Dead hearts Don't beat

Jake
I thought I'd done enough to die, I thought this time it was it, the end. I came around to someone shouting, was this Hell? My eyes opened and I looked around, noticing that my arms were bandaged. I was still in my room, so I was really confused, I was positive that I died, how could I be alive, unless I'm not and I'm a spirit.

My attention turned to this pale girl. She looked shocked as if she'd seen a ghost. Her hair was long and silky black, which made per skin look even paler. She was wearing what seemed to be outdated clothes, I couldn't tell you what they were because I really didn't know. There was a short moment where we both just stared at each other, to say there was a strange girl in my room I wasn't scared, perhaps because she was quite pretty and scary things are not beautiful.
"Urm hello?" I said confused
"Hi" she seemed as confused as I was
"What's going on?"
"To be honest I don't know. You were dead. And now you're not. You couldn't see me. Now you can" this girl was crazy
"So I'm dead, well why am I in my bedroom still? And what do you mean I couldn't see you but now I can? Who are you?"

She didn't reply, just sat back in shock and let out a deep sigh as if she was about to tell me her life story.
"So who are you?" I ask again
"It doesn't matter does it. All you need to know is that you'll be seeing me around here a lot"
"But...hang on" she started to walk away. I ran over to her and stood in front of my door stopping her from getting past.
"You're not going anywhere till you explain what's happening" she smirked at me
"That's what you think" huh, I didn't understand she can't get past, I'm a lot stronger than her, no way could she wrestle past me.

The girl continued walking towards me and didn't stop, this was getting weird, she's going to end up walking right in to me. If we end up kissing or something I'm not going to be happy. I squeezed my eyes shut and held on to the door tight, a few moments past and I opened them again. She was gone! How? I hadn't moved she didn't even touch me. A shiver ran down my spine. I looked around for her, she was no where. Suddenly someone knocked on my door making me jump out of my skin. I opened it and there was the girl standing there smiling at me.
"H...how...?"
"What were you saying?" She said this while simultaneously sinking in to the floor boards.
"What the fuck is happening??"

She disappeared. I was stood there in shock, I think the shock was keeping away the pain from my cuts because it started to come back again. I sighed and peeled away the cloth. Hey this is my shirt, I liked that one. The cuts were tender and still oozed a little blood. I rewrapped my arm tight, I will find out who this girl is.

Raven
Shit. The cat's out of the bag. I couldn't believe it, Jake was alive, I mean actually properly alive and not a ghost. He asked me loads of questions but I wasn't ready for this. He can't know just yet. Well he can but I'm not ready to tell him just yet. I think I need sometime to think things through.
"Who are you?" He asked me again.
I told him it didn't matter because it honestly didn't. He now knows I exist, this is bad. Or is it? I couldn't decide.

I need time to think things through. This is going to change anything. I begin to leave, not saying much to him.
"But...hang on" Jake stood in front of me blocking the door. Stupid boy. Like that's going to stop me.
"You're not going anywhere till you explain what's happening" I smirked at him, knowing full well I can walk straight through both him and the door.
"That's what you think" I chuckled to myself and continued to leave the room, I don't know why but he closed his eyes. I walked straight through him making sure I'd send a shiver down his spine.

I'm sure by now he'd seen I'm not there so I knocked on his door. He opened it and his mouth dropped open.
"H...how...?"
"What were you saying?" I sunk through the floor because it looked cool and dramatic, just the typical Raven way of doing things. I needed to find somewhere to clear my head. You'd think having a hollow head would be empty but trust me there's millions of thoughts in there.

No one went in to the spare room so I guess this will be my room now. At least it'll be a space to decide how to approach this situation. Do I befriend him or do I scare him or do I ignore him or do I avoid him? So many choices. It's late and I should probably get some rest. I've had an eventful day. It's not every day you revive someone from the dead, especially when you're dead yourself.
