It was the day after the meeting, but I have never felt so overwhelmed. I had to be an adult before my time, and everything was so scary. I had a possible genocide on my hands, and I was the leader at freaking fifteen. I had a lovely girlfriend, amazing friends, a career, trying to have good enough grades, etc. It was so unfair that I was dealing with all this.

I know that dwelling on hardship makes things worse, but I couldn't help it. I felt so tired. It isn't that I wanted to die or anything like that. I just wanted life to stop for a while so I could breathe again. I felt like something was contristing my chest and made my heart feel like it was trying to escape. I could relate to my heart so much.

My jail cell is my responsibilities to the Ghost Zone, Earth, and my friends and family. There are worse jail cells, but I just want to be free. I want to be free and have a childhood where I can be free. Teenhood is about risking your life in selfish ways, like drinking and crazy tricks. Being irresponsible by spending a bunch of time online binging content. I was stuck being a superhero because my parents couldn't fix the mess that they caused. My friends needed me. They needed a leader, a peacemaker, and a friend. And then there was Dani. I feel like she is my daughter, but it is impossible to parent a kid that is only two years apart from you. Plus our relationship started off as cousins. I have decided to watch Youtube on my Smart TV. I just needed a long break. I was so mad and tired. I am claiming a bit of childhood again. I haven't had much of one since I was eight.

For a few days, I just lay in bed watching TV, and doing absolutely nothing. It was so freeing to finally be able to finally relax. My friends started to be worried after five days of lazing about. Everyone was checking in on me. Even sometimes Dani comes in to check on me. Dani enjoyed her freedom too much to do a lot of socializing. She liked running about and making new friends everywhere. She just liked a roof over her head.

In two days Star decided to hang out with me in my bed.

"Hey Danny, I am going to sit with you if you don't mind. I have been missing you."

"Ok, I will enjoy your company."

Star joined me, and she brought out her laptop from her laptop bag. The laptop bag was a hot pink bag. She put in her flash drive and started working on a document.

"What are you working on?"

"I am starting a new story. It is about a girl named Elizabeth who is struggling with her parents. Her parents are emotionally absent, and she is trying to get their love and attention. It is so hard and easy to write at the same time. I am pretty happy in this season of my life, so it makes it harder to write. I have felt a lot of emotions before in my life though so it makes it a lot easier to write at the same time."

"Sounds fun. I would love to read it if you want to share."

"I would love to share it once I have more of it done."

"Cool."

So we watched a bunch of Friends, and she wrote her story, and I talked to her and just laughed at Friends. It was very nice to have company. It made me feel so normal to have a girlfriend sitting in a room with me. It almost was perfect. All I needed was annoying parents checking in to make sure nothing was going on.

It was lovely to eat a bunch of junk food like Smartfood popcorn and Salt and Vinegar chips. It seemed to be a lovely summer. I was still overwhelmed by the fact I was the Ghost King. Ghosts were going missing and I had no idea if I could pull everyone through this. I had a really bad gut feeling that something was lurking in the shadows and it was pure corruption and evil.

Me and Star decided to write more of our fanfiction. We decided to write about Lockhart's behavior.

"Hogwarts was considered a very good school. Despite the fact, the teachers are allowed to run wild with their hatred *cough* Snape *cough*.

Lockhart was no exception, he was one of the worst teachers known to the world. For one, he knew jack about his job. Lockhart trying to fight off Cornish Pixies is one of the funniest things Harry and Ron had ever seen. It was forever seared into their memories.

Sadly Lockhart was targeting Harry, trying to teach Harry about everything, from teaching him how to handle the fame and the press to how to eat handsomely. I wish I was joking about the last one.

"Harry, Harry. To eat attractively you have to have a bib that matches your robes, and you will look dashing while protecting your clothes."

Ron was trying not to laugh. His face was bright red, and he was trying to stifle a laugh. Harry could have sworn that he heard a rib crack. Hermione on the other hand was conflicted with common sense and her crush on Lockhart. I mean she could have worst crushes, like Voldymort."

Eventually, Star was worried enough to talk to Danny "Hey, Danny we need to talk. This is not a break-up talk"

"Ok, what do you want to talk about?"

"I think you are avoiding your problems, which I do understand why. If I was you I would be too. It is time though to deal with them. If you don't, it will blow up in your face."

"I am so tired. I can't do my job anymore. I just need a few more days."

"I get it Danny, but I am still a bit worried about you. You have been in bed, and I am not sure if you are even brushing your hair well. I know you have responsibilities that are not something that any teen should have, even by superhero standards. I wish I didn't have to say this, but it is not the time for a pity party. Until this disaster with the Ghost Zone is solved you need to be strong. Delegate what you need to because you have all of Team Phantom, the Team, and the Justice League behind you, and you have the Consuil behind you. You can do this. Of course, I will be your support too, I love you."

"I wish you weren't right. I love you too. Tomorrow I will be productive."

"That works just fine. Let's enjoy this summer."

Me and Star went to the waterpark, and we did a whole bunch of water rides. There was a waterslide that had a trap door on it. It was super cool, and both of us went on it several times. Much to the distress of the people in line with us, me and Star shared many pecks and a few kisses. There is something about being with your girlfriend, and you both are in your swimwear. Star was wearing a pale blue one-piece swimsuit, with a cutout in the front. I was wearing red board shorts.

It is still one of the best days. We kissed, had Dipping Dots, and acted like teens. It was a day that screamed of wholesomeness and freedom. Though tomorrow seems hopeless, I can't help but have hope for the future after a day like this.
