Midnight- Everyone dies it's how you live that matters

I sat on the couch at Emilio's just staring at the wall. I heard the rain outside and just wished it to stop but it wouldn't, not for a little while. I heard the front door open and felt someone come in the room, but not Emilio he had given me some space.

"Addy here drink this, it will help" I looked up and saw Fiji, I sighed and took the cup.

"I really don't think anything is going to help Fiji its been almost a full day, I can't get it to stop." I grabbed the mug from her and took a small sip. It was soothing but it can't heal a broken heart. "I can't believe he left without me like he thinks I can live without him, the boy I lived with in a small RV all my life, he took my grandma with him, I can't even talk to her right now." I looked down at my lap.

"I though your grandma was dead?" she asked

"She is, her spirit is tethered to the RV" she nodded understanding. I groaned feeling all the sadness and pity from the town, all the hate toward my brother from certain people and then her, I felt her pain and sadness from down the street. It was her fault and last night I let her know. He was only here because of her, when she told him she wanted to be alone he left. And I felt the fear from the friend sitting next to me. I listened outside and heard the rain had stopped.

"The rain?" I questioned, and I looked outside seeing the sun peek through the clouds, I looked back to Fiji.

"I told you it would help." She said and gave me a small smile, "Why don't you go over to the restaurant and talk with Emilio, he's been worried about you." I nodded and walked over to the restaurant.

Manfred POV

"Well I'm not gonna lie to you Manny I'm disappointed" Grandma said from the passenger seat. I looked back tot the road not ready to deal with this again.

"You're also dead, you don't get a vote" I told her putting on my sun glasses, so she couldn't see my anger.

"They are counting on you"

"Joe wanted us to lead, I'm leading I'm getting the hell out of there" I reached into the cupholder and grabbed my bottle of pills.

"And Creek what about her, what about Adelynn you left her there" she said. I emptied the pill bottle into my hand

"Creek doesn't want me there, she deserves better anyway, she told me she doesn't wasn't me around, Addy will me fine she has Emilio she doesn't need me anymore you said that yourself." I took the empty pill bottle throwing it on the back on the RV "Well guess I'm quitting"

"I never said she didn't need you Manny I said she didn't need you all the time, she still needs you in her life you are the only family she has left you two have a connection like no other." She looked back at the empty pill bottle "Now I'm worried Manny."

"What I don't see ghosts every 5 second like in midnight I'll be fine"

"No, it won't be fine you need to go back, its your destiny" she paused like she was thinking "before I died I got a vision" I looked over to her is disbelief. "I should have told you, but I kept chickening out and then Joe beat me to it.

"So, this whole thing of us being safe in midnight, that was all a lie?" I said raising my voice at her, why am I not surprised she had lied to me.

"I had to get you both there somehow" she commented, looking at me from her seat.

"You know I really wish you weren't tethered to this RV so I could kick your dead ass out." I looked back to the road trying to ignore that she was there.
