I grew up in an old 2 story house. Many people thought that it had a run down exterior but I thought that the age gave it character. The exterior of this house caused people to say that my home was haunted and that I lived among ghosts.

I love horror, don't get me wrong, but I really love my house, it's Victorian decor and architecture was beautiful. Though I did have my fair share of eerie experiences but most of the time, there were logical explanations.

In 3 days, I will be turning 18, I'm excited and anxious at the same time. The thought of adulthood and leaving home in a couple of years scared me-I was not ready.

Looking back, things always happened on my birthdays. Something would fall or my family and I would hear some noises but I always ended up okay-always. I am awaiting for the weird thing that will happen this time.

I looked out my window, seeing my mothers precious garden that she spent all her time in. I sighed and continued reading my book, curling up in the warm, fuzzy blanket I had. I looked at the time 4:37, my eyes were getting droopy so I put the book down and laid on my bed, slowly falling asleep.

Thursday and Friday past by slowly and even slower due to my eagerness to celebrate my birthday. It was finally Saturday, the day of my 18 birthday.

I turned on my side and opened my eyes, ready to get up and have a blast but instead there was a boy sleeping in my bed. I almost screamed but he opened his eyes and put a hand on my mouth. I panicked and looked at the unknown pretty boy lying next to me. How did he even get into my house?!

"Hey, hey, don't scream, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." His brown eyes twinkled and I felt a pain in my chest. This boys face was already giving me breathing problems.

His cold hand was still covering my mouth, once he saw that I wasn't going to scream anymore, he removed his hand.

"I know you're confused but just relax." He desperately tried to calm me down.

"Who are and how'd you get into my house?" I asked still a bit panicked.

"I'm Calum. I used to live here-until I died".
