his heart slowly stop and watched his eyes close.
"NO!" I screamed as I sobbed.
"What's going on? I don't understand! Christian! I love you please!" Suddenly all around me the wind blew crazily and cries of sorrow and death were all around.
The papers started flying everywhere and the desk fell over. Lisa grabbed my arm as I clenched to Christian and she pulled me from the room where he stay laying.
Dragging me back out to the car she drove away to a little park.
"You better tell me what just happened back there or I am going to commit myself!" She said pissed off.
So I sat there… and told her everything.
"Well how do you explain what just happened?" Lisa asked clam now.
"I don't know." I mumbled. "I don't know."
"Maybe it was it's yearly anniversary and reoccurred. I have no idea. Lisa I'm worried I think you just better go back to Italy, and I'll have you come back in a couple weeks ok?" Lisa nodded obediently and we drove back to the airport.
That night I returned home cautiously. Opening my door I realized everything was back to normal. Everything was neat and clean, the carpet and walls were nice again a pale yellow and the halls were quiet.
"Christian?" I whispered. I didn't know what else to do.
I grew angry; I was tired of being tested! This isn't fun! I hated it!
"CHRISTIAN SHOW YOURSELF OR I'LL WALK OUT RIGHT NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!" I screamed. I knew it was lie. I heard his footsteps echoing in the hallway behind me.
I turned and looked at him. He was the same Christian I'd first met, with the boyish grin and the hot chocolate colored hair.
I know I'd never forget it.
"Christian I wish you could hold me." I whispered.
"Trust me, if I had one wish it'd be to do just that." He replied. I couldn't control myself and broke down into a sob. I fell to my knees, but there was nothing either of us could do about it.
"Please don't cry." He whispered getting as close to my face as he could. That only tempted me more to lean in to his lips. But even if I did, I'd just feel air.
"I feel so alone." I whispered.
"I promise to never leave you." He smiled with tears in his own eyes. That promise I'm going to cherish forever.
*How I loved her, if only I could tell her. But I never would. I never will. She feel asleep there against the wall and I watched over her all through the night. She was so delicate I couldn't understand it. Never have a seen one so fragile.
"Never." I repeated attempting to touch her hair. But I just went through it, as if it weren't there at all. Soon enough early that morning I fell asleep as well. It wasn't until tomorrow night would I feel as if life has started over.
DUM-DUM-DUM! Almost done! Then it's on to the sequel! YAY! Yes there will be a sequel, already got it figured out! So please R&R telling me what you think so I know you really want a sequel! LOL
