Ghost Boy (S.M)

fifteen

We went into the dinning room, Brian told us about all of the birthdays they had in here. It really made me realize that people lived here and had a whole life in this house.

There was one problem though, the lights keep flickering. Shawn was being a dick, it's as if he wants Brian to get scared or find out he's here. It scares me because if my family finds out I had a secret ghost friend they would probably either, not believe me and send me to a mental hospital or, we would move. I don't think Shawn realizes that.

"Will you excuse me, I'm going to go to the restroom." I tell the boys. I gave the air a stern look that hopefully would tell Shawn to follow me.

I run to my room and shut the door quietly. "Shawn!" I whisper yell. Shawn appears in front of me, confused.

"Yeah?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" He tilted his head in confusion. It was adorable, it looked like when a pug titles it's head. What is wrong with me? I've been calling Shawn adorable all day.

"I mean you flickering the lights! Do you want Brian to find out?"

"No..."

"You're an ass! Shawn, if he finds out or especially if my family finds out we might have to move and I'll have to leave! Just please stop!" I make direct eye contact with him hoping to get my point across.

Shawn doesn't say anything for a second. He scratches his neck. He looks defeated so I guess my job here is done. "Okay I'll stop." He says putting his hand down.

"Thank you." I take a deep breath and went back downstairs. When I get down there, Brian and Sammy are talking. I enter the room and the both turn and look at me. "Okay, do you want to see the upstairs?" I clap my hands and they both nod.

SHAWN'S POV

Gracie was right I shouldn't have messed with the lights. But I got excited, I mean Brian was my best friend, for almost ten years, I kind of wanted him to notice me. I miss hanging out with Brian, I would give anything just to have a conversation with him.

Gracie just finished the tour of the house and they were talking by the living room, in the hallway. Gracie looked really cute giving the tour though. She made it look like she had authority over them and that was hot....

Okay, I need to stop! What is wrong with me! I keep calling her hot and cute. But I can't have her. She's so perfectly wrong for me.

Also, let's take a second and talk about when we almost kissed this morning! I mean that was incredible! I could feel her minty breathe and she was staring at my lips, so I guess she feels something for me. But there's still the Jace thing, and the fact I'm dead.

"Before I go can I use the restroom?" I hear Brian say, it snaps me out of my thoughts. I look up at Gracie who is smiling. Sammy just looks like he wants to get the hell out of here.

Gracie gave him the directions to the downstairs bathroom and Brian went on his way. I weirdly started to follow him to the bathroom. I mean when I was alive we would do weirder things together. I just got this weird feeling I had to go. I wasn't going to watch him go to the bathroom,or something like that, but I just had to see him alone.

When Brian got in, he shut the door and looked at himself in the mirror. He was leaning against the counter and he started to tense up. "Shawn." He says. He turned around and scans the bathroom. "Shawn, listen, I might be going crazy here, but if you are here just..." He pauses realizing what he is about to say is cheesy. "Give me a sign."

Shit, if Gracie knew what I was about to do she would kill me. Well not kill me, because I'm already dead, but she would send me to hell or something. I flicker the lightsband Brian jumps back.

"Shit dude!" He whispers. "Wait do it again so I know that wasn't just a coincidence." I then flicker the lights again. Gracie is going to be so mad if she finds out. "Yup, I'm going crazy." Why does everyone keep saying that?

Brian looks frozen. I want to appear but if he finds out what will happen then? He'll either run out screaming or come back all the time, how will Gracie explain that to her mom? "Shawn, are you Seriously haunting this place?" Brian asks, tearing up. I can't keep doing this. I've decided to not flicker the lights again. I love Brian he's my best friend but he needs to move on and live his own life. If he believes I'm not gone it won't be good for him. He won't let it go.

"Brian I'm sorry, you have no idea how much I miss you. B-But I just need you to move on. I can't have you doing this, I'm sorry." I whisper knowing he won't be able to here me.

Brian takes a deep breath before making his way out of the bathroom. I could see a tear falling down his pale white cheek. I watch him leave the bathroom, but I stay here. I didn't want to see him leave the house, I couldn't. I knew I was doing the right thing for him but it still hurt to see him go.
