Ghost of the Wind - ZE:A (Children of Empire)

She didn't notice me, again. I can't even remember the last time I talked to her, or even saw her eyes in mine.

None of this is real, right? It's all a hallucination, am I wrong? But, she's my girlfriend... my own girlfriend that doesn't even realize my existence.

Slowly, I realize that we're slowly drifting apart. The last time she responded to me was with a text saying 'I hate you'.

However, she can't mean that, right? I mean, she once sent me a picture that read 'because girls only say "I hate you" to the boys they love'.

I walked down the alley - a little shortcut from the school to my house I found. It was useful when she was with me. I took it because she and I took way to much time chatting away at whatever we could laugh at. This shortcut was the only way I could make it home without making my parents worry.

It was oblivious to me that I was actually walking through this alley. It's not like I needed to walk through this path anymore. The path where I ended up remembering all our inside jokes and other funny business we laughed hard at.

Wait, I saw a shadow passing by. Dark brown hair like hers was flowing in the light breeze. I followed it around the corner. A figure in a white lace dress with long sleeves stood there facing me. A girl.

Her brown eyes were visible to me for the first time in a long time. But she just stood there, just staring in my direction.

I walked up to her. She was as still as a wall. Gently, the wind started blowing her hair out of her face. She looked a lot more pale than the last time I saw her.

Gingerly, I reach for her hand. However, I can't tell if her hand is in mine. It was the weirdest feeling I've ever felt. It's like when I tried to take her hand, it slips right through mine.

God knows what she's doing here. Speaking of that, the moment I was able to firmly grab her hand, she mouthed something. I asked her to repeat herself, out of her mouth came "ghost of the wind". The second she said those four words, she disappeared.

"Wake up" was repeated at least 50 times, if I could count properly with my hazy mind. I remembered I was at a friend's house with 8 good companions, best friends others say. All boys.

"Dude, you sure were out for a long time," one of my friend says. I see myself at his dining table. In front I saw some video game on pause and all my pals surrounding me.

I tell (remind) them about my dream. I don't know if it's odd, but all my friends say that they have had more or less the same dream. The one thing that is common is that a loved one of theirs says "ghost of the wind".

I have no idea what to make out of all of this. Except, this is what I don't (haven't) told them:

In my dream, I tell this girl "please don't lie to me". Right before the part in which she 'disappears', I hear a voice say "be happy". For some reason, I cannot tell if that voice belongs to me or her. Maybe it's someone else's, but who would know?

I ended walking home a little earlier than my friends. I just wanted a little rest, that's all.

Up front, I notice one of my friends. I thought it was odd since my memory remembers that I was the first person to leave their house. He was sitting in his car, looking like he was depressingly stressed out.

I could see why now. I remembered he broke up with his most recent girlfriend, who was walking right by him! He tried to wave at her, but he was ignored.

I continued my walk home. I felt kind of sorry for my friend (kind of because it's happening to all my pals recently). That's not the worse though.

In the same alley way as my dream, I see the same figure in the same dress with the same hair. I walk up to her, crossing my fingers for a response.

Still, she doesn't move. I could've sworn that she was my girlfriend, my actual girlfriend! Blankly, she looked up at me.

"Is this a dream?" I whisper softly. She shakes her head hesitantly. "Please don't lie," I end up saying. Again, she shakes her head, a little more sure of herself this time.

Soon, she pushes me out of the way and starts running. I turn to see what or who she is running to, and making that decision a regretful one.

Another guy was standing there. And she was running to him.

My head pounded. I was frozen there. In the middle of an alley way watching my 'girlfriend' run. To another guy.

My head was only filled with "please don't go to him" and "please don't talk to him". Too late. Her puzzled face turned happy and joyful the second he saw him.

No, I can't let this happen. But what could I do? She was with another guy, of course she was happy. At least happier than when she was with me.

The next day wasn't as good. I walked to school like I usually do, until I saw my girlfriend standing at the entrance of the school. She seemed to be waiting for someone. I guessed it would be the guy she ditched me for yesterday, so I walked by her.

Somebody grabbed my wrist right after I did though. I turn to see my wrist being held by her, in a very firm grip I've never felt before.

"Please take a step back," I say firmly. She looks at me a confused snd shock as if I pretended she didn't exist for the past month.

"To you I'm a ghost," I say to her. Her face shows a completely puzzled look. I ignore it and just shook my hand lose to leave. Strangely, a voice soon says "I hope you're happy".
