I went outside after breakfast with Julian and sat on the cold patio.
"I never thought you'd actually let me meet your parents,Evelyn."
"I know, but I...."
Before I could finish my sentence I saw a kid sitting on a empty patch of grass that didn't have any snow on it.

"Ummm Julian can you wait here a moment?"
"Sure"
I got up and walked towards the kid, and he saw me and stood up.
"Who are you?" I said to him
"I'm Max, and I'm the ghost of Xmas present"
"Are you serious? Another one"
He rolled his eyes and said.
"Yeah, duh there are like three of us, you already met the old dude now you have me then a weirdo is after me. Just don't let him touch you."
"Why?"
"Cause he sweats a lot... What do you think? He's.... I can't tell you."
"Why? What aren't you telling me?"
"Ghost have a set of rules that the big man upstairs sets, and that is one thing we can't tell them. But he never told me how cute you were, damn."
I covered my body with my arms and he laughed.

"Don't worry,ghost honor."
"What do you want?"
He snaps his fingers and we are outside of my families house.
"Look inside and you will see your grandparents crying cause they never see you blah blah next." He snaps his fingers and we are at Julian's.
"Here's your boy toy, he got sick cause he kept having to climb your fire escape to see you blah blah next."
I grabbed his hands and said.
"I resolved that already, so it still happens?"
"Well your parents told you,you couldn't be with him so yeah."
"So it was inevitable?"
"Umm sure yeah next."
He snapped his fingers and we are back in my backyard.
"So as you see your doomed." He laughed slightly.
"Your an ass"
"I know"
"I wonder how you died, probably took a selfie in the street and got ran over."
"Harsh but no, got shot in the street by your house by mistake."
"Big surprise"
"Yeah well I'm here to follow you for the day."
"Why?"
"I don't know I'm just the ghost boy"
"Ok?"
"Yeah so whose this?"
He points to Julian
"That's my boyfriend."
He smiled and walked over to him and said hi.
