Nick seemed to really want me to tell Zak. Did he trust Zak that much? "Is Zak really that trustworthy to you? I'm a little worried." I said. Nick hesitated, but nodded.

(Nick was lying btw)

I sighed. "Alright. Fine." I said. Nick half smiled at me. Just then Zak came back downstairs.

"I'm back."

"I can see ghosts."

"Excuse me?"

He stood there looking at me with a shocked expression after saying that. "I can see ghosts. I'm a medium. I can see Nick here, I've been able to see him the whole time." I said. Nick looked at Zak with a worried expression. I wondered why.

"....Is that so...?" He said glaring at me. He then turned his and gave Nick the same glare. Nick looked him in the eyes. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't worry Zak. It's fine. We can trust him." Nick said. Zak softened his gaze and sighed. "Whatever you say." He said as he sat down on the couch, on the other side of Nick.

Nick told me, using telepathy, that he had told Karl he kept the secret of his death. I could tell he was telling the truth. That's why I calmed down so easily.

"So, is that the real reason you came here? So you could talk to Nick?" I said, not looking at Karl and simply turning on the tv. "..Yeah... but, Darryl did say that you were good company! He said he always had fun with you, and that you were his favorite person to hang out with." He said. My eyes widened a bit, and I could feel my face become red.

After I said that Zak seemed a little shocked. He went as red as a tomato. His expression softened back into a normal one, but he was still red, which he probably knew seeing as he covered his face with his sleeve.

"Wait... do you have a crush on Darryl?" I asked. He glared at me, not removing his sleeve. I laughed quietly. "Yeah he's like totally head over heels in love with him." Whispered Nick to me. I laughed a bit louder than before, but quiet enough so that Zak didn't bat an eye.

A couple hours of hanging out with Zak and Nick's ghost later I decided to retreat back home, I said my goodbyes and left. Nick seemed really cool. I wish he could've lived long enough for me to properly meet him.

     After Karl left we both went silent. "....Why?" I said looking at Nick. He looked me in the eyes. "Why what?" He asked. "Why...? Why didn't you tell Karl the truth...? You had to have wanted to. So why did you?" I asked. He turned away. "I... I don't know." He said before turning invisible and becoming silent.

I didn't know why he didn't just tell Karl the truth. He hated me and would tell me he would sell me out if he ever got the chance. So why didn't he take that chance? I didn't really understand.

One thing I did know though, is that he seemed a lot happier. He was finally able to talk to someone other than me. Other than the person who murdered him. Who took his chance at living a good happy life away. He was able to talk to a good person. Someone who understood empathy, and love, and sadness, and all of those emotions.. he finally had someone sane.

You can imagine his euphoria because of this. I felt kind of.. happy. In a way.. I guess it was nice seeing someone so full of sadness, so broken, be genuinely happy. I didn't really think I could get any happiness out of other people's happiness except for Darryl's.

Maybe it's because I admired that. That happiness. I wish I could have it all the time. But no matter what I always have this painful feeling of anxiety and horror inside of me, it's hard to just be happy like that. But that's why I'm so attached to Darryl. He made me feel love. He made me feel genuinely happy. I'm happy whenever I'm around him, and I don't get to feel happy most of the time.

I want to feel that happiness all the time, like the others can.. they can feel that happiness so often, they feel it all the time. I'm envious of that. They don't understand how good that happiness truly it. They don't understand how amazing it feels. Because they've never had it taken away. All I want is to feel that happiness like they do.

And the only way I can feel that is when I'm with Darryl. That's why I can't let anyone else have him. That's why I can't lose him. I can't lose him... I can't lose that feeling of being happy with him...

I wish I could be like them. I would do anything just to be normal. That's really all I want. I want to be normal. I want to be like a normal person, who can feel happy all the time, who can experience sadness and actually be affected by it, who feels remorse when doing bad things, who gets sick at the thought of killing someone.

But I'm not normal. I'll never be normal. I long for that, but I'll never be that. I've already dirtied my name. I've already committed terrible acts of hatred and jealousy. I've already stained my clothes with blood. I can't go back now. There's no redemption for me. That's why I'm still doing this. I can't be redeemed. So I might as well keep doing it this way. Keep making sure Darryl stays mine.

This way.
