Haunted

Chapter 3

"No!" I said astonished. "How would that work? YOU'RE DEAD." My voice escalated at the end and then lowered as I whispered "you're dead" once again. I turned around, everyone back stage was staring at me. I heard Paul tell Zayn "He was doing so much better these past few months. What happened?" And I was.

I hadn't forgotten about Anna but I had moved on. In fact, I was talking to a new girl that I really liked. "Come on guys. We have to finish the show, we can't just let the fans pay for tickets and stay backstage the whole time." Said Liam. He was annoyed with me. Him and Danielle had broken up recently and he's had a short fuse. "Harry? Are you done being insane yet? We have to go." He asked me. "I'm not insane. She is right there." I told him, looking at him straight in the eyes, pleading for him to just believe me. I turn around to look at the rest of the boys, all getting ready to go back on stage. I feel someone lay the hand on my shoulder, I turn around. "Anna!" I jumped startled as how I had almost forgot she was there. "Come on Harry," she said smiling. "It's so much fun on the other side. You can eavesdrop on people's conversations, you can scare people. And It's a lot more fun to do it when you're dead and can't get caught." She winked at me. "You want me to... to die?" I looked up at her, confused. "You can't join me any other way babe" she said. "Fuck you! My life is amazing right now. I don't need you to screw it up." I look her straight into her colorless eyes that were once a sky blue. "AGAIN." I said with force. "Harry. You need to be on stage now." Said Paul. "Okay, I'm going." I say. "Sorry for that everybody, I think Harry might have had a couple of drinks before the show." Niall yelled to the crowd smiling that grin that made all of them go wild. I look out to the audience and see Anna right where she stood 20 minutes earlier. I look at her, straight in the eyes and show her that she isn't effecting me like she was before. That I wasn't going to let her humiliate me again.

*2 hours later*

"Great show boys!" Louis told us as we walked backstage. "Good to see Harry finally acting like himself again." He playfully messed up my hair. I punch him in his arm and laughed. "What was that earlier?" Asked Niall "I don't know man, I guess I just did have a few to many drinks before the show." I laughed. I walked into my dressing room and Anna was sitting on the couch. "Hello Harry." "What do you want?" "Who is Candace?" Candace was a fan I had met at a show a couple months ago. We've hung out a couple times in London after that. "How do you know about her?" "Because I've been watching you since my death Harry. It's quite entertaining, your life."

I hear someone knocking on my door. "Harry? It's Zayn." "Come in." "Hey, we're leaving in a few minutes. All the lads have already gone to the tour bus. I'm going now." "Oh, okay. I'll be there in a minute." He shut the door. I turned around to face Anna. "Quite attractive that boy. It's to bad he has a girlfriend. And he's alive." She smirked. "Leave him alone, leave me alone. Just leave." I tell her as I'm walking out the door. "Just remember Harry, I may not be able to bring you over myself, but there are ways. I will not rest until you are mine again." She yelled after me her voice louder when she yelled the last part.
