The Non-Existent Love ||L.T.||

Don't Talk To Me

It's been a month since my fight with dad. I hadn't spoken to him, eat with him, interact with him. I still go to work, but I use my own car. When it was my pay day for the month, he just placed it on the dining table at home and I just grab it and get back to my room.

Wonder what I've been doing that whole month?

I've been spending my time working and, talking to Louis. We talk all day all night, whenever I'm free. He asks me why it seems like I've been distant to my Dad but I just told him that he shouldn't mind. He's going to be gone soon anyways.

Yeah. I did tell Louis that Dadrry would be calling a psycho,- I mean a psychic soon so he could make the ghosts disappear. I know it's been a month, but it seems like Dad hasn't called his friend.

Maybe he had pity on me.

At least that's what I thought.

I heard him call that psychic a while ago, I was eavesdropping on his office door. The psychic would be travelling from somewhere far, so it would take her long to arrive here.

I heard that she would be arriving next week, knowing that I have so little time left to spend with Louis.

Did I even mention that I don't talk to Zayn anymore?

I don't talk to Zayn now, and I admit that I miss him. He argued with me just like dad did, saying that all that I'm doing is nonsense.

Now, it seems like he found his new girl bestfriend, that shy girl that works in Dadrry's shop, Arica. Oh please, I bet he's just doing that to make me jealous. I did try to talk to him again, but he walks away and treats me like a ghost, someone who's invisible. Nice game Zayn.

Right now, the only one that's been here for me is Niall. He talks to me, and he comforts me whenever I cry because of Dadrry and Zayn. I want to apologize, but I don't have the courage to.

Zayn's POV

"Yeah sure! I'll go with you to dinner! That'll be great." Arica said smiling. I just invited her to dinner with me, it's not a date, just dinner. I don't want to go to dinner with Uncle Harry and Candice. Full of drama.

I hate being ignored, you know? That feeling when your bestfriend talks to someone else and just ditches you? Candice keeps on talking to her freaking ghost friend. Before I kept asking her to go have lunch with me, go to the mall, hang out, watch a movie, talk, but she says she still needs to talk to Louis. Louis, Louis, Louis. Damn it.

Yes, I am jealous because I cannot hang out with her anymore. Uncle told me that he would be calling a psychic to make the bad spirits including Louis, disappear. It's because Candice had changed alot since she met him.

Before when we still talk to each other, she kept talking about him like there's no other topic. It's so annoying. I miss the old her, where we bond with each other and laugh around. But when I see her, I hold a grudge against her. How is she able to replace a bestfriend which she knew for 20 years to someone who she just met a month ago?

And that someone is just a ghost.

When you're in my place, you'll think she's insane. Most of the time when there's not much customers, you'll see her at a corner near the fire exit laughing by herself. I cannot see Louis, so if I look at Candice it looks like she's a mental patient.

The employees don't really mind now because they know about the ghost. So they don't think Candice is insane. They know is that Candice is talking to that ghost and they shouldn't distract her. Weird right?

Good thing I became close to Arica a bit. She would never replace Candice, no one could. But I needed to talk to someone, not just Niall. Charles and Avan are not really my type of friends. Something's just not right with them. One time I saw them hanging out at the lounge eating some chips, they removed their shoes and they tried to get a chip using their foot and place it in their mouth. Isn't that disgusting?

I'm just worried about her if Louis is going to be gone for good, would she be okay with it? Will she able to handle it or she's going to be depressed?

I don't want that to happen to her. Anyways, I'll be here for her. I can't ignore her any much longer. It hurts to ignore your bestfriend when she approaches you and you just pretend that she's not there.

I wonder of she felt the same way towards me. Does she still care? I don't think so. It's been awhile when she last approached me. Whenever I looked at her, she looks happy, but there's still something missing about her happiness. It's me and her dad.

When we caught each other looking, I glared at her, but regretting it when I look away. Sometimes, she does the same to me. If we aren't in huge fight right now, I would've laugh at her glaring. It's cute, yet creepy.

All I really want is that everything would be back to normal. No ghosts that interupts us.

Candice's POV

I can't stop thinking about the arguement me and Zayn had. It always bugs me, and I don't like it. I do want to say sorry but I don't think I can go near him. He looks so mad at me, and if his eyes can just shoot someone he would've shot me for sure. I just want them to understand me.

~flashback~

"But Zayn please! My reason is acceptable!" I begged. "No! You're wasting your time talking to a ghost! And now you're telling you're falling inlove with him?? Are you out of your mind Candice?!" Zayn yelled at me.

"What's wrong with that??" I argued. "You are asking me what's wrong with falling inlove with someone who does not exist??" He told me. "Yeah! I love him and there's nothing that can stop us. He said he loves me too.."

"Candice wake up! You don't even know everything about him! People realizes that they are inlove in an average of 3 months! But you, just about half a month! You're absurd!!" He yelled.

"I am not absurd! You said people! Well Louis isn't a human!" I spat. "I was talking about you for fucks sake! You are human! What the hell! You shouldn't fall in love with a ghost, are you serious!? Is this some kind of sick joke?? It isn't April fools yet Candice don't be too excited" He said.

No one really understands me, no one does. Is it hard for them to understand? I don't know really, but I love Louis, and I hope he turns human soon, if that is even possible.

"That's it Zayn. You don't understand me. Just don't mind me, I taught you were going to comfort me after my arguement with dad, but you just argued with me like what Dadrry did." I left him in the living room and just ran outside to drive my car and hopefully I'll find Niall, I know he would understand me.

"Louis? Are you here?" I spoke, I'm inside my room home alone. I decided to go home early because, I sense a tension at the shop. Just looking at Dad and Zayn.

"I'm here." Louis appeared by the door. "Why do you look sad? Anything that happened?" He asked.

"Of course something did you know just the usual, Dadrry and Zayn. They don't seem to have forgiven me yet." I told him.

"Why can't you just say sorry to them? That's not really a big deal. You know I'll be gone soon and I need to leave you, and you should already be in good terms with your family." He said.

"But they don't want me near them, they think I'm crazy." I said, "Just say sorry okay? Harry is your dad, he loves you very much. Do you know it hurts him to not talk to you? He cannot concentrate in his work thinking about you. And Zayn? He's just with Arica because he misses you. They're friends yeah, but it's still different, because you aren't Arica. They need you Candice, say your apologies now before it's too late.

"Fine, I will. But-" Louis cut my sentence, "No buts. You apologize, okay?" He commanded. "Yes, I will." I nodded my head.

Omg, is everything being too fast? Well that was a fast forward so yeah :) I hope you guys like it?
