• A strand of hair fell to his face. I pushed his hair back and kissed his lips tenderly. “You okay? You don’t look so well.” I asked worried. “I’m fine I’m fine..I just need to take some medicine and a little rest, that’s all.” Lent told me. I held his hand tightly and gave him the “I hope so” look. He didn’t look so well, practically he wouldn’t be hiding anything from me for the past 6 months we’ve been dating. Or would he? I blocked the idea from my mind and threw it somewhere in the back of my head. It was just me and him for the night. “Listen, I got to go. I’m sorry.” He said. “Aww, but why? You’ve been leaving this early since last week. Why only now?” I looked down. “I uh..I have homework to do and chores. Don’t want to upset the mom.” Come to think of it, I’ve never even met his parents before nor even talken about them. He gave me a strange look on somehow reading my mind. I answered quickly “Oh, sure..I get it. Kay I don’t want to keep your mom from waiting.” I looked away. He tried to give me a kiss on the cheek, but I moved away. I tried to give him the message that I wanted him to just leave already. He let out a loud sigh and walked out of my bedroom. I pulled the sheets over my head and fell asleep heavily.

    There he was, standing, staring, watching my every movement. I could tell that look in his eyes were unhappiness and anger. I took a step forward. A screeching sound pierced my ears and I fell to the ground. The dead me was alive, but not the live me. I looked at him “Lent?” It was as if he was looking straight at the ghost-me with a pale expression.”You’re dead.”

    “AHHHHH!!!” I woke up entirely afraid and drenched with sweat. It was just a dream, it was just a… The windows broke open and I screamed again. Gah, what a baby I am! It was just the wind!! How can I be afraid of that? I stood up steadily trying to balance myself. I walked to the windows and quickly closed them before the chill had came in and swept the warmth away. I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the clock. “Oh wow.” I whispered. “11:11 PM, just the right time to make a wish.”
