A/N In this chapter I am attempting to make you feel sorry for Tom. I feel bad for the guys. Here you all are telling me to slice and dice him like stupid Ben Moss. Ya know what is kinda weird. Though everyone else thinks that the part where Ben Moss gets cut in two is gross I think its funny as hell. I think a lot of things are funny as hell. I hope you like this chapter.



Dennis' quote of the day: "I hope I don't bleed to death cuz that would suck."

"Why her though?" Tom asked in a whiny tone as he glanced from Liz to Cyrus (a/n: Damn it! I've changed my ways.).

"Why do you care so much about her?" Cyrus asked sharply.

"I'm connected to her somehow. There is something about her," Tom replied as he stared at the ground.

"It's just hormones," Cyrus snapped as he whacked Tom with his cane.

"Don't talk to me as if I'm a teenager," Tom snapped back.

"Then don't act like one!" Cyrus yelled.

"We are not using her as our fourth ghost," Tom said grimly.

"Either she dies and becomes our ghost or you die," Cyrus threatened.

Tom shook his head violently and finally came to say, "You sick fuck! Why the hell does to have to be her? Damn it this sucks!"

"She is perfect! Now go kill her," Cyrus whacked Tom with the cane again.

Tom rolled his eyes and left the room to fetch the 'guests'.

"Arthur, how can you even consider going in that house?" Dennis asked.

"Lizzie, are you okay? You look all pale," Kathy looked over to the ghostly pale Elizabeth.

Liz shook from being startled then said, "I'm just peachy keen."

"Are you sick?" Bobby asked.

"No, I'm not sick. There just is something about this house," Liz mumbled.

"Yeah, there is something about this house. It's filled with ghosts and contains the eye of hell," Dennis said sarcastically.

"I don't know how they rebuilt all of it in only four months," Arthur commented as he looked at the house.

Kathy paced around Liz then asked, "Do you really like Tom?"

"I just met him. I don't even know him."

"You know you like him for his looks," Kathy teased.

"His eyes are so mean. Maybe he's been hurt a lot," Liz said in a more-to- herself tone.

"Then don't hurt the poor guy," Kathy said this as if it was the simplest thing to do.

"My heart doesn't belong to him," She muttered.

"How close where you with Dennis Rafkin?" Kathy asked suspiciously.

"I was his girlfriend at some point. Then he ended it," Liz thought back to the day he ended it.

~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been two days after Dennis proposed. He had been avoiding her. Then he came to talk to her.

"Hey Lizzie," Dennis said in a cold tone as he ached to kiss her.

"Dennis, hi!" Luz smiled and pulled Dennis into a hug.

As soon as he touched her the visions and the pain returned. He pulled away and muttered, "Don't touch me."

Liz's eyes filled with hurt as she muttered back, "Okay."

"Lizzie, please don't look at me like that. You know I love you," Dennis said after he noticed her eyes.

Liz put on a fake smile to make Dennis happy.

"Lizzie, can we talk," Dennis asked in the cold tone.

Liz nodded as she thought and knew what they would be talking about.

"This is really hard for me to say," Dennis began.

Liz stared out the window.

"I don't know how I'm going to say this but." Dennis started then trailed off.

"Just say it," Liz commanded.

"I can't be with you anymore," Dennis spat out.

Tears filled Elizabeth's eyes as she turned away from Dennis and yelled, "Get the hell out!"

"I love you, Lizzie," Dennis said softly.

"Then why are you leaving me?"

"It used to be that when I touched you I didn't feel anything but love. Now I feel pain. I feel your pain. I feel the pain that you felt when you were being beat. I feel all your pain when I touch you," Dennis said gently.

"I am so sorry," Liz said through sobs. She wanted Dennis to hold her and tell her it would all be okay but she knew that couldn't happen.

"I will always love you Lizzie," Dennis said and left.

After he was gone Liz let out a small scream as she threw her ring out the window.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Why didn't you say you dated Dennis before?" Kathy asked.

"I don't know. I just don't want to talk about Dennis."

At that moment Tom walked out still wearing his spectral viewers.

Dennis laughed and said, "See, he's wearing spectral viewers. That dumbass."

"You said there aren't any ghosts in the house," Arthur said after noticing the spectral viewers.

"Yeah, there aren't. What makes you think there are?" Tom asked in a confused way.

"What's with the spectral viewers?" Kathy asked.

Shit, Tom thought as he pulled off the spectral viewers.

"What the hell are spectral viewers?" Tom decided to play dumb.

"You know what spectral viewers! Don't fucking lie," Dennis yelled.

"They're glasses that help you see the ghosts," Bobby answered.

After what happened four months ago Bobby found a new obsession. He was obsessed with ghosts now. He knew everything you needed to know about ghosts and how to capture them.

"If they are spectral viewers there aren't any ghosts in this house," Tom lied again.

"Let's go inside," Kathy said.

"Go inside, I'll be inside in a second." Tom said.

As Liz began heading towards the door Tom grabbed her by the wrist. She looked back into his eyes, which were showing concern.

"Can we talk?" Tom asked.

"What about?" Liz asked back.

"You went out with Dennis Rafkin?" Tom asked quickly.

Dennis stood there glaring at Tom viciously.

"How do you know?" Liz asked as she stared into his eyes.

"I could tell," Tom answered. This was half true. He suspected that they had been something when he was at the Criticos apartment.

"If you were friends with Dennis why weren't you at the funeral?" Liz asked.

"I don't know why. I have issues with funerals," Tom lied for the millionth time.

"Stop lying to Liz, you bastard!" Dennis yelled.

"I want you to be safe in the house," Tom whispered in her ear.

She sent him the weirdest look and replied, "Okay."

"Be safe," Tom whispered as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't touch her! Don't kiss her! I will kill you," Dennis yelled.

A/N I think this chapter sucks. Then again I have no self-esteem.

Do you all like Tom now? If not that's okay. In the next chapter they go inside the house and Tom's plans backfire.
