Wishing on Dandelions

Chapter 10

Author's note:*So I kinda confused myself on which day they are at so let's just call this Friday.*

We pull up to Adam's house and I start hoping his family can't see me, the one time I wish no one could see me, but it would be kind of awkward like "Nice to meet you, I'm a spirit."

"Adam- has Olivia said anything about seeing me around school, I don't think I've seen her recently but I'm just wondering if she can see me since she is your sister."

"I dunno, she hasn't said anything about it. She's been really quiet lately, keeps to herself, a bit worrying actually."

"Why?"

"Because she is your friend."

That happened fast, I guess we are friends.

"Maybe I can go in her room and see if she can see, but you need to come too, because she gonna freak if the door magically opens if she can't see me."

"Okay. Sooooooo, the sleeping arrangements......"

"Imma sleep on the floor."

"No, I will."

"How big is your bed?"

"Queen size."

"How 'bout this- we both sleep on the bed and have a pillow wall down the middle."

"That works," I noticed a slight smile appear on his face, and a blush spread across his cheeks. We get out of the car and head up to his door. Once he opens the door, we go up to his room and start thinking about how to talk to Olivia.

"Maybe you could ask her where something is since you both share the bathroom."

"She'll just get mad."

Back and forth this went until a knock sounded on his closed door, "Adam, are you talking to yourself?"

"No Olivia, come in here please."

The door opens and her eyes widen in shock and before I can blink, she is hugging me.

"So you can see me."

"Of course I can see you, I thought you were still in a coma, I was so scared for you," she starts talking faster than a sports car drives so I put my hand over her mouth to stop her.

"Olivia- I am in a coma, my body is still at the hospital, I don't know how or why but my spirit came out of my body and you and Adam are the only people who can see me."

I remove my hand from her mouth and watch the many expressions that cross her face while she takes it all in.

"So you are a ghost? But how can I touch you? How can you touch me?"

"First of all- it's spirit, not ghost, I'm not dead yet," Adam gives me a look that says "don't you dare think like that.'

"Second of all- I don't know, I still need to do stuff that the living do and I breathe and I can touch things. I'm here, it's just not to the world."

Olivia makes an attempt to speak but the only thing that comes out is a high-pitched noise.

"Good job, Jolene. She's finally speechless," and just like that, we all fall into fits of laughter.

****

After the three of us watch 5 movies, Olivia points out that its 2 am and bids us goodnight while heading to her room. She pops back in to ask if I want to sleep in her room.

Adam clears his throat, "Um, we already made a sleeping arrangement."

"Oh really?" She gives us a wink, causing us both to turn the color of a tomato. She leaves and shuts the door.
