GhostBoy

The Ghost Boy

Some people think that I don't deserved to be depressed, they think I desire attention. They think that my silence and the blood trailing down my arm is just another way to fool people into helping me.

That's why I stopped trying to become one with society. Life along with its people are cruel and take away everything from you.

"Come on bitch why won't you start crying for your mommy already?" I remember the schools cheerleading captain Taylor along with her other two friends taunting me in the bathroom stall as they kept kicking and punching me.

I just sat there against the wall in silence as I could feel blood run down my arms and legs.

I didn't care.

These people were the reason I was depressed.

That day that I had come home bloody and bruised my mother had then glared at me from the kitchen, obvious disappointment in her eyes.

Then she would start yelling as she always did, "Why can't you be like your brother Audrey?! He gets perfect grades, plays the violin, and is popular among his schoolmates! What do you do? You fight at school and come home expecting praise!"

She never knew the full truth, she always assumed I was fighting, not the one being beat up.

My brother Will is what you would call a "Perfect Child." No matter what he did he was flawless with it. He was only one year older than me but he was always my parents favorite child.

Nowadays Will doesn't even talk to me anymore. Everyday he comes home, practices on his violin, eats dinner, then goes to bed. It's his daily routine.

I truly wished I had a different life.

I wish I could start all over again but life doesn't work that way.

So dying was my second best option.

The day I decided to do it, to say goodbye, it was sometime in October.

By the time had gotten out of school I had already decided it was time.

I tripped over someone feet as I was exiting the bus, causing myself to fall down the stairway and onto the cracked street below.

I could hear the roaring of laughter as the pain from the fall made my vision blurry, but I didn't care. It'd all end soon.

I had quickly gotten up onto my feet and walked in the opposite direction of my house. This way was where the park, Walmart and the water tower were.

I was focused on the water tower.

By the time I had gotten there the wind had started picking up. I quickly grabbed the ladder of the tower and started climbing up, holding on tightly so I wouldn't fall to early.

The wind blew fiercely but I managed to make it to the top.

From the top you could see the whole city in a beautiful overview.

The perfect place to rest in piece.

I slowly closed my eyes and let a smile light up my face for the first time in years.

I'm free now.

I moved my foot forward, about to put my weight down so I would begin to fall.

"Are you really going to jump?"

Suddenly a male voice from behind me spoke up and I almost fell over in surprise. My eyes snapped open and I quickly steadied myself, turning to face the guy that just spoke.

What I saw made my heart start to beat faster.

There was a boy around six inches taller than me with long wavy bangs in front of his face. He wore a hoodie and jeans and he had a small diamond in his left ear.

But this guy though was halfway translucent.

I could see part of the sky through him.

"Wh...Who are you?" I muttered softly, looking at him.

His eyes gazed into mine as his lips remained in a serious expression, "Well..." He rubbed the back of his head, "I think my name was Walter? No Walker sounds better." He said softly.

"You don't remember?" I questioned softly, I was starting to get less anxious now and my muscles were starting to loosen.

"Mhm..." He nodded, "All I really know is my name and that I died around a year ago."

"How did you die?"

Why was I asking him these questions? It's not like I care. I want to jump off and end everything.

"Again I don't know..." He sighed and then looked into my eyes again, "But I don't think you want to die too."

"Why not?"

"Because..." He said slowly stepping forward. His footsteps made no sounds at all, "Then you'll be stuck hear in this ghost form forever. Stuck in a world that causes pain."

I swallowed nervously. His voice was starting to send shivers up my spine. He was calm and deadly serious as he spoke, making me want to believe him.

"O...okay," I nodded slowly.

Death..... It's painful and will leave me in a ghost form for all eternity.

I like my chances better here alive, I can't suffer any more than this.

I slowly began to walk back towards the ladder and looked up at the ghost boy, Walker, one last time, "Thank you, but next time you won't be able to stop me."

Walker slowly came up to me in front of the ladder, he then gave off a small smile , "Who said I was leaving?"
