The next day I was forced to go to therapy.
"NO DON'T MAKE ME GO!!!!" I screamed as my parents tugged my legs and my hands were gripped to the seatbelt.
"You need help!" my mom screamed over my voice. "It won't be as bad as you think!"
"YES IT WILL!! AAAAAAAH!!"
"No it won't!" my dad said.
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HERE!!"
"Neither have you!"
"BUT I KNOW ENOUGH!! THEY'RE EVIIIIIIIIIL!!"
"JUST LET GO!!" Jesse and Amanda screamed.
"I thought you were on my side?" I said.
"We are," Amanda said. "We're gonna get you through this I promise."
My hands wouldn't let go.
Jesse suddenly kissed me causing my body to go in shock and my hands slid off the seatbelt. My dad helped me off the ground and walked me into Dr. Renald's office. Jesse and Amanda followed.
"Nice one Jess," I heard Amanda said.
"We'll be outside waiting for you," my mom said.
I sighed and walked in the door. Then I sat down on the couch.
"Hello, Mr. Yuki," the man said. "My name is Dr. Renald."
"Hi," I said weakly.
"Is that a dueling deck I see?"
I looked down and I saw that I was holding the deck in my lap. "Um, yeah. Why?"
"Nothing. Well your parents say you can see ghosts is it true?"
Behind him I saw Jesse moving his hand left and right in front of his neck. So pretty much he was saying, "Don't tell him anything about us!"
"Um well I wouldn't call them ghosts," I said trying to follow Jesse's directions. "I think they're just hallucinations. I mean if you got over your sister's death you'd be devastated. And because you're devastated your mind starts to see strange things. I tried to tell them not to worry but they won't listen."
"Well I guess that could happen," he said. "Do you see monster spirits when you duel?"
Jesse made that same sign and I shook my head.
"Well I guess it is just a mind game."
The conversation went on and on and on until he finally believed that I couldn't see ghosts.
"Why don't you step outside while I talk to your parents," he said.
I got up and walked out the door and sat on the bench. Jesse and Mandy followed and sat next to me.
"You did it!" Mandy cheered.
"Nice job in convincing him that you couldn't see ghosts," Jesse said.
"About that," I started. "How come you didn't want him to know about you?"
"Because you know the TV shows about ghost hunters?"
I nodded.
"And you know how people say they're not real? They are. And if they find us then we'll be gone."
"G-gone?" I repeated.
"That's right gone. And we don't want to be gone. The reason I stayed here was because I wanted to get to know you. And then I met your sister and she wanted to stay too."
"Really?" I asked as I looked at her.
She nodded. "You're my brother Jay. I love you."
I smiled. "Why are you guys fading away like that?" I asked worried.
"Don't worry. It's just that there isn't enough energy around here," Jesse said. He kissed me and then said, "We'll see you back home."
"Ok."
Then my parents walked out the room. "Sorry we forced you to come here," my dad said.
"We just got worried," my mom said.
"It's ok. It was actually kinda relaxing."
They smiled and said, "Let's go home."
