Flashback
"Two choices; either you leave this apartment, or you got yourself a new roomie"
After this mornings incident, you both decided to look into this situation when you're both fully awake.
And by that you meant you trying to sleep with him watching you, apparently 'ghosts' don't sleep they're always awake.
You've finally managed to sleep couple of minutes later, but again. It was rudely interrupted.
It is now 2 PM
He opens the door, roughly
Making you shoot up in fear
"Oh goody! You're up" he smiles, walking over to your bed.
You groan, covering your face with a pillow.
"What time is it?"
You ask, tiredly.
"Do I look like the time teller to you? Just get up already"
He says, nudging you and grabbing the pillow from your face throwing it across the room.
"I'm upppp"
You said, finally sitting up.
"Go get ready. I'll be waiting outside"
He said, walking out through the door.
"I'll never get used to this"
You mumble, walking to the bathroom.
You've decided to take a shower, which was an awful idea considering you live with a GHOST.
He popped inside, which resulted in you screaming for him to leave, him turning the water cold on you in the shower, or even really hot water.
You get dressed really quick, afraid that he'll walk in on you naked.
You fix your hair, drying it and pulling it up in a ponytail before applying your makeup.
You walk out to see an annoyed ghost, looking at you with a stern look on his face.
"What?" You asked
"If I weren't dead already, I'd be dead by now."
He said, crossing his arms.
You roll your eyes
"Whatever"
You grab a snack from the kitchen, plopping down on the sofa turning on the T.V
"Um what do you think you're doing?"
He says, standing in front of you
"Trying to watch T.V can you move?"
You look up at him, him not looking quite amused.
You sigh, turning it off.
"Fine."
Setting your feet on the table, looking up at him.
"Thank you" he says, now tapping his chin.
"Now what do you think is the problem that's not letting me go to heaven?"
He asks, walking back and forth.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? I don't know anything about you! Hell I don't even know your name. Maybe you owe people money or something?"
You said, annoyed.
He stops to think
"Oh yea. Forgot to introduce myself.
My names Ethan, you may already know I was the previous owner of this apartment. I died here two weeks ago."
He says, sitting on the coffee table.
"Y/N"
"Nice to meet ya. Now that we know each other a tad bit. Let's get back to my situation"
He says, standing up again.
"Oo! I might have an idea."
You said, sitting straight up. He looks at you waiting to hear what you have to say.
"I saw it in a movie once. Ghosts don't go where they're supposed to because they've got unfinished business here in earth."
You said, and he rolls his eyes.
"I don't think that's the case, I've been an angel to everyone I know"
He says, batting his lashes.
You laugh "yea right. I completely doubt that"
He huffs, sitting back down.
"Who've you been an ass to the most?" You ask and he taps his chin.
"Well I guess..I was kind of shitty to my twin brother..and my old neighbor.."
He confessed
"Great so in order for you to go to heaven..or wherever you're bound to go to. You have to fix your relations with your twin brother and old neighbor. You know where they live?"
You ask him, already standing up, putting on your shoes.
"My neighbor is next door..and duh of course I know where my twin brother lives"
He says, in an obvious tone.
You roll your eyes.
"Let's start with your neighbor then"
~~~
"That's the one."
He says, pointing at the door in front of you
You knock on the door and wait for a response.
Nothing, you knock again and again.
Ethan peaks his head through the door
"What the hell are you doing?"
"No ones home." He says, casually.
"What?"
You ask, and he walks through the door this time.
"Found something!" Ethan yells, suddenly you hear a dog barking inside.
That's when Ethan finally comes back out, a scared expression on his face.
Unfolding the paper in front of you
"What is this?"
You ask, grabbing the paper.
"Apparently he has this event to go to. Maybe we can go and talk to him there."
He says, looking back at the paper for a location.
"I know where this place is! Let's go" he says, already running away.
"Wait for me!"
You run after him.
Two people walking by look at you weirdly, seeing you talking to no one.
~~~
"So what's the plan?" You ask, looking around the crowd of people.
"Look for him."
"Well atleast tell me what he looks like or his name for the very least"
"His name is Aaron, he looks like he's in his mid thirties, he's tall, skinny, kinda looks like a toothpick" he says, and you couldn't help but laugh.
People started to stare at you, giving you the same look like those two people back at the apartment.
