I huddled in Michael's arms the next few nights. I was scared to even get up to go to the bathroom. I was fearful of seeing Johnny's rogue ghost coming at me. I did not know what to do.

If it was one of the Lost Boys whom had killed off Johnny then it was all my fault. I did not protect Johnny. I did not get the Lost Boys to cross over like I should have been focused on.

When in all of this I had been focused on Michael only. Now what? I was a suspect in Johnny's murder as well. Though everyone who loved me knew I did not kill anyone.

Even Janet and Paris knew I did not murder a soul. I never would harm anyone else. It was not in my nature. That did not make me a good ghost medium. Because I would not force someone to cross over.

I yawn as I close my eyes. The sun rose. I always slept better these past few days knowing the sun was up. Ghost tended to appear in the night. They gained energy through out the day. I felt so drained. I rest my head in the crook of Michael's arm as he held me close to his chest. Cradling me. I loved waking up in his embrace.

"Myla, get some sleep" I hear him yawn. "I know you have been tossing and turning. You need sleep. You better call Janet and take the day off to rest" he orders.

"No I can't do that. I need to get back to work" I worry.

I glance over at my alarm clock. I had a few more moments to sleep in. it was only seven am. I did not have to be up for another hour or so.

I close my eyes. The alarm would wake me up. I could sleep as long as Michael's arm's stayed here wrapped around me. Such a safe feeling for entering slumber. Peace washes over my body.

Before I knew it the alarm begins to buzzes at me. When I wake Michael was out of bed. I hear talking downstairs. He was with my family. I get around to my day.

I yawn. I had dark circles under my eyes. Johnny did this to me. Why had he not contacted me again? What did he want from me? What was his game? I could not figure him out. I shake my head as I begin to put on make up.

Makeup did not work under these baggy eyes. Plus it was going to be hot outside today to. I slip into my shoes. And try to look my best for Michael and for work. I sure did not feel my best right now. That was for certain. I yawn as I make myself head downstairs. Everyone was already at the table. Mom had breakfast ready. Grandma looked concerned when she saw me come down. Everyone stopped talking.

Michael smiles at me.

"Why did you not tell all of us Johnny make contact with you?" gram blurts out all of a sudden.

I blink. "Mike did you tell them? I asked you not to!" I ask as I look at Michael. He shakes his head.

"No not me" he says. 'I told you I would not and I did not" he declares.

"Grandpa told me" says gram. "he saw"

"Oh" I sigh. There were no secrets in this house hold. I sit down at the table with them.

"Did Johnny tell you who killed him?" mom demands to know. "so the heat can come off you?" she asks.

"No, not really" I mutter. "we did not have time to talk"

"What did Johnny want?" gram asks me.

"I don't know" I sigh.

"He was not himself" Michael speaks up on my behalf.

"I'll say" I mutter as I begin to pour myself a cup of juice as we sit at the table.

"Do you think it is wise you heading into work?" worries Mom.

"Johnny is as harmless as a house fly" I lie. "he would not harm me."

That I know of....

Michael raises his eye and looks at me.
He was not buying it to.

"He would not. We are friends. Always have been. Johnny will come to me when he is ready to cross over. Maybe I can help him. Maybe he was scared was all. I never told him I could see ghosts" I explain. 'he must have been angered I did not trust him enough to tell him that I could"

"Sure that is all" scoffs Michael as he rolls his eyes.

"Shhhh..." I whisper. "he could hear us" I tell Michael.

"What is going on Myla?" demands my mom. "are you in danger? Is what killed Johnny after you?" she wants to know.

"I don't know! I don't know! Okay? I have no clue! Why don't you ask grandpa" I snap angrily.

"Hey now shortcake I was only looking out for you" my grandpa appears.

"Dad not now" mutters mom.

"I am going to work. Have fun" I snap. I grab a muffin to go. Then head out the door.

"Myla!" Michael calls out after me as he chases me down. "wait"

"What?" I say as I stand outside by my car.

"Have a good day. Please be safe" he begs me. "I am worried about you as are they. They have a good reason to be" he points out.

"I will be careful. I really don't think Johnny will hurt me" I say. "we had been friends"

"Had" he reminds me. "I don't think friends scare friends"

"He is confused. He will come around" I say.

"I hope you are right about that" says Michael. "I can't protect you like I used to be able to" he says.

He holds me. Then we kiss.

"I know. I will be okay" I promise. "I will call you if something comes up."

"You, promise?" he asks me.

I nod. "I swear" I vow.

"If Johnny comes near you call me" he demands. "do not try to take him on yourself"

"I will be fine." I say.

We kiss. I head to my car. He looks at me with worry as I get in my car to head to work. He crosses his arms. Watching me leave. I lied. I was worried. I did not know what to expect next from Johnny. I only hoped my old friend would listen to reason. If not, things were going to get ugly real quick!
