The haunting :a slightly concerning,love story

the first night.

Just me and my friend.
you reassured yourself,as you walked around the downstairs of the building.

"Oh."
you look over to Luna,who's eyes were now as wide as saucers.

"What's wrong?" You quickly walked over to her,looking at what her attention had been absorbed on

A letter.

"To my darling son.
i am so sorry I wasn't able to be there for you as a mother,I know I wasn't there much,with dad and everything but I just want you to know that I love you so much. And you left this book,on the cliff you fell from,so I kept it, and left it in the library on the desk,so I still have a part of you.
rest in peace August.
-mom

we stood there,the silence suffocating the whole room.
You were always the type of person to be able to come up with comforting lies,or reassurance to fill the void of sadness that people always struggled to ignore.

but for once,you had no words.
you began to feel your heart banging Vigorously in your chest,your breaths becoming shallow,because it's only at that moment when everything started to add up.

why no one wanted to live around here.

the faint tint of dried blood on the concrete at the back of the house.

why the price plummeted each time I had looked at the asking price.

people had 𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑑 in this house.

"So..like.."
"Are there ghosts?"

Luna mumbled,holding onto the arm of my jacket.

she was the more mature one usually ,but when it comes to these things she seems to latch on to me.
I find it cute,but in this situation I felt just as scared as she did.

"Nah,I'm sure there's not." I laughed,trying not to even think about it.

And then we heard a big knock on the door.

F*ck.

"I'm-im sure it's fine" I mumbled,walking warily but quickly out of the room to see who was there.

a Middle Aged looking lady stood sheepishly in the doorway.

with a 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 expensive dress on.

"My son.." she whispered.

"Who's your son ma'am?"

"He's gone."she cried softly,sinking into the floor.

"Where is he?" I bent down,going to console her

But as I went to touch her,Luna called.

"WHAT WAS IT?? WAS IT A GHOST?? ARE YOU SCARED??" She laughed,well she'd gotten over that pretty quickly.

"No,there's this lady she-"

"What lady?"

"Here-" I said turning around.

She was gone.

"are you in your "I see ghosts" arc?"
she mocked,trying not to laugh at me.

"n..no she was here I-"
"She was here."

"It's okay..I believe you."
She cooed,bending down and wrapping her arm around me.

and suddenly 𝐼 was the vulnerable one.

"I feel like I'm going crazy already" I sighed,letting myself be comforted by her.

"Moving is a pretty big thing you know."

"want me to stay with you tonight?she asked softly.

"Yeah."

She helped me up, going to walk into the kitchen.
"You coming?

"Yeah won't be a sec" I smiled weakly.

I gazed out of the door,watching the sun set.

She was starting 𝑑𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑙𝑦 at me.

"She's not sorry,by the way."
"She's the one who killed me."
August sighed,watching this young lady turn arourn walk sluggishly into the kitchen.

"your pretty interesting."

"I think I'm gonna haunt ya."
