Ghost [Niall Horan]

Prologue

Not knowing how to react to the situation was very devastating for me. For I always knew how to handle situations, I was always mentally prepared for contingencies. But this time, I was clueless. My brain wasn't functioning. There was a big void in the core of my heart, I felt hollow. The tears cascading down my cheeks. He stared down at me, sadness written all over his face. I so badly wished I could touch him right then, but my hand went straight through him and a sudden shock of phantasm coolness hit my veins. He gave me a sympathetic smile which I had no strength to maneuver to reciprocate. I was completely lost, broken.

"Can you please ask him for another chance?" I sobbed into my hands.

"I'm afraid not" he smiled, a sad one.

"Will I ever see you again?"

"I'm afraid not" he repeated his previous answer.

"Will you remember me?" I asked; I wish, I hope he does.

"I want to though, but I don't know what'll happen once I step in and pass" he told me and he brought his right hand to my face, his hand passing straight through me, the sudden cold hit me again, I felt frozen; not only by his cold hand but the situation.

"I wish I could kiss you" he spoke, his eyes glossy.

"I wish so badly, too" the tears spilt further.

"365 days, huh? That's a very, very long time" he mocked my once used quote. I smiled at his tone "I wish I could take it back."

"We all have wishes that'll never come true. We all have wishes" he shook his head, a smile fought through his lips. He was so tragically beautiful, it hurt, it killed to not be able to see him again. Ever again. He looked through my window "The sun will be up soon and my time here will be up, too."

"I wish, I wish you didn't have to go" my eyes still didn't cease to tear up at every word he spoke.

"This was not supposed to happen, you know; us. We hated each other and we fell in love. How tragic" he chuckled shaking his head in disapproval.

"I wish I still hated you because if I did, you going away wouldn't hurt as much as this."

"Me too. But as they say, we'll always have wishes that'll never come true" he reminded me. "The irony, I never fell in love when I was alive but I did, now that I'm dead anyway."

"That's why it's called a second chance. To experience things you couldn't when you were alive" I looked at him adorably.

"I'm grateful that you were the one I got to experience these things with" he smiled, profusely.

"Niall, the sun is about to come out" I felt scared, like my world was crashing.

"No matter what, wherever you are, remember I loved you and always will" he spoke, his voice shaky.

The pain had doubled, fear, paranoia and most of all fear of losing someone I had fallen in love with filled the once empty void in my heart. My breathing was ragged, my tears cascaded down my face in usual thick streaks. But his beauty remained, he was hurting too, I know but he wouldn't show it. His hauntingly beautiful smile painted on his face, but still in the flecks of yellow in his beautiful blue eyes held a tint of sadness.

"I expect a beautiful smile from you, now that I'm actually going and not a river of sodium chloride" he frowned. At least he made me laugh a bit. I smiled, genuinely smiled.

"I'm going to miss you and your stupid presence" my lips curved up a bit.

"Nothing less I could say" he retorted.

A beautiful smile holds memories longer than a sad goodbye. An array of beautiful words is remembered more than that of the cruel realities of life.
