Dying

Chapter 2

It has been a year from my death and I'm still devastated.

I didn't know Dan was cheating on me.

Now here I am, wandering around the earth as a ghost. Most of the time I'm around Dan, sitting next to him as he makes videos. I missed making videos. I missed being with Dan.

Then there's Louise, who I thought was my friend. Sometimes Dan makes videos with her and flirts a lot. The entire phandom knows about their relationship. They seem to support them.

I wanna hate Dan, but I can't. My love for him is too much that I can't get mad at him.

Right now I'm in my room, chilling on my bed. I look at all my things and they all seem so dull. Suddenly the door opens and it surprises me.

"Dan! Can I have my privacy?" I say. Oh, wait. He can't hear me. Nor see me.

I sigh. Dan enters the room, dressed in - wait, is that my T-shirt?

"Phil, are you here?" He says, looking around my room.

"Yes!" I say.

"If you are here Phil," He takes a deep breath. "I - I'm -"

"Dan!" Louise shouts from downstairs. I'm very close to Dan, almost touching his lips.

His face lights up. "I have to go."

The room that once seemed full of life when Dan entered was gone. I run a hand through my hair. "Daniel James Howell," I mutter.

I go downstairs to see Dan and Louise (ugh, that sounds disgusting) filming a video.

"Hello Sprinklerinos! Today we have a special guest, Danisnotonfire! A.K.A, my boyfriend!" Louise says.

I cringe at boyfriend. He's mine. I think.

"Hello!" Dan smiles, waving at the camera. God, do I miss that smile.

"Today will be a different kind of video." Louise says.

"Ooooh, scary." Dan butts in and they both laugh. Ugh.

"Today, we are going to be trying the ouija board."

Dan's eyes widen. "I did not sign up for this!"

"Well, no backing out now." Louise says.

Louise pulls out an ouija board out of her bag and Dan starts swearing.

I sit next to Dan and hold him, telling it'll be okay.

Obviously, it didn't work.

"Is anyone there?" Louise says.

I grab hold of the planchette and move it to yes.

Both of them are shocked.

"A - Are you moving it?" They say in unison.

"No." They say, still in unison.

"W - What's your name?" Louise asks.

I don't what to reveal my identity to Louise, only Dan. If only - wait.

I move it to R.

Then I.

C.

K.

Y.

"Ricky?" Dan asks, as a sense of familiarity go through him.

"Apparently so." Louise says. "What's your last name?"

B.

L.

I.

T.

Z.

"R- Ricky Blitz?" Louise asks, dumbfounded.

Dan's eyes widen. He's silent. "Phil." I hear him mutter. He grabs hold of the planchette and almost pushes Louise's finger off.

"Are you okay?" Dan asks frantically.

I'm perfectly fine.

Dan lights up while Louise is dumbfounded.

"How'd you die?" Louise asks.

I got paralyzed and died on arrival because I got hit by a car.

Dan has the biggest smile on his face and he instantly gets it. When I got paralyzed, Dan told me that if I died, we would tell the public that story and not the truth.

"Are you in heaven or hell?" Louise asks.

I'm not there yet. Still roaming the earth. Wish I was a robot though.

Dan chuckles and Louise seems terrified. "Goodbye," She says quickly. She throws the board onto the ground. Dan's eyebrows furrow.

"Why'd you do that?" Dan asks, making it come out a little harsh.

"I didn't know what to do! It was scary." Louise turns to Dan and he sees that Louise's eyes are filled with tears.

"Hey, hey. It's okay." Dan rushes to comfort her. I look away.

If Louise posts it, I'm toast. The phandom will know the references, of course.

"I'm not posting that." Louise says, between sobs.

"I think that's best," Dan says.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

So, as you may have guessed, this chapter was in Phil's P.O.V.

Also I know that's very unlikely of Louise to even touch an ouija board, but please stick with it.

*Also please tell me if I have any grammar or spelling mistakes. I want to try and improve this book.
