Chapter 22

Chapter 22 (Emily, September 16th)

Three more days went by. Things were really starting to show. War was breaking out through-out the home of ghosts, and I was right in the middle of it. Actually, at this very moment there was another fight going on right before me. This time because of me.

I had been the stupid one to fight with one of the other ghosts. I had been the one to punch them in the face for starting things with my friends. I was the reason to all of this, to why Alex was yelling at Amy and to why she was trying to protect me, to get me out of the trouble I had caused myself.

I didn't know what I could do, I just listened. Kept my mouth shut. If I said anything more I was sure to get myself in trouble, I knew I would. But then again things were getting to far out of control. Alex was talking about how Amy should 'tame' me, like I was some dog, and Amy was saying that I wouldnt need to be 'tamed' if I actually was allowed to do things with friends. I loved Amy, at least she was there to stand up against Alex for me. But then again nothing would be like this if I had just taken everything the boy was saying.

It was at about this time that I finally had enough of all the yelling, Alex was just getting to much, the kids around him were just getting to much. I was getting furious with everything that was going on. With Alex, with Amy, with all the kids, just with everyone. "Enough!" I yelled, in a blast of anger.

Everyone froze in silence. My anger and rage silenced everyone. This made me happy but then again it didn't because now everyone was staring at me, even Alex, wondering what I would do next. I went for the simple way, the truth way. Weither I regreted it or not, I hated this fighting, and I hated Alex, and was not dealing with any of this anymore. I was done.

Taking a few deep breaths I went on, "This has to stop, now!" I yelled to everyone, staring at everyone. I made sure everyone was aware that I meant them as I meant the person next to them, "What is with everyone anymore. This fighting because of rumors they hear, because of lies they hear, and because of the fear they have. It needs to stop." I said.

Everyone was listening with interest at this point. They wanted to hear everything, even Alex at this moint was listening as if life depended on it. I continued with my rant of fury, "You all used to be friends for gods sake, all used to be close to one another, tell one another your secrets, your desires and most of all your friendship. Are you all seriously going to Let Alex and his damn lies break that?" I asked, and yelled.

Alex broke out of the somewhat spell my anger had on him and went to anger himself. I could tell in his eyes that he was mad, I could even tell that he was mad by how all the others around him flinched away as if they had just been hit, "How dare you!" He yelled, "I have done nothing but tell the truth."

"No, you have just tried to start things between friends just to start a war between people just to get involved," I yelled back, and Alex smacked me.

It was the blow of a life time. The worst pain I had felt in years. It was like a a bomb explosion on my face and it hurt like crazy. Made tears run to my eyes but not fall, I wouldn't let them fall, instead I fell. Straight to the ground covered in pain. That is when all hell broke lose too. That is when everyone, and I mean everyone picked their actual side.

The minute I was actually able to blink and see again, and not worry about my face being completly red though I knew it was I looked up to see that Amy yet again had attacked Alex. This time she punched him square in the nose. Blood oozed from the fresh wound on his nose. It even looked like she had broken it, i was thankful.

"How dare you hit a girl," Amy was yelling at Alex who was now clutching his nose cursing under his breath. 'Good,' was the only thing I could think of.
