Haunted

So this ones kinda weird and potentially really dark. Ever wanted to be haunted by a ghost?

Haunted

We'd been friends since childhood, growing up just a few houses away and the  same age we'd quickly become inseparable. Even from a young age our parents and family friends would joke about us becoming a couple.  All of this only got worse once we'd reached High School, the constant goading and joking probably delaying the process. 

Despite us both knowing deep down the rumors were mostly true neither of us ever plucked up the courage to act on it and things rolled on and on, both of us getting more and more awkward the more we noticed it. we'd become oddly distant by the end of the semester but after some convincing we all agreed to wait and walk home together like we all used to. I'm late getting out of the class and you're about to give up waiting assuming i've bottled it you and our friends start walking and have passed the busy road, by the time i get out. 

Spotting you i rush to the curb, waving and shouting your name to get your attention, turning around you cant help but blush over how beautiful i'm looking in the Autumn sun. carelessly i cross the road, not paying attention to my surroundings, none of us see the car speeding down the street. and i'm struck by the car, brutally  flipped over the chassis before they speed off away. now driving even more erratically from the accident.

(Authors note* Turns out they were high school kids, just a year up from us, who had stolen one of their dads car and were not supposed to be driving)

Sadly I succumb to my injuries and you become utterly inconsolable, spending most of the holiday in your room, the only time you even saw your friends was at my funeral, everyone walking on egg shells not to upset you, knowing how you must be hurting. and nobody was surprised when you didn't come back at the start of the new semester. but after a few weeks like this your family have finally had enough and manage to convince you the need to go back to classes. Relenting just to be left alone again you go to sleep early, trying to prepare for the day ahead. the reminders it'll bring, the awkward moments etc. 

The alarm rings out and you slowly stir awake, the covers of the bed are much heavier than normal and everything is so warm and snug. You just want to stay like this forever, but it's not right, not wanting to open your eyes you try to think up a logical explanation, assuming it's your younger sister you whine, telling me to get out of your bed and even try to swat me on the head. drawing a familiar whine  and voice. panicked your eyes dart open, shifting into focus your greeted with a snuggly sleepy me! still clinging and trying to keep snoozing.

And thats where we'd start. and well theirs two kinda arc's? paths? well one is dark, turns out a delusion for a girlfriend isn't healthy and you slowly shut yourself away from the rest of the world, only wanting me. your mind rotting away as you slip into an unrecognizable stuper, until even your delusion of a girlfriend is done with you. And the other is far more lighthearted, where we explore the relationship we never had with all the hijinks of living with a ghost Until I eventually try to save you and help you move on.
