"What color is this dress?" Mikey asks and holds out his phone to a white and gold dress on his Twitter feed.

"White and gold. Why?" He makes a sort of angry exhaling noise and drops his phone on the couch most likely to soon be eaten by the cushions.

"How? It is clearly blue and black!" What? No it's not, where is the blue or the black?

"No. Where is the blue or the black?" I ask and look at the dress again to see if it has changed and nope still white and gold. Michael picks up his phone to prove me wrong.

"Right there! It's clear as day." I freeze and look at Michael who is now looking at me the same way.

"Was that you?" We ask each other at the same time.

"No." I answer flatly and feel the dread rising in my brain and slowly sink to the pit of my stomach making me feel a bit anxious.

"Well it wasn't me, so nice voice impersonations but don't ever impersonate that one ever again." He then points to the screen of his phone.

"Look blue and then black." I shake my head, "Mikey no all I see is..." Luke is making a weird face at me then glances back the dress then back me. Oh god I really am insane.

"Lemme guess you see it's blue and black now? Yes! Told you! Never underestimate the genius mind of Michael Gordon Clifford." He smile and laughs then looks back his phone and now drops it on his skinny jeaned lap.

I gulp and look back at the TV that is now playing the movie 'Garbage Pail Kids' and Michael laughs, why? I don't know, he likes this movie so I guess to him it's funny, but hey some parts are funny and this is a pretty good movie.

Uneasiness fills the room suffocatingly. Michael shifts around a lot from it and clears his throat.

"Do you see that?" He asks and points at the TV. The garbage pail kids are outside and the night sky makes a dark area on the screen that reflects the room perfectly. In the dark area is the shape of Luke. When my eyes focus on it I clearly see it is him.

"N-Nope." I say quickly and shake my head. Michael sharply turns and gives me a small glare. "Yes you do, you're lying. You're a horrible liar." I am aren't I?

"Michael c'mon relax. It's nothing whatsoever." He doesn't listen and gets up and nears the flat screen and pauses the movie so the dark area stays.

"Mikey? You're acting weird." He turns his head slightly. "No you are. When I say you on the stairs even now. You can't mess with me anymore, Y/n I love you like a sister but c'mon stop fucking with me." He sounds a bit pissed off and annoyed with me and what I'm hiding from him.

"Michael I don't think you want to know what has been happening to me recently, I feel like I'm insane because of it. Mikey please stop and listen to me!" He stares at the dark spot longer and I'm far too little too late.

"WHAT? HE'S WAVING AT ME Y/N!!!" He jumps and runs backwards. He falls onto the couch and scoots up on me.

"What is this? L-Luke's in the TV!" His mouth is agape and he gulps and is breathing rapidly. I feel terrible. But how exactly was I supposed to tell him that Luke has been potentially haunting me?

He then starts laughing. Michael is laughing?

This is actually very terrifying. Almost as terrifying when your in trouble and your parent whispers at you instead of yelling. Or when someone is very angry and starts laughing or chuckling. Yeah, almost as terrifying as that.

"Holy crap!" He exclaims and turns around to where Luke is behind the couch.

"I knew I saw you when I was staring at the dress on Twitter!" I raise my eyebrow. What just happened?

"You believe I'm here?" I hear Luke's voice say happily and almost in disbelief. Michael nods.

"God I always told you to shut up and when I knew I'd never hear you again it was terrible. This is pretty refreshing." Mikey has a relieved grin on his face and looks at me.

"You know I would've believed you, this is awesome! I just know you were in denial huh? I would so believe he was in my house if he appeared on my phone screen!" His green eyes flare up in amazement.

"Well I messed up her music and freaked her out too. That's why she ran out. But, at least you guys know I'm here!" Luke says. I can only imagine that he is smiling, I'm just shocked from all this.

"So that's why you were freaking out in the stairs, this all makes sense!"

"Hey uhm, I need to tells you guys something. I have a time limit, a year. So I need you guys to listen to me."

Michael perks up and looks even more intrigued than he was before.

"I can come back to life."

I shoot up,

"How?"
