    I took another hour or so for Molly to finally be done. I don't know what I did the whole time. Probably just walked around bored out of my mind. But finally she came out with Haley and a boy and girl I didn't recognize.

    They were walking outside and Molly stopped and that she would be there in a minute then turned to me hiding behind a pillar. "So..." She says.

    "How am I going to come with when you have three other people right by you." I say cutting right to it knowing she's trying to delay.

    "I'm not sure!" She says getting frustrated and I can see she is trying hard not to bring my death in to this. "I don't know if this will work anymore."

    "Why because I'm dead!" I say as my voice starts to raise.

    "You know it's not like that!" Molly says raising her voice too. "It was fine until I became a soul hunter! It's hard to be friends with someone that I'm suppose to be hunting!"

    "You mean stranded souls!" I say.

    "About that!" She says still raising her voice. "When were you planning to tell me you're one of them!"

    "What!? I'm not one!" I say, but I can't even convince myself.

    "I'm not stupid! I know you are!" She's screaming now.

    "It's not my fault!" I scream back. "I only did it to stay with you!!!"

    "So it's my fault!!!" She says her face turning bright red.

    "No! I never said that!" I'm sure someone has heard us by now, but no one comes. "I waited for you! To die and have your soul come out, but it never did! So I stayed here to be with you!"

    "I'm still hearing that it's my fault!" She's still screaming. "Your car is the one that slipped on the ice and crashed into our car!" I can tell it's the first time she has ever blamed me for the car crash. It's the first time I believe it is my fault.

    "Ok." I say calming down. "If that's how it is. All I ever wanted was to be with you. The moment I saw you. I thought you felt the same way, but I guess I was wrong. So go do your job."

    "I didn't mean it like that. I was just mad. You lost your parents too. I felt so bad about myself I didn't realize that you had it worse." She says not mad anymore.

    "You should probably get going." I say. "They'll be wondering where you went."

    "Does that mean..." She says, but doesn't finish because I cut her off.

     "Goodbye." I say and she tries to protest, but I'm pushing her towards the door. "Go I mean it. I'll be fine." I say and she opens the door, but doesn't go through yet.

    "Are you sure. I don't want to leave you here like this." She says.

    "Why because you feel sorry for me." I mumble.

    "No! I'm saying that because I like you. Were friends." She says reaching out for my hand, but I turn around and ignore it.

    "Sure you are."

    "I was serious. I meant it, I'm not kidding!" She says getting louder to prove her point.

    "Just go." I say. I can't stand it. I won't be the one holding her back.

    "Ok! Fine! I just wanted to help!" She says heading out the door. "I thought we were friends! But I guess not!" She heads out the door and slams it shut leaving me there standing alone.

    It kills me to let her go like that. But I know it's for the best. She's better off without me. I know she won't turn me into them. She wouldn't do that. Molly is better off with living friends not dead. Especially stranded souls.
