Falling Love

Part fourteen

My body was  there. Wtf, what is going on? I sat on my bed and touched my body. It was cold as ice as if I was dead. At that moment Carson appeared. Just like Audrey had disappeared. I looked up at him as he came and sat next to me. I admired his jawline and face sculptor as he came closer.

"I need to tell you something."

"Okay? What's going on though? Why's my body so cold, why can I even see my body?"

"That's what it's about." I prepared my self for what Carson was about to say. I had no clue what Carson was going to tell me.

"You see..... well your....  dead." What! No!

"Audrey killed you earlier by pushing you off the stairs, you probably remember as I remember my death. Audrey's homicidal she has been for a very long time. You see I lived in this house from when I was fifteen  and Audrey was already here. As a ghost, she haunted the place. She fell in love with me as we got to know each other. I never liked her like that but as a friend. She was weird though I knew something was up about her. Then when she killed me at the age of eighteen in 1998 I knew she was fucked up. She was a ghost who had fallen in love with a live boy, kinda like us. I've been stuck in this house ever since, I've seen people go and come but you, you were different and I liked that difference about you! I wasn't scared to show myself to you. You didn't seem to question about why I was always here, you just went along with it."  Carson paused for a second as he grabbed my hand "I knew you would one day move out and we'd never be together but I held onto you while I could. You were my first love, even though I'm dead I can still fell love like the living just like you did. But now that your dead we can be together, that is.. if you want. You obviously won't be able to see you mum and Aiden for the rest of your life but you need to tell them. You need to tell them your dead other wise they will keep living here thinking your alive and soon they'll notice that your not getting older, your hair won't grow and when they move out you'll be stuck here. I didn't have to tell my parents, I just let them see my body. I was shot three times in the chest by Audrey and I have never forgiven her and never will! We will be stuck here until the day this house is teared down." I was so overwhelmed by all this new information. I was upset  that I couldn't live anymore and be with my mum and Aidedn. But then again I will be with Carson forever which I'm fine about.

"Do your parents ever visit you?"

"No. I didn't tell them I was a ghost, I just watched them for the next two months after my death as they moved out. I knew they missed me. My mum cried every night as my older sister did. My brother and dad held them selfs together to keep the family going. I was the baby of the family. They've come back to the house every time it's gone up for sale. I watch as they walk around the house and they always try to hold the tiers in. And then I watch them get in the car, mum breaks down as they drive off. It's the same every time." My heart broke as I heard Carson explaining this to me. I was lucky, I was able to tell my mum and Aiden  about my death. And I knew I would be doing it tomorrow.

Carson removed my body from my bedroom and placed it under the house. That night we fell asleep in my bed. Yes we did fall asleep who knew ghost could do that?

When I woke up it was ten and I knew what I had to do. I prepared myself and walked down the stairs to where my mum and Aiden were. I sat down in my usual seat. I was so nervous. I knew they would be upset but I was scared. What if they thought I was joking? What if they hated me for it?
