Stuck With You

Ghost

Stephanie's POV

Chris has been trying to avoid my questions about Holly for over a week now, which isn't easy considering I'm pretty much living in his hotel room and he sleeps next to me. Everytime I asks him why she has the same middle and last name as me he tells me its a crazy coincidence. He must think I'm stupid to believe that. He eventually started acting like she didn't exist. Confession: I looked through Chris' phone and computer trying to find anything related to her but even the email about me was gone. She had dissappeared like a ghost.

The hotel isn't so bad. The room has an amazing view and a ginormous plasma screen. I could write and draw all day, delicious food is only a room service call away and I have enough clothes to last a year. The best part is I'm going to be half a million richer by New Years for siting around and doing nothing. The only bad thing is the windows of the room don't open so I haven't had any fresh air, there's no food in the fridge so I can't cook,  and i haven't had human contact since Chris is always at night clubs or the studio. We've learned to deal with each other and have been getting along better.

It was one in the afternoon and Chris wasn't back from his party from last night yet. I sat on the couch paying half mind to the tv and sketching a dress. Suddenly the hotel room door swung open behind me.

Chris: HONEY, IM HOME!

I rolled my eyes at 'honey' and got up from the couch,  hiding my sketch pad under the cushion. I turned around to see Chris holding 5 bags filled with food and a dozen roses.

Me: Yum, special occasion?

He handed me the roses and put the bags on the kitchen table.

Chris: Actually yes, I figured you could make me some spaghetti and strawberry cheesecake as a thank you. I'm going to a concert tonight and you're coming with me.

Me: What? How?

Chris: Don't worry sneaking you out of the hotel should be easy since no one knows I'm going out. And at the concert we'll be with a big group of people, so no attention will be drawn to you. I got us a box, so then its just the two of us.

Chris leaned forward and kissed me then went to the bathroom. I stood in a bit of shook, I didn't even ask whose concert it was.

I made all the food and sat at the table twirling my spaghetti. Chris came out of his bedroom and sat down across from me. We were quiet for a minute or two, eating, I couldn't decide how to talk about the kiss.

Me: So umm...

Chris looked up at me with spegehti coming out of his mouth. He was so cute.

Me: So umm... whose concert are we going to?

Chris: its a surprise,  just trust me you'll like it and we won't be back till late so drink some coffee or something.

He scarfed down the last of his cheesecake before I was even done with my spaghetti then got up.

Chris: "Ill be right back,  Holly picked out your dress and sent it from Cali. I have to go pick it up just incase she decides to hand deliver it. I'll pick you up in a limo in an hour. Bye, love you".

Chris paused at the doorway for a moment before, just as surprised as his words as I was, then rushed out... did he just say I love you? & that the other Holly Woods might be coming? I thought about following him, for a second to see her, but I didn't have a car to follow him where ever he was going or money to pay for a cab.

I shot up from my seat to do my makeup and hair. I started to clean to clear my mind.

Chris brought me flowers, kissed me, then I made him dinner, and he said... the L word. Now he bought me a dress to go on a date... was it a date? Are we dating?

What am I thinking? That's ridiculous. I think I would know when I was dating someone. Wouldn't I? I laid on the couch & starred at the ceiling for a bit before I heard a knock on the door. I'm not supposed to answer the door because no one is supposed to know im here but my mind kept thinking about the possibility that Holly was in town.

I got up and looked through the peephole, the hallway looked clear. I opened the door to look down the hallway when a small 17 year old girl pushed her way in. Holly.

Holly: Where the hell is Chris?

She pushed past me and looked around with out even looking at me.

Me: He went to get my dress, from you, I thought.

She stood perfectly still, facing away from me. There was a tense silent moment before she took a deep breathe then turned her head to face me.

Holly: Me? He getting a dress from me? Who exactly am I?

Confused, I just stared at her. She looked crazy.

Holly: Say my name.

Me: Holly, Holly Woods isn't it?

Holly: is that what Chris told you?

Me: No I... I over heard it.

Holly: Well then I guess you have a urge to ask questions about our names then.

Me: Yes, actually. I wanted to know-

Holly: Fight it.

Holly got closer to me and I didn't say a word. She was very intimating even though she was younger. In her eyes you could see she had gone through a lot. She was hardened and wise beyond her years.

Holly: I know how you are. It's how we all are. Dedicated and hard headed with the urge to know everything and be ahead of everyone. We're sneaky and dangerous but smart. Now I want you to be smart and listen to me when I tell you looking for me is a bad idea. Fight that urge to ask questions and that urge to know.

Holly gave me a kiss on the cheek then I felt nothing.

Holly: I'm so sorry, sister.

My body went numb and I saw myself fall to the floor. Holly looked down at me calmy and my vision blurred to darkness.
