Another month passed. I tried to spend time with Adam and Barbra and Beetlejuice equally. Beetlejuice had better ideas. he would lock doors so I couldn't leave but if I asked him he would unlock them and say 'sorry'. I always made it for food, even though I was the only one eating for health, they would eat with me. I know that they didn't need it but they wanted to make this all normal. Adam and Barbara said they didn't mind me being with Beetlejuice but I really didn't like leaving them out most of the time. Beetlejuice was never finished. he always wanted more. I was tired all the time. I worked hard at work. then I would work hard at home. with Beetlejuice it was always fun, because he could create anything.

I woke up. he was gone. sometimes he didn't say there while I slept I never know what he would be doing when he wasn't there with me. I guess watching me sleep is only exciting for so long. I got off the bed and showered. he was still not there; I hadn't even felt him in the bathroom with me. downstairs I heard ACDCs thunderstruck. I looked at the clock it was 2:49. luckily I wasn't at work today. Adam and Barbra must have left the house. I grabbed a deep purple long top, that went just under my ass with long arms and short black leggings. my hair was just touching my ass I scooped it up into a high ponytail and wrapped it around itself in a bun, I grabbed a purple scrunchie and put it around the bun. I turned to leave the room. forgot socks. grabbing the black trainer socks I left the room pulling them on.

downstairs I found Beetlejuice sat on the couch, head back beer in hand jamming out to ACDC. he was having fun there. so I tried to creep past him.

" stop right their babes " he said still head back. I stopped right there. his head snapped down to me he clicked his fingers and I slid right up to him like I had been dragged to him when we were getting married. he grabbed my hips and kissed my belly. just as it rumbled. " babe hungry? " he asked I nodded. I wasn't awake enough to be bothered to talk. he stood up and walked to the dining room with me. on the table was a croissant and a hot cup of coffee. I sat down and started without saying thank you. I was soo hungry. he just sat across from me watching me. he lowered the music. " did I wake you up? " he asked. I shook my head mouth full of hot liquid.

when I had finished I leaned over and kissed his forehead. " thanks B, where's Adam and Barbra? " I asked.

" don't know babes. " he replied. " if we are alone. " he grinned at me.

" sorry. I need a break. " he sighed and threw his head back again the music louder. he was like a child. he would throw his toys out of the buggy if he was in one. I got up and went to the office. I needed a break from everything today. Beetlejuice's games. the Maitland's parental overview. work. so I wrote dad a letter.

' hi dad.

I said I would write when not busy and I'm not busy right now. I got a job here. a nice clothes shop. the people are nice. your guesses on the house sale was right. B kept scaring them. talking about B I seem to be in a relationship with him. he's actually really nice when you get to know him properly. he says that he loves me and I really think he means it, he hasn't tried to marry me for one. the Maitland's are here too, they have levelled up now they can touch things and haughty better. it's nice here. I really like it thanks for this place.

I love you both, hope your good. I'll call back soon I think.

winter river is the place I need to be, I'm so happy.

love Lydia x '

it took me a while to write that. I didn't quite know how to word it all and I just wrote it how I thought it would be accepted. I printed it and faxed it to him. that way it would be physical and it wouldn't get into Sam's hands where I was. I was undecided if I should put that at the bottom, but for all dad knew I could have moved again. I don't know what to do now. Beetlejuice closed the laptop, nearly on my hands.

" come and play babes " he wiggled his eyebrows at me. " you're not tired of me?... "

" I'm not tired of you. I'm just tired. there's only so much a living person can take you know B " he nodded.

" well we can just watch a movie. " he was asking for a date? that's a first. the last time we watched a movie though all this started. I left the room with him. whatever we watched I was glad because I was with him.


hours later I stood in the kitchen watching Barbara cooking burgers.

" so how is your dad then? " she asked me.

" I don't know he hasn't replied yet. " I shrugged. Adam came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder.

" aren't you working today Lydia? " he asked me. I shook my head and leaned on the counter. I wonder why dad hasn't replied yet. what was wrong? was anything wrong? no dads fine. he will be fine, I calmed myself down.


After about a week of no sex and lots of relaxing nights I gave in. he had given me the puppy dog eyes all day. The next morning, I walked downstairs in my red cami vest and light blue jeans. I put my docs on and went for the door. " what time tonight? " I heard Beetlejuice ask from the stairs. he was in the robe cig in hand. he only seemed to smoke after we had sex these days.

" I'll be back for 5 " I said blowing him a kiss and left the house.

work was boring as always. life was normal again. no stalking. no random delivery's. no house arrest. no Sam I'm so happy these days. I'm back to the people I love and he is nowhere near here. he wouldn't follow me here would he? if he found out. maybe. this is Sam I'm thinking of. if he did I wouldn't like to know what Beetlejuice would do, I don't think I could cope with a murder hiding or a body in the back garden. hmm...

I got home early to Beetlejuice playing ACDC again. he liked my music, which I always though he would. I threw a doc at him. he was playing an air guitar in the hall way, in that bloody suit again but with no jacket, his shirt was open too.

" what that for? " he yelled.

" it didn't hurt " I commented.

" still babes " I giggled.

" sorry. just a boring day. " I sighed. he came over and looped his arm around my hip. his suit jacket back and all neat.

" could make it more fun " he laughed with me. I kissed him. he pulled my thigh up so he could grab at my ass and someone knocked at the door. we both looked up at it.

" who's that? " Adam asked. I jumped from Beetlejuice. if I had known he was near I wouldn't have let Beetlejuice grab at me. it would be the same if it was Barbra, or my dad. it was just embarrassing.

" I don't know. " I sighed. I went to the door with Adam and Beetlejuice behind me.

someone banged at the door again. " okay. okay " I yelled. I tuned the door knob and opened it looked at the floor. I looked up and my heart dropped lower than the floor.

Sam stood at the door smiling like everything was good.

I backed up slowly to Beetlejuice. I had lost the ability to say anything, and if I did say anything it wouldn't be audible.

" yeah? " Beetlejuice said over my shoulder cocky as always. Sam's hair still dyed blonde, eyes still bright blue. he was wearing a leather jacket and black jeans. he was like he was before.

the devil.

" hi " he said to Beetlejuice his face seemed shocked. " who's that baby? " Sam asked me. nodding a little to Beetlejuice. he stepped in the house and closed the door. Beetlejuice put a hand on my hip.

" Sam " I finally got out in a whisper. Beetlejuice sauntered around me to face Sam.

" so this is Sam? " he said throwing a thumb in his direction. he obviously didn't think much of him. I nodded. " ahh. right babes " he said.

Sam stood in the hall all confident, he didn't know he was in the presence of someone who would kill him in a heartbeat. Beetlejuice turned to me a grin as wide as his face, his eyes became brighter.

AN: this chapters very patchy, it's a little crap so I may rewrite this some time. I just really wanted to get this out but I didn't want a small chapter.
