A Ghost for a Friend ~ Beeduo

~5~ The Crash

Hello I'm back. I haven't been able to write in a while but oh well. I can decide a favorite song from the new Lovejoy EP. The songs are all so great. Lovejoy is just the best in general. I listened to it on repeat while writing this chapter.
Thank you Tommy for keeping perfume. It's an awesome song.

"So... Boo... how exactly did you die?"

Tubbo got a confused face back from Ranboo.

"I- no! Please don't take it a bad way just like I was curious how you became a ghost. Sorry!"

"Oh! That's what you meant? You don't need to be sorry Tubs!"

"Well... could you tell me maybe?" Tubbo looked up at Ranboo's bright grey-blue eyes.

"Sure... I guess."

Tubbo was filled with curiosity and questions he never asked.

"I don't remember much, is that okay?"

"Yeah, totally fine boo boy."

"I remember I was in the car with my dad," Ranboo started, "Our car was a red pickup truck. It was around sunset so not completely light nor completely dark. We were chatting about whatever we talked about when I was alive. I don't even remember anymore. We stopped at a red right. I specifically remember looking over to the right out my window and mentioning that a blue car was speeding pretty fast. That was when our light turned green but my dad wasn't paying attention to the other directions so he didn't see the car. The last thing I remember saying was screaming 'Dad' as the headlights of the car drew closer and the blue car smashed into my door."

Tubbo was speechless. He looked up at Ranboo and saw tears streaming down his cheeks.

Tubbo opened his mouth to tell him something in an attempt to comfort him but then Ranboo began speaking again.

"I felt a sharp pain through my whole body. There is no words to explain how strong the pain I felt was. I heard a ringing in my ears and my vision went red and blurry with blood as the car rolled and I got covered in shattered glass. As the car slowed the pain just disappeared. Everything was just black. Color slowly came back to everything around me. Confused, I took my head out my arms to see my dad who was just as hurt as I was but kneeled over my own dead body. I remember immediately falling to my knees next to myself wondering if what I thought was actually real. I had really died."

"That... wow. That's awful," Tubbo managed to say.

"I do remember this one ghost named Wilbur who was there during the crash and he helped me get used to being a ghost," Ranboo said fondly, "He went by ghostbur, haha."

Tubbo giggled at the play on Wilbur's name.

"That's cool. Do you know where he is now? Do you still live with him?" Tubbo questioned.

Tubbo looked up and saw the pain in Ranboo's eyes.

"Sorry. I am really sorry for asking about such a sensitive topic. Sorry again." Tubbo apologized.

"It's fine. I haven't seen him for years. I was the one who brought him up. I had actually forgotten about him... until I mentioned it."

"I am really sorry, Boo. Please don't hate me," Tubbo practically begged.

"Tubbo, it's fine! I'm actually pretty glad you made me think of him. I have mostly happy memories with him."
