Geoff's POV

We stood there in shock watching this stranger stand there, going through our food. From the corner of my eye, I saw Awsten grab a frying pan from one of the sides. He lifted it above his head and began to wack it on the guys head, but that wasn't the outcome.

The guy quickly disappeared. Awsten put the frying pan back on the side and looked at me, shocked. We looked back at where the mystery boy was standing and he reappeared, facing us this time, with wide eyes. He had long-ish brown curly hair with a beanie, a black Sleeping With Sirens shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, black and white all stars, a tartan flannel wrapped around his waste and cuts all over his arms, and I mean all over.

"You just tried to hit me with a frying pan" he looked up between us both, shocked.

"What the fuck" he added.

"Shouldn't we be asking you that. There was a stranger in our kitchen who was eating our food and then just casually disappeared then reappeared." I explained.

"Oh I'm not a stranger, well, I guess I am, but we've talked before. Hi I'm Otto, I'm the maybe ghost that lives here." He smiled putting his hand out. Awsten reluctantly put his hand out and shook it with Otto's and I did the same afterwards.

"Em, I'm Geo-"

"I know who you are, remember, I live here too" he interrupted.

"What age are you" Awsten questioned.

"18"

"So how long have you been 18 for, like 4 years" I laughed.

"No, since my birthday last month, like any other normal person" he replied.

"But aren't you dead, and when your dead you don't age" Awsten said.

"Nope, It's weird, I age, I eat and drink, I get incredibly tired if I don't, but I mean, also the fact that I'm always hungry. Oh yeah I also sleep, but only for like 2-3 hours every night, unless I have no food or water, then the normal time. I never have to go to the bathroom anymore which is great, oh and I can obviously disappear and reappear. I can move objects but only when I'm visible-" he rambled on and on.

"Ok, but how can you tell your aging." I spoke.

"I died or, half died when I was 14. I've gotten taller since then, and like, puberty"

"Oh makes sense. Wait so was it you that took the pizza slices, and then opened the door and the made the noises. Oh and dropped the cereal." Awsten said.

"Yep, But the cereal was an accident" Otto replied.

"Did you clean that up?" I said.

"Yeah"

"Why" Awsten joined in.

"I thought, there already suspicious, why not just be really obvious, also I felt really bad just leaving glass, milk and cereal on the floor for you guys to clean up when it was my fault" he explained.

"Your not like a normal ghost. Normal ghosts are evil and scary and want to harm you." I said.

"Woh, stereotypical much, that's just in the cartoons bro. Keep those stereotypes up I will smack you with a frying pan" he responded

"He's never gonna drop that Aws" I laughed.

"How long have you been dead again" Awsten asked, ignoring the previous statement.

"4 years now, I died when I was 14" he explained.

"How did you die" I added.

"I, uhh, suicide." He spoke.

"Why"

"Well my little sister died when I was 9 and my parents always told me it was my fault, they started to hit me sometimes and on top of that I got severely bullied at school. I had severe anxiety and depression and as you can see cut. But that's behind me now"

"Damn, that's deep" Awsten said.

"Were are your parents now" I inquired.

"I don't know, they moved out right after I did it"

"Oooh that explains the pills, razor and blood, I'm guessing that was your room" Awsten realized.

"Yeah it's my room, and sorry about that, I was there when you discovered that."

"Wait, why did you stop answering on the ouija bored" Awsten questioned.

"I hate those things, I wanted to mess
with you, which I did with the banging by the way, I scared you good"

"You didn't scare us" I said.

"You slept in the same bed the first night you arrived" he bluntly stated.

"Fair enough"

"Anyway, ouija bored's creep me out"

"They creep you out. Uh huh, seems legit" Awsten responded.

"Hey I thought we already established I'm not a spooky ghost, I can scare you easily though" he added.

"No you can-" Awsten started. But Otto disappeared then appeared behind his ear and shouted boo while shaking Awsten's shoulders making him jump, I just sat there and laughed my ass off before he did it to me, making me jump as well.

"Point taken" Awsten laughed.

"Son of a bitch" I said.

"Hey don't insult my mother, actually you can, she was a bitch." Otto smiled causing us all to erupt in laughter.

"So you like Sleeping With Sirens" Awsten said.

"No, I'm just wearing their band merch" he said with a straight face.

"Okay sarky"

"Can you even leave this place" I asked.

"Not for over an hour, I start to get really tired"

"Damn, we have to deal with you then"

"Hey" He responded, hitting me in the arm.

"Wait, where did you even put the ouija bored Otto" I asked.

"I snapped it in half and threw it in the bin" he said, gesturing to the bin.

"That cost me 8 quid" Awsten stated.

"Well, sucks to be you then doesn't it"

"You owe me"

"If you haven't noticed already I'm a fucking ghost. I can't leave the house never mind have any money you dipshit" Otto explained.

"Dammit" Awsten replied causing me to laugh.

"I have like 800 quid in my bottom bedside table drawer, you can have all that if you want"

"Wait, are you serious" I stood straight.

"I'm a ghost that can't leave this house for more that an hour and even if I do go to the shops and buy things someone might recognize me or notice the fact that I'm slightly transparent"

"Well then" I replied.

"Where did you even get that amount of money"

"I babysat from the age of 12 and I helped out at one of the corner shops. I also busked a lot and my parents used to give me pocket money that I never spent before my sister died"

"Again, well then"

"Thank you" Awsten thanked and I then did the same.
