Scary Stories 1

Loving a dead person

As a child, my third eye has always been active and I also have an imaginary friend, no one believes me but it's true. On some occasions, he would talk to me and I would also talk to him. I never find it quite scary nung sinabi nila sa akin na ghost ang nakakausap ko. He was like the bestfriend I never had as a kid.

One day I was playing at my aunt's front garden, nagdidilig siya ng mga halaman niya when I suddenly talked to her saying ""Tita look oh, they're so cute and little"". I was referring to some cute little dwarves and dun nila nadiscover na I can see things that they can't. Nasundan pa yun, white ladies, giants, I was never scared. For me it was kinda natural. Until my imaginary bestfriend appeared.

Sabi niya ang pangalan niya is Mark, kinukwento niya sa akin kung pano siya namatay. Sabi niya he was murdered by his own father, and his body was never found. I was like 9 or 10 at that time. I really want to help him but I cant', he is 15. We talked about things. I really have a crush on him, kahit na I know that he is dead. When I'm alone kakausapin niya ako, kakamustahin, ico-comfort, sumasama din siya sa school ko. He knows my fears, my weaknesses. As a kid mature na talaga ako mag isip. I know this isn't scary but I just wanted to share my experience.

After 4 years, my dad decided to go abroad. I was 14 at that time at anjan pa din si mark. My mom decided na pumunta kami sa province ng dad ko and dun na tumira. Mark heard it and he was mad, sabi niya iiwan ko daw siya, kakalimutan ko daw siya and dun na nagsimula lahat. I started to have nightmares about a kid being murdered, bigla akong gigising na umiiyak then mark will be at my side. Nakatingin sa akin saying his sorry but the nightmares didn't stop, mas lalong lumalala and then may times na ako na yung batang pinapatay. I was scared but then mark was always there.

Mark will comfort me. Iiyak ako and he would act like he was hugging me, he would say sorry to me, he would say that it was just a nightmare. I was falling for him, he was my secret, but fate is not within my reach. We moved sa province ng dad ko somewhere north, I thought sasama si mark pero hindi, naiwan siya. Until now I still have nightmares pero hindi na madalas. I miss mark, wala akong nagawa. I remember seeing him nung umalis kami, nakatingin siya sa akin from our door, emotionless. I don't know what to do at that time, nasasaktan ako.

I'm 18 now and still may feelings pa rin ako kay Mark. I never entertained suitors kasi I would think that Mark would be mad, and then I realized that he is the kid in my nightmares. He let me watched how he died, he let me experienced love at a young age. I don't know if he is still here on earth or in our old house. I wanted to visit him there but I'm scared, scared of knowing if he's still there or if he's gone.

How will I unlove a dead person? How will I forget him if I can still see him on my dreams.
