The Journey Continues

Chapter 7: Oops.....

A.N: I'm so sorry I haven't been updating lately, school's kicking my ass again and just got over a sprain so.....yeah. I just updated another story, so don't panic!

-

As I glance back and forth between Jake and his mom, I sigh in defeat. I was hoping neither her nor her husband would come down and see me here. Didn't work. A small laugh escapes, and I look down at the floor.

"Ummm....let's just say that my wish was granted......"

Jake's mom backs slowly out of the room, not coming back down again. After that, I glance back over at Jake, and he seems to be pale, paler than I was as a ghost. I wave my hand in front of his face. Nothing. Snap my fingers. Nothing. I motion towards Derek, and I point towards Jake.

Derek does what I was hoping. He passes straight through Jake's body. If you didn't know, when ghosts pass through you, you feel extremely cold and freak out immediately. Jake shrieks and falls to the floor, shivering. I start laughing so hard I join him on the floor. Derek just stares at us, smiling the biggest grin if I've ever seen one.

"Are....are you....ok...? Hahahahah!!!!"

"S-Shut up!"

Jake whirls back over and pins my arms to the ground, nearly sitting on top of me.

"HEY! GET OFF OF ME YOU BUTT!!!!"

"Look who's laughing now huh?"

Jake starts snickering under his breath, and I turn my head, staring at him through my peripheral vision. I felt angry, but I also felt...funny. Like something was going to happen but it wasn't. Oh well. I struggled underneath Jake's grasp, wiggling almost like a worm. Jake has the biggest smirk on his face, enjoying his form of torture.

"Not fun being stuck, huh?"

"..."

I remain silent, not even daring to give him the pleasure of victory. I just laid there, face to the side, watching his movements. The slightest sign of weakness and I'll take my chance. One sign of movement and it'll be all over for him.

That's when Derek made his move again. He tapped Jake on the shoulder, and Jake whirled around, loosening his grip just slightly. Now's my chance. I lift my arms up quickly, spinning around, and pinning Jake to the floor. He's on his back, wiggling underneath me just as I was before, my hands pinning his arms above his head.

"Gotcha."

"Ugh, you win."

"Yay!"

I let his wrists go, still hovering over the top of Jake, relishing in my recent victory in play-wrestling. I didn't see the light in his eyes changing. Derek taps me, then points down at Jake. As I look down, I can see something that's...different. His eyes seemed to be clouded over, not like he was dying, but something else....was there.

"Yo, what's going on with you? Your eyes seem...off."

Jake grabbed my shoulders and slammed me back against the floor, knocking the wind out of me. As I was trying to regain the breath I had lost, I watched his expression. Jake seemed to change from looking absolutely crazy to looking like he was trying to hold something in. Once I regained control of my breathing, I took a risk.

"Jake, what's going on? You can tell me, you know."

Jake flinched, seemingly surprised. After a few moments, he sighed and looked at me straight.

"Are you OK with me doing something? You have to close your eyes, though."

My eyebrows furrowed; I wasn't sure what Jake was planning. But, I might as well roll with it. I closed my eyes, my heart pounding so loud I was afraid Jake would hear it. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt it. What Jake was wanting to do. Now it made sense.

His eyes were lustful. He just...KISSED ME!!!!
