Christina's POV

So now Peeta knows me and Sam's secret. You know it's good to finally have someone other than my brother, mother and father to talk to about it.
"Peeta are you staying for dinner?" Mum came up and asked him.
"Sure I would love to."
Oh no…I've never actually had a boy to dinner before…this will be interesting.
Me, Sam and Peeta were at the dinner table waiting for Mum and Dad. Mum came with the food and sat down.
"Where's Dad?" I asked.
"He's working late but he should be home any minute now."
Ding dong. Did I mention Dad has really creepy timing? Every time one of us mentions him he suddenly appears. And he's not even a ghost…any more…
Mum got up to meet him at the door so they can have a mini make out session. She does it every day. I've never seen 2 people so in love! It's disgusting!
"Wow. Your parents sure do love each other." Peeta said amazed.
"This is nothing. Once we walked in on them making out on the dinner table." I told him. He looked down at the dinner table with big eyes.
"That's why we now have a table cloth."
Peeta and dad shook hands and introduced each other then we all started eating.
"So which one are you here for? Sam or Christina?" Dad asked Peeta.
"Christina." Peeta answered.
"Oh I see…How long have you been dating?" I swear I was that close to spitting out the coke I was drinking.
"DAD!"
"What?"
"We are not dating!"
"Sorry…So Christina how long have you had a crush on him for?"
"DAD!"
"What? I just assumed you did since every girl Sam brings home for dinner he has a crush on."
"DAD!" this time Sam yelled it while Peeta was trying hard not to laugh…trying and failing.
"Jesse stop teasing." Thank God mum's here.
"I mean most of Christina's friends she's brought to dinner Sam's also had a crush on."
"MUM!" ok now Peeta, Mum and Dad were laughing. Why do people enjoy embarrassing us so much? I wish we could just go invisible! Oh wait…we can. Only problem is that we were at a table full of mediators!
"Ok we'll stop now." Dad finally said while me and Sam were in the middle of hitting our heads on the table.
Suddenly some one's phone started ringing. Since nearly everyone in the world has the same ringtone everyone pulled out there phone.

"Not me"
"Not me"
"Not me"
"Not me" just one person left. Peeta.
"Sorry it's my Mum. I'll be back in a sec."
A few minutes later he came back to the table.
"I'm sorry but would I be able to stay here the night? My mum's going out and won't be back til late and she hates leaving me alone at night."
"Of course Peeta that would be fine." Said my Mum.
"You could borrow some of Sam's clothes for school tomorrow."

The next day

We got on the bus right on time for once. I think it was because since Peeta was with us Sam realised that we actually had to catch the bus.
We stopped at school and got off…and there were literately ghosts everywhere.
Only no one noticed. Everyone just kept going through them. Problem was that we couldn't go through them.
I got my phone out and called Mum.
"Really? Everywhere? How many do you think are actually there?"
"I would say about 200."
"200!"
"Uh-huh"
"Ok well sweetie I gotta go but just do the usual. No eye contact, no going near them, no talking to them and no touching them. At least not with people around you."
"Ok we'll try."

Suze's POV

I needed answers and I knew the only place to get them was to go to the place I have been for 20 years. The Shadowlands as I like to call them. Or the realm of the dead. Whichever floats your boat.
I so knew I was gonna regret this later when I got that killer headache but I had to. For my kids.
