Hey I'm Lucas and I'm 16 years of age
And I am ready to read the words on this page
Um.. Let's begin where it starts
A little after my father died when I was 10 is where it marks
My mom met this guy named Jeff and he was ok at first
Until bills started to stack up then he got worst
Every day they would get in a fight
And he would yell and scream at my mom all night
I'd squeeze the pillow over my head
And try to sleep scared and afraid in bed
Until one day the stress took my mom
The pain of it felt like I was blown away by a bomb
I sat there next to Jeff as my mother layed there in her casket
We watched nice people put donations to us in a basket
As I went to see my mother one last time
I saw her standing next to her casket in her prime
I race over and hug her with no clue
That my hands would go right through
People looked me crazy but I didn't care
I could see my mother and knowing she was gone sent this was rare
I stared up at her feeling the love in my heart start to grow
But before I could say anything she said to me "sorry Lucas but mommy must go"
I keep trying to touch her screaming "no mommy don't leave! " everyone was confused because I was yelling next to her casket not at it
She kissed my head smiled at me and off she was heaven sent
At the time I didnt know this was a gift
But later this power to see ones who no longer lived started to shift
I started talking to this guy named Sam he lived in our house years ago
But one day Jeff saw us talking and he saw me letting this power show
Where I saw confusion he saw dollar signs and put an ad in a paper as the Supernatural kid
Just to keep him from yelling and happy I that's what I did
Helped people say goodbye to the people they love and get red of the ones they didnt know
There were some jobs where I saved people from spirits because they weren't ever alive
weather u lived or died from them were up to u to decide
These spirits I called them sixes because they would take ur life energy in six months without a sound
After that time u will just callaps on the ground
They leech onto ur back and sinks their teeth into your skin
Unless u make yourself better you'll never win they only come around when your at your lowest point
Then they take control of your life from your voice to your joints
After a while the business slowed and stopped the money flow
Jeff would get mad everyday and blame me
It's not my fault no one need me to help with what they can't see
After a week of no one calling for me to see
He got so angry he started beating me
This happened for some time and I couldnt make it stop
He got so bad he would get drunk then on the front room floor he would just flop
All the time he tells me how much he regrets being with my mom because he got stuck with a freak
And everyday I saw him become more and more weak
Months later one night I woke from a sound to this day I don't know what is was or who wanted me to hear it
But I looked out my window and I saw a spirit
It was one of the sixes standing kinda distant from the home
I didn't think much of it so I just left it alone
Time kept passing and the six kept getting closer to where we live
Every time I tried to talk to it it never took the words I tried to give
I thought he was coming for me from the strength I started to lack
But 2 weeks later he was latched onto Jeff's back
I thought of warning him because it was the right think to do
But in the back of my mind this thought grew
Why save his life he never did anything for me
If I let the six take him away then I can finally be free
So I didn't tell him I didn't let him know
I just sat back and I watched the show..
