Tangled Ties

Chapter 33: The Second Time

Abigail fell asleep on my arms. Her beautiful smile was lost in that sad face. I slowly kept her head on the pillow and covered her with the blanket. I lied beside her and stared at the ceiling.

I must tell Bunny the truth. I cannot keep on hurting Abigail. She doesn't deserve this pain. She deserves to reincarnate and have a happy life. I should not be wasting time like this. I cannot wait till tomorrow. I must tell Bunny everything right now.

"Can I leave Bunny?" My heart asked.

"Only if my wish matters... I want to live but I cannot... Bunny and I have no future but Abigail has..." My mind replied.

And before my mind and heart had another round of conversation, I got up and walked to Bunny's room. I took a deep breath and went inside. The room was dark. I walked to the switch and turned on the light. Bunny was sleeping peacefully but the light disturbed his sleep.

"Mom! Turn off the light." He shouted covering his face with the blanket.

"Bunny..." I walked toward him.

"Lulu?" He removed the blanket from his face and started rubbing his eyes.

"Why are you here at this hour?" He asked, yawning.

"I need to say something." I dared to say.

"Wait, how did you get in? Did you meet my mom?" He asked, he was now fully awake.

"It's my house." I said.

Bunny laughed making me sit on the bed.

"Did you come here to say this?" He added.

"No, actually..." I tried telling him but couldn't.

"I'm listening." He said as I couldn't find the right words.

"Promise me that you won't be angry with me." I said on a low voice.

"How can I be angry with you. Go on tell me." He said and smiled. His smile gave me the strength to speak.

"You might not believe me." I was scared.

"Forget it! You don't have to say anything." Bunny sighed.

"I am not alive." I said, closing my eyes tightly.

"What?" Bunny started laughing as if I told him a joke.

"I'm serious." I added.

"So, you are a ghost?" Bunny sarcastically added.

"I died on a car accident when I was 8 years old. I am stuck here from 9-10 years." I said on a serious tone.

"But I can see you, touch you." He said, still not convinced.

"Because we share a special bond." I added.

"You are messing with me, right?" He started laughing.

I realized he wouldn't believe me until I show him my powers.

I slowly lifted a flower vase without touching it. The flower vase was now floating on the air. I turned to Bunny, he looked shocked. Maybe he couldn't believe his eyes. His facial expression expressed he was scared. I put the vase down back on the table, I didn't want to scare him.

"Bunny..." I called him. He was silently looking at the floor.

"I'm sorry." I added, trying to hold his hand.
