Falling in Love with a Ghost

Chapter 28

Kris' POV

I looked at the girl who was darting her eyes everywhere, searching for me. The same girl who started all this "bullshit" as Mark said it.

That guy's slowly starting to be violent, I tell you. His face earlier could make a serial killer run away with his tail between his legs.

Anyway, this girl in front of me is not the girl I dated years ago. She is not the girl I liked 3 years ago. What made her change anyways?

I shook my head, not believing that I'm even concerned with that matter at this moment. I don't really have to worry about that. All I care about right now is how to teach her a lesson after scaring Kylie like that.

"K-kris?" She stuttered. I grinned evilly as I heard her stutter. That's right. Be scared. No one can help you right now. I made sure no one would pass by this part of the building. Not even a single soul.

I waved my hand to make myself visible to her. I stood in front of her, leaving a few inches of space between us. She gasped as she stepped backwards and hit her back against the wall.

"Why are you so afraid of me, Crystal?" I sent her a lopsided grin.

She was breathing heavily. "You're not real!"

"But I am real." I smirked.

"Y-you won't hurt me!"

I feigned an innocent look. "Oh, how are you so sure of that?"

"Y-you like me! You promised me you would never hurt me!" She gave me a confident look.

Yes, I remember telling her that I would never hurt her. That I would beat myself to death if I ever hurt her. Too bad, I'm already dead.

I laughed sarcastically. "How naive, Crystal. Promises are meant to be broken just like you said," I paused. "After I caught you cheating on me with my best friend."

She shook her head sideways and smiled. "I know you still like me. You wouldn't still be in this world if you already moved on. You even killed yourself just because I cheated on you."

I was stunned at what she said. I killed myself? Just because of her? I..I don't believe it. That's impossible. I'm not that weak.

She walked towards me, plastering a sympathetic look on her face. "You see, Kris? That's how much you love me. You even took your own life just because you found out that there was someone else."

She then stood on her tiptoes and whispered in my ear. "Although you're already dead, you're still tied to me. That is how much you wanted us to stay together. You couldn't leave me, and that's why you're still here, aren't you?"

I stayed quiet and thought over what she just said. Is that why I couldn't cross over? Because of this girl? Maybe she's right. Maybe I can't get over their betrayal? Maybe I'm still stuck in the past? Maybe I still have feelings for her? Maybe, maybe not.

I slowly brought my head down to her level, not breaking eye contact. In return, she looked at me with hooded eyes. She slowly closed her eyes as I keep closing the distance. I just stopped when our noses were almost touching. Fortunately, she can't touch me.

When she opened her eyes, I smirked. "Keep telling yourself that, Crystal. I don't even like you that way anymore. I wouldn't have shown my face to you or even go near you if you didn't make fun of someone I care about."

I stepped back, satisfied with her appalled face.

"Who is it?" She asked or more like demanded after a few seconds of composing herself.
