Suicide. It was just what I needed to commit. I unlocked my door and ran out of the penthouse and I was once again wondering the hallways. I ran to the nearest window and opened it.
It was a human sized window. Perfect. The curtains danced as the chilly wind hit my skin. I closed my eyes and thought for a moment. My mother, dead. My man whore father, everything. I couldn't take it anymore. I felt my tears dry due to the wind. I grabbed the edges of the window and climbed it. Then I looked down. I could tell it was going to be a long jump.
I could hear cars honking their horns dramatically and many different voices in the busy city streets of Los Angeles. Then I decided it's been long enough and that I was going to jump now. I was about to jump when suddenly I hear a voice behind me. The voice so dry yet depressed. I turned around to see who it was. It was someone I've never seen before. It was a woman with short frizzy blonde hair and was wearing a cheetah printed coat. There were few tears slowly running down her cheeks.
"I was once pushed out of a window. In fact, it was the same window you're about to jump out of right now. Come dear. You're to young to die", she said, grabbing my wrist.
She helped me off the window and then she closed it.
"Who are you?", I asked.
"The name's Sally. Some refer to me as Hypodermic Sally because I'm a drug dealer. I made Iris's son, Donavon, overdose by selling him drugs, and it was something his mother Iris all witnessed. And she got revenge. Oh she got revenge alright! She pushed me out of this window and made people believe it was suicide", Sally explained.
"So you're another ghost?", I asked.
"Yes, but enough about me. Why were you about to kill yourself?", Sally asked me.
"My mother died, she was also in jail at the moment. My father left for another slut and now I live here with my aunt",I explained.
"The countess?",Sally asked.
"Yes."
"She's a bitch."
"Why is that?",I asked.
"Try not to get on her bad side. You'll regret it, but by the time you do you'll be dead! Stuck here in this shit hotel forever",Sally warned.
"Oh my god. I completely forgot about being stuck here forever if I die on the hotel's property. Thank you so much Sally for stopping me out of suicide", I thanked her.
"What did you say your name was again?",Sally asked.
"Rachel."
"Well Rachel, if you need anything, summon me. I'll tell you what's right and what's wrong. Who to talk to and who not to talk to. Everyone here's full of shit", she explained.
"How long have you been here?", I asked.
"Too long", she said.
"Well Rachel, I'll be going now. Remember what I told you. And try to stay alive, or get out of here while you still can", Sally said, walking away.
