An: okay im going to try to do an pov from barbras view. Its gonna be a short chapters but i wanted to explain what they are thinking but i couldnt really do that. Since of course they wouldnt want lydia to see what they really felt.
We came back into the house. I think ill have a go at one of the recipes in the book lydia brought me a couple of days ago. It was so nice being able to cook. To clean. To touch things and feel them. My one regret was not having a child, thats why i treated lydia like my child. I needed to remember that she was 24 now. It had been 10 years since the accident. She had changed and grown into a wonderful young woman. She was not so depressed anymore, i was glad about that. We may have seen her earlier if she was still attached to the afterlife.
Adam was humming 'day-o' it was one of the songs you couldnt get out of your head even if you wanted to. Being dead was worse since you had so much time on your hands.
" beetlejuice " lydia screamed. I ran down to her room. She was laid on the bed crying.
" lydia, darling whats wrong ? " i asked her. She just cried. She was like the child i had known i just grabbed her and hugged her. Her sobs were little daggers in my heart. I never wanted to see her upset and it was all his fault.
" come on whats wrong ? " i asked again. She shook her head.
" it doesnt matter " she mummbled.
" it does. Whats has he done ? " then she ran off. She ran through every room. Adam and i followed her for a little bit.
I relayed all that she had said to adam while we sat on her broken bed. Had he broken it? Why did he do that? If it wasnt for lydia i would have just broken down a wall and brought a friend to teach him a lesson.
" what should we do ? " adam asked me. I wanted to get him, but she was dealing with it herself. I didnt want to hassle her. Shes a grown woman and she had to sort things for her self. It doesnt feel like two minutes since we were hassling her with studying. How time flies when your alive. Its sad but its how it is. At least i had adam. If i didnt have him this whole time i wouldnt know what would have happened.
" we leave her to sort it out " i said to him. He looked down at the bed.
" should i fix this ? " adam asked me. I nodded.
" i suppose its all we can do " i sighed.
" adam. " i heard her shout. Then " barbra " we got up and went to the attic. I popped my head around the door at her.
" whats the matter " adam asked. He was not one for being subtle really. He always spoke his mind. Some times it wasnt an advantage.
" me and b have fallen in love " she didnt falter. She was confident. Her voice didnt shake. I had feared that happening. She was a woman and as a woman she shouldnt have been persuaded to do things. Was this really her feelings. Did he really love her? I highly doubt that fact. I came into the room. I wanted to hug our little lydia again. All sight of her crying had gone. She really did love him. Adam must have had the same feeling. We both hugged her. A little circle of love. Maybe one of the last times we could be like this.
" you sure ? " adam asked her. He would have been a good father if we had ever been able to have children.
" deadly " she sighed. Okay. Shes 24. Shes a woman and she can deal with her own problems. She may be getting herself into something big and bad but i would always be on the side-lines helping her our the best i could. Beetlejuice laughed. Damn that man. Ghost. Whatever.
" okay " adam answered for both of us. I turned to beetlejuice and gave him our answer too. I produced little Freddy. I had named the little sandworm i created. It wasnt a real one. It was just to scare him into doing what i wanted him to.
" you hurt her and you know where you will be going " i tried to say it scary, i was a ghost to i could scare people if i wanted to. If he really did hurt lydia once he would be a sandworms chu toy. When it came to the little girl ill never be the real mother too but im close enough, i would do anything for her to smile.
" babs, i wont hurt a hair on her head " he held up his hands in surrender. Was he really giving up that easy? Must have a thing for her too. Adam and he shook hands like a father would when meeting their daughters boyfriend. I turned to leave.
" ill have dinner ready in 2-3 hours okay ? " i said to lydia she nodded and tears formed in her eyes. Happy tears i hoped. I pulled adam with me and we went down to the kitchen.
" do you think any good would come of it ? " adam asked me.
" shes a woman. I guess there were more alive things out there in the last 10 years that would be worse than him. " he nodded and cleaned his glasses. I just hope she knew what she was really getting herself into.
An: any good? I think it went well. Maybe she sounds a lot like lydia ( since they both sound like me ) but thats because im, well im writing it hehee.
