If I Stay

Chapter 51

She was literally trapped in her own home and can't even see her own kids. Michael didn't do a lot of creeping up on her, or having things moved on it's own today. She played some games on her phone making time pass. She looked in the fridge to find something to eat but there was nothing but apples and little things in there. "Michael I want to get out!" Kyela demanded she walked to the door hopefully it will be unlocked as soon as she put her hand on the door. "If you go I have to watch you." She really didn't want to put up with that. " I'm a grown ass woman, I don't need to be watched." She can feel his presence follow her even if she can't see him she knows he's there. She can smell his sent in the car of mint that he always smelled like. As she gets in the store she checks off the list after every item she picks up. "Stop following me." Kyela whispered so that he can here, a customer at the store turned around to see what she wanted. "You need help getting that?" Damn he heard her before the guy touched the box of pasta Michael's spirit pushed it off the floor. The guy thought he dropped it. "Here yah go." The old man says. "Thank you." That was a close one. She put her bags in the car. "Fuck I have to get the twins. They must miss me." She put the key in the ignition and the car didn't start. She wondered why. She asked the mad near by her for help as he got out the car, he checked the wiring and under the car. "So?" She asked impatient." He lifted himself up from down under. "Your cars perfectly fine." Kyela was shocked to hear the news.

"Fine? The car acted up." She knew it was Michael playing tricks on her. She gave the man some money. "Thanks." He put the money back in her hands. "Your welcome." The car started again weirdly and she pulled up at Joey's house thinking they were there. "Hey Kye." Greeting her glumly a little angry at her. "They are at your mother and laws house." She nods. "You know what can make you feel better?" Kyela smirked playfully. "What?" Playing along. "Live with me but we're still friends don't be mad. "It's fine. You always know how to make me smile." Kyela gave Joey a meaningless kiss on the cheek and told Joey to tag along. Michael had something up his sleeve as he watched them laugh, talk, and that crap. "Mommy can I have some cookies?" Kyela hugged her precious daughters and helped Joey with the cookies. "Joey stood behind her controlling the spoon be a little flirtatious. "Oh Joey stop I can do this my self." Putting cookie dough on his nose. Joey took the tray and putting it in the oven. "Cookies, cookies, cookies!" They sand in unison. "It's almost done they are in the oven. "Mommy, Mommy!" They ran to her scared. "Yes darling?" They were breathing hard and Kyela saw the whites the twins eyes. "There was a scary man in our room!" She sat them down on the couch giving them each a cookie. "What did he look like?" Michkyela whispered in Michelle's ears. "He had curly hair and we can see through him." Michelle responded. "Yeah and he was very tall."

She told herself in her head that it was Michael. "Did he touch you?" They bobbed their heads side to side. Drinking some milk. "I'll tell that man to leave you alone, ok?" They smiled and went back playing. Kyela walked up to the nursery to investigate. "Kyela." Michael's voice whispered in the quiet room. "You scared my poor little girls Mike." His shadow was appearing in the wall. "I didn't mean to princess. I was us trying to spend time with my kids." Kyela shook hear head no in disagreement. "Your ridiculous Michael, no matter how hard you try they will still be scared of you." Michael followed her to their room like a puppy dog. "Joe can't stay here." His voice was very stern. "Why? Your dead anyways, so It shouldn't be a problem. Your not my father stop treating me like a little girl." Angrily moving Joe's stuff in order.  "You know what Michael? Ughhh." She stopped for a second and sat on the bed to cool off. "Is everything ok in here? You seem to be talking to yourself." She blushed I embarrassment. "Sorry I was just thinking." Kyela lies. He nodded and spent time with the girls again.
