A/N: short filler chapter. 

Ghost

My little porcelain angel doesn't remember me. Just my name. He doesn't remember himself either. The way his smile lights up a room, or his infectious laugh. The way he sings, or gets all stuttery when bashful, or any of the little quirks I love about him. This is all my fault. If I had kept a better eye on him we wouldn't be here. Stupid stupid stupid,

"Ghost?" Ricky's small voice says. I looked up and his beautiful eyes were filling with tears. I got in the bed with him and held him close. He sniffles and lays on my chest. His small frame starts shaking so I held him tighter and rubbed his back. Ricky's a sniffling mess now and looks up at me with the make up running down his  face. I wiped some of it away and he just silently looks at me. Beautiful. 

"What am I to you?" He finally asks. I thought about it for awhile. That's a good question. We're a little more then friends but not exactly boyfriends. It's confusing. I could say we're boyfriends but if he ever recovers and realizes I lied to him, then who knows what he'll do. But if I say just friends I may friend zone myself permanently and I can't live with that. 

"Well we're not exactly friends but not boyfriends just yet. I love you Ricky but if you don't wanna be in a relationship I understand." He nods and remains silent for the next 10-15 mins. After an hour I realized he had drifted off again and I smiled, pulling his black hair from that gorgeous face of his. I sighed then started to get out of the bed but Ricky wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Stay please." I hear him whisper so I shifted to get comfortable and laid back. I hope the nurses don't mind me in his bed. I'm not blocking any IV cords so I hope it's fine. 

"Sleep well my porcelain angel. I promise no harm will come to you again."  I whispered in his ear and kissed his head. Thats a heavy promise but I fully intend to keep it. Failure is not an option. I pulled out my phone and made a long overdue call.

"9-1-1? Yes I'd like to report an abuse."
