"How?"

__________________________

"Can you come out so we can talk about this?"

"No go away your not real" I said covering my ears
"And besides it's not like you can't come in when you want"

"Ok. I'm  sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he voice was quiet

I had locked myself in my bathroom and I was sat on the cold floor. I didn't know what to believe. I was surely going insane. I just had to sleep it off and he'd be gone. This is all some crazy dream.

"Can we just talk?" His voice was barely audible

I though about it for a minute. It couldn't hurt to talk. But what if he's an evil ghost and he's here to possess your body.
Wtf.
My brain was wild af
No what if he's good and your in here saying he's not real. Ok stop being a coward and talk to the boy. Ok damn fine.

I stood up slowly.

"I'm coming out now, so don't try anything"  I heard a small chuckle

I unlocked the door and looked around.

He was sat on my bed.

"Your a ghost, so does that mean your dead?"  I asked

"Your very straight forward aren't you" he said giving me a small smile

"I have the right to be"

I was pacing up and down my room.

"So are you?" I asked

"I actually don't know" he finally said, looking at me making eye contact

"What's your name?"

"Ethan"

I finally took a seat next to him on my bed. My breathing had slowed down and I was quiet calm.
I don't understand this. I could feel his presence and his warmth next to me, as with everyone else. I watched as his chest rises and fell as he breathed. He had a muscular body, like he worked out every now and then. Well not anymore I assume. I hadn't examined his face fully and now was my chance.

His black hair was messy and his skin was quiet tan. He was- holy shit
He was actually hot . I guess I hadn't noticed because I was running from him. He looked like the kind of guy girls would chase after and now run away from. His jawline was perfectly sculpted and he had a freckle on his cheek and one by his eye.

"I don't really remember anything" he said breaking the silence

"So how did you get here then?"

"I was here before you came. All I remember is I woke up not knowing a thing and that I was here and I haven't left since. I've tried leaving, but I just reappeared here again"

"Do you think you lived here with your family?"

"Not that I remember them" he looked away, but then he faced me again

"But you" he said putting his hands on my shoulder, startling me causing my body to tense up.
"Your the first person who's ever seen me and I can't thank you enough"

"Umm, your welcome" I said awkwardly

He took his hands of me and lowered his head
"Sorry, I didn't mean to give you a scare or come off too strong"
