"adena?" squib whispered scratching her door

"squib? what are you doing here its so late..is something rong with mabel?"

''no no i just i had to tell you right now, it couldnt wait"

"what is it?"...

"do you think im crazy?" squib asked after telling adena about cody

"i dont know" adena sat down the steps "i mean how..why me?"

"she trusts you with everything"

"ya..." adena started to cry

"you ok?"

"we weren't always there for her"

"what do you mean?"

"cody, i mean do you know how many times she felt like an outcast...we did that to her squib! us! and after all that she still trusts me"

"dena of coarse she trusts you, you were her best friend"

"i didnt act like it"

"you did, if you didnt you'd think she'd ask for you?"

adena stared up squib and suddenly felt better...not great or perfect but better

"just think of this as your extended favour to her"

"i could never take cody's place"

"and your not, your just filling a spot that cody cant"

"that sounds like im replacing her"

"no, your temperarly taking over ok not replacing her!"

"squib," adena breathed out "she's not coming back"

"what? you think..."

"i think your trying to hold on to whatever you can get"

"so im making this up?"

"no, but you talk like she's on vacation, but she's not, she's on a permanent vacation"

"do you wanna make this hurt even more?"

"i dont want you to hold on to a ghost"

"stop it..." squib warned backing away

"its not healthy"

"adena stop!"

"squib! she's gone! and she's not coming back!"

"ADENA!" squib shook her by the shoulders but suddenly let go once he realized he was scaring her
"im sorry" he whispered collapsing to his knees

"squib its.."

"no, look dont worry about me...just promise cody you'll take care of mabel" squib rushed up again

"...ill make sure she knows how much her mom loved her, ill tell her that everday"

"loves"

"what?"

"cody still LOVES her"

"squib.."

"look umm you promised and thats all, ill see you around ok?"

"squib...squib come back," adena called but as usual squibs head was too stubborn to here anything, but lately it just seemed like he got even stubbornner

--------squib headed to the back courts ready to cry, he wasent go crazy, and he wasent holding on to a ghost...but he FOR SURE wasent about to forget cody and act as if she never existed...but was he really supposed to let go?

"hey" a familiar voice was back

"cody.."

"you ok?" the figure sat down beside him

"your not here, no your not"

"yes i am, come on squib we could always talk here"

"am i really going crazy?"

cody laughed her smile lightening up her entire face "squib no, your not..but when you say it like that"

"i did it" he interuppted her laugh

"i know, thanks"

"anything for you city girl" he tried a weak smile

"is that all my squibby can give me? some half broken smile?"

"its hard"

"im sorry"

"its not your fault"

she smiled then paused looking down"thanks again though"

"for?"

"sticking up for me when you talked to adena"

"id never let someone talk about you like that"

"thats why i love you" she leaned down and gave him a small sweet peck on the lips

"dont" he shook his head "dont go"

"i never will" cody just smiled as her image faded, leaving squib to cry alone...but little did he know that around the corner behing the gate was adena, who watched the whole thing, but didnt see cody..only a broken squib talking to a light figure she couldnt make out..but it couldnt of been cody right?
