Break Me, Daddy

This was it, they would finally know how he died. The ride was only about fifteen minutes, but for some reason it felt like forever. Persia could not sit still as she was both worried and excited for Alec. As soon as they had parked up, Alec quickly exited the car and went onto the other side to let Persia out. "Now we just have to find it," she said, dragging Alec by the hand into the graveyard.  "Wow its packed today," He said. Persia looked around, the graveyard was completely empty except for them. "Oh, its a ghost thing," he laughed, waving a hand. "Right.." Many times Persia had wondered why she was even with Alec, there were plenty of boys after her, but something about him, the way he looked at her like he would die for her, (even though he was already dead), enticed her and pulled her in.  She gazed up at him with wide eyes and observed his perfect bone structure, his beautiful hair hanging lazily in loose curls on his head. He looked down at her and smiled before pulling out a joint and sparking it. "You smoke like a chimney," She laughed. If he was still alive she would worry about his lungs but as he wasn't there was no harm to be done. "It relaxes me," He replied, taking a drag.

They traipsed around the graveyard for about an hour until they finally found it. Persia manage to stumble across it after kneeling down to tie her shoelace. There it was. Alec Jones. "Alec! Over here!" She shouted at him . Meanwhile Alec was leaning against a gravestone chatting to the air. "The graveyard is the only place we can see and communicate with each other, I only know this because I visited here for my mother's funeral." Great, a ghost meet and greet. Alec ran over after quickly waving goodbye to his new friend, but Persia had already read the gravestone. She sank onto the floor. "What is it?" He said putting an arm around her. "So all this time, we were looking for clues about who killed you, and it was you?" She hissed. "What do you mean?" He asked, cupping her face. She pulled away abruptly. "You killed yourself, Alec," She whispered. "No, no that isn't possible I would never do that I have never even thought about it, I swear!" He reached out for Persia's hand but she backed away. "All this time I spent trying to help you, and you did it to yourself," She got up and wiped the mud from her jeans. "oh my god, it must be a set up," he said slowly. "Oh right, just admit it, things got hard so you gave up, you regretted it but by that time you were already dead, so you decided to drag me into this just so you would have someone to feel sorry for you, well, I don't." She stormed out of the graveyard. She turned to look behind her but Alec had disappeared. When she turned back around he was standing in front of her. She gasped. "Please Persia, just listen to me there is no way I would kill myself," He grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes. "Let me go," she managed to say in between sobs. "Listen to me, please!" He shouted. "I think I have some explaining to do, Persia."
