The Visitors

A new friend

   I got home from school, and went straight to my room. I like to stay in there. My mom doesn't really care, my dad never knew me, and i'm an only child, so I's socially acceptable I guess. After what happened this morning I don't want to, but I need to ask Dan a few questions, "Dan, I need to talk to you l"! I called out. I opened the closet door.
   "Stop! My mother warned me about people like you"! Ugh I also needed tp clear up what happened earlier. What happened was he was sleeping on my closet. I had to move him, he fell, and I tried to pick him up. He woke up, and it seemed like I tried to sexually assault him in his sleep.
   What if he thinks I like him? I might just a little bit..... But, he's a ghost! What if he thinks I'm really that indecent enough to do something like that. "Hey listen! Earlier you fell down asleep, and I was just trying to help you"! I hope he actually believes me. He replied "Alright, that makes sense". I was beyond relieved.
   "Oh, yeah, Dan. Who is that old timely female ghost, with the blond hair"? "Oh, her... That's Elizabeth. She died here before me, and when I died, and became a ghost I didn't know what to do. She took me in, and brought me here. She's only 23 hersel, but she acted like a mother to me". It seems like Dan's been through a lot. If he didn't know any ghosts around here he must have been terrified, and confused when he died.
   Elizabeth's only 23, yet she seems so mature. I wonder how old Dan is? He looks about my age, and I'm 15. "Say, Dan... How old are you? I'm 15". He looked lost in thought. "Oh I'm 16". For some reason it made me happy to hear that. Dan suddenly said "This is the first time in a while I've felt like I had a friend". He had such a sad look on his face...
