You're just a figment of my imagination

-Chapter 3.-

Wow,there are more people out in the streets than I remember..especially at this time of hour..is that..no no its no it can't! Can it..?

The walk to the park was peaceful but tears were still streaming down my face. I wanted to give up i wanted to throw everything away..I was being overly dramatic again..even though I knew there HAD to be a reason behind it all.

I pushed my hair back the night was chilly and i felt stupid for not bringing jacket. i rubbed my goosed bumped arms. Man was I cold, I kept walking and avoided bumping into people. I kept walking till I ended up at an old abandoned gazebo I could tell it once white the paint was peeling off, and the floors were old and creaky. On the floor it was still littered with confetti and small broken light bulbs as if a party had once taken place in it.

"Wow.." I managed to say, amazed by the place. I closed my eyes trying to imagine the gazebo before, when it was new and it had fresh paint and new floors. I imagined the party that had once taken place here and the people in it, I smiled at the thought. I was lost in my imagination when a cold hand touched my shoulder.

I jumped and turned around quickly. "JESUS CHRIST YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" I screamed at him holding my chest feeling as though if I removed my hand from that spot, my heart would burst out of my chest.

"oh I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you.." I breathed heavily, "what are you doing here?" I questioned him even though I had no clue who this boy was. "Well..I usually come here to look at the view, its where I go to calm down" he tells me, I nod and look at the water. He stands next to me and then theres silence between us.

"How come you're the only that can see me?" He asked me breaking the silence between us. "what do you mean?" he paused and looked at his hands.

"my family's been avoiding me ever since I got home about 3 days ago..and so has everyone at my job, my friends..everyone! except you." I turned my head and looked at him. I wanted to tell him that the same thing was happening to me but I just froze I couldn't muster out the words from my mouth.

"what?" he questioned me, "you think I'm crazy don't you..it's okay everyone does.." he told me and then started walking off. I grabbed his arm and looked at him "No." was all I managed to tell him. "you don't talk much do you?" He asks me while I stand there trying to respond. Why. Cant. I. TALK??! I examined the boy closely, there was nothing special about him just his piercing blue eyes. "Ryan" He tells me, I realize that I'm still holding his wrist so I quickly let go "Clara" I say words finally coming out of my mouth "thats a pretty name" he tells me. I smiled at him "thanks." He smiled back "ah so Miss Clara CAN speak!" I playfully punch his arm. "oh shut up" something about Ryan made me feel better, made me feel more like myself.

"Going back to that whole 'people not noticing me' thing...I just wanted to say that my family's been ignoring me too...well except my little sister..she saw me but the look on her face.." My mind drifted away as I remembered Maddi's face, it was filled with awe and confusion but why would she be confused? I was brought back to reality with Ryan's snapping.

"Earth to Clara!" "huh? sorry what?" He rolled his eyes "you need to start paying attention" "I'm sorry.." I apologize "I've been out of it all day.." he smiled at me "it's okay i understand." I gave him a reassuring smile. "Oh and why does everyone think you're crazy? You don't seem crazy."

He sighed and looked at me. "well before this happened i kept seeing this figure chasing after me..and he would haunt my dreams too! I was scared for my life and then one day everything just stopped. I didn't know whether to be happy about it or worried..and that's when this whole crap started." I was going to say something but i saw it..the figure..I ran to the other side of the balcony the side facing the water and squinted my eyes.

It was..Him.
