A ghost's lover

I sat at the back of the car, earphones plugged in listening to 'twisted' by 'MISSIO' what a jam. Completely ignoring my mother. Who will soon remarry, to a "Harry"?  We are moving to the country side. I hope I can visit my sister and father in London. I don't hate my mum. I just don't like the fact she left my dad. Why would marry someone you don't love if you're going to leave them later on? Well, she probably thought he was going crazy, thinking he's like the lead singer of "the cure." My mum and I have different point of view in life. Everything is pink for her, but for me? It's all black. Let's not talk about the fact she hates my fashion sense. Clark's with socks that go up to my knee. A red skirt with a black shirt. I remember when I came home with my blue hair. Mother yelled at me. But dad? He hugged me, clapped his hands and said "it suits you so well!" He actually named me after the song "Charlotte sometimes" by "the cure" well I have to admit. They're songs are pretty "lit"? Is that how you say it? My mum comes from America, she met my father in Dublin. If you are dumb and you don't know where it is. It is in Ireland. They met in a bar. Whatever.

"Sweetie, talk to me!" My mum stops the car in front of a petrol station. I unplug my earphones and sigh, "what is it mother? I'm kind of wishing I was deaf, like my sister you left." She starts to yell at me "SHE is not alone! She is with your father!" I look outside the window and say as I start to plug my earphones back in "right, I forgot. You forgot them both."

We arrive slowly but surely at our destination. Glasgow. The house was a big house on the side of a cliff. He was waiting outside. With a smile on his face. "Oh Elizabeth!" She runs in his arms and places her lips on his. I cough and interrupt them, "please keep it pg ?" They let go, and look at me. You could see my mother trying to stay calm. "Oh Charlie! Hi!" I laugh, "sorry Harris, but only my sister gets to call me that." My mum looked angry and Harris looked confused and asks "but isn't that your name?" I didn't even meet the guy, and i already hated him, "no, I'm Charlotte." Et smiles and puts his arm around my waist, I just pushed him away. I don't like to be touched. Especially not in that manner! "Let me guide you to your room." He winks at me, it was hard to not throw up. He was a disgusting guy. Blonde hair, blue eyes. You're stereotypical player. I hope my mum made the right choice. And I think her noticed my reaction since his face darkened. As I had to follow him inside the mansion. Why would you have so many rooms if you live alone?

He showed me my room, he kind of followed the things I like. Blue walls. A bed, of course. A press. A mirror, so I can do the Bloody Mary! A piano. A desk. My mouth dropped as I saw a brand new computer on it with a note. With the name "Charlie" written on it. I sigh and read it:

Hey there kiddo! Welcome to your new home. I left you a brand new computer, so you can do whatever you want! ~your stepfather xxx ;)

Ew. Stepfather? I put my suitcase on the king sized bed. I open it. I take out the ouija board, the sage, the candles. I go to the night table and place the objects in. I take the key left for that drawer. And I lock it. That shit is expensive! "Charlotte! Dinner is ready!" I hear my mother call from downstairs.

Once I sit next to my mum, she looks at me and says, "tomorrow me and your father are working. Don't throw any parties!" My mouth dropped, "dad is coming home?" Just as I finish my sentence, Harris enters the room. Followed by what looks like a maid holding a plater of food. On the plates was served salads. "Salad?" I say in disgust. He looks up at me and says, "I'm a vegetarian." My mouth dropped once more. My stepdad was a vegetarian? No sausage at breakfast for me. My mother looked completely happy. At least someone was enjoying themselves. But I wasn't.

The dinner went by slowly, and the food. Well it was a plain salad. Nobody talked at all. The deserts came, it was a fruit salad. The man sure loves his salads. And the maid came back with drinks. It think it's Champaign? I'm not even allowed! "To your arrival!" Harris exclaimed. I took a sip of the drink, it tasted fine so I drank It all. My mother also did the same as me. I was starting to feel excited, I was laughing a lot. Whilst mother was falling asleep. "Well.. Hagrid, was nice seeing you-" Then I blacked out. Way to go.

The next morning I woke up with a terrible headache. Last time I will ever touch a drink. What did they put in the Champaign? Today I didn't know what I was going to do, so I went on my computer and watched Netflix for about a few hours. When I started to get goosebumps. The room was cold. I didn't know what was happening until a pen started to write on a piece of paper. I ran towards the door. But then I realised. Whatever was in the room was kind. I decide to go towards my drawer and pull out the ouija board. I know they say "don't play it alone. But I had to."

I turn the triangle a few times saying "I mean no harm." Once I stopped I thought about a few questions I should ask. "Who are you?" The ouija's triangle doesn't move. But the pen that was writing. Wrote a new phrase.  "You don't want to know."  I just decided to grab the pen and brake it. "Then I don't want you here!" The triangle then spells "fine. Talk." I sigh putting my fingers back on. I was scared. I've never seen a spirit talk in that manner. "How did you die?" I grab a piece of paper and a new pen. And write all the answers I had received:

1. Name: Jayden
2. Age: 18
3. Death: suicide
4. Year of death: 2015
5. Kind or evil: depends
6. Type of kid he used to be: goth emo
7. Do you want to have revenge on someone: depends who.
8. Who: the person who forced me
9. Do you want me to die: yes

And then I said goodbye. I light the sage in my room and spread it around. I started to gear computer sounds, as I looked towards it I see the keys going up and down. I look at the computer screen and read what was written "I want you to stay." I screamed and ran out of my room. I went outside and took a bike in the garage. I need a cig. I know I promised my mother, but she did call my "stepfather" "dad", plus I just met a fucking ghost. What is going to happen next! He said he wanted me dead!
