The Truth about Nana Simon.
I gaped at her, Nana was a mediator? Why didn't I get told that? No, I had to wander through the first 16 years of my life wondering "WHY THE HELL CAN I SEE GHOSTS?". Oh but a little word to say "No – you're not insane, you're a mediator." Is too much? Apparently so. My own grandmother! Huh! Some kind of grandmother she is! So if Nan can see ghosts … she'd see my dad. WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME? Is everyone in my family set against me?
I must have sighed or made a noise, because my "so-called-grandmother" turned around quickly. I ducked behind the door, but it was too late, she'd already seen me. "Susannah," she called as I emerged behind from behind the door "are you OK, you look like you've seen a ghost." Haha, very funny, how dare she act like she hadn't done anything. "did I wake you? Sorry I was just er … Praying." She had a guilty look on her face.
"Oh, you obviously pray differently than I do, " I screamed " When I pray, I DON'T USUALLY REQUIRE COMPANY!"
She looked in the direction that I was pointing in, then looked back at me "You can see him too?" she whispered, I nodded, still fuming "So … You're a mediator?"
"Yes, Nan, Why didn't' you tell me?" I shouted.
"Oh and do you march up to everyone you know saying "Look at me – Im a mediator – Send me to the loony bin"" she asked, I shook my head – that's (basically) what I'd said to Jack Slater. "See, how could I have known? Although now that I think about it – My grandmother was a mediator too, must go down in generation" she shrugged "Im sorry honey, come here." She said sweetly, enveloping me in a hug.
We must have been there because Ghost-boy cleared his throat and we sprung apart. "I tell you what, you go get some sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning" she said, I acted happy, but in the inside I despised her for making me return to my bed, to my sleep, to my dreams.
"Good Night" I said, kissing her on the cheek and I dragged my self to bed. I was tired with jet lag, and it was only 1 am. I'll stay awake, that's my plan. Just to avoid the dreams … but … I'm pretty tired …
