Ghost town

College

Tyler wasn't at College the next day or the day after. Every day I got hope that he would be there and as soon as it got to lunch the sinking feeling in my stomach told me he wasn't coming.

I walked as slow as I could to my therapy session, hoping I would see him at the place we met but there was no sign of him.

Walking towards the waiting room, someone grabbed my arm. Turning around, I expected to see Tyler standing there, no such luck. It was my Mum.

"Hi sweetie. Got a job for you, go fetch your brother from hockey practice would you", she pleaded.

Yes! She had obviously forgotten about my session. It was enough to make me run towards the car, grabbing the keys as I rushed past her. Even if it was to pick up my annoying brother, I still got to miss therapy.

Spotting my brother, I ran to him grabbing his sleeve pulling him into the car and locking the door before he could object.

"Hey, what the hell?!" he yelled at me.

"Shut up, Mum told me to pick you up so here I am."

"But I thought you were supposed to be at therapy?"

"Not anymore thicko", I said to him driving home. When we pulled up the drive, we sort of just sat there.

"What are you waiting for? Get out!" I screamed at him impatiently wanting to go and see Tyler.

I sneaked into the student office and found his address on the computer. I know it may sound a bit stalkerish but I had to know why he wasn't at school.

I pulled up outside his house, seeing a few 'ghost' cats waiting at his door. I walked up to the door, not actually knowing what I was going to say when I got there.

Before I even managed to knock, the door was pushed open. I saw a man stood there, his arm around a 'ghost' lady.

Tyler was soon pushing his way past them, trying to keep the cats out.

"Ali... Meet my parents..."
