"W-what do you w-want?" Luke's shaking voice came out as a whisper.

Julie was just staring at him- she wanted to hurt him but she couldn't- she was angry at him for trespassing at her room even though he told her he was going to enter.

Luke stood there like a statue and couldn't move a single muscle.

She brought her hand up and Luke closed his eyes waiting for the next thing to happened but she just left.

He opened his eyes to see no one around- Julie was nowhere to be seen in front of him.

He looked back to his bed, to see Jack standing beside him.

"FUCK! How many times do you have to scare me like that?!" he punched Jack by the arm before jumping on the bed.

"Are you gay?" Jack asked as Luke glared at him.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"Well I was just asking to make sure." Jack shrugged.

"No." Luke said blankly before burying his head on his pillow and minutes later he heard a piercing scream made by the neighborhood. "Argh!" he groaned and sat up.

"What the hell is your problem, Luke?" Jack moaned in his sleep.

"There's someone screaming and it's making me annoyed." he complained as he ran his hands through his hair.

"Just go to sleep, Luke. It's just your imagination." Jack said as he threw a pillow on Luke's direction.

Instead of going back to bed, he stood up and made his way to the neighborhood but before he completely went to the front door.

He saw someone standing there wearing a white dress with a blood stains on it.

He looked shocked as he saw Julie again.

"Julie?" he asked as she glared at him.

"Am I annoying to you?!" she asked more like yelling.

Luke didn't know what to say- "I-I didn't mean to say that." he sighed as he scratched the back of his head.

"No! You're clearly annoyed by me because if you weren't maybe you didn't go here in the first place!" Julie shouted as her eyes turned darker.

He moved back but Julie fades and he didn't know what to do- debating to himself if he should go and knock or just go back to his place.

'Second choice would be better rather than she haunts me for more' he said and turned around and saw Julie standing there inches away from him and he didn't know what to do.

"I don't know why you did go to my rooom in the first place. You're not concern, you just wanted to find out!" Julie exclaimed.

"Yes, I wanted to find out who was screaming!" Luke yelled at her, making the girl move back a little away from him. "Yes, I'll admit- I was annoyed by your screams and you scaring me like this- makes me frustrated and angry at you!"

Julie didn't know what to say, she just looked at the ground.

Luke couldn't believe himself- how could he be mad at some girl who doesn't even exist.

"I didn't want to bother you in the first place." Julie whispered.

"Why am I even talking to you? How is this even possible? How could I talk to a ghost like you? How could I see you? Why are you even talking to me?" Luke asked.

Julie has this hurt expression plastered on her face, "I'm sorry that a random ghost is talking to you! I wasn't even expecting anything from anyone! I didn't expect that one day you'll hear me screaming at my room because my mom and dad fought and separated!"

Luke shake his head, "Whoever you are, Julie-" he paused. "-I'm not interested and please stay away from me."

"Whatever I did wrong to you! I swear I can't leave you! You need to help me!" she shouted.

"How am I supposed to help you when clearly I don't know you?! You're just the girl next door who happens to show up to me at 3 in the morning and now we're fighting." he scoffed.

"You know, you're such a selfish asshole. You don't know a lot of things about me but I know everything about you." she said.

"Are you trying to scare me is that it, huh? Well I'm not okay?!"

"I'M NOT FUCKING SCARING YOU! I JUST WANTED SOME HELP FROM YOU AND MAYBE I THOUGHT YOU COULD BUT CLEARLY YOU CAN'T!"
