Chapter 9 A Choice

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I woke up the next day and was ready to head back to Mt.Ebott. I quickly finish up my morning routine and run out the house. "I'm going to Firsk' house be back home eventually!" I yell as I head out the door. I head into town first and buy two chocolate bars then continue my way to Mt.Ebott. I usually wouldn't lie to my parents, but if I said I was going to Mt.Ebott they might've freaked out or something and that doesn't do anyone any good. As I was walking I see a couple kids that I used to go to school with. Although I didn't talk to them much, I know if they see me they'll try and talk to me. So I decide to burst out into a full on sprint past them in hopes they don't recognize me or it's just to late for them to catch me.

My plan had seemed to work, but now that I'm at Mt.Ebott I'm exhausted. I take a few deep breaths before walking into Mt.Ebott, still a little tired. "Chara!" I manage to yell out. She appears in front of me almost instantly. "Did you bring the chocolate?" She asks. I pull one of the chocolate bars out of my pocket and toss it up to her. Why do I feel like this is some kind of hand off? I ignore that and decide I'll keep getting my memories back a secret for now. I mean she might kill me again. And despite knowing she's killed me before I can't be afraid of her. "So Chara, have you made a choice?" I ask sounding a bit more serious then I intended.

Chara looks at me confused. "About coming to the surface with me." Chara finishes swallowing some chocolate she had before and looks at me. "Yeah, I'll go." She says simply. "Wait, really? Just like that?" I asked confused. "Well to be honest I already had planned to go, but I wanted to look around the underground again." She says. "You know we can come back here right?" I ask. "Yeah, but I also got some chocolate out this." She says with a faint smile. "Screw off, let's just go." I say walking towards the exit. "Hey (Y/N)." Chara starts, I simply look back at her waiting, "thank you." Is all she says. "No problem."

I make my way home with Chara by my side. I was so distracted by the memories of Chara from the underground that the same group of kids I had managed to avoid earlier saw me without me noticing. "Hey (Y/N)!" One of them yells grabbing my attention. I quickly look around and notice Chara is gone, but I can still feel her presence around. I turn my attention back to the group and see one of my old classmates. "Johnny." I say blankly. Johnny is not an old friend. He is an old rival of mine. "What're you doing out of your house?" He ask. "I never had to stay in my house, if I felt like it I could've come to school." I say back. With most people I'm not a friend or an enemy, but Johnny kinda made it his mission to reveal a dark side of me.

"Right so you were just skipping school." Johnny mocks looking at his group of 'friends' behind him. "If that's how you want to see it then sure." I say about to walk away. "You know that friend of yours that feel down was probably trying to kill himself because of you." Johnny says regaining my attention. I turn back to look at him. "Two things. First Frisk is a girl. Second you have no idea what we've been through." I say keeping a calm composure. I see some of the kids pulling out there phones preparing to record something. Johnny walks up to me and pushes me back. "You really trying to start a fight?" I ask. "Yeah, so let's do it." Johnny says getting into a fighting stance. I sigh. "You aren't worth my time." I say walking away.

I hear Johnnys footsteps rushing towards me and just barely turn back to look at him. I see he's about to throw a punch so I duck under his arm as he throws it. I hear his group go 'ohhhh' in the background, but I ignore it. I was about to walk away again, but Johnny... doesn't know how to give up. So, he tries to punch me again, and again I dodge. "Chara if you wouldn't mind, could you please bring me the phones." I say out loud. I get questionable looks from the group of students watching until Chara appears behind them and takes there phones. She then makes her way towards me and hands me the phones. I delete the videos and kick Johnny right behind his knee causing him to drop to the floor. "We're done here." I say tossing the phones on the ground and leaving before anyone says anything.

As I walk with Chara I notice a candy store. I decide to mark the place down in my head for now incase I decide to come back here. I notice my house is locked and I don't have my key. "Hey Chara you're like part ghost right?" I ask. She nods. "Could you get into my house and unlock the door?" I ask. Chara shrugs and disappears. Next thing I know the front door unlocks from the inside with Chara standing there. "Thank you." I say walking in the house. "Guess I should show you around. Follow me." I say closing and locking the door behind me.

I show her the kitchen, living, and dining room first since there all right next to each other. Then I head upstairs to show her the bedrooms. "So, my room is on the left, my parents is a bit farther down the hall and on the right and across from there room is a guest bedroom. Oh, do ghost need to use the bathroom?" I ask curious. Chara shakes her head, but I'll show her anyways just because. "We have two bathrooms, one straight down the hall and the other is downstairs in the area I haven't showed you yet." I say with a sigh. "Feel free to sleep in my room or the guest bedroom, I don't really care either way." I say walking back downstairs.

"Well the rest of the house you can explore, I'm gonna be a bum and sit on this couch the rest of the day." I say dropping on the couch. Chara floats next to me just staring at me... it's kinda creepy. I choose to ignore it and continue my bumming until my parents come home. Chara disappears when she hears the door being unlocked. "Hi, sweetie." My mom says smiling brightly. "Hey, kid guess who we ran into today." My dad says. I start to think of people, but know one comes to kind until I hear a familiar voice. "(Y/N)!" I hear him say as he barges in the house. The man standing in front of me is the same man who taught me how to fight and dodge. He still looks like he's eighteen which is the age he was when he taught me. He's wearing a black fedora, sunglasses with tinted red shades, a red sweater, white shirt, and black pants. His shoes are a mix of different colors.

"Flare!" I yell standing up and hugging him. "Hey don't hug me you weirdo." Flare jokes as he prys me off of him. "Well we'll let you two to chat." My mom says as her and my dad walk to the kitchen. Flare drops on the couch. "So you got a ghostly friend, huh?" Flare asks quietly. His sunglasses fall just enough to let me see his dark brown eyes.
