I opened my eyes, and Richie wasn't there.
"Richie"? Is this 1 of Barred tricks. I looked around me and I think I was in the shadow world.
"Meditate well darling"? Barred. Ugh what did he do know?
"What did you do"?!
"Your a shadow".
"WHAT"?!!!!!!
"Shall we check on your body and Richard"?
"What are you getting at Barred"?
"You'll see in time my dear". He took my hand and we were back in my room. My body was the same but I wasn't in it.
"Richie, Richie, talk to me"!!!!! I screamed as loud as I could.
"He can't here you baby". He smirked. Barred was a full person again. I guess that means I am a shadow.
"Why, what did you do"?
"Celeste is in your body and your the shadow now, guess who can't hear you"? He smirked again.
"Why are you doing this"?
"Because now you can be with me". I noticed Richie open his eyes and look over to my body.
"Are you ok, sweet heart"? He looked at my body and poked it.
"Barred please let me go back". I begged him.
"I do love when you beg, but no darling". I looked back at Richie, he was looking all over me and trying to see what was wrong. I body fell and was in a ball.
"Oh my god, wait is this a joke"?
"Christina stop faking"!
"Please be joking"!!
"CHRISTINA PLEASE ITS NOT FUNNY"!!! I think he was starting to cry.
"Wake up, please. I love you wake up"!
"What's wrong with your baby"?
"Barred stop"!! He didn't face me and none else can hear me.
"What did you do to her"!!!!! I saw his face, it was full of rage and tears.
"I didn't do anything to her".
"Why is she dead"?!!!!! He started crying more.
" Oh shes not dead, her life has just begun". He smiled.
"What"?! Barred was gone but I was still there.
"I'm so sorry I didn't protect you and not your hurt or worse"!
"I'm right here, it wasn't your fault"! He whipped away his tears but more came.
"Wait a second"? He felt my pulse.
"Oh thank god your alive"!! He hugged my body.
"IM RIGHT HERE"!!! I started to cry. I think Barred did something but it's 9:30.
"Come on you go in your bed, ill take the couch". He put my body in my bed and then went down stairs. I followed him down to the couch. He layed down turned off the light and closed his eyes. I went right next to him and cuddled up to him. But he couldn't feel me or see me.
"Goodnight Richie". I said softly and started to cry. I was back in the shadow world.
"How did you like being a shadow darling"? Barred asked.
"I didn't like it at all"! I yelled.
"Why"?!
"Are you serious Barred"?!
"Can we get to know each other please"?
"Why"? What is with this guy.
"Because I happen to like you".
"Well I'm stuck here for like ever so whatever".
"Now your getting it". He smiled.
"You start". I said while rolling my eyes.
"Ok, hmmm what do you like about me"? He asked looking happy.
"Ugh your good looking, and ugh you um.." ?
"You don't like me do you"? He looked sad but he smiled.
"No, as a friend no and as anything else no".
"Why not"?!
"1) you are horrible to my boyfriend, 2) you trapped me in a shadow, 3) you act like you have a crush on me and you do stuff like this". I kinda feel bad for him, he doesn't have friends or parents or a person to love who loves him back... no wonder he's evil.
"I'm sorry, I don't know people skills". He looked embarrassed.
"You really aren't that bad, when you wanna be". I smiled.
"Thanks".
"Your welcome". He actually is being nice.
"Do you really want to talk to Richard"?
"Yes". I don't know where this is going.
"I'll send you to his dream so you can talk to him".
"Thank you barred"! I don't know why but I hugged him, he hugged me back.
"I'll see you soon". He kissed me on the cheek and I was in richies dream. He was at my grave I think putting daisies down on it.
"Those are my favorite". I said softly. He looked at me then his mouth dropped and he hugged my, I hugged him back.
"I missed you so much, what happened, are you hurt"? He kissed me.
"Richie this is a dream". He looked sad.
"I know, are you my imagination"?
"No, I'm me". He hugged me again.
"What happened?! He screamed really loud. I started to feel the ground shake.
"Your waking up, I have to go soon, I'll explain to you later". I kissed him and left.
"How did it go"? I was on the ground but I was still in the shadow world.
"Good, thank you so much Barred".
"Are you tired"? He looked at me with a smile and I shook my head yes then yawned.
"Come on". He walked me to the guest room. He actually has a house all alone to himself. I got in the bed but then he sat at the end.
"Barred why do you have a whole house alone"? He looked upset.
"Well my parents are gone and I dot have any family or friends so"...
"I'm so sorry". He smiled.
"Baby I'm a lone wolf its fine". He left the room and closed the door. I wonder if I'll see Richie in my dreams... I hope so.
