The world unseen

chapter 3- Drunk Alex

Present time

I look at the girl in my back seat dumbfounded. I was able to see through her translucent body. her lips were moving but I couldn't hear what she said. "I'm sorry what?" I asked having my senses returned to me.

"I said my name is Della, who are you?" she asks me in a snarky voice. I blink this girl has got to be a ghost, but why am I only seeing her now?

"I'm N-Nova." I stutter to get my name out. "Why are you in my car?" The girl, Della, rolls her eyes as if this was supposed to be obvious. Well, it should have been. This girl is clearly a ghost and the rule about ghosts is that they cannot leave the place of which they died. The only part that didn't make since was that I can actually see her.

"Your car!? Hell no, this is my fucking car!" She started yelling and getting possessive. "You only have it because I died. Now get out it's mine!" This pissed me off. Who was she to tell me what to do I didn't know her and she wasn't my mother.

"No this is my car! I paid for it, if you want me to leave then you better pay me for it. The exact amount I bought the car with." I yelled back. I sure the hell was not letting someone I didn't know highjack my car, dead or not.

She quiets when I say this knowing full well she can't get the money, not when she can't leave the car and the fact that people can't see her.

I sigh. "I think that we got off on the wrong foot. lets redo this. I am Nova." I hold out my hand. even though she is a ghost given my powers I can touch her. She looks at me with a skeptical gaze. Della then gives me her transparent hand. I shake it.

At that moment my phone rang, it was Alex. I pick up my phone and answer it. "What's up Al?"

"Not a didly Darn ton whaaaaat about yooouuu?" she called happily and cheerily into the phone, unaware of the other listener.

"Who the fuck is that?" Della whisper yells in my ear. I push her away.

"Hey Al, no, there is nothing interesting going on here. I just picked up some food. how about we have dinner together?"

"Sure! I'd love to!" she smiled and giggled "Can we meet at the Freddy's on 8th street?"

"I was actually meaning a home cooked meal."

"OOOOOOOOH" she laughed "Sure! My house?"

"Um, why not. It's not the direction I am driving but alright." I say as I change lanes.

"Hey, so where ya goin'?" Della asks, leaning over my shoulder, her cold breath wafting over my ear. "Who's that on the phone? Watch out don't wanna hit anyboddddyyyy!!!" She coos, before reaching up and grabbing at the wheel, swerving the car into the side of the road.

" WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" I scream.

As I say this, a deer prances in front of the car, staring at us in the headlights, before jotting off. "Well! You almost became my permanent fellow passenger, cause you weren't paying attention to the road." She says back to me, sticking her tongue out.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAA!!!" She screams "ANSWER MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

"Oh sorry Al, something caused me to nearly die." I say as I glare at Della. she gives me a goofy grin while sticking out her tounge.

"WHAT?! ARE YOU-" hiccup "OKAY?!?!?!" The slurring in her voice was very obvious that she was drunk.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine. no need to worry. I'm on my way. Don't do anything reckless!"

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Okay!! HURRY UP! OH AND NO PROMISES TINY ELF OF THE NIGHT"

I laugh, "what?"

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW JUST ROLL WITH IT!"

"Alright my little red bean baby" I say while laughing

"HEYYYYY DOOOOOOOOON'T CALL ME THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!"

"You should know this by know that you are never going to get out of that nickname. okay, see you in a bit." I hang up and then glare at Della.

she looks back at me, her face showed no signs of emotion at this moment.

"I had control of the car you know..." she gives me that 'Bish really?' face. I give an exaggerated sigh.

"So, lets just go to your friend's house okay?" she says, I couldn't tell if that was releif or annoyment in her voice.

"O-okay." I stutter calming down. I start the car again the rest of the ride to Alex's house was quit and there was this tense feeling in the air. I pull into her drive way. "I'll be back... I just don't know how long I'll be." I say to Della. she waves her hands at me to go.

I walk up the side walk and I don't even bother to knock on the door. I open it and walk in.

"Alex? where are you?" I call out to her. knowing this goofball she probally thinks that its a good time to play hide and seek.

"Not here....." She whispers from inside the wardrobe. I could hear her obvious giggle.

I walk toward the sound and open the doors. "Found you!" I say brightly.

"Aww." She crosses her arms and pouts, "How did you find me so quickly?"

"You giggle to much that's how." I pull her out and ruffle her hair in a noogie. She starts laughing again. "What do you want to eat?"

"Katsudon!" She yells. My dear friend was in love with Japanese animes and Yuri on Ice was her most recent on, I watched it along side her.

"And what if I don't have the supplies to make it?" I ask to tease her, I actually do have the stuff. It was a little funny when small tears began to form in her eyes. How much did she drink before I got here? "Its a lie, I have the supplies. I can make it for you but it might take a bit."

She sniffles then wipes her eyes. "Meanie."
