A/N: Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying this book so far. This chapter isn't really much of anything. It's just a filler. The next couple of chapters though are going to be pretty eventful so please stay tuned!

I flew across the country, trying to find a motel that the ghost police wouldn't look for us in. I ended up in Georgia and there was a small motel next to a garage/gas station. I asked the man working there if I could rent a room. I flew back to New York once everything was arranged.

I phased into the building and saw Amber sitting on the ground with her knees to her chest and Crystal's arms wrapped around her head, comforting her. "What are you doing?" I asked and they both jumped.

Crystal unwrapped her arms from Amber and Amber wiped away her tears. "Oh Danny, when did you get back?" She asked, almost surprised.

"I just got back now. What's wrong?" I asked as I stepped further into the room.

"She's just freaking out." Crystal said.

I walked over to them and knelt down beside Amber. I rubbed her back. "It's okay. I have everything worked out. I found us a place." I smiled.

"Really? Where?" She asked, looking up at me with her huge eyes.

"Georgia. It's like really secluded and stuff." I explained.

"Thank you Danny." She hugged me and I smiled at Crystal who looked a little upset. She just looked away.

We separated and Amber stood up. "I'm going to go stretch. I have been sitting there for about an hour." She said and then phased out of the building.

I sat down and then turned my head to Crystal who was crying a little bit. "What's wrong?" I asked her.

"What?" She wiped away a tear. "Nothing. I uh, I just don't want my parents to worry."

I moved closer to her and looked at her. Her head was hanging and I lifted her chin up. "Crystal, what is wrong? I know that's not it."

"Danny, I just, I can't." She got up and walked a few steps away from me.

"Will you talk to me?" I demanded.

"It's awkward. You guys are in love and then there's me. The ex-girlfriend." She said.

"You two get along fine." I stood up and walked over to her.

"I know. She's a great person, but I still love you too." She looked away.

"Well, you know that we can't be together." I told her.

"I know."

I pulled her into a hug and she cried into my chest. "I just miss you." I held her and she just let it all out for a few minutes. She cried about how if I wasn't dead, we could be together and the fact that I was with Amber. She calmed down and pulled away. "I'm sorry. I probably seem really desperate."

I just stared into her gorgeous green eyes. I pushed some of her blonde hair behind her ear and cupped her cheek. Don't do it. You have Amber. Amber will be pissed if she finds out. Don't do it. Our lips touched and moved in rhythm with each other. I missed her touch, her kisses, her.

She pulled away and looked into my brown eyes. She seemed happy, but scared. "Danny?" She asked.

"I uh, we have to go." I said and turned. I quickly walked out of the building and found Amber standing with her hands covering her face. "Are you okay?"

"You remember that guy, Nick, I briefly dated. That night that you found Crystal?" She asked me, uncovering her face.

"Yeah, why?" I asked her.
