(19) There's This Guy. He Lives In My Room. Oh, Yeah, And He's A Ghost.

Heyyy!!!

I just want to thank everyone for reading, commenting and voting for my story!!!

It really does mean the world to me!!!

Okay, I'm going to ask something.

Would you prefer it if I posted 1 long chapter every 2-3 days, or a shorter one (or maybe even 2) everyday?

Please let me know.

Thanks!!!

There's This Guy. He Lives In My Room. Oh, Yeah, And He's A Ghost.

Chapter 19.

Taylor's POV.

After I say that, Miles doesn't write anything for quite a while.

I look around, confused. "Miles?" I say, thinking he's gone.

When he finally replies, he writes quickly, in fast scrawls that I can barely make out.

'You can't say that, Taylor,' it says.

"Why not?" I ask.

This time I see the scrawls as angriness. 'Because you're going out with my brother, that's why!'

"But... you know that if you were alive I would be with you, not him. I do love Finn, but not in that way, not in the way that I love you. I'm sorry, but it's the truth, and I can't change it."

Now he's definitely angry. 'But I AM dead, Taylor, so you CAN'T HAVE ME!'

I can't stop the tears coming out my eyes.

There's a pause, and then I feel a tingling kiss on my cheek, and then the tingling feeling spreads all along my body, as if I'm being hugged.

After a few minutes, the feeling disappears, and he starts writing in a new patch of dust.

'I'm sorry, Taylor, I really am. I love you too, but we can't be together, and I'm sorry for that.'

I nod slowly, and I sit in silence.

After a while, my attention is brought back to the ground, and he starts writing again.

'We gotta go back to Finn,' it says. 'He'll be worried, and I need to talk to you both together. Urgently.'

I nod again, and get up, immediately head in the direction of home.

When I open my front door, Finn is still there, pacing around, restless.

When he see's me, he leans forward, grabs me, and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Where were you?!" He says. "I was so worried. Are you okay?"

I nod. "I'm sorry. I just... needed some air. Sorry for running out like that."

I know that this is my que to kiss him, but I don't feel up to pretending right now, especially when Miles is here.

Speaking of Miles...

"Finn," I say, seriously. "Come upstairs. I need to talk to you. We need to talk to you. Urgently."

I nods, and I follow him upstairs.

But when we reach the door to my room, he pauses, as if something has only just occurred to him.

"Wait," He says. "WE have something to say to you? We?"

He looks around, as if expecting someone to appear randomly.

"Yes, we." I pause, taking a deep breath. "Look, you have to listen, okay?"

When he confirms that he will, I continue. "It's Miles."

He freezes. "What about him?"

"He's back."

"What do you mean, he's back?" He explodes, but I can tell he's only getting mad because he doesn't know what else to do.

I shrug. "Like I said, he's back. I don't know why. I can't see him, either."

He's confused. "But... If you can't see him, then how do you know he's here?"

"I just do," I tell him. "Here."

I go over to my desk, and turn on my laptop.

While it's loading, I turn to Finn. "He's back for a reason, I know it."

"What is the reason?" Finn asks.

"I asked, but he said that he has to tell us together." I pause. "And here we are."

The computer finally loads up, and I open up a Word document.

"Miles?" I say. "You can tell us on here."

My purple swivel chair moves slightly, and then the computer keys are moving.

'Hey, Finn.' It says.

"Whoa," Finn answers.

'How you doing?' Miles asks.

"Apart from missing you? Great, actually." Finn wraps an arm round my waist and pulls me closer, as if he's trying to empathise his point.

I'm starting to get impatient, and annoyed. "Enough of that," I say. "What's this big thing you've got to talk to us about?"

'Well...' Miles Starts.

~~~

I tried to make it a bit longer.

Please answer my question that I asked at the beginning of this chapter.

I might put on another chapter a bit later, as I've done all my homework, and I have nothing else to do!!!
