Play music Just say yes

When we got to the restaurant we where laughing at a story I told her about that had happened to me back home with my younger brother.

" No! That couldn't had have happened! You're lying!" She laughs while we sit down at our table. Pietro sitting next to us at the table.

" Its true! By the time I got back to the kitchen, he was covered in white flower, with sprinkles and frosting as hair. The kitchen looked like Santa got sick of eating cookies. It was a mess! Took us hours to clean it up!" I tell her, both of us  wiping the tears from our eyes.

" I have never seen my sister laugh this much in awhile....Thank you." Pietro tells me looking at his sister with a small smile.

"So, have any embarrassing siblings story's?" I ask her. Then it gets quiet between us, but not the awkward kind, the kind where you remember a sweet memory.

" Embarrassing? I've always been the cool one between us two." Pietro says while running his fingers through his hair and giving me a what he thought was a cool pose.

" I had a brother... he's name was Pietro.We where twins." She says slowly with a small smile in her face, she was remembering all the good times with him.

"What was he like?" I ask her.

"He was everything a twin should be. He was always the more athletic one, a little dorky but he was always there with me, for me."  She laughs.

"Aww.. Don't get all sentimental on me now!" Pietro says hugging her. She looks up as soon as he does. She felt him. This happens sometimes when an Earthbound spirit touches the living you can feel a pressure or some times a small cold breeze even though you can be inside.

"He sounds like he was a good brother." I smile at her while taking a sip of my sweet tea.

"He was... I never told you he died." She looks at me confused.

" Uh.. Oh.. Busted" Pietro snigger's

"Yea, Sorry. Umm... Its a little strange and hard to explain. You wont believe me." I tell her trying not to laugh as Pietro makes funny faces at his sister.

" Try me..." Wanda leans against the table more towards me and smirks.

"Ok you asked for it, just promise me that once I tell you we can still be friends? I don't think I can lose another friend because of my secret." I sadly smile at her. Ever since I was young if I told someone that I can see dead people, they wouldn't believe me. Called me a freak. They would want to put me in a crazy house, my grandma made up the excuse of me being young and wanting attention. When that was far from the case, she understood what I was going through. She told me that we where not freaks, but that we had gifts, that our gifts where something special to help the dead to have peace. It was just something not a-lot of people understand, but if we do find those who do. To keep them close.

"I promise, Im here for you Y/n" she says grabbing my hand.

"I have a gift that I was born with that I can see the Earthbound." I tell her, I didn't want to lose her as a friend.

"Earthbound?" She asks

" This is getting interesting. $10 bucks she freaks out when you tell her Im here." Pietro says rubbing his hands together.

"The dead. Wanda, thats not all. When the people die sometimes they have unfinished business. They attached themselves to those people that where close to them to do that." I stop and look at her to see how she's taking it. She looks a little confused but overall not freaking out.

" Wanda... I know about your brother because I can see your brother. He has attached him self to you." I tell her gently. Waiting for her to tell me I'm a freak or that I'm lying.

"Is he here? With us? Right now?" She asks holding my hand still, squeezing it. I can tell see has hope in her eyes.

"Thats it! No freak out?! No doubts!? Come on you got to be more interesting than this! I bet 10 bucks!" Pietro gets frustrated and looks at Wanda.

I laugh which causes Wanda to look at me strangely.

" Im sorry! He says he expected you to freak out more than this. He made a bet with me that you would freak out." I say calming my laughing down.

"It sounds like him, but not that I doubt you, but if he is Pietro, tell me something that only me and him would know." She says looking around to see if she can get a glimpse of him.

"Oh! Tell her that when we where in New York last time, I took 12$ from her." He says excitedly.

" Ok, he says he took 12$ from you the last time you two where in New York ?" I ask her.

"He took my money?" She ask surprised.

"Oh, thats right she didn't know. Oh..!! No.. she doesn't know that either... Ohh! I got it! Tell her about the time I took her to the fair and I tried so many times to get that pink fluffy teddy bear but we went home with only a pink cotton candy."

"Thats sweet... he said that he took you to the fair and tried to get you.."

"A pink fluffy teddy bear." We say together.

"Ya... but we got cotton candy... I remember. Was the best day of my life before ma and pa died." She smiles and wipes the tears that fell from her eyes.

" Can you tell him something for me?"  She asks me.

"He can hear you. Tell him what ever you want.He's sitting right next to you, to the left." I tell her.

"He is? Pietro... I love you, you are my brother, my family. And I will always love you. You where there when I was down, you picked me up and made me laugh and forget the problems we where in. No matter how much I teased you or made fun of your hair. You where there for me... and I wish I could have been there for you when you needed me in Sakovia. And I wasn't, maybe if I was you'll still be here right now....forgive me.." Wanda has tears running down her face no matter how much she tries to wipe them away. She looks where Pietro is sitting and he has tears in his eyes too.

"No..No, you are not to be blaming yourself. What I did, was to protect him. To protect you, cause I knew he would protect you like you where his family. I needed to do that because, I need to right the wrongs I did, I will always be with you to protect you. Im so sorry for the pain I caused you. I saw the pain you went through, because of me. If anyone should be apologizing it's me, for leaving you...." Pietro says with tears falling. He goes to hold her hand that she has on the table. When he dose she looks down at her hand.

" I feel you.." she whispers "What did he say?"

"He says...to not blame yourself. He did what he did to protect the people he cared about. That he didn't mean to leave you. That its you that should forgive him, that he loves you too...." I smile at the both of them, with tears in my eyes.

"Thank you.." they both say at the same time which makes me laugh.
