Casper ➳ H.S {Short Story}

song: say something - christina aguilera 

It’s been 6 months.

I had a dream about you and I woke up crying, I ran to Casper’s room.

That’s her nickname, she said that it reminds her that she is also a ghost with her parents. And I cried. She cried too and we held each other and we cried and it felt like you Gemma like you were right there.

I went to her room and she was sitting on her bed and looked sad and I sat with her and she looked beautiful and I felt.

I felt something.

I wanted her forever Mum and I can’t explain it and I feel loved with her she cares and she told me she cares.

I wrapped my arms around her and she held me tightly. I’m not afraid Gemma because Casper told me that there are horrible people out in this world and she told me that as long as she has me she will never be scared again and then, then I

I told her I loved her

 I meant it. And I’m happy. And I miss you, I miss you Gemma, Mum. I want to be with you in that special place but Casper said no.

Casper was very unhappy today and I didn’t know what to do.

She always knows how to comfort me, Mum, Gemma.

Just like you two.

But now I was standing in the hallway watching her fall to her knees and cry,

I took her to the attic.

I don’t know why, so we can be alone.

I tried not to cry I really did.

But it was really hard Gemma, it was.

Seeing her like this I kissed her forehead over and over and told her I loved her and that she can tell me what’s wrong.

She looked up at me, Mum, with her big, bright eyes and told me,

That she had to go.

And I said I am going to go with her because I can’t be alone again.

Then she reminded me that this is a home for kids without parents.
