The Spectre

Chapter Thirty Three : What Really Happened

GD started walking towards me and I flinched a bit. He stopped midway, eyes fixed at me with a mix of worry and hurt. I felt conscious with my action and became worried myself. I don't want him to think I'm afraid of him. He might disappear from me again.

"Come sit with me." I told him and tap a space in front of me from where I sat on my bed. I tried to look a less jittery and motioned for him to come over, he continued to walk and sat on the spot I told him to. "I haven't seen you for quite awhile." I was worried about you.. I thought to myself.

"Arya.. I'm sorry.. But your aunt.. She told me not to.. I know you already knew about me--" I place my fingers on top of his lips to stop him from talking. GD looked struck with my gesture.

I shook my head. "Ssshh.. Yes, I know.. But it doesn't matter.. I don't care.." I told him softly. GD removed my fingers from his lips, placed my hand on top of his lap and hold onto it tight. I moved a little closer making our faces only inches apart and touched his cheek with my other hand. "I am not afraid of you.." I whispered and made him feel my honesty by looking straight into his eyes. GD breathed out heavily, he looked pained and removed his gaze away from me. I'm not used to see his eyes look all glum and dark, I would move mountains right now just to see them bright again along with his smile. "Look at me, GD. Tell me what really happened."

He stared back at me with confusion and disbelief. I guess he didn't expect me to say those words. "Y-You don't believe I killed myself?" I nod slowly and gave him a sincere half smile. "Oh Arya.." He hugged me and I could feel my tears welling up in my eyes so I stared at the ceiling to keep it from falling. I can feel his cold skin but I really don't care. It was comforting, we could stay like this even for hours. GD turned to face me again and held my chin. "I couldn't tell you because I'm scared that something bad might happen to you once you'll know.. I'm really sorry.. I've deceived you.. I didn't mean to, Arya.. I just.." He paused for awhile. "I don't want your life to be in danger."

"What do you mean? I don't understand.." I asked him. I never saw him scared like this. He went uneasy and I could see he was battling with his conscience whether to tell me or not. I choose to press the issue. "Please tell me, I want to know." My eyes focused at him with intent.

GD returned my gaze looking unsure. "Are you sure you really want to know?" I pressed my lips and nod my head. Whatever it is, I'm ready. "Promise me you won't freak out. I'll let you see what really happened to me."

My eyebrows creased all of a sudden. "What do you mean?"

"This." GD took hold of both of my hands and I feel him grip them so tight it almost hurt. Then all of a sudden everything went in a blur. My room swirled and it made me a little dizzy but GD squeezed my hand. "Breathe, Arya. This would only take a minute." That was the last thing I heard him say before he disappeared in front of me.

"GD!" I shout and then gasped as I realized that I'm in a different room all of a sudden. "Where the hell am I?" I stood up from the bed that used to be mine awhile ago but now it looked like someone else's. I'm starting to feel a little panicky about all this. Where am I? Whose room is this? I scanned the room and noticed boy stuff everywhere. The room smelled like a boy's. There are rock band posters on the walls, a skate board on the floor, shirts and baggy shorts that hung at the back of the door and skate shoes in the shoe rack. "What the fuck.." I mumbled and my heart starts to beat a little faster. Just then I heard footsteps and my eyes widened, it looked like someone is about to go in. "Holy shit." I whispered and the door busted open.

A girl wearing a micro mini and a white shirt entered the room. A brunette. I'm sure she was supposed to see me since I was standing in front of the door but she just went through me and sat on the bed right behind me.
