Ghost of You (Book 1)

Chapter 8

The next day Kason wasn't at school. I hadn't seen him since yesterday. When he kissed me and called me his dork. To be fare I called him mine too but was he scared? Was he scared of me? Why would he be?

Today I was left to defend myself against Kayla. She's a bitch. But I'm used to the bully so I just ignore it. I didn't have anyone to sit at lunch with today either.

I sit with my only friend. Which is Kason and he was t here today. Maybe he was ignoring me?

It was the end of the day when I just didn't start caring anymore. He didn't want to see me that's fine. He didn't want to talk about the kiss that's fine.

I had to walk home today too because he was my only ride. Kayla and her minions took the bus. My house was two miles away. Shit.

When I get home I'm all sweaty because today was eighty degrees out. I had to walk in that weather. Imagine that. I definitely needed a shower. Like big time.

When I get out I hear the downstairs door open. Aunt Hail was back early. Great now I don't have time to myself.

"Harley can you come down here?!" Aunt Hail yells from downstairs.

"Yeah I'll be down!" I yell from my dresser.

I quickly put on my cloths. Maybe Kason was here?

"What do you need?" I say in a kind voice walking into the kitchen.

"Um...your friend he said to give this to you" Hail says giving me a letter with a return address.

It was from Kason. Why couldn't he come in person? Why couldn't he talk to me?

"Thanks Aunt Hail" I say looking at the letter still.

"He was pretty cute Harley. What's his name?" She asks me wiggling her eyebrows.

"Um...his names Kason and he's just a friend" I say shrugging my shoulders.

Yeah a friend you kissed. Or he kissed you? You both kissed each other!!!

"Thanks" I say holding up the mystery letter.

Why would he give me this. More importantly what did he have to say?

I tear open the letter in seconds. I open up the paper carefully. The letter starts off like this.

Dear Harley,
I know your probably confused why I'm not talking to you in person. You probably think you did something wrong. Like the kiss. I wanted it to happen but that's not it. I have some family issues. I didn't think you needed to be apart of it. You have already been through enough at school. Your the only person I'm going to tell this to outside my family. No one knows. Your pretty special. Well your special to me.
My dad I said he was killed before I was born. I know I should've have told you the truth but I didn't want you to be scared of me. I would never hurt you. Ever. The reason I lied was because my dad is in jail. He was arrested for domestic abuse. Then he murdered someone. My family isn't good. So which makes me not good. I can't let you be friends with me Harley. I know I said everything in the world. I really wanted to be your friend. I can't. Not after we kissed and for you to know now my dad hit me and my mom I can't let you be near me. Just know I'll always be here even when we don't see each other. I leave tomorrow to go to the trial for my dad. I'll send you more letters. I'll send them everyday. It was fun being your friend for a few moments and kissing you was beyond this world. So I hope you can forgive me. And I wouldn't trade you for the world."

Love, Kason

He was going away? That's when I knew I was going to lose him. But I couldn't not now not ever. So I am going to do something about it. He said he was leaving tomorrow that means he was still here which means I need to go to him.
