The Ghost Of My Sister ~H.S~

Chapter 4 ~ Breaking The News

~Harry's POV~

The boys and I got out of the car dragging our knackered selves down the path towards the front door. As I was about to enter the house I heard quite sobs coming from behind me. I looked at the other boys who were trying to find the key before turning around. My gaze shifted over the front garden seeing no one, then just as I was about to carry on walking, a figure sitting behind the statue caught my eye. As I got closer I realised it was Ella. I made my way to her and kneeled down. She looked so sad, so broken, it honestly broke my heart. All's I wanted to do was comfort her but that's not so easy when I can't touch her.

I frowned as I looked over her features, black rings under her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot, she had tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked alive, so alive that I reached out to touch her then remembered what she really was, "Ella? What's wrong?".

She hid her face in her hands and shook her head.

"Please tell me". My voice was nothing more than a whisper. I never took my eyes off her as I sat beside her leaning against the statue.

She was silent for a few minutes until she spoke up, still hiding her face with her hands, "I-I'm fine Ha-Harry".

"No you're not Ella, I want to help you".

"There's nothing you can do Harry".

I sighed deeply as I ran my fingers through my hair, "Just......Ella please tell me?".

She finally lifted her head and turned to face me, "I wish I wasn't here, I would give everything to be with my parents, I miss them so much and it kills me knowing I may never see them again! No one knows what it's like to be stuck in-between worlds, I can't do anything, no one knows how I feel".

I looked down fighting the tears, then I had an idea, "I could".

She frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?".

"You said you have the ability to make others feel what you're feeling, so use that ability on me, I want to know what you're going through".

"Harry I can't let you do that! It's horrible, no one should have to feel the way I do".

"Please Ella, I want to! Please!". I was begging her, I understood it wasn't gonna be a good feeling but I needed to know.

She seemed to be in deep thought as she stared into my eyes, after a while she slowly nodded "OK, If you're sure".

I nodded "I need to what you're going through and how you're feeling if I want to help you".

She slightly smiled as she turned her body to face me, "I need you to close your eyes and focus on the beating of your heart".

I nodded and did as I was told. Seconds later I felt this horrid pain in my chest, it wasn't a physical pain, more of an emotional pain. This overwhelming feeling of sadness and depression washed over me and that was when I opened my eyes to see Ella looking down as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

I shook my head as I placed my hand on my chest trying to fight the pain away, "Is this how you feel all the time?". My voice cracked as the tears came.

She nodded once not looking at me.

"H-How long will this last on me?".

"A few more seconds, now you know why I didn't want you to do it, no one should have to feel what I feel, just take some deep breaths then you will feel alright".

I closed my eyes and took a few deeps breaths. After a few seconds everything I was feeling began to slowly fade until it had completely vanished. I took another deep breath as I leaned my head back.
