When I woke back up I was lying on a bed. How the hell did I get here? I thought. I got up and saw that all my boxes where here. Aw man, Jen must've brought them up here all by herself!
"If you're thinking that she brought them up here herself then you're wrong." I jumped an spun around to see him standing there. Like he jumped right out of the article on the Internet. I was looking at the boy who is supposed to be dead. I was looking at Tate Langdon.
"Wh-why are you in my room!?" I whisper screamed at him. Grabbing a random bat that for some reason was leaning against the wall. He put his hands up laughing. "Woah. Calm down there. My names-"
"I know what your name is."
He gave me a confused look and then realization dawned on him. "Look, you have to believe me. That article was written way back when I was first killed. I swear I've changed." He gave me a pleading look. I slowly lowered the bat I was holding and loosened my grip. Tate relaxed a little bit. "So what? You're a ghost?" I asked in disbelief. I mean I believe in ghosts but I never thought I'd see one in person let alone an attractive one.
"Yeah. I'm a ghost." He sighed. "Why are you here? When ghosts stay behind they usually have unfinished business." My grip tightened on the bat again as I started to raise it up again. Tate tensed and his eyes got huge. He reached out and grabbed the wrist that held the bat and forces my arm back down. "Don't touch me!" I shouted. He quickly let go, clearly shocked. "It's okay. I wasn't gonna hurt you. I was gonna explain why I'm here ad then you raised the bat again." He said looking wearily at the bat.
"Oh." I said while putting the bat down. He sat down on the bed and I came over and sat across from him."So, talk." I said. He chuckled. "Alright, I don't really know why I'm still here to be honest. There some other ghosts here that are stuck too."
"So there are more?" I asked swallowing the lump in my throat.
"Don't be afraid of them. Most of them won't bother you."
"Most?" I squeaked. He saw my reaction and pulled me into his arms. I didn't exactly know what I should do. So I just wrapped my arms loosely around him and hugged him back.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm around they won't bother you." He mumbled into my hair. I know it seems strange to let a complete stranger who has psychotic urges hug you and everything but it felt normal to have Tate hug me. And be this close to me. Then I heard A scream.
