The Boy That Lives In My House

Chapter 47

"So your telling me that my dead brother is a ghost and he's sitting next to you on your couch?" Lucy say trying to make sense of all this

"Yes" I say as I look at Luke

I watch Lucy look at the empty spot next to me on the couch.

"This is crazy" she whispers to herself

"Tell her she looks like mom" Luke says to me

"Luke uh wanted me to tell you that you look your mother" I tell Lucy

She smiles sadly "I feel like I'm dreaming"

"I thought I was too or going crazy" I say

"Why can only you see him?" She asks me

"We been talking about that and we think it may be because I was in a car accident and I died for a couple of minutes" I let her know

"I'm sorry" she tells me "but this isn't possible" I hear her mutter under her breath

"Is there any thing you want to ask him" I ask her

She looks at me her jaw wide open "I uh" she looks at her hands and takes a deep breath and then looks at the empty spot next to me where Luke is siting "I'm so sorry" she starts crying

"Don't be sorry" Luke says

"He says don't be sorry" I tell her what he said

"I should of fought her off more or did something it's my fault that your dead" she sobs

"No it's not your fault at all" he says pleading to her

"It's not your fault at all" I say

"I'm glad your the one that survived I would never been able to live without you" Luke says, I can tell he's trying not to cry "all I ever wanted was for you to be happy and have the life you deserved"

"He's glad your the one to have survived because he wouldn't of been able to live without you. All he ever wanted was for you to be happy and have the life that you deserved" I repeat

She smiles sadly "I miss you" she whispers

"Ive missed you" he says

"He missed you too" I choke up

"How are you still here?" She asks

"He couldn't move into the light" I tell her

"Why not?"

"Because he has unfinished business" I say

"What his unfinished business?" she asks, i don't even know

"Miss Watson" he whispers
