Julia's POV:
I didn't really feel anything, to be honest. The only senses I had left were sight and hearing. Us spirits, we roamed Earth, watching over our loved ones. I had found out that my mom finally got help for her addiction, and that Eli was head over heels in love with Clare Edwards. He didn't see it, but I did. She was quite pretty, with ginger curls and crisp blue eyes. She treated him very well, and he got very touchy-feely in front of her. And I can't help but think it's my fault.
Heaven was working wonders for me. Every day I would visit J.T, the man I'd fallen in love with. I visited Eli, in his sleep. If his dreams involved me, I snapped his mind back to Clare. I followed him around school, I learned the things I never got to. I sat right in the empty seat behind him, and developed opinions on his peers. I had grown quite fond of Adam, I thought h was adorably awkward, almost like a young dog. I know if I had lived I would've been great friends with Clare, and I hated how Eli would shrug off her flirts.
And when he told her he led her on, I knew it was my fault. I needed to fix this.
Eli was walking down the beach, though I don't see the point if he was wearing jeans and shoes. He shed a few tears, as did I. Or at least emotionally, after all I am dead. I trailed off a few feet behind him, feeling the sudden urge to grab his waist and tell him I'm right here. But then he muttered, and I silently stepped a little faster to catch up. "This sounds cliché, but Jules, can you give me a sign as to where you are?" he sobbed. His paced slowed down until he stopped in his tracks. I fell to my knees, digging my finger in the sand, writing in my signature scribble.
He chuckled a bit. "I know Jules, I feel you with me. And we'll see." he winked, let out the last of his tears, and walked to Morty.
I watch you, I pray for the best. I'm with you every second, and if you ever start to think I don't love you, you're terribly wrong. Don't miss me though, Clare needs you. And I'm nosy, so I watch her. Tell her how you feel, Eli. You'd make both of us happy. I want to see little Elis and Clares one day, and don't you forget that, mister.
And to answer your question, I am right here, just below your nose. As always.
Love,
Julia
