"Thank you so much Emily. You really made me a happy ghost"
"You're welcome. That's what I'm here for right?"
I smiled at him and he smiled back. Before I knew it, he was gone. This is what my every day life is like. This is my full time job and i never have a day off. I just got finished helping out a lost ghost. He had a situation with his daughter that he had to clear out. And of course, I helped him. I had no choice but to. He would'vemprobably haunted me if i didn't. But, I'm always happy to help.
Just then, my bestfriend, Skyler, came running up to me calling my name.
"Emily! Emily!"
"Yo....what is it?"
"Do you think you can do me a favor?" she said, trying to catch her breath.
"Ummm, depending on what it is"
"I need you to take something to someone"
I lifted my eyebrow.
"Pleasssee!!"
I lifted both eyebrows
"I promise I will pay you back" she said smiling at me.
"Ughh. Fine. What do you want me to take and who do you want me to give it to"
She sighed and said "Thank you!! I love you so much!!" Then, she gave me a big hug.
"Sure you do" I said sarcastically
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Everyone just loovves Emmy when she says yes"
"Well that's true"
I just looked at her.
"Haha. I'm jk. Now come with me to my house so I can give you the packet."
Then, we walked to her car and we drove to her house.
--------------------------------------------------------
When we got in her house, she gave me the packet she wanted me to deliver.
"And.......what is this" I said, tilting my head to the side.
"Don't worry about it. It's not for you" she said, tapping my nose with her finger on you word 'you'.
"Okay well who does this go to?"
"It beongs to the Parkers on Main St."
"And you couldn't have done this yourself?"
"Noooo...I'm trying to make it somwhere before 5"
"The sale at the store out town, am I correct"
She walked over to the kitched counter and said "Maybe"
I chuckled
"Now take my keys and make the delivery will you" she said tossing me to the keys.
"Fine. I'll see you later" I said walking out the door.
"Bye!! And thanks again" she yelled after me.
I got in her car and drove to the Parker's house.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I pulled up to her house and got out the car. As soon as I got out, I noticed a man in the window. But not a normal man. This man looked like he didn't have a face. It was just all......black. He turned his head towards me. As he did that, eyes began to appear. They were big and hazel. They suddenly got bigger and bigger, which made me jump a little. Then, I blinked once and he was gone. I looked at the window in confusion, then decided to just shake it off.
I walked up to the old house and knocked on the door. After a little while, an old woman opened the door.
"May I help you?" she said in a weary voice.
"Ummm I came to give you a packet a friend told me to deliver".
When I said that, her eyes got wide.
Then she whispered "You're the one"
"Excuse me"
"Did young Skyler send you here?"
"Yes ma'am. Why do you a--"
"You must come in right this instant"
"Ummm okay"
With that being said, she grabbed my arm and pulled me inside, the door closing behind me without anyone touching it. We were soon in a room in the basement with only candles lit and books every where.
"Sit down" she said
I sat down, curious of what's about to happen.
"Were you a friend of Deandre?"
My heart started to pound "Yes. He was one of my best friends but he died a while ago. Why?"
"I'm his grandmother"
"Well, it's nice to meet you but......why am I here?"
"It's kinda complicated. But for some reason I-I feel like he's still here. Skyler told me you knew him very well"
When she said that, I remebered the shadow I saw in the window. 'That was him' I said in my mind. Tears began to form inmy eyes.
"How may I help you?"
"I need you to keep a look out for any.....feeling or what not from. If you don't get any clues that's he's here, then I'll know I'm just imagining things. But if you do, I'll know he's here and I can be happy again."
"Sure thing" I said, my voice crackling.
"I'll give you a week and I need you to come back to me after that week. This a very important task Emily"
How did she know my name? "I promise to let you know"
"Thank you. You may leave now"
I nodded and walked behind her as we made our way to the up the steps.
I went outside and stood at the step in front of her door. A tear came down my cheek as I took out my phone and called Sky. It went straight to voicemail. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket as I walked to the car. I looked up when I was halfway there and stumbled back when I saw it. That same shadow from the window, right in front of me. One name came to mind when I saw it. Deandre. As I stared, The shadow turned into a clear vision of a ghost. And I was right, it was Deandre.
My heart pounded as soon as I saw his face
"What are you doing here? Your ghost isn't suppose to be seen"
"Well, look who misses me" he said sarcastically
"I do miss you. More than anything else" I said, tears streaming down my face.
Then, his shadow started to fade away.
He looked down. Then, he looked at me and whispered "Help....Me"
"Deandre, wait!!!" Iyelled.
But it was too late. He was gone.
I looked at the house, then to the ground an dmumbled to myself "What just happened?"
