He Roamed

- Chapter Two

After a while, My face was heated under the warmth of water in the shower, My thoughts escalated with emotions and everything was burying under my skin after what happened a few years ago. Losing someone is hard but you can move on and remember what has happened and love them still. Like I still love him But he's dead now unfortunately. I can feel the steam pestering out the shower as I take a few deep breathes, Having something to eat with Hannah was nice, She is always worried about me when she shouldn't be, I have been fine but depressed in a way of loneliness, I feel like I don't need to date anyone else, But Hannah says I should look for a date but I am not into that right now. With a few hours of showering I eventually got out feeling the water drips run down my silky skin. The small window made it golden hour in my beautiful small bathroom. I eventually got dressed and walked out fixing my dark-curly hair. My thoughts seem to be escaping. 

"Daniel, What were you doing in the shower?" My Mother Maria said popping out the corner of the living room crossing her arms looking at me curiously. What does she think? I used to shower a lot when I was in high-school because It was a way to calm me down and escape reality. School was a living hell though, Believe me. 

"Thinking a lot. Don't worry about me." I replied with a soft tone. She looked at me and took a deep breath before heading my way. 

"Are you still thinking about Joey?" She asked as a cold vibe came between both of us as I look at her quietly not knowing what to say. She will probably be annoyed if I am because I always do. Something tells me she doesn't like the thought or anything about him ever since what happened, She wants to forget about everything but I can't. Just remembering everything and every little piece. I just walked away heading to my room and sat down on the bed rubbing my shoulder, Everything felt strange to me.

Somethings are hard to identify. Life is weird and sometimes difficult. Pull on a string and your screwed. I lifted my Phone checking social media, Things are wild out in the world. Nothing new though. Just the lame crap as always.

"You know you need to find someone already, You can't live on  someone who's practically dead. You need to move on and be a man for once." My Mom said walking in the room intruding my space. She looked at me coldly and looks furious. My eyes gaze at hers. 

"I am trying. Sometimes It's hard, Mom. You didn't have the situation that I had, You and Dad just left easily and walked away." I replied not caring and scrolling through my phone.

She coughed,

"And? You need to be a man for once Daniel. You are becoming abdicated  to a boy who's dead for years, It's time to move on with your life," She said, "It's like your tormented on him."

"I know, I've heard it all now leave before I snap." I angrily spoke. She left and shut the door as I laid on my bed with my head hurting. It was aching and I didn't know what to do, I sat here as I seen a shadow figure walk near my closet as my eyes opened widely, I couldn't think straight but I saw what I saw. There's some ghost haunting me, Like I've seen in the diner out the window. I rubbed my head and sighed to myself.

What's going on with me? I questioned myself 

"Daniel, visit me on the cliff where I jumped. I'll see you there." A voice I am familiar with speaks out and my eyes opened, 

Joey...?
