He finally sat down on the couch and I did too." So, I'm the only one on this planet that can see you?" "So far, yes. I said quietly. " Why though? Why me?" he looked up at me and asked. "Anyone would ask that if they were given this ability. And I would have the same question for all of them. I don't know." I gave him the best answer I could.
"Well," he sighed, " if I'm the only one who can see ypu, I guess you need a place to stay?" " Not really, I can sleep, but I don't need to. And I can't eat anything. I'm a ghost, so I'm practically nothing." I said while looking around Alexander's apartment. "Well, you aren't nothing to me. You can stay here, but I get the bed; being that you don't need sleep. I, on the other hand, do need it." I smiled," thank you." I said while looking at the clock. It read 5:30 in the afternoon and the sun started to go down. " So, Alexander," "call me Alex." He interrupted. "Oh. So, Alex, will you help me?" I looked into his eyes. He returned the gaze and said," yes."
We used a computer to look up my name. unfortunately, I didn't know my last name. We found something after a few hours of searching. "Look here," he said without emotion," there is an article on a girl in a deadly car crash." He opened the link and read the article out loud. "A girl was killed in a deadly car crash on June 8, 2012. Her and her mother were on their way to to drop young 22 year old Deejay Peterson of for her first day of her 3rd year of college. A semi truck t-boned there small Grand Prix and Deejay shot out of the front window, instantly killing her..." We sat in silence for a while until I broke it. " I was a college student. Does it say where or why? And my mother, is she ok?" I asked with a cracking voice. "It doesn't say." he replied while looking at me. "Oh, ok. Well it's late, don't you need sleep?" I said disappointed. "Ya. I do need to get to bed, it's 11:00." He stood up and retrieved a blanket from a nearby closet and a pillow and set it in the couch. "Here, since this is still a strange place, you can have the bed again tonight." "Thank you." I said as a stood up and walked into the room I awoke in.
