Dead (Dorbyn) *Book One*

Ch.21

¤Corbyn's P.O.V¤

I flutter my eyes open, only to immediately close them again. The sun is way to bright, and it's only morning. It must be a very good day then.

Slowly, with only half an eye opened, I sit up on the hard ground. When I'm finally used to the light, I took a look around me.

My surroundings are familiar. An empty field with lots of dirt and tares. Then I see the old house that was mine a long while ago.

A smile forms on my face.

A house where Daniel should be right now. Alive and happy.... and not knowing I exist.

After I shook Jack's hand, I blacked out. I didn't expect him to start like that. I mean, I thought he was going to give me some extra information.

Well, I guess not. It's now my mission to make Daniel mine again. But how? I can't just go up to him and claim. I was his ghost boyfriend. I can't tell him he died and I made Jack give him a second chance.

"Hey, bro."

A manly scream leaves my mouth as the voice startled me. I turn my head to see Jonah looking at me and smirking.

"God dammit, Jonah. Don't ever do that again. You scared me to death." I exclaim, a hand clutched to my heart.

Jonah chuckled. "And you only just got your human life back. Wouldn't want that happing." He said and ruffled my hair. "Speacking of which, How do you feel, being alive and all?"

Jonah helps me up and brush the dirt off my clothes as o answer.

"Pretty hungry I guess." I said. "I missed real food."

Jonah smiles. "I bet you did. Here." He said and hands me an apple.

Without wasting anytime I take a bite. "God, it's still as good as it used to be."

"What did you expect? That the flavour changes over the years and it would taste like skittles?" The sarcasm is dripping from his voice.

"Skittles?" I ignore his tone.

Jonah face-palms. "Never mind. I sometimes forget you are actually and old man."

That remarks is rewarded with a slap against his head. "Never forget that I never went over the age of 30. But you my friend, went way far over it."

Jonah smiles. "Now that's the CorbynI know."

I sigh and look to the house. "I have no where to live." I said suddenly.

Jonah nods. "Well, since Jack did this to you i guess you could ask if you can live with him and Zach for a while. They live in the closest by town."

I nodded and smile. "That's actually..." My smile falls. "Not a good plan. I'll have to hear them have sex every evening."

Jonah laughs loudly and nods. "That's your problem, Corbs. You don't ry have another choice do you? Unless you want to go live in the cabin in the woods. I bet the skeletons could keep you company."

I look at him in disgust. "You're actually a horrible friend, you know that?"

"Only for you, Corbyn. Only for you."

And just when I'm about to hit him again, a voice scares me again.

"Can I help you?"

Another one of my screams echoes over the field. My body turns towards the new voice and I gasp. Daniel is standing on a safe distance from me, his arms crossed in front of his chest and  curious expression on his face.
