Star crossed lovers

Chapter Three

I came back to reality, I cried silently, mourning the death of my cousin, a few hours later, I'd calmed down, I resisted the urge to self-harm, I thought about Eric, but that only fueled the urge to self-harm, I slowly walked over to where I had  the razor blades hidden, I only stopped when I noticed the time it was.

‘Crap, it's 4:00 pm, Steph's gonna have my head if she finds out that I started self-harming again’ I thought as I picked up a razor blade, “Don’t do it, my little Vixen” a voice said behind me, I froze, ‘there’s only one that called me little Vixen, but that's impossible, he's dead, maybe it's just my imagination’ I thought to myself.

I slowly turned around, I saw my cousin, well he looked like a ghost, “E-Eric” I stuttered, “you're dead, I was there when you passed away” I whispered, pain and sadness evident in my voice and my eyes.

“I came back as a ghost last week after I realised that my death caused you so much pain, I couldn't bare seeing you harm yourself” Eric said softly as he slowly took the razor blade from my hand and through it in the bin, then he hugged me gently as I cried freely.

“I’ll always be with you, my little Vixen, shhh, it's OK, I'm here” Eric murmured softly as he stroked my hair soothingly, it felt relaxing, “only five other people can see me, your friend Steph, Ace, Gene, Paul and Peter” Eric said as he looked down at me, I smiled.

“Let’s get you ready for the concert” Eric said as her got my makeup bag

An hour and 30 minutes later, Eric finished, “you look just like me, in the make up” Eric said, I smiled at my cousin, I held back the tears, “i missed you cousin” I said, “missed you to” Eric said as he hugged me tightly.

At half five Steph knocked on the door, I grabbed my keys and waved to my cousin and ran out of my room, and downstairs, I opened the front door to see Steph in Catman makeup, typical, Steph has a crush on Peter, then again, I have a crush on Ace.

“Let’s go CatGirl” I said locking the door behind me, “i can't wait Vixen”  Steph said we got into her car, we set off, we listened to the Creatures of the Night album.
