(Akk Pov)

I paced the room, walking back and forth. Chewing at my fingernails from my anxiety. My mind is running wild of what ifs. Out of nowhere I could feel it was getting hard to breath. It was a struggle to take in air and my body trembled when I exhaled. I started to get paranoid, thinking that someone is opening the door. I looked at the door and couldn't look away. My chest went up and down from my harsh breathing. The wooden door got buried from my vision. I tries to rub my eyes to clear it but the blurriness stayed there.

I fell backwards hitting the side of the bed. I was on the cold floor, my hand grabbing my jacket. The hand was over my lungs and I gasped for air. I was dizzy and I saw the door open. I knew it was Ray but I could only see an outline of his figure. I heard a large object hit the floor while his footsteps got closer.

"Akk!! Hey, hey, you okay??" I heard his concerned voice. It seems like he was panicking, just like me. I tried to nod but it felt like my airways were closing. "Akk!" I looked up to him and smiled.

"It's okay," I got out with a lot of effort. He rested his hand on my arm and I calmed a bit. His other hand on my back, rubbing up and down. I shut my eyes trying to focus to bring back my breath. Feeling his hand on my cold skin relieved me. My rough breaths slowed and the dizziness went away.

I looked up at Ray, now being able to see him. My breath is back to normal and I could breathe again. I saw him do a little smile and I smiled back.

"You scared me," he said, not too loud. I know I did and I lowered my head. I didn't like people getting worried over me. I saw his hand go to my chin and pick my head up. I looked towards him and he shook his head. "I'm not mad or anything, okay?" he stated and I smiled.

"Sorry...but-"I started but Ray said something to me.

"You're fine, you don't need to explain," he said in the sweetest voice I ever heard. He grabbed my wrists and stood up. He helped me up and I got back on my feet. I forget I'm taller than him half the time. His height is cute, everything was cute about him.

"Here sit on the bed, you stay in here today," he said and I frowned. I've been in here for a while now and I'm bored. I needed to tell him but that's what I struggled to tell. The reason why I panicked. I looked down and I could tell Ray knew something was up. I could feel it, I don't know how.

I sat on the bed with my body close to itself. I wrapped my arms around my knees. My head was on my knees not being able to see Ray. He didn't say anything but I knew he wanted to. I wanted to cry at this moment. I felt a sudden warmth through my body. I felt Ray's hand on my back, he was warm. I picked up my head and leaned against the backboard. I saw his worried eyes.

"I'm sorry," I said and choked out a cry. His eyes softened and I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I saw that he shook his head as in a 'no'. I looked past Ray and into his room. It was dark and it felt sad, it always felt sad. I sighed, letting out a shaky breath. "I'm a mess," I said almost in a laugh. My tear stained eyes met with Ray's eyes. The worry within him made my heart clutch.

"You're okay, you can tell me," he said but I shook my head quickly.

"No, you would hate me and find me weird," I said and looked at him.

"Bet, tell me."

I sat up and sighed. He sat next to me and I started to panic again. Before it got worse I calmed myself down. Ray noticed and put his hand on my arm. I liked his warmth, I never had it before.

"Okay..." I started but paused, "I'm not al-alive," I stuttered. I looked up to Ray and his eyes shot in confusion. I let out a shaky breath. "I mean I'm a....Ghost."
