Back to Eddy
"This is too cliche, the introduction of a supernatural entity that is supposed to help one of the main characters." Eddy retorted. He and Sonya were debating her existence.
"Good thing this is life huh?" She questioned. "Besides, I would've been stuck here even if you guys hadn't moved in. It just so happens that you and I can relate on a few things."
"Like what?" Eddy demanded. He still didn't want to accept the fact that there may be a ghost "living" in his apartment.
"Like losing someone you love." Sonya pointed out.
"Is that why you're still here? Watching your ex?" Eddy inquired. Now his questioning turned into sheer curiosity.
"Honestly, I'm too scared to move on." Sonya answered. Eddy nodded in silent agreement.
"I know exactly what you mean." He muttered.
"Look, you've been without your girlfriend for a long time, don't you think it's about time to start playing the field?" Sonya asked.
"Not interested." Eddy answered shortly.
"You can't honestly tell me that there is no girl out there you're interested in?" Sonya pried. Eddy's thoughts drifted back to his childhood crush Nazz and his hard exterior soften briefly.
"Ah ha! So there is one." Sonya exclaimed. Eddy shook his head in all seriousness.
"She changed after she officially hooked up with another guy. I don't think she'd be my type any more." He replied. Sonya pouted and pulled her legs up onto the couch.
"Well thank you Mister Difficult." Sonya said.
"I just don't want anyone here okay?" Eddy shot back. Sonya said nothing but rested her chin on her knees.
"I'm thinking it really sucks not to be female." She said after a few moments.
"What do you mean?" Eddy asked. He was getting annoyed very quickly. Sonya shrugged.
"It's just that, if a girl goes through a really bad heartbreak, she cries, eats ice cream, blabs to her friends and gets over it. Men bottle it all up inside till they explode at anyone who was stupid enough to push them." She explained. Suddenly, Eddy felt all of his anger melt away, he was being stupid. Sonya was doing nothing but trying to help him and he was getting upset.
"Sonya," Eddy started as he stood. "I appreciate this, I really do. But I'm tired." Sonya nodded and stood up as well.
"I understand. Goodnight Eddy." She replied.
"Goodnight Sonya. You'll probably be gone in the morning." Eddy mumbled as he walked toward his bedroom.
