'How many kids do you think is too many after we get married', he said looking me straight in the eyes. 'Kids?! We're still in college, we can think about that later',I shrugged. He was a tall, lanky boy with dark curly hair and striking green eyes, honestly I think he was way over my league but what can I say, I just got lucky….
Percy!! I screamed as the car came driving straight through him. Dead on the spot and it was obvious but so - so hard to admit to myself. I clinged to him as a crowd gathered around our mournful scene.
His funeral was quiet…cold. He was supposed to be my future and I his. I remembered the day we walked through the scary part of clarine street that night we lost track of time at the arcade, I squeezed your hand in fear but you squeezed mine even tighter, telling me 'I won't let anything happen to you, even if I don't make it my ghost will carry on the mission. Even death cant keep us apart', I laughed hysterically hearing you try to sound as manly as possible though your fear still shook your facade away. You were perfect the way you were. The days after the funeral were dull and gray, I didn't eat much and didn't show up to college since you died. I was ready to come to you since life had no meaning with you gone...Gone? But how could you be gone if you were in my kitchen making a sandwich.
'Percy?!'
'Yeah whats up?'
It's official, I've gone mad, or at least schizophrenic. There is no way my dead boyfriend is in my kitchen making a grilled cheese sandwich.
'You're not going insane, melody. I told you, not even death can keep us apart', he said in his soft voice.
'You're saying you're..'
'A ghost, yeah',he interrupted.
'But ghosts aren't real, and even if you are how are you eating, you're dead you don't need nutrients!'.
'Hey what's with all the questions and judgement from your side, just be happy, we get to be together. Aren't you glad?!'
'I am. But why did you push me out of the way, it should've been me instead.' I sobbed.
'Don't say that', he said grasping the side of my face and taking a bite of the sandwich, looking me in the eyes. His piercing but gentle green eyes, it really was him.
'But seriously how are you eating', I asked
'Oh that reminds me, there's tons of paranormal stuff I gotta explain to you. Like there's this guy named Jeff and he used to be a serial killer but he's a pretty chill lad, oh and there's this girl, Cleo. You might wanna stay away from her, she wants to kill you'.
What?!
