The next morning Kennedy woke up to see Melissa standing over her.
"Melissa what the hell are you doing?"
"I've been trying to wake you up for the past 15 minutes." Melissa said, irritated.
"Oh, I'm sorry Mel. I just had a bad night last night." She explained to her friend.
"So what happened last night? Did you and that guy ghost have a fight?" Melissa asked, casually.
"His name's Royce and why would you think that?"
"Well last night after you went to your room, Royce said he'd be back later and everyone knows he went here. But anyway after a bit he came back looking kinda gloomy, so I figured you two must have had a fight."
"No it wasn't exactly a fight,but, I wasn't all that nice to him. I felt really bad for it afterwards."
"Oh well maybe later on today you can talk things over with him."
"Yeah I plan to."
"Well I'm gonna go to the living room, I'll see ya later on." Melissa said, walking to the door.
"Okay."
After Melissa left Kennedy hurried to get dressed, she needed to talk to Royce. She knew of the slight attraction between the two of them,but, wasn't quite sure if it was good thing. He's a ghost, a dead guy. She just didn't want to think about that right now, she just wanted to make sure she still has a friendship with him.
Meanwhile Melissa has entered the living room and notices that Wes is the only one down here.
"Hey Wes, what's up?" She asked as she sat down on the couch with him.
"Oh not much...you?"
"Pretty much the same."
"Can I ask you a question?" Wes asked.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Let's say you have feelings for a friend, would you tell the person and risk things changing or would you keep it to yourself?"
"I'd probably be doing the same thing you're doing. I think you should tell them, then you wouldn't have to be thinking and worrying about these things cause you'd already know."
Wes smiled "You know you're right, I never thought of it like that."
"Glad I could help."
"Well on that note than I think you should know that it is you I have feelings for. I've been feeling this way for a while now and just wasn't sure how to tell you." He said, becoming very nervous, fearing her response.
She looked at him shocked for a minute, not knowing what to do. She had no idea that he felt this way. Sure she has feelings for him,but, she didn't know that they weren't only onesided.
"Wow I had no idea that you felt this way. Truth is that I've been having feelings for you too."
"You have?" He asked, shocked.
"Yeah I have."
"Well what should we do now?"
"I'd like to start dating you,but, I'd like to go slow. Just to feel it out and see if we see it going anywhere."
"Sounds good to me."
They gave eachother a hug and held hands while they talked some more. Kennedy smiled from the hall and then walked away, looking for Royce. She had to say sorry for last night and explain it if she could.
She went into the basement in hopes of finding him and as she walked farther in she noticed exactly how many ghosts were actually. She'd only been in the basement for five minutes tops and already she'd seen seven. She turned the corner and found Royce in one of the cubes sitting on a demolished car.
"Royce." She said, softly.
"Kennedy! What are you doing down here?"
"I wanted to say I'm sorry for last night, I was being rude."
"You don't have to apologize Kennedy, it's alright."
"No, I do have to apologize. You see that trinket box holds alot of pain and memories for me..... This is very hard for me to say."
"You don't have to, it's okay."
"No I want to, I need to get it out."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me darling."
"Okay I'll start from the beginning. I had this friend, who I grew up with. We were more like sisters, did everything together, told eachother everything. Then my parents died and she was there for me. I was ten and she was eleven, she was all I had. Well on my sixteenth birthday she gave me that trinket box then we got in her car to go celebrate. Well on the way to the restaurant a car came speeding through a red light and hit us. The car was demolished and I had actually died,but, they were actually able to bring me back to the land of the living. My friend unfortunately wasn't so lucky, they said she died instantly. So yeah I'm not over it, I was devastated when I found out she died. That trinket box is kind of a touchy topic for me now." Kennedy said with tears streaming down her face.
"Oh my god Kennedy! I'm so sorry. I'm very glad you shared that with me though and don't worry it'll get better. The pain wont fully go away,but, it'll get easier to deal with with each day. I promise."
Kennedy smiled slightly and was glad that she talked with him about everything. She suddenly pulled him to her and gave him a tight hug. She pulled back after a minute and saw a look on Royces face that shes never seen on a guy, atleast not directed at her.
"Um...thanks." She said, slightly uncomfortable. "I'm gonna get back to the others."
"Alright doll." He said as he watched her leave.
Royce was beginning to have strong feeling for Kennedy and so soon too. It kind of scared him,but, he decided not to think about it. It was about time to take another risk in life.
