CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - Agitation

| Ghost's POV |

I sat silently in the back seat, Billy was out cold after he got into the van. Toast had to carry the limp body of Melissa who had passed out after she had been crying for no reason.

It was quiet for most of the ride, until Melissa had finally woken up. Toast began laughing at her when he told her how long she had been out for. The two seemed close. A little too close..

I didn't make a noise. I didn't want to ruin their moment. Soon things fell silent once more. To think Melissa was still a complete stranger to us, she seemed close to Johnny. Then again, I don't blame them. He was quite the charmer with the ladies. I could never get a girlfriend. All I got was a crazy stalker who I had no interest in.

The trip back was long and tiresome, I didn't realise how far out I was. But then again, he was in control and not me so I must've been out through the journey or just couldn't calculate how far I had gone.
Yes. I figured out my other side, if I should even call it that. It's in fact not part of me. It's not an alter ego, no. This was a possession of an intellectual paranormal being. Someone I know all too well and have for my entire life. I had no idea until now.

Silence had fallen in the van as the trip home was coming to an end. The atmosphere was one I didn't enjoy. After running away on a murderous rampage whilst covered in dried blood then returning home was a new feeling all together.

-------------------

We finally returned home. Billy woke up and went back to the Acachalla's residence while Toast, Melissa and I went inside.

It felt weird being back. I had no idea how long I was away but home never felt the same. I walked in the living room and sat down on the sofa. The sun was setting and Toast was in the kitchen cooking, Melissa was there with him.

It somehow made me feel hateful at how well those two got along. The more I thought about it, the more hateful I got.

'show her our secret' a sudden stabbing pain occurred behind my right eye, like a migraine. I held onto my head tightly, bringing it down close to my lap as the pain consumed my enter head. I felt dizzy, like the entire earth was spinning faster than it should be.

'leave me alone...' I groaned to myself quietly. The constant throbbing of my head was distracting. It was hard to focus on anything. My eyes began to water from the pain.

'cry baby' the voice in my head has become more verbally abusive to me than normal.

"Johnny?" Melissa spoke softly as she stood in the kitchen door way.

I looked up at her, my hand on my head still. "Hm?"

Melissa's eyes burrowed with concern. "You OK?" she asked, the worry in her tone was clear.

What should I say? Should I lie and tell her I am fine? Or tell her the voice in my head wants me to kill her?

"Yeah, I am fine. It's just a headache" I reassured with a pained smile. Her purple eyes looked at me with disbelief. She looked as if she wanted to push on further, but she decided not to.

"Alright. If you need anything, Toast and I are in the kitchen." She said before leaving to go back into the kitchen.

I sighed deeply. The headache has seemed to have gone now. I was confused. Everything that has happened was roo much for me to wrap my head around. I needed to do some research on what on earth was happening.

My stomach growled in retort to my idea. Looks like I am eating first.

I got up and walked into the kitchen. Toast was helping Melissa cook something. The two were a little too close for my comfort zone.

"Ahem" I cleared my throat to get their attention. Melissa turned around with a confused expression. Toast soon looked over to me with a grin on his face.

"Is everything alright, Sir?"

"Peachy" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes. Why was this bothering me so much?

'She's stealing away your friend' There was that familiar pain. But for some reason, it didn't hurt as much.

Toast turned back to his cooking, not catching on to my sarcasm.

"I will just leave you two it" Melissa said awkwardly as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.

I remained in my place, my arms crossed as I leaned up against the wall. The atmosphere was intensely awkward - at least on my side.

Toast continued to cook, ignoring my existence, so it seemed at least. He hummed some song that was probably done by a British artist as he wasn't so fussed on the American artists. He seemed happy and contempt, giving to what has happened in the last month.

He seemed too happy for my liking. Not that his happiness was bad, but given the circumstances of the events it's like he was acting as if nothing had happened.

"You're cheery" I said bluntly, a hint of annoyance in my voice.

Toast stopped briefly before continuing cooking. "Not sure if it's a statement or a question sir" he spoke nonchalantly, keeping his focus on the food.

"It's just a little strange ya know. A bit too cheery given all that has happened" my temper was starting to stir the more I spoke to him. I had to know.

"What exactly are you getting at?" He hissed in my direction, turning away from the food briefly.

"What's the relationship between you and Melissa?" I growled in return. The question was out there, no turning back now.

There was a moment of silence.
