I need to vent to someone so I quickly text Mary and Eli

Me: I hate that guy Felix!!!!

Eli: who?

Mary: what now? Lol

Me: he's such a jerk and I told him he was an ahole.

Mary:wow good for you.

Eli: who's Felix?????

Mary: a guy at her school who's also her neighbor. Keep up Eli.

Eli: excuse me?

Me:i mean he's kinda sorta a little bit nice one minute and a huge jerk the next!

Mary: maybe that's just how it is with him.

Eli: you want me to kick his ass

Mary: I'm pretty sure if anyone could kick his ass it would be Jess lol

Eli: I'm tough!

Mary: sure you are baby

Me: thanks for the offer but I'm just going to ignore him or kill him with kindness

Mary: just go take a walk and cool off

Eli: get some ice cream that always makes me feel better

Me: thanks for the advice. I'll talk to you guys later.

I grab my jacket and walk outside, I'm just going to keep walking until I'm feeling better. I just hope I don't get lost.

And of course I pass a cemetery.

Maybe I should go in? I mean ghost are actually nicer than the living?

I take a deep breath and start to walk in, I feel calm for some reason but also overwhelmed.

"Hello?" I look and see a old lady

"Hi" I smile

She sitting on the bench.

"May I sit next to you?" I ask her

"Of course" she pats down the empty spot next to her

"How can you see me child?" She asks confused

"Long story" I mutter

"What's troubling you?" She says softly

"Nothing I just I moved here and now I have no friends and this guy that's my neighbor and in charge of taking me to school is a totally jerk and I just want to cry because I miss my friends and my Luke" I say crying

She pats my back soothing me.

"Well you don't know what will happen tomorrow it might be better"

"Yeah that's what everyone says" I sigh

I look at her "if you don't mind me asking what's your unfinished business?"

"My husband George I'm worried about him." She sighs "he forgets to take his pills"

"Where does your husband live?" I ask her

"Over on Apple street in the blue house" she tells me

"I'll go help him" I tell her

She looks like she's about to cry now "thank you so much"

"Can you do something for me?" I ask

"Anything"

"When you go into the light will you tell a boy named Luke that I miss him" I say trying not to cry again

"I promise"

I see her slowly fading but she's not going anywhere until I do what I told her I was going to do.

"Goodbye" I smile and head to Apple street

It takes me awhile until I finally find it.

I knock on his door

"Hello who's there?" He says answering the door

"Hi I'm sorry I don't mean to bother you but I'm a volunteer at the hospital. May I come in?" I ask him, I'm getting really good at this lying thing

"Of course sit down" he says

I sit across from him

"I won't take much of your time but I wanted to check on you and make sure your taking all of your medication?"

"Well I think so but sometimes I'll have to admit I forget" he chuckles

"Well I brought you something" I hand him something he can put his pills in for every day of the week

"Thank you" he smiles like I gave him a diamond

"Here let me organize them for you" I say happy to help him

"Thank you"

I make sure he's all set for what pill to take on what days.

"Just make sure you go to your check ups I saw you have one Thursday at 2" I say to him

"I can't thank you enough" he smiles

"It's my pleasure just take care of yourself" I smile