Ethan laughs at your current state, and you glare at him.
"Just keep looking around"
You mumble.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please."
People started to quiet down, looking at the stage.
"Thank you all for supporting our wonderful Campaign this year, it is truly an honor to have one of our best supporters here today to say a few words about our campaign today, Aaron Alfaro!" The announcer says, clapping. Everyone starts to join in, welcoming Aaron on stage.
"Is that him?" you whispered to Ethan, clapping along.
"Yea" Ethan says, looking at him.
"Damn he's hot" you blurt out, and Ethan glares at you.
"Too bad, he has a girlfriend"
He says, and you roll your eyes smiling.
~~~
After his speech, you walk over to him, seeing him talking to a couple of guys.
"Hey." You smile
Aaron turns around before turning back to the guys "'excuse me"
He turns back to you and smiles, warmly
"Hello"
"I-I just wanted to say that you did awesome there. I mean on stage-Y-your speech was great. I really liked it"
You ramble out nervously and he chuckles looking down.
"Smooth, Y/N"
Ethan comments, looking at you embarrassing yourself.
"Thank you, I'm glad you liked it."
He says, looking at you and you smile
"I don't believe we've met. I'm Aaron"
"Y/N" extending your hand out to shake his hand.
He grabs your hand gently in his, kissing the back of your hand "Beautiful name"
He says, and you blush.
Ethan rolls his eyes, crossing his arms.
"Oh uh, thanks. I-uh actually came here to ask you about someone?"
Nervously playing with your bracelet.
"I'd be happy to help" he says, smiling.
"Do you remember a guy named Ethan by any chance?"
You asked, and he thinks for a min before answering
"Oh yes, my old neighbor."
He nods, and Ethan looks at you in a innocent way "see? The guy rememberers me. I must've been alright if he remembers me-" before Ethan can finish, Aaron continues
"He was a real dick, pardon my language"
He says, and you couldn't help but chuckle, seeing Ethan's face was priceless.
"Y-yea I've heard. I know he might've been a real ass sometimes to people, maybe his entire life but he's actually somewhat a decent guy"
You say, honestly.
"How did you know him?"
Aaron asked
"Oh I'm his cousin..I used to visit him every now and then, and he told me about your event today, told me you were pretty good at these things"
You lied
"Good one" Ethan says.
"Really? That's weird, I guess I might've judged him based on his actions instead of him completely." Aaron stated, thinking about everything that had happened between the two of them.
"H-he also told me that you were struggling to find people to help you with the entire event, and the looks of it, you don't really have a lot of helpers around here"
You said, looking around.
"I am actually, I've been trying to find someone to help me with the welcoming gift bags there."
He said, pointing at the bags over there.
"I'd be happy to help!"
You said, smiling.
"Really? I don't want to bother you. You go have a good time"
He said, looking at you with a small smile on his face.
"No really I insist! It's why I'm here after all"
You smile, already about to walk over to the bags.
"Oh well okay since you want to, but please let me know if you change your mind."
He says and you nod walking away.
"I'm cringing so hard right now"
Ethan states, dramatically shaking in a disgusted way.
You roll your eyes, handing out the bags and thanking people for coming.
~
After the event was over, you sigh in relief smiling to yourself, although you did have one bag left.
"Good job" Ethan says, resting on the table.
"Thanks" you reply.
You turn and see Aaron walking over to you, smiling.
"Thank you so much, Y/N I really can't thank you enough"
He says hugging you.
You hug back, nervously.
He smiles down at you and you blush at how close he is.
"Don't thank me, thank Ethan if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here right now"
"If only I could I would most certainly thank him for bringing down the prettiest girl here"
He said, smiling.
You blush and look down at the floor.
He gets a call and he sighs, looking back at you.
"I better get going, it was truly a pleasure of meeting you Y/N"
"Just give him the bag already"
Ethan picks up the bag, Aaron looks at the now flying bag confused, you quickly grab it and hand it to Aaron
"Best for last"
He laughs taking it from you before thanking you and walking away
Ethan sighs, rolling his eyes
"What a flirt"
You turn and look at him raising an eyebrow.
"Why are you pissed all of a sudden? He forgave you" you pointed out.
"Whatever. let's go" he says already walking towards the exit and you follow behind.
