....
He’s sad?
He’s sad and here I am devastated.
I love Sterling. I love him more than I want to admit. He’s an amazing person and I do not want to lose him.
I really don’t, but this is too much for me.
First, knowing that he is an actual ghost.
I mean that did a number on me but I accepted that.
A part of me still don’t believe he’s a ghost even though I have seen him do unexplainable things.
In fact, it explains why he knew or knows so much about me without really trying.
I used to think it was because he

I glance at Lizzie and her eyes are bulging out.......“Rosie!” Sterling scolds me.I end the call. He is not in a position to judge or dare I say, scold me.“You went nuts.” Lizzie says.“I never thought you had it in you. Cheers.” She says with a proud smile.Leave it to Lizzie to be proud of me for cussing someone out.But to be honest, I feel kind of liberated.A satisfied feeling lingers in the air.I roll my eyes playfully at Lizzie and she chuckles.In no time, we reach a very large modern house.

And that’s the last thing I hear before the world around me starts to spin.I then fall and slip into a peaceful darkness.........I flutter my eyes open slowly and I’m welcomed with bright white light.Am I dead?Am I in heaven?How did I even die? I don’t remember a single thing.My eyes begin to adjust to the light and now I can tell that I’m laying down on my back, obviously on a small bed.The ceilings remind me of when I used to visit my grandmother in the hospital.I try to turn my head and a sharp pain instantly takes over the front of my head.Damn,

Now I’m alone with only my thoughts.But even my thoughts seem to be getting more quiet.I then black out......Ouch.Something bit my arm.I was sleeping blissfully. Blissfully away from all the drama and happenings in my life.But something bit me and woke me up from paradise.My eyes flutters open and I furrow my eyebrows.The room looks blurred for a quick second and then my vision begins to adjust.“She’s awake.” I hear a familiar voice.“Are you sure?” I hear

I turn to look at him and I remember the Sterling I fell in love with. He’s the same person standing here today, I just know his flaws now......Gosh, he looks so broken.Well, I am too. He broke me.But broken pieces can be glued together again, right?I’m willing. I’m willing to glue the broken pieces.“Wesley, please give us the room.” I say formally.“You got to be kidding me.” Wesley says in frustration.“Please.” I say to him.He looks at me for a few seconds and sighs.

“Hi Jason.” I say.......What in the world is Jason doing here?The last time I heard from him was when he texted me and I ghosted him.This is not good.Why is it not good?I already found out Sterling is bipolar and very much obsessed with me; I don’t want anything triggering him to relapse.Hence this hot human by the name of Jason.Jealousy is a powerful emotion. A dangerous and ruthless one at that.But how do I even know if Sterling would be jealous?Jason greets my mother and Lizzie while he sits down in the chair next to Lizzie.

Yeah, I know. Savage.Such a basic and formal emoji to a string of beautiful emojis illustrating love........Air.Sweet fresh air.I’m free, I’m finally free!No more hospital beds, no more pale colored rooms, no more people thinking I’m going to kick the bucket.I have been officially discharged from the hospital, but with a warning.I have to take it easy, no strenuous activity for the next two weeks.That’s fine by me.I’m in my Sterling’s car and we’re driving home. The car ride is relaxing and c

I sigh as I ring it for the third time. This time, I hear the door lock click.It then opens, but who I see is almost enough to make me faint.What the hell is Jason doing here?!.........“Hey.” He says.He smiles in a flirtatious way.Oh goodness, somebody help me.“Hey.” Sterling says.“If you don’t mind, we need to get in the apartment.” He continues. His voice holds authority.“Oh. Yeah, sure man.” Jason says as he opens the door wider.I want to disappear!Sterling gestures me to step in and I do so. He

I feel like my life is just out of place and I don’t understand crap........“Wake up, Dork.” I hear a voice say.I twist and turn in my sleep. The softness of the duvet makes me moan and I hug it even tighter.A sudden light suddenly shines in my face. My eyes are closed but I can feel the intensity of the light.I groan and turn the other side.“Bro, get up.” I hear the voice again.This time I feel strong hands rock me. But not in attempt to make fall asleep, but in attempt to wake me up.I open my eyes finally and I’m met with the image of a m

“But when we came here to see you, the doctors called and said he was healing remarkably. They said at the rate he was healing, it was as if he weren’t human.” Wesley helps to explain.“But that’s the thing, he isn’t.” I say to them and they smile.“Yeah, he isn’t.” They both say together.............Where Jason and Griffin disappeared to, I don’t know. But I hope they stay there, and I have a gut feeling that they will.Jason has caused all the havoc he wanted to. He has left me with so many questions, including questions about my relationship with Sterling and so much more.Today is Sunday and Ronald was buried yesterday. Of course, we all

