Jasmine POV
His face drew closer and closer until he was in my face. I blinked a few times but he was still there. Smiling as if he wasn't dead.
"Jasmine." Paul grabbed my wrist.
With one wave, Brandon disappeared.
"Jasmine. What's wrong?" Paul shook me.
I looked at him and smiled. "Nothing. Just had a thought."
"Well, I'll clean this up. Sit down."
"Thanks." I smiled again.
Meadow Rain began to cry. I took her out her bassinet and excused myself to go upstairs to put her down for her nap.
I slowly walked upstairs. Was it real? I'm insane, like really insane. Or is Brandon trying to communicate with me. They say the dead tries to talk to the living all the time.
I can't tell Paul. He'll put me in a crazy home and divorce me and probably marry Mia. I put Meadow Rain in her crib and got one of the baby monitor and took it with me.
Halfway down the stairs, I heard movement so I went back up to examine.
I know it sound corny but I saw Brandon. He was standing over her crib and he looks at me. He gave me a thumbs up.
"Take care of her. She's a beautiful one." He walked over to me and kissed my cheek, then disappeared.
What the fuck? I am a lunatic. Meadow Rain was still sleep. I didn't realize that I was crying until I felt tears dripped on my arms. I wiped them quickly and went back downstairs. Paul and the nuisances were cleaning up and preparing to watch a movie. I really just wanted to lay down on a couch and talk out my feeling. If I go to a shrink, word will get out and will add more rumors.
Paul Walker drove Jacko Wacko.
Can it be? Jasmine Jackson is suicidal. Daddy can't help!
I shook my head and sat on the couch, looking at the paused TV. Jor came to sit next I me.
"It'll get better."
She handed me a napkin to wipe the tear stains. I thanked her and she nodded.

"You saw Brandon?" Paul looked at me as we got ready for bed.
"Yes. Yes I did."
"Jasmine, you know I love and respect you but this is absurd. I'm sorry but he's gone. I know you miss him. I do too but it isn't okay to make this stuff up."
"Whoa. Make this up? I'm making up that I saw my brother ghost."
"You have a point but please-"
"No. Fuck you! Don't believe me? Fine. I see where your loyalty is.0 Are banging someone else?" I raised an eyebrow.
"What? No. That has nothing to do with this conversation. So don't bring that up."
"Whatever." I said walking out the room.
"Where ya going?"
"To hell. Wanna join?"
"Jasmine!" Paul yelled.
I went outside to the back of the house where there was a bunch of hammocks. I got in one and looked up at the stars.
I swear, I saw him again and again and again as I lay restless in the hammock that night.
