Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 3

"Little did I know he was a ghost, not of the dead, but of the truth...

He spoke in broken sounds, croaks and stutters sewn into each breath, like a man cursed with a sickness words couldn't name"...

"You'd start to see the cracks in the velvet lie wrapped in a crimson promise"...thoughts in mind...

Wait a second...were all these thoughts fabricated or are bound to happen...I felt chills crawl and seep through my inner body, as if the future was giving a warning...

I hit my head with my fist...focus Anna...

Dave doesn't seem too good, help him out...I actually felt bad seeing him helpless on the floor with teary eyes...

"Don't feel bad for me," he whispered...

"It's nothing, just a small...thing" he said...

OMG he looked so adorable and helpless...I just pulled him to my embrace until I couldn't hear his heart beat so loud..."thanks Anna, how I wish I had met you earlier"...did I just just hear that??? It was like all my dreams are bound to come true

He slept over that night without my parents noticing...Luckily for us, the next day was a weekend and prom night was the following week. He sneaked out when mom and dad dashed to the mart to grab food items for the house

Immediately he left, I called Kathy and Britney, my two best friends and told them how we "spent" the night together. I expected shouts and all but they were super excited because girl, I just turned 18!...what's the worst that could happen

I got up from bed to check on my siblings, then I found a note on the floor...I was eager to open and read it. I opened it only for me to realise the words were the same as the tiny voice or thought I heard in my head last night...

In total confusion, I echoed..."WHO IS DAVE?"