When the paramedics reach us, a beautiful African American lady holds my hand.“Would you please come with me?” She asks me with a warm smile and I nod. I begin to follow her and I look back.I see the male paramedic attending to Marilyn and Lizzie and I breathe out a sigh of relief.Things are finally beginning to look like it’s going to get better...............“Ms. Jacobs?” I hear a distant voice.“Ms. Jacobs?” The female voice sounds again and I look forward. I see a beautiful lady.She could be in her late thirties or less. Her face is perfectly shaped and her eyes are forest

“It means he didn’t love you. He might have just been infatuated with you.” Jason says and Lizzie’s mouth and mine falls open.“You son of a bitch.” Lizzie says with a daring smile on her lips.“That’s sad but I think he’s right.” Marilyn says slowly.She seems to be the calmest person here despite the fact that her husband’s dead body is only a few feet away from us.................“But...but..” Lizzie seems taken aback by the fact that Sterling might not have even loved her.“At least you don’t get to a ghost, honey.” Marilyn tries to console Lizzie but I don’t think it’s working.

I touch her shoulders lightly, as to comfort her and she looks at me and smiles. “They’re gone, aren’t they?” She asks and my heart aches.“They would be back. They would be back very soon.” I say to her and she smiles.“You can continue.” She says to Jason and he makes a content face. ..............“Sterling rejected me.” Jason says and Lizzie snorts.“Well, clearly then you are obsessed with him.” Lizzie says and I smile a bit.“Would you please let this young man finish what he’s trying to say?” Marilyn surprises us all by asking.Even Jason is surprised.

“You know what? I want to hear it.” She walks over to me and sits near me. “Tell us why you are a psychopath.” She says.She then looks at her wrist as if there’s a watch there and says “And hey, be quick about it. I want to hear the entire story before you get thrown in prison.” ...............Sirens.A siren is a device that makes a long prolonged sound as a signal or warning.They are usually attached to ambulances, police vehicles, fire trucks, and more.It is the sound that the police cars make when they are on route to somewhere. And about right now, I yearn to hear any hint of them.Just a dull sound of sirens right now w

“But why? Why? What did I do to you that hurt you this bad?” I ask him, I genuinely want to know.He smiles sadly and looks me right in my eyes and I have never seen such great sadness.“You stole the love of my life, Rose. You took away my very heartbeat.” He says............The dots are not connecting, it all seems to be making sense but at the same time, it doesn’t.“Don’t look so confused, Rose.” Jason says as he stares at his hands on his lap.Griffin on the other hand seems uncomfortable with this conversation being held right before him.“Of course, she is going to be confused.” Lizzie says in a ton

“Excuse me, this has nothing to do with my family. Can you all just leave us out of this?” Ronald says bravely. There isn’t a hint of fear in his voice and I applaud him for that.He also stands up from the couch, despite a literal gun being pointed at his face.“Ronald, no.” Marilyn says softly.“No. No, Marilyn. He wants to be a hero, let him be one.” Jason says. ..............Oh, this is not good.“Sit down, Ronald. Do not tempt me.” Griffin says as he adjusts his grip on the gun.“Give me the gun.” Jason says to Griffin and he doubles back.“What?&r

I hear a beep and I follow the sound. It’s coming from Griffin’s pocket. It may be his phone.Griffin holds the pistol with one hand as he fishes the phone out of his pocket.He then looks at the screen and clicks on it.“Someone is making a call from here.” He says calmly...............“Rose.” Jason drags my name. “What are you not telling me?” He is now very close to me that when he talks, I can feel his warm breath.I should move but I feel stiffened.“There is nothing to tell.” I say simply and he raises his hand and brings it close to my face. I flinch slightly when he touches my cheek. His fingers fe

“Yeah, sure.” Lizzie says politely and I too nod in agreement.She then gestures for us to follow us.“I will have to warm it up in the microwave, you two should take a shower while I do that. The bathroom is right upstairs, second door to the left.” She says............We do as she says and follow her directions. After a shower, we both step out feeling like new people. She gave us some clothes which were very comfortable. She told us that they were her grandchildren’s clothes.“This marsh potato is heavenly, Miss Marilyn.” I say after I swallow a spoonful of the dish.She smiles brightly, obviously feeling a sense of pride for her dish.
