Harley's pov

I walk back home in the rain. I don't even care about getting wet.

I open the door and slam it shut. I stomp up to my room still crying.

I collapse onto the bed and hug my pillow. I scream into it.

"Harley" I hear.

I look up and see my mom. She's standing there in front of me. This can't be real. I stand up and run to her. I try hugging her but I feel nothing.

"Sweetie, I'm a ghost" she says.

"What?"

"I came back to say goodbye" she cooes.

"I love you mom"

"I love you too. I have to go but before I do, I want to tell you something. I will always be here for you. You may not see me but I'll be there. I'll be there when you get married, I'll be there when you have your first child. I'll be there till the end. Just remember, I'm watching over you" She whispers then disappears.

I feel a lot better since I got some closure.

I run down to the living room where everyone is.

"I saw mom. She came to my room and talked to me" I say.

"Harley, that's impossible. She died three days ago." Aj speaks.

"I saw her, I swear. She told me she'll always be there for me. She was a ghost"

"Ghosts don't exist." He spits.

I ran to my room crying that he yelled at me. I put my head in my knees.

I felt a pair of arms touch my shoulders. I pulled away.

"Leave me alone Aj" I yell.

"It's not Aj" the soothing voice that belongs to Carter says.

He sits down next to me and pulls me to his lap. While being Rocked back and forth, I listen to his heart beat.

I sort of miss this. I miss him.

"Aj didn't mean to snap at you. He's still a little upset" he tells me.

After 20 minutes, we stand up.

"Wanna go outside" he asks.

I nod my head.

We sit down on the chairs near the pool. It quit raining and cleared up a bit. We watched to sun go down in silence.

"I'm really sorry about your loss. I know how it feels to loose a parent. My dad died when I was 13" he says.

"I'm sorry"

"It's fine" he replies.

"I'm really tired" I yawn.

"You should get some rest" he suggests.

We head up to my room and I crawl into bed after getting my pjs on. Carter leans down and kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight" he whispers walking toward the door.

"Wait" I say and he turns.

"What is it".

"Will you stay with me" I ask.

He nods and takes off his shirt. He gets under the covers. I cuddle into his warm chest as he wraps his strong arms around me.

How did I let him go?
