“Lily?!” I said while looking at lily direction with surprised expression, she actually came back, but looking mad.
“What are you talking about? lily? are you trying to scare me?”James said as he looked at the direction I'm looking as he's eyes widen when he saw a floating book.
Probably, he realized by now that Lily was the one who threw a book on his head and right now, lily is the one holding the book that's floating in the air.
“Th- this is probably a trick right? there's no way that ghost e- exist!” James said in shaky voice as he back up, and then lily threw another book at him.
After she did that, she took a vase this time, I sigh as I finally spoke “Lily, that's enough..”
“Don't get in my way mister, he's finally Infront of me! the one responsible for my death!” She said as the room gets colder, instead of looking at me with a cold smile, she looked really mad.
She's gripping hard on the vase, wanting to throw it but if she wanted to do that she wouldn't even bother to listen to me, so there's at least part of her that doesn't want this.
I came closer to her, as I grabbed the vase on her hand, she didn't let it go, she was gripping really hard on it.
“Lily, I know this wouldn't make you better, revenge wouldn't satisfy you… it wouldn't make you rest in peace”, “But mister, this is my unfinished business”
“No it's not, your unfinished business is you not letting go.. you were confused when you die.. you were lonely, and got neglected when you were alive.. you might see revenge as your unfinished business but it's not… it's on yourself.. because you wouldn't move on.. you wouldn't let go.. you don't wanna part ways with your love one's.. even when your finally dead.”
Lily gripped on the vase slowly loosen, until she let go of the vase, I place the vase on where it used to be.
As I looked at lily expression, she was staring blankly at the wall, it seems I hit the mark.
I pulled her closer to me, as I hugged her, I hate hearing children cry, it's noisy and quite annoying… but this time, I wouldn't mind seeing and hearing a kid cry.
She didn't hugged back, but she started crying, she is indeed just a child, who was lonely and wanted someone comfort for 2 years now..
Even if she can go to her parents… her parents can't see her or even talk back to her.. no matter how much she clung on them, they wouldn't realized she's doing that
“I can't see you lily but.. I'm sorry once again” James said while looking down, he seems guilty for what he did.
I stopped hugging lily, as I made her sit Infront of James “Can you tell your reason once again on why you didn't rush her to the hospital?”.
I asked James, as he once again explained everything to lily, on why he didn't help her and left her to die.
Lily listen to all of it with a frown in her face, I know James reason isn't enough to make lily forgive him, but even so, I hope it helps her understand that killing isn't the answer..
After James is done explaining everything is quiet, until James finally spoke “Is.. lily saying anything?”
Right I forgot, James can't see and hear lily, I shook my head as I replied “She's not talking”
“I see.. I don't think she'll forgive me..” James said as he once again looked down.
“I need some moment mister.. my head right now is a mess.. I want him to suffer the same fate as me, but now.. I don't know..” lily said as she went through the bedroom walls.
I sigh, as I looked at James “She left.. I don't know if she forgive you.. but you can leave now.. “ James got up, as he left my apartment.
As soon as he left, I checked the bedroom only to see a letter there, the writing is a bit messy and crayons are used. it said.
“I'll go back to my parents for now mister, I'll come back once I'm ready
-Lily”
I sigh as I read the letter, she must have been really confused.. and can't decide what to do.. I hope going to her parents help..
