"So what did you want our first date to be?" Wes asked Melissa as she entered the room.

"I think dinner would be nice and a movie. Ooh and a walk in the park." Melissa answered exictedly.

"Okay where do you want to go for dinner?" Wes asked.

"Why don't you pick?"

"Hmm...how about Applebee's?

"Ooh that sounds good, I love Applebee's."

"Okay what movie do you want to see?"

"Definitly not a horror flick." Melissa answered, looking around her.

"How about a comedy?" Wes suggested.

"Yes that sounds good."

"I'll be so glad when we get out of here."

"Yeah I know me too,but, someone may not be feeling the same way we are."

"Who?....Kennedy?"

"Yeah, she's probably gonna miss Royce. They've been spending alot of time together."

"Yeah, I hardly see her anymore."

"I just hope she doesn't get too attached." Melissa said, concerned for her friend. "I mean there's no telling how long these ghosts will be here, they're not gonna be on earth forever."

Neither of them saw Kennedy standing outside Melissa's door, hearing their conversation. Kennedy walked away from Melissa's door and down the hall. She knew they were right and that was another reason why she wasn't sure if a relationship with Royce was the best idea.

She walked down to the basement and straight to Royce's cube,but, he wasn't there. She quickly left the basement and went to the kitchen and then the living room,but, he wasn't in either of those places. She really needed to talk to him,but, unfortunately he was nowhere to be found. She walked up the stairs on her way to her room when she heard Royce's voice.

"Are you looking for me?" He asked.

She turned around to see Royce leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and a smile on his face. He really is attractive.

"Um, actually yes. I need to talk to you." Kennedy finally answered after staring at him like an idiot teenager with a crush.

"What about darling?"

"Us."

"Really?" Royce's eyes shined with hope.

"I don't think that it's a good idea."

"What? Why?" Royce asked, frowning.

"I'm sorry Royce,but, I can't be with you. It wouldn't work."

"No don't be like this, your just scared. Believe me I was at first too,but, can't you see we belong together. I promise you wont be dissappointed, please just say you want to be with me." Royce pleaded.

"I can't, please leave me alone." Kennedy said, turning to walk away,but, what he said next made her stop and look at him.

"But I love you." Royce said, putting his heart on the line.

"I'm sorry,but, I don't love you."

Royce just stared at her with a heartbreaking look. He put his heart to her and she crushed it. She couldn't stand it anymore, she walked into her room and shut the door. Once she was gone Royce leaned against the wall and cried his heart out. Kennedy was leaning against the door with her eyes closed tightly, she opened them though when she heard him crying in the hall. Tears pricked her eyes at the sound, she just didn't know why this hurt so bad. She quickly moved over to the bed and let her tears fall freely onto the pillow.
