Hi I changed the POV in this chapter bc it works better I hope ydm
___________________________________________
Jeanne POV

I closed the door. Finally alone... It was a hard day, meeting other people and the whole new school thing. Even at home I couldn't be alone because of the wierd ghost guy. Thomas... He was kinda cute and maybe just a little bit hot. But well dead. And white. And rosty. And wierd.

I jogged into the woods. The dark trees towered above me and I bearly saw the pale blueness of the afternoon sky. I decided to run off the path that was planned through the forest. I know it was dumb from me especially because I wasn't in the forest before. I ran between the trees until I stopped at a clearing. There was a huge walnut tree in the middle. I ran up to it. A rope hang down a bough. The tree grew onto it. Well that's wierd...

I grabbed the rope and started to climb up. My hands hurt but soon I sat on the bough. I stood up and started to climb higher. I climbed as high as I could and looked around me. I saw as the sun got closer to the horizon and when I turned around I saw the forest and our house. I just sat there for hours until I decided to go. It was already close to dawn as I found a pond with huge rocks. I decided to come back at the weekend. I truly pleasured the calmness of the forest and the cold wind that started to pick up. Soon I found myself at our house. I didn't even know how I got back there. I just ran somewhere.

It was already dark when I opened the door. Suddenly I met the palm of my stepfather on my cheek. "WHERE WERE YOU GONE THAT LONG?!"

Back to normal POV

Thomas started to truly care about the girl and now she was gone for hours, alone. Where could she possibly be away that long? He heard the Maindoor open. That has to be her he thought. Thomas ran down the stairs and saw that the stepfather did the same, just a lot faster than the ghost. And a lot more flusrtated. Jeanne slowly closed the door a bit panting but all- fine.

Thomas heard steps on the first floor and looked up for a second to see the mother in her bathrobe heading to the bath. Suddenly a loud slap filled the quiteness of the house. Thomas snapped his head back to see the man towering above the girl, her having a red hand-mark on her right cheek. "WHERE WERE YOU GONE THAT LONG?! WE WORRIED AVOUT YOU! WE COME HOME AND YOU'RE NOWHERE! YOU WERE PROBABLY IN TOWN GIVING HEAD TO SOME RANDOM GUYS RIGHT?!" The girl looked at the ground, the only sound coming from her was a little sob.

Ten seconds of silence.

"ANSWER ME WHORE!" The man grabbed her by her hair and shouted into her tear-stained face. "I-I was just in the forest ru-running." She sobbed anger and hatred filled. "Oh in the forest?" He asked a bit teasingly. "Yes in the fucking forset."

She stepped on his feet and stabbed him with a pocket knife in his leg. It wasn't good for killing. It could only hurt someone. He shouted some cusswords but let her hair go. She pushed him away and ran up the stairs, passed Thomas and ran straight into her room.

The ghost stood there hatred and disgust filling him. He slowly walked to the man and leaned down because he was sitting on the floor, grabbing his leg, where he was stabbed.

Thomas was behind him and made himself visible to talk to the man.
"My sister will be pleased if I allow her to kill someone after all these years. Be careful." He wispered and turned himself back to invisible. He left than the scared man, who turned around to find him but only saw the thin air.

The ghost walked up the stairs and knocked on the door of the girl, as a real gentleman.

___________________________________________
Btw ghosts can touch objects without being visible, but living beings only while being visible. Just so nobody gets confused why he can knock on the door while being invisible.

Btw sorry for my poor writing, and also sorry for the wierd story idk what I'm doing.
