"Who wants to go first? Sure as hell isn't me" Connor snipped. "Also why do we need to explain, sure you all found out ghosts are real, big whop, what does it have to do with literally anything?"

"Wouldn't you be suspicious if you saw. Guy talking to 3 ghosts casually? Also on that note." Veronica looked at Heather C. "What were you talking about when you had identified Connor earlier."

"What you mean when he smacked his hand over my mouth to keep my quiet?" She asked.

"Yes." Ronnie stressed.

"Oh its because he's an anomaly."  She stated simply.

"What? How so?" Jeremy finally inquired after staying quiet for a while.

"He came back from the dead." JD stated frankly.

"Okay then! Time to change the subject!" Connor cut in. "So I overheard two people talking trash about this chic Madeline, what's up with that?" he laughed nervously

"No, lets not. So Evan care to share your boyfriend's little escapades with death?" Michael looked at his nails then at Evan who sputtered and slowly backed away.

"U-um...I-I uh..." unable to speak a word, he began to tear up.

"Hey hey don't cry, we just want to understand."  Heather M said softly, setting a hand on Evan's shoulder.
"Why don't we start simple, how did he die?" she asked Evan before Connor cut in.

"I killed myself okay?" he snarled, keeping his gaze aimed downward.
An odd and scary silence filled the room and was broken about 5 minutes later by a soft and broken sob coming from the tall, long-haired teen. Evan looked over to his partner and quickly enveloped him in a hug.

"Connor, it's over now, I promise." he whispered and uncharacteristically glared at the group before him.  "You shouldn't have asked that. Hadn't he mentioned earlier that asking someone that is taboo? Good god he was just starting to get over it." Evan huffed and took Connor out of the library, leaving the rest of the group stunned.
