Celebrity actor Jay Summit had just rented Clifton's hotel penthouse suite. He'd had an excruciating long day on set and had also just finished filming the new movie he was staring in. 'the curse of falling in love' was the name of the film. He starred as the main character alongside other amazing celebrities such as : Beyonce, Bill Evorts , Jason Couper and many more .

Jay Summit was a very attractive man . He had jet black wavy hair ; big ,gorgeous light brown eyes ; lightly toned skin, a very muscular shaped body and he was quite tall.

"Your room is ready Mr. Summit Sir ", said the butler as he handed actor Jay Summit the keys to his new apartment. After taking the keys he handed the butler a tip and hurried off inside and shut the door behind himself .

Mr . Summit turned around as he took a good long look at his new beautiful apartment. The room was an excellent mixture of cream and white colours. The walls were fully tiled , as if it were a palace. Massive crystal Chandlers were hung in all sections of the apartment. It had it all , a flawless bathroom, a most perfect master bedroom and even a big ledge at the window where you could walk out and see over the entire city. The ocean and mountains were also in perfect view . This was exactly what he'd expected from the best hotel in town . He was more than pleased with it all . He stood out on the ledge for a while , before the cute little cream coloured window sill bench caught his eye on the other side of the room.

Without hesitation he ran to the window sill and immediately slumped into the comfortable seat and placed his hands behind his head as he peacefully dosed off.

"BANG!!"
Jay awoke as he fell off of his seat onto the cold hard floor. He raised his head as he rubbed out his eyes . "What in the heavens was that noise?" He asked himself. At first he suspected it to be the wind that had blown the bedroom door shut, therefore he got to his feet as he hurried to the bedroom . However, when he got to the room the bedroom door was still open ... And so was the bathroom door ...
"I must still be really tired . " He said feeling extremely uneasy , he then turned around and slowly walked back to the window sill . However just before he could sit back down in the seat ..."BANG!!!" the exact same noise! This time even louder ... And this time it sounded like it was coming from the apartment room door.  He swallowed hard as and exhaled. " If this is my neighbor's kids across the hallway playing some annoying prank game ! Knocking on my damn door ! They've got another thing coming!" He said ,while pacing to the apartment door as he ripped open the door...

There was no one... He stepped outside hoping to find those young kids giggling or running from the door, but there wasn't even a single maid or staff hotel member in the corridor. It was completely empty ... And dead silent...

"BANG!!" HE TURNED BACK AROUND LOOKING STRAIGHT INTO THE APARTMENT! He could not deny it again. He had definitely heard it ,and it was definitely coming from inside his room. Still standing in the frame of the door way  looking straight down the hlallway of the apartment , waiting to hear that sound again ...

"Sir !!" "Mr. Summit!!" Shouted the hotel's manager while shaking Jay's arm . Blinking afew times Jay replied "What ? What's wrong?  Where am I ? " He's voice sounded abit crackly in the moment. "You're.... in the elevator Sir..." "Can't you see?" Said the manager uneasily , staring at his hotel guest with utter worry in his eyes . Jay raised his eyes as he began rubbing them out again . He stopped, lowered his arms slowly as he glanced around . He realized he was in the elevator and they were on ground floor, this was many stories afar from his apartment which was right at the top of the hotel. His heart started pounding really hard . He started taking in really deep breaths , struggling to breathe. "What's going on ?" He said slowly, still breathing in between. "How did I get here ?!" He shouted . "Sir , i don't have any idea what you're down here on Ground floor, however you do look very exhausted . I think it's time I got you back to your apartment ,so that  you can get some shut eye " replied the manager as he pressed the button to the highest level  of the hotel , number 65.

Still not over the shock of what he was doing out so far from his apartment , Jay couldn't stop pacing in the lift. He was extremely uneasy and he felt extremely exhausted as well as paranoid.

When they got to his level , the manager accompanied him to his room ,and saw him in.  Then left.  Inside Jay waddled to his bed and slumped onto it like it was one giant cushion. "It's the movie. It's all getting to my head . I must have been sleep walking or something . " He said to himself as he peacefully fell into a deep sleep.

It was around about 2 AM in the morning , that Jay had rewoken . He needed to use the bathroom. So he got out of bed , and started walking towards the bathroom , while yawning and stretching at the same time. When he finished he walked back into his bedroom. The room was still dark so he flicked the switch to turn light on. He was standing facing his closet across the room, as he lifted his head to stretch again he's entire body froze ...

Against his closet she was standing... Her head bashed into the door.... Blood dripping from the cupboard onto the carpet infront of his bed. She was practically holding her body up against the door with her skinny shivering arms...

He couldn't breathe! His eyes couldn't even spread anymore! "Who are you!? What are you doing! How did you find your way into my apartment?!" He yelled.
"Mmm, your apartment?" She coldly whispered. Her voice making him cringe all the way to the ground.  "I'm sorry, we don't know each other , but I'm Tegan. " She said as she ripped he head out of the door. She started lifting herself up , and with every second , it sounded as if ten bones had broken until she was standing completely upright...

Jay had never felt this fear before . It was like every second of being in her presence increased his amount of fear by a million! She slowly starting turning around .... Very Slowly  ... Jay could hear his heart pounding . He started taking deeper  breaths ,but it wasn't helping . He was still on the ground . She was now facing him , but she had her head hanging and blood was still dripping from her hair covering her face, he couldn't see her properly.

In that moment, Jay realized exactly, what noise he had been hearing all day ... It was the sound of her smashing her head into the closet...

'Is she really the girl that committed suicide in this room?? No..It can't be ... That'll make her a ghost!! It's impossible! How can I see her!? How am I hearing her voice!??! How is she bleeding ???!' Jay thought to himself as he started panicking for his life!

She looked up! He face was completely covered in blood! She smiled and said "Oh , you do know me" ...
