This is the end of me.
I died on the way home from hospital after I gave birth to Jesse, but I didn't cross over properly and now I'm a ghost. I took the place of my body, and no one noticed. I have been living with them since then.
I have to go into hiding.
I went to our house, left a note and packed my things.
I took some money and left.
I'm moving to Thunder Bay.
Cas lives there. One of my best friends.
He will understand. Besides, he knows about the 'accident'.
The Athame will be flipping about the place. Everywhere.
I grab my cell and call Cas. His mother moved into a different house for her candle store. It's closer to Morfrans store, too.
"Hey. Wassup?" Cas asked.
"Is it okay if I come and stay with you for a bit?" I asked.
"Yeah sure! Your on your way I'm guessing?" He asked.
"Yup." I replied.
"Are the kids with you, or Gale. Who's with you?" He asked.
"Strangers at the moment because I'm on public transport. But it's just me." I sighed.
"They found out, didn't they?" Cas asked.
"Yeah..." I replied.
"Ok. I gotta go right now but ill see you in bit, k? Bye."
"Bye" we hung up our phones.
I get to Cas's and knock on the door.
He opens the door looking fantastic, as usual.
"Hey." I said.
"It's good to see you again. Come in!" He replied standing so I could go inside.
I went in and looked around. It hasn't changed.
"Where's Gale? What's happening with him?" Case asked.
"The kids found out. So did the whole town. Gale already knew but we got into an argument. I walked away but later on he said he wanted a divorce. I'm not sure if he was serious but if he was, the papers will come in the mail." I replied.
We walked into the living room and sat down.
"My mother lifted the curse on the house the other day. Not the one that keeps ghosts out but the other one. I can't remember what it was but it came with the house." Cas said.
"That's awesome!" I replied.
Then someone knocked on the door.
Cas got up and opened it.
He welcomed two people in.
Thomas Savin and Carmel Jones. They know about me being dead too.
"Hi!" They both said.
"Hi!" I replied.
"They found out?" Carmel questioned. I nodded.
"And Gale said he wants a divorce. He already knew but we got into an argument." I said.
"Really?" I nodded.
Everyone sat down and I explained everything.
