The figure follows the boy home in silence. He knew his mum would be expecting him, as he had been 'walking' for almost two hours.
To make things believable he decided to jog home, letting his mind run with him.
"Troye , why are you running?" The voice behind him questions, with that the boy suddenly stops.
"How did yo-" he stops turning around however the ghost was no longer around.
You see, troye had never told the mysterious figure his name.
They had only made such small talk this afternoon.
Troye shakes his head, sighing in frustration as his hair falls in front of his head and continues jogging.

3 : 0 0 a mI jump as a hand phases through my phone, the all too familiar voice speaking up.
"Troye, what were you doing up there this afternoon?"
I sit up and turn the light on so that I can see him.
I sigh in defeat "you already know, don't you."
He shrugs "maybe, but it'd be nice to hear from you... I mean it isn't the nicest answer it'd just be-" he looks away and scratches the back of his neck.
I chuckle at the stumble of words and give him the answer he wanted;
"Well I kind of just- I hate everything." I take a deep breath before continuing, "and I can't put up with it anymore"
I flop back down into bed "enough about me; why are you here?" I say, trying to avoid the subject at hand.
"Oh the answer to that is simple, to keep you alive."
I raise an eyebrow "and who exactly may you be?"
"A ghost, sort of? I don't know really.."
"Your telling me you don't know what you are?" I question back.
"Well it's not that simple, I'm not human but I'm not a spooky ghost of sorts... Only you can see and hear me."
I roll my eyes as I mutter "great, I'm going crazy."
