We entered the school to find the majority of the school in the auditorium watching the talent show. "You see him?" I asked the others. "No." Hope said as we looked around. "He's alright." Dad said pointing to a blood splatter on the floor. "Okay. Josie. Lizzie. I need you two to go get ready for the talent show. Kaleb, MG, and Raf you guys also." Dad said. "What about Stiles?" I asked. "You let me worry about Stiles, Jo." He said. I sighed before going backstage to get ready for the show. "Okay. Forget about Boy Wonder right now. We have a talent show to win." Lizzie said handing me a dress. "Now get dressed and be ready." Liz added walking away. I sighed looking into the mirror of the vanity.

The witches had finished our performance and the crowd stood to their feet applauding and cheering loudly. It would've been better to see Stiles in the audience cheering also. But I knew that was never going to happen. Not anymore. We walked off stage and I stood next to Hope, Dad, and Lizzie. "Anything?" I asked them. Hope shook her head with teary eyes. He's a ghost." She said with a sniffle. I wiped a tear from eyes before the lights went out. "Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the chimera faction." An announcer voiced before the chord of a piano was heard on stage. I spun around in time to see a spotlight turn on, aiming directly at Stiles. Who was sitting at a black piano in a white suit and black dress shirt and shoes. His long hair fell into his face partly covering his right eye. A mic was positioned near his face.
🎵I'm in my bed🎵
🎵And you're not here🎵
🎵And there's no one to blame but the drink and my wandering hands🎵
🎵Forget what I said🎵
🎵It's not what I meant🎵
🎵And I can't take it back🎵
🎵I can't unpack the baggage you left🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What if I'm someone I don't want around?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
🎵What if I'm down?🎵
🎵What if I'm out?🎵
🎵What if I'm someone you won't talk about?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
🎵You said you cared🎵
🎵And you missed me, too🎵
🎵And I'm well aware I write too many songs about you🎵
🎵And the coffee's out🎵
🎵At the Beachwood Café🎵
🎵And it kills me 'cause I know we've run out of things we can say🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What if I'm someone I don't want around?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
🎵What if I'm down?🎵
🎵What if I'm out?🎵
🎵What if I'm someone you won't talk about?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
🎵And I get the feelin' that you'll never need me again🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What am I now?🎵
🎵What if you're someone I just want around?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
🎵What if I'm down?🎵
🎵What if I'm out?🎵
🎵What if I'm someone you won't talk about?🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling again🎵
🎵I'm falling🎵
He finished the last few notes before looking up from the piano and looking directly at me. The audience cheered and applauded a lot more than they did for anyone else.. He got to his feet gave a bowed as he waved at the audience before walking backstage. I ran backstage to find that he had disappeared. I looked around for him but couldn't find him. I turned around to leave only to bump into someone. I looked up to see Stiles glaring down at me with his left hand in his pant pocket. "Looking for someone?" He snarled.
