Chapter 9: Alex
I took a sip of my hot coffee. I felt stupid just sitting down on this hundred year old chair, watching the painting of Casey. Every night before I went to bed, I had to gloom over this painting. It was so real, it looks as if I'm with her right now. I wish she was still here.
"I miss you a lot Casey." I sobbed touching the painted face. "life hurts too much. I want you with me."
"I'm so sorry for everything Casey. I so sorry for kissing her. I'm so sorry for everything i did to you! Forgive me please! Forgive me!I fell to my knees and begged. “I didn’t want to. You know I love you. Only you.”
This was stupid, I knew she would never hear what I was saying, she is dead. My body shuddered as the word made it’s way through my head. Dead. Because of me. I ruined her. I ruined her family. I ruin everything I encounter.
Sometimes I wonder to myself why I couldn’t be a normal teenage boy. Why I couldn’t be like everyone and fall in love, why couldn’t I go to sleep without having nightmares that wake me up every single night? Why did I have to be this, neither human nor ghost; I was something that could shift, something that was anything but normal.
If I was normal, I could’ve been with Casey. I could’ve loved her—even if she was a pure heart. If people like me seized to exist, then all pure hearts would be safe. All pure hearts would be given a chance at life—love.
I small sob fights it’s way out of me. I feel like about to throw up. I knew that people like me, people who needed pure hearts—who need their gems—would always exist. It’s just unfortunate. It’s life.
I leaned my head back slightly and closed my eyes. Either way Mona was going to die anyways…
Ring. Ring. Ring.
What was taking her so long to answer?
“Alex?”
“MONA!” I scrambled to my feet. “Hi.”
“Oh. Uhm. Hey.” She said stopping subtly.
“So are you doing anything next Saturday?” I asked smiling.
“Uh, I’m not sure why?” she said her voice rising slightly.
“Oh, it’s just, I don’t know, I wanted, well” I faked a stutter “Well, Mona can I ask you something?”
“You’ve been asking me a lot lately. So no.”
I snorted.
“What do you mean? I haven’t seen you in like four days. Babe, that’s not right.” Babe? Is that what it is now? I feel a tug at my heart. Casey.
I hear her breath catch through the phone. Stupid girl—she thinks I love her. Sometimes I wish she’d find out what I was planning so it wouldn’t be so easy to kill her.
“B-b-babe?” She laughs slowly. “My name is Mona. Hehe.”
“I know you little sweet pie.” Another tug. “You’re my little baby, and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my prom date.”
