Damons face looks hurt. He must have heard what I said. I look at him with apologetic eyes but he turns away from me. He knows I'm going to get in trouble for leaving class to be with a boy in the janitors closet and yet still doesn't have the nerve to look me in the face. Damon didn't have to rat me out just because he's mad at me for not listening to him, that's so childish!
~~~~~after school~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got detention for the first time in my life for lying to a teacher and sneaking out of class to met with a boy but jokes on Damon because I got detention with Zack.
" What do you mean by complicated?" I ask picking up the conversation from where we left off hours ago.
" Casey just forget I said anything ok? Please." he replies with sincerity in his eyes. Normally I wouldn't care and I would keep shooting questions out of my ass but the tone in his voice sent shivers down my spine. Its like he wants to tell me something but something is stopping him. Or someone...maybe IM just thinking too much about this.
" Okay whatever you say" I roll my eyes trying to play it off cool.
" Thank you" he breathes out and at that point I realize he was holding his breath while I was contimplating my response. As if his next move depending on what I said could really mess things up. I think IM thinking too much into this. I turn my head toward the book I brought and began to read trying not to think about anything but Bella and Edward. I've read the Twilight series about eight times and never get tired of it. Im trying to memorize every word to recite like people do with the bible. Now that I think about it, that sounds really strange...It's just the romance between them that really gets me. Even though he's a vampire that could give into his desire need for blood at any moment she chooses to stay with him because she trusts him and knows he would never hurt her...well not physically anyway. Emotionally he does that throughout all the books but I guess that's what boys do best. I roll my eyes at my thoughts, this is why I don't want to date.
"What if someone told you something that could completely change your thinking on life? What if it was something so important that if they dont tell you, you could get hurt but telling you might put you in even more danger? How would you respond? What would you want them to do? Especially since all they want to do is protect you" Zack speaks with a quiet voice, not gaining the attention of the teacher in the room. I dont know where all these questions came from or why he even asked knowing I'm going to catch on and know the" someone" is him.
"Zack we just met not even 10 hours ago. These question sound crazy and honestly if you were talking to anyone else THEY would think you're crazy..." I see his head drop as I put my book down to fully look at him," But considering as IM not anyone else I would tell you that maybe changing my thought on life is a good thing, and if either way I'll be in danger, I might aswell know what danger I'll be fighting against so I can help whoever I can. I will respond however I see fit for the situation and I would tell them to just tell me because I dont need protecting and IM tired of everyone thinking I do" I respond having my mind drift to my father. He should have just told me when he found out but instead I had to do my own investigation and find everything out on my own, along with keeping up my grades and trying not to freak Damon out with the truth. I realize that Zack's face looks shocked but there's something else in his eyes... Lust?
" Zack?" I asked confused. I don't know why he's looking at me like that or why my heart is beating so fast but its a rush and I kind of like it. I notice a smile appears on my face causing Zack to smirk.
" So much for not wanting a boyfriend huh?" he questions still smirking. I think something in me really wanted him to ask that again but part of me wants to know what he wanted to tell. I can't bring it up again thought because it will ruin the moment... Our moment.
Wait... I JUST MET HIM! OML
" Caseeeey" I hear an unfamiliar voice
" oh no" I respond under my breath
" Casey please" it calls to me.
" I dont want to do this again" I respond in barely a whisper.
" Casey... Please". Its not calling anymore... Its.. Its begging.
" Excuse me, Mr.Handsen, May I use the bathroom please its an emergency" I asked politely
" Mrs.Musgrove you know its against our detention policy but since you're a good student I trust you. You may go." he answered
" Thank you Mr.Handsen" I quickly add before walking out of the room getting a confused look from Zack. I jog to the bathroom to get privacy. As I check the bathroom and lock the door I feel a presence. I stop fighting and open my mind so when I turn around I see a lady. It never scares me anymore, even though its clear she died of craniocerebral trauma/ a violent blow to the head. There's no blood of course because she's dead but I can sense it and her death was brutal. She was murdered. She'll start off with the same questions as everyone else who doesn't understand the process.
" Casey can you help me? Can you see me?" she questions waving a hand in my face.
" Yes and Yes Catherine how can I help you crossover? And I hope you know I stopped doing this for a reason" I respond annoyed. I know its not her fault I just dont like talking to dead people its weird and I blocked it for a reason.
" I know, IM sorry its just, no one else can see me and I dont know where to go, I know you can see both sides because you're the portal everyone over here talks about but that's besides the point. Casey I need you to help the police find my muderer-"
" wait, WHAT?! ARE YOU INSANE? what am I supposed to tell them? Oh yea the murder victim came to me in my school bathroom and told me everything so dont worry IM telling the truth... Oh how can I see her? Oh well I can talk to the dead, its my gift! THEY'LL LOCK ME UP IN AN ASYLUM!" I interrupt, yell- whispering at her.
" Casey I'm dead, not stupid I know a way you can do this without seeming crazy or a suspect but you have to trust me"
I dont know who I can trust anymore especially someone who's dead...
