Ghost Girl Book 1

Chapter 33

Lindsay enjoyed her eggs benedict and perfect crispy bacon she raved to Oliver about how good it tastes and that she could never pull off food like that, everyone knew it Lindsay could burn water as she cleaned up she asked Oliver about his travels and experiences. She was surprised to find out that this wasn't Oliver's first encounter with spirits although nothing quite like Bubbie he admitted.

Lindsay only wished she had those kinds of experiences but sadly the only place she ever went was to Bayworth city which was about 3 hours away, she smiled as she thought of her and Andrew driving into the city to see the Metallica concert, she remembered how excited Andrew was when he ran up to her in 3rd period science and told her of the concert tickets his Mom had got him for his birthday. Lindsay remembered begging her parents to let her go, her father insisted that one adult goes with them, however, Lindsay's mom convinced her father that Lindsay and Andrew would be ok and reminded her father of the time they snuck out together to watch Steve Miller Band in Bayworth city.

Lindsay and Oliver were both stuffed, they stretched out on Lindsay's couch with Oliver laying behind her one arm draped over her waist, they lay there watching tv together talking about what shows they like and slowly they both faded to sleep.

Lindsay was at the well again she heard Andrew's voice calling for her from the bottom of the well, her stomach dropped when she heard a grating laughter each time Andrew yelled for her she could hear Andrew begging to be let go and tears fell down her face with every one of Andrew agonizing screams, she leaned over to yell that she was coming and to hold on and felt invisible hands drag her into the well and suddenly Lindsay was falling, she tried to grab on to anything as she went down but her hand only found air, she closed her eyes and waited for the ground to break her fall. 

Lindsay jolted up to Oliver looking over her with a concerned look on his face, she noticed Bubbie was floating beside him, "jesus Lindsay are you ok?" Oliver asked her. He explained that she was yelling in her sleep saying, hold on Andrew, hold on and that she started sobbing and waving her arms, then she bolted awake. Lindsay told Oliver and Bubbie all about the dream and that this is the second dream she's had like this, she got up from the couch and grabbed her phone off the table.

 Andrew's cheerful voice answered when Lindsay called him "what's up ghost girl", Lindsay was relieved to hear Andrew's voice she had feared the worst after the dream she had, Lindsay tried to talk casually about the wonderful meal Oliver made her and asked how the clean up was going. She smiled as she heard Andrews tone of excitement when he told her that he was getting a big renovation budget this year, they talked for another 10 minutes then Andrew asked "is everything ok Linds, you sound a little odd and this phone call seems kind of random" Lindsay explained to Andrew about the two dreams and her fear that something bad will happen. He reminded her that she has been having odd dreams for as long as he's known her and none of them have come true "so why now?" he finished.

Lindsay felt better after talking to Andrew, he sounded positive and upbeat, if he wasn't worried then she would try not to be either. She couldn't help but smile when she saw Oliver looking out the window not realizing that Bubbie was right beside him, she walked up to them and said "what do Bubbie", Oliver turned to look at Lindsay, smiling she explained that he was standing in Bubbies window, "in fact he's beside you now" she finished. 

Lindsay expected Oliver to move away and was surprised when Oliver turned his head towards Bubbie and nodded "sup Bubbie" he said and turned back towards the window, what the fuck was happening right now thought Lindsay, she liked that Oliver and Bubbie were getting along but Bubbie sharing his window this was too weird, something was going on with Bubbie and Lindsay needed to find out. Lindsay looked at the clock it read 6:30, she looked at Oliver and asked "are you hungry?". Lindsay suggested that she call over to the Restaurant and get take out dinner for them "maybe you could go pick it up, you can take my car" Lindsay asked hopefully.

Oliver happily agreed, he was getting hungry too, they phoned in an order for grilled chicken sandwiches and potato bacon soup, Lindsay handed Oliver her keys as soon as the door closed she walked over to the window "what's going on Bubbie?" she asked and continued "you have been odd lately, being nice to Oliver, letting him share your window". She noticed Bubbie's shimmer dull slightly.

"I actually like Oliver" Bubbie said, and continued "he seems like a good guy and he's accepting of our life, were going to have to face Madeline sooner than later and I guess I'd feel better leaving you with someone who loves you as much as I do". Lindsay was warmed by Bubbie's words until she heard the last part.

"What do you mean leaving Bubbie, you are my safety you always have been, your my protector, my best friend, your never leaving me" she finished through tears. Bubbie floated over to Lindsay and shimmer over her. Bubbie knew that this next meeting with Madeline could be his last, he didn't want to leave Lindsay but it may take all he has to protect her which was what he was sent for 26 years ago.

Oliver walked in with the bags of food and realized he walked in to something heavy, he quietly put the bag on the table and said "I interrupted something didn't I, you guys ok?" Lindsay walked over to him and hugged him tight, he immediately put his arms around her and just held her. "I didn't realize the affect take out has on you" he said lightly trying to ease the mood, she pulled away and smiled he brushed the tear from her eye and held out the chair for her to sit down.

Lindsay finally got the power of comfort food, halfway through her sandwich and soup she felt so much better, she figured Bubbie was just talking out his ass again and blamed the situation with Madeline for her emotional reaction she was even able to answer Oliver without feeling the need to cry when he asked what happened, she was stunned when when he just nodded his head and said "that's understandable, there's a shit storm brewing". Lindsay couldn't help be impressed by his ability to accept things without too much question, she wished she could be like that, she always had to ask questions and more often than not it got her into trouble.

Oliver cleaned up the empty containers and Lindsay went to her bed and stretched out, he joined her on the bed stretched out behind her, he couldn't help his hand from sliding over her waist and resting with his finger just inside the top of her pants, she turner her heads towards him and reminded him that Bubbie was at the window, she laughed when he joked about Bubbie closing his eyes, they lay there enjoying the peace when Lindsay's phone rang.

"Fuck me" Lindsay sighed and swung her legs out of the bed, she got to her phone just as it stopped ringing, she turned to Oliver and threw up her hands, she headed back to her bed when it rang again, she got it on the second ring this time "hey its my favourite dic" Lindsay answered. This made Oliver stand up from the bed and look at her, Lindsay felt his stare and turned to see his questioning look, she smiled and winked at him as she held up her phone for him to see the face of Detective Sara Morgan, he laughed and mouthed the words sorry, Lindsay reached out and touched his hand.

Lindsay's smile dropped when she heard Sara's panicked voice "Linds get to the church now, right now" and hung up the phone. Lindsay felt her knees go weak as she grabbed her keys and ordered everyone to her car now, with in a minute Lindsay was tearing out of her parking spot with Oliver and Bubbie.
