Everyone was frantic about planning this wedding. Sophia had her phone nearly glued to her ear talking, yelling, whispering, and threatening people on the phone. Sapphire was still extremely worried about the ghost of the boy at the moment and couldn't focus.

"So sweetheart are you able to tell me your name right now so i can help you find your family"

In a childish voice he said to Sapphire "my name is Devon"

"Okay that's good sweetie do you have a last name or an address where you lived"

"I lived here" he said to her

Sapphire was confused so she said "no that isn't possible i live here with my friends"

"But i remember this was where my mommy was mad at me and she left the house crying" he told her

"Okay we're going to figure this out. Can you sit here for me for a few minutes?" She asked him

"Yes i can, i'll stay right here for you"

Sapphire left the living room and ran into Sophia's room asking for her help. She had no idea what to do with the kid because what he has been saying doesn't make any sense to her.

"He said he lives here. He said his mom left being angry with him. He doesn't know he's dead. And he believes if he stays here his mom will come home soon" Sapphire franticly said pacing around the room

"Okay calm down" Sophia said

"I can't calm down" she said "i haven't done shit for this wedding and now i have a ghost kid to worry about"

"Okay i'll talk to the kid"

As Sophia entered the living room she saw the young boy attempting to talk to Calum who was watching TV on the couch.

"Hi Devon" she said "My name is Sophia"

"Who the hell are you talking to" Calum asked

"i'm talking to the boy sitting down next to you Calum.....say hi to him right now" she pointed at the empty couch

"okay hi there, i'm Calum" he said looking at no one

Sophia smiled looking at the empty couch with the ghost boy on it and Calum just kept looking around the room.

"umm me and Sophia will be right back" he said looking confused

"Something wrong?" she sarcasticly asked

"why the fuck did you just tell me to say hi to the empty couch"

"because theres a ghost boy named Devon sitting on it...duhh just another Thursday around here"

"you've gotta be kidding me that's so creepy i just talked to a ghost and i had no idea where he was even sitting"

"don't worry me and Sapphire are working to cross him over"

"i thought you guys were working on the wedding plans"

"don't worry it will all be done i promise"

Sophia went back into her bedroom to talk to Sapphire about Devon. She had a few ideas on what to do but didn't know if any of them would even work.

"I think we should tell Devon that he's dead" Sophia said

"no way that could make him totally lash out and become enraged with us"

"but we can't lead him on thinking he's alive and then have him cross over finding out he's dead"

"Okay so then how about we ask him for some information and then break the news to the kid. Bring him peace and then he'll cross over"
