The Girl in the Basement (Toby Turner Fanfic)

Right There

*Toby's P.O.V*

I woke up the next morning groggy and with a headache. Whatever I saw yesterday must've been my imagination. I was just tired from moving and stuff. That's probably what happened.

I sat up and looked at the time. 10:30, it read in bright red, luminous lights. I sighed and got out of bed to get dressed and freshen up. Just as I finished I decided to go down to the Gaming Room to set up.

I hit the bottom of the steps and smiled. It was perfectly displayed and I could just image what was going to go where.

I walked over to a box and started searching through. Finally, I pulled out my speakers and plugged my phone into it. I flipped through my songs and then decided to blast Monster by Imagine Dragons. The wondrous music pumped through the speakers and I got to work on my Gaming Room.

I placed my desk in the right corner and set up my computer, camera, and a couple of my other equipment.  The next thing that went up was my dry erase board and some cabinets. After it was all set I turned and looked at it, then smiled.

 "Great! Now I am all set up for my gaming. Now," I turned around a saw a lot of empty space. "Well, I could cut it off and make that my white screening room for TOBUSCUS." I pondered for a moment and then said, to myself of course, "Eh, I'll think about it later. I'm gonna go record some games."

I walked over to my computer and powered it on. I signed in to my account on YouTube and started doing my thing.

*Kaitlin's P.O.V*

He walked over to his computer and powered it on. I looked over his shoulder and saw he logged onto something called, YouTube. I haven't heard about YouTube in years! Last time I did, was when a family moved in her a month after I died, and their 14 year old daughter lived down here. I learned and knew a lot more from her down here. Well, she couldn't hear or see me, but I watched what she did and noted on some things.

Toby started up the camera and just as he started I stepped out of the shot. I watched him record, and he seemed to make me smile. I smiled more than I ever did in years. He kept dying in the game and he made a big deal out of it. He also had many different voices of the characters he was playing.

After he finished recording, I looked over his shoulder once more and saw that he was editing it. I watched as he did so, and then he uploaded it to YouTube.

"Wow, that uploaded faster than I have ever seen it! The internet here is great! Unlike at my old house!" He exclaimed as it was uploaded.

He smiled with approvement and watched the video. Except, right when the video started, you could see me step out of the camera instantly. Toby turned around quickly and stared behind him. I stayed silent and prayed he didn't suspect anything.

He just stared and his expressions changed. It seemed he was looking right at me, like I really was there.

Unfortunately, that moment ended when he shook his head and turned back to his computer. I let out a long sigh and walked over to the other side of the room and sat on an egg chair that had cushions all on it. I snuggled into the chair and closed my eyes.

'I wish I could leave. Leave this room and this life. That's all I want to do. Live or leave. Leave and join my parents in the afterlife.'

I looked up to see the invisible lines on the ceiling. There were five glowing lines there. Each one was like a bond that kept me here.

The first one was for forgiveness. That the leader above would finally forgive me for what I have done. The second one was for love. That a man could see me and hear me. That he could communicate with me and then love me. Fall in love with me by his own will. And I have to love him back. It has to be true love or...nothing.

The third one resembles remorse. I had to be remorseful for what I did. I do, but then I don't. It's really complicated. That's why the blue line is still there. When I accept something, or something happens that resembles one of the lines, they disappear.

Two of the lines have disappeared. Acceptance and....well....I've forgotten the other one. I disappeared on day 3 or being here. You tend to forget over the years.

I sighed and curled up into a ball. Resting my head on my knees I drifted off to sleep.
